In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.
In the consulting room on the orthopedics floor of the private hospital, Anthea stood there in a white gown. Eric was sitting on a chair, and next to them was an orthopedic physician who treated his wound.
Anthea asked, "Hannah, how is his wound?"
Hannah, the orthopedic physician smiled and said, "He's fine. Don't worry! His bone fracture is not serious, but he should continue using the splint to support the broken bone for a week. Let's see how it recovers by then!"
After changing the fresh dressing for the wound, Hannah fixed the splints with the bandages.
According to the condition of his recovery, Hannah prescribed him some anti-inflammatory drugs.
"Thank you, Doctor Wadley!" Eric said thanks and then looked at Anthea. "I can deal with it myself.
Thank you for coming to accompany me. Will I delay your work?"
Anthea smiled and shook her head. "It's okay. I'm not busy now!"
In fact, she felt sorry for him.
Although she was not the one who hit him, she felt that she had something to do with this.
Eric did not understand what she was thinking. He only thought that she was so nice to him. Deeply touched, he said, "Anthea, tonight you..."
Before he could finish, her cell phone rang.
It was a call from the hospital. After Anthea picked it up, she heard Mila say, "Hello, Director Lee, someone from the nurse station is looking for you!"
"Who?" Anthea was confused.
"Come over and you'll know!" Mila said.
Anthea was afraid that her patient was looking for her, so she did not dare to delay. "Well, I'll be right there!"
She briefly told Eric about the situation and hurried back to the department of general surgery.
Coming out of the elevator, Anthea walked straight to the nurse station and saw a tall and strong figure in a clean military uniform. The shoulder marks reflected rays of golden sunlight into her eyes.
Anthea, seeing him, was speechless.
She looked around but did not see Mila.
Mila ran away long ago!
Anthea turned around and wanted to leave.
She heard the sounds of his military boots falling to the ground. Adam caught up with her, his tall shadow blocking her way. Anthea had no choice but to force a smile and asked, "So, Uncle Adam, what do you want me to do?"
Adam knew that she called him like this on purpose.
He did not argue with her, but said, "I have something for you, Anthea."
Anthea, looking at him, asked, "What is it?"
Adam said, "You'll know it when you come out with me."
"But I have some work to do!" Anthea frowned.
"It won't delay you for too long." As soon as Adam finished speaking, he grabbed her small hand with his big hand, trying to take her away.
Anthea wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that he would carry her away on his shoulders. That day, on the golf course, he threatened her like that. Though the hospital was full of people and he had to consider that he was a military officer in uniform, she was still worried.
"I'll go myself!" Anthea got rid of his big hand.
Adam did not insist on holding her hands. "Okay."
They took the elevator and walked out of the hospital building.
When Adam came out, he immediately lit a cigarette, using the lighter that she gave him.
He deliberately played with her necklace, his fingertips touching the bright love pea in the sunlight.
Anthea looked away.
They passed through the clinic building from the inpatient department and continued to move forward. It seemed that he was going to get out of the hospital.
Anthea frowned. "Where on earth is it?"
"Go ahead." Adam lifted his chin slightly.
Finally, she walked out of the hospital with him. The green military jeep stopped on the side of the road instead of the parking lot in the yard.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
