Chapter 1256


    Adam was still on his mission.


    Master Hsu suddenly passed away. For such a big thing, Bemy contacted him and told him


    through various means. As the son-inw of the Hsu family, he must attend in order not to be


    criticized by others.


    His superior permitted a leave, so Adam came back in a hurry.


    Along the way, he was very worried about Anthea.


    Anthea was different from the others in the Hsu family. Only Master Hsu was her family.


    Such a sudden change must have made her very sad and helpless, and she must need him very


    much. Adam wanted toe back to her as soon as possible to shelter her from the wind and rain,


    and to give her the power to calm down.


    Among all people in ck, Adam''s ck eyes finally fixed on her.


    Just as he had expected, her face was pale and her eyes were red. She was trying hard to hold


    back her tears.


    She was much thinner!


    It had only been half a month since he left, but she was so thin. Her chin was so sharp and her


    cheeks seemed to be concave. Standing in the middle of the crowd, she seemed to be able to fall


    down by a gust of wind.


    Adam''s heart was about to break.


    When he walked to the front of the tombstone and saw Emerson standing beside her, Adam was


    surprised and frowned slightly.


    The funeral was held in an orderly manner.


    Adam, who had just arrived, strode forward under the guidance of the staff and mourned the dead


    for thest time.


    Madam Jiles was supported by her parents'' family. After her husband''s sudden death, she was so


    sad that she could not utter aplete sentence.


    Jayden, who was next to her, greeted Adam, but his tone was a little bit different than usual.


    Adam did not notice it. All his attention was on Anthea.


    He really wanted to go forward and hold her in his arms, but there were too many people here, so


    he could only endure it for the time being.


    Half an hourter, the funeral was over.


    The people attending the funeral left one after another. Anthea was thest to leave the hill.


    Looking at Master Hsu''s smiling picture on the tombstone, she remembered the way he held her


    hands in a pool of blood. At that time, the skin of his hands was bby, like the skin of an old tree...


    The army green jeep pulled up.


    Seeing her walking down the mountain path, Adam put off the cigarette and strode toward her.


    Emerson saw Adam and left. "Little girl, I''ll go first!"


    "OK, thanks again." Anthea nodded, feeling very grateful.


    When the child was lost, thanks to Emerson''spany, she was not that miserable.


    After the two men nodded to each other, Emerson left.


    Only the two of them were left. They no longer had to worry about others. Adam went forward and


    held her in his arms.


    Adam didn''t dare to exert too much strength because he was afraid that it would hurt her slim body.


    Anthea finally felt the long-lost embrace.


    From the moment when Master Hsu had an ident, she had been in a state of extreme panic.


    She really wanted him to stay with her and used his broad shoulders to support her and protect her.


    "Adam..." Anthea choked with sobs.


    Almost at the same time when she called him, her tears gushed out silently.


    Adam felt that his clothes were wet with tears, and his heart was aching.


    With his hand on her back, he said in a hoarse voice, "I immediately came back after receiving the


    news that my father-inw passed away. Anthea, I know that you are sad, but people can''te


    back after death. You should look forward. You still have me! I will always be with you!"


    There were people who died of car ident almost every minute in the world. The probability of


    death in a car ident was high.

    Life was very fragile. When Adam learned that Master Hsu had passed away in an ident and the


    driver of the ident had not yet been caught, he felt very sorry and sad.


    Perhaps he did not have much feelings for the other members of the Hsu family, but Master Hsu


    had always treated him well and treated him like his biological son. He did not have much feelings


    for his dead wife, but he respected and loved this father-inw very much.


    When Anthea heard hisst sentence, even more tears flowed out.


    Thinking about grandfather and the child, She was ovee with sorrow.


    Anthea nestled in his arms like a little baby cat, but was not as energetic as before. It was as if she


    had wandered on the streets for a long time and suffered all the hardships in the world.


    Adam thought that she was so sad because of Master Hsu''s sudden death, so he hugged her


    lovingly and coaxed her again and again.


    After leaving the cemetery, they returned home.


    Anthea cried so sadly that she had no strength. Adam carried her all the way from the underground


    parking to the house.


    Adam hugged her on the sofa like he was holding a child, not letting go of her. He knew that words


    offort were useless to her and he could only stay with her like this.


    Anthea cried twice again, silently.


    Adam kissed her tears over and over again.


    Her eyes were swollen, which made him feel distressed.


    Looking at the sky outside the window, Adam found that the sun was already setting in the west.


    Time passed quickly. He frowned and said, "The mission hasn''t beenpleted yet. The superior


    made an exception and allowed me toe back. I only have


    30 hours. I have to go back tomorrow morning." "I see..." Anthea nodded.


    Adam sighed deeply and said apologetically, "I''m sorry, Anthea."


    At a time like this, she needed him the most.


    Adam came back in a hurry, and after a short stay, he had to leave in a hurry. But there was no


    other way. He was a soldier. Once he wore this military uniform, he would bear responsibilities and


    missions. The military orders could not be vited, and the task was rted to the country and its


    people.


    As a soldier, he waspetent, but as her man, he was unqualified.


    Anthea lowered her head, and Adam couldn''t seethe look inside her eyes. Her voice was very weak


    after crying. "It doesn''t matter. I''m fine! Your work is more important!"


    "I''m sorry to make you go through all this." Adam kissed her head, gently and pitifully.


    Anthea didn''t say anything, but she shook her head hard.


    Looking at her curling up in his arms, he held her on hisp and gently discussed with her, "Anthea,


    are you hungry? Let''s eat something?"


    She really did lose a lot of weight.


    When Adam carried her upstairs, he felt that she was as light as a feather without any flesh. There


    were dark circles under her eyes, as if she had not slept for several nights. She was not as rosy as


    before.


    Anthea had no appetite. She had been struggling for the past few days, and her stomach seemed to


    have been stuffed with a huge stone.


    But she said, "I want to eat fried dumplings, the kind that you often make for me!"


    "Alright." Adam nodded.


    He reluctantly put her on the sofa, warmed a ss of milk for her, and then went into the kitchen.


    "Wait for me, I''ll get it right away."


    Every time Adam left, he was afraid that she would starve, so he always filled the refrigerator with


    food before leaving.


    There were frozen dumplings in the freezer. It was very convenient to cook them.


    Anthea crossed her arms around her legs and her chin feebly pressed against them. She looked at


    the tall figure busy in the kitchen with greedy eyes.


    She looked at him without blinking eyes, as if she wanted to engrave him in her heart.
