Chapter 1082


    Mira opened the bathroom door and walked out dressed in neat clothes.


    Adam still had the towel around his waist but he also wore a camouged training coat. He stood in


    front of the French window, with a cigarette in his hand, but he didn''t smoke. Instead, he looked


    down.


    Mira also walked over, but Anthea had already disappeared.


    She didn''t know what he was looking at.


    "Captain Chin..."


    Mira shouted and asked him awkwardly, "Is my task finished?"


    In fact, she wasn''t working in this city, but in the neighboring city. She came here yesterday morning


    because she hade to visit her husband in the army.


    She was a soldier''s spouse. Adam and her husband were superior and subordinate,rades-in-


    arms, and also friends who were on good terms. So she called Adam Captain Chin as her husband


    called him.


    Mira''s husband hadn''t finished his mission when she arrived yesterday, and Adam was responsible


    for her reception. On the way, he asked her whether she could do him a favor...


    "Yes, thank you." Adam said calmly, "I''ve asked Carter toe here, and he will take you to the


    army."


    "Okay, got it!" Mira nodded.


    When she turned around and was about to left, something came to her mind. She handed the


    things she had picked up just now to Adam and said, "Captain Chin, this is the medicine that Anthea


    left at the door."


    "Thanks." Adam reached out to take it.


    The sound of the door closing could be heard and the room returned to silence.


    Adam stood still. The cigarette in his hand had somehow been burnt into ashes. The ashes were


    blown away by the winding in through the window and gently scattered in the air.


    He stared at the bag in his hand.


    There were two boxes of cold medicine and a small bottle of anti-inmmatory medicine in it.


    Adam suddenly remembered the situation when she bought medicine for him, and his heart was


    filled with emotions.


    She was like a zing sun, shining on his boring and dull life.


    Such passionate love in such a vigorous age...


    "Adam, Anthea is still young and immature. So she often has immature thoughts. She would rush


    into something even she herself was not clear about!!"


    "I''ve already lost Hendrix. I''m guilty for him. The only thing I can do is to take good care of Anthea


    for him. I can''t let the child go astray. Only in this way, Hendrix can rest in peace! Adam, do you


    understand??"


    His father-inw''s words still lingered in his mind.


    True. She was only eighteen years old this year, and there were many things that she hadn''t made


    most proper considerations. She might take her dependence on him as love.


    When she should graduate from university and enters the society, there would be countless


    possibilities and various kinds of people in her life. She will realize that it''s a mistake...


    The emotions at the bottom of Adam''s eyes slowly dissipated and gradually returned to silence.


    His heart also sank into the abysm of silence.


    His phone received a message. Adam picked it up and the content of the message was very short,


    "I want to go back!"


    It was 9 a.m in the morning the next day in the airport lobby.


    Just like when she got on the train, Anthea was holding a backpack in her arms.


    Without extra luggage, she hade in a hurry with impetus and unreserved courage to love. But


    at the moment, the reality had broken her heart and she could only retreat under insurmountable


    difficulties.


    In the morning, Adam came to pick her up, helped her to check out from hotel and had a silent


    breakfast with her, and then sent her to the airport.


    Anthea didn''t say a word, as if her vitality had been taken away.


    The saying "impulsion was the devil" was correct.


    When she came, she traveled a thousand miles in two days and two nights. Going back, it took her


    only four hours by ne. In the end, it was nothing but her hallucination.


    Anthea looked at Adam, who was in military uniform. He had handsome facial features and his


    shoulders were dropped and broad. He had a narrow waist and long legs, and he had an imposing


    manner as well as the majesty of a soldier.


    Now that he had finally sent her away as he had wished.


    Anthea didn''t want toe to Francis all her life...


    She blinked her eyes and hid the tear in her eyes.


    The radio began to urge the passengers for security check. After suooressing all the sobs in her


    throat, Anthea said, "Uncle Adam!"


    "Yes." Adam answered indifferently.


    "Don''t worry. I won''t tell on you when I go back. I won''t mention anything about you and Aunt Mira!"


    Anthea''s voice was soft and trembling.


    After all, she was a member of the Hsu family.


    Perhaps the reason why Adam never mentioned Mira before was that he had to take the Hsu family


    into concern.

    Aunt Rory Hsu had died more than two years ago. Anthea knew that Adam was a normal man, so it


    was normal for him to find new love.


    "The other thing is that-"


    Anthea looked down at her toes, "I''m sorry. I''ve caused trouble in the past three days!"


    Adam stood there in silence.


    Anthea sunk her nails deeply into her palm and pinched out a pale white color, "Uncle Adam, you''re


    right. I''m an adult now. I should know what to do and what not to do!"


    "I''m grateful that before I go too far, you had made me realize how naive I was!"


    "I hope you can forget what happened in the hospital and in the hotel. I will never overestimate


    myself again, and I will remember that you are my uncle-iw. I will never have the thoughts that I


    shouldn''t have, and I will never bother you again..."


    Anthea finished all these in one breath. She didn''t pause.


    She was afraid that she would burst into tears if she paused.


    Anthea''s back was stiff. She lifted up the corners of his lips forcefully, revealing a strange


    expression.


    "Please rest assured!"


    Adam noticed that she used the word "Please".


    This was what he wanted, but when the time truly came, he felt suffocated.


    "I''m going through the security check!" Anthea held the backpack in her hand tightly and waved to


    him. "Goodbye, Uncle Adam!"


    Emotions welled up in the depths of his ck eyes, but they quickly faded away. Everything had


    returned to indifference.


    Adam said in a low voice, "Goodbye."


    Anthea turned around and walked to the security checkpoint step by step.


    She did not shed a tear in front of him, and she had been holding it back. When she sat on the


    bench in the waiting room, her tears finally burst out like a flood flowing out of the dam.


    A kind-hearted auntie saw her and quickly handed her a tissue, "Oh, little girl, are you okay? Don''t


    cry!"


    Anthea was still crying. She cried so much that she couldn''t stop herself from crying.


    Because her love was gone.


    It had wilted even before it could blossom.


    The ne passed through the blue sky, leaving a long trail behind.


    In front of the ck Hummer in the parking lot, Adam stood in the wind with that pair of military


    boots on foot. He looked up at the sky with his eyes narrowed.


    Carter Laux, who was standing aside, hesitantly stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Captain


    Chin, shall we depart?"


    "Yes." Adam nodded.


    Carter was transferred here with Adam.


    Before he left, he put on airs in the army. He said that he was the right-handed man of Captain


    Adam. Moreover, he knew Adam''s temperament better than anyone else after being with him for so


    many years.


    At this moment, he could sense the anomaly of Adam.


    Although Adam looked indifferent and he was as serious as usual, it could be felt from the


    atmosphere round him that he was not happy.


    Hummer run wildly on the airport highway. With a brake, Carter leaned forward due to inertia. So he


    silently grabbed the armrest above his head.


    To be in Captain Adam''s apany was tantamount to living with a tiger.


    Adam gave full y to the performance of the Hummer. He had passed the toll station in less than


    30 minutes. Originally, it would take an hour to get to the station from the airport. The cars in the


    urban area was like nothing for him.


    Suddenly, he stepped on the brake pedal.


    The Hummer suddenly stopped by the road, and the tires made traces on the ground. All the people


    in the supermarket next to them looked over.


    Carter, who had been praying all the way, asked in a trembling voice, "Captain Chin?"


    Adam''s Adam''s apple bobbed, "Help me buy a few more instant noodles."


    Carter was stunned for a moment, but when he noticed Adam''s sharp gaze, he immediately


    answered, "Yes..."
