Chapter 1263


    After finish an operation in the morning, Anthea had two more in the afternoon.


    In the evening, Anthea left the operating room exhausted ly.


    It had already passed off time. M, who was on duty, apanied her to the staff canteen for


    dinner.


    Anthea and M reached the first floor by elevator. When they were about to walk to the back door,


    Anthea suddenly saw a tall and sturdy figure ahead of them. She shrank hurriedly and leaned


    against the wall.


    Feeling confused, M asked, "Dr. Lee, are you okay?"


    "I''m fine!" Anthea shook her head and exined, "It''s just that my period came this afternoon. I feel


    a little ufortable!"

    "Take care!" M said.


    Anthea smiled and reached out her head to look around.


    Adam seemed to have finished visiting Carter and strode through the lobby of the hospital.


    Over the years abroad, Anthea graduated from Columbia University and followed Vincent to nearly


    a hundred remote countries to help in disaster areas and provide medical aid.


    With a medical kit on her back, Anthea traveled and saved many lives.


    She once went to a pandemic area where most of the patients were children. Although Anthea and


    her teammates did their best, some of the infected children had died. Fortunately, most of the


    children had recovered.


    At night, in the tent, Anthea couldn''t sleep. Looking at the starry sky, she would suddenly burst into


    tears.


    Anthea lived with a ten-year-old local ck girl, whom she had treated for a short time. The little girl


    asked her in English, "Anthea, why are you crying?"


    Anthea answered, "I just suddenly thought of someone."


    The little girl asked, "But why are you crying?"


    Anthea didn''t answer but burst into tears.


    The little girl kept asking, "Do you miss him very much?"


    Anthea answered, "I do."


    The little girl tilted her head and asked, "Can''t you go see him?"


    After pausing for a while, Anthea said in a choked voice, "I can''t..."


    With tears falling, she buried herself in her knees and let tears flow.


    Anthea opened her eyes and saw arge part of the pillow was soaked by her tears.


    She dreamed of some memory fragments of her living in other countries from three or four years


    ago. How could she cry so much?


    The apartment where Anthea lived was the staff dormitory of the hospital. ording to the


    arrangements by the hospital, she was given an individual apartment. Although it was not very


    spacious, it had all the necessary facilities and was not far from the hospital. It was convenient for


    Anthea tomute.


    Anthea got up from the bed.


    Sitting in front of the French window, Anthea took out a cigarette and a lighter from the inneryer of


    her purse.


    The pungent smell of tobo spread from Anthea''s mouth and nose, making her cough twice.


    When she smoked again, she spat out a mouthful of smoke smoothly, and the white smoke curled


    up in the air.


    Anthea learned to smoke.


    When she was in foreign countries, she could only


    ease her loneliness and sadness with nicotine.


    She didn''t enjoy smoking and didn''t smoke often. Only when she was in a bad mood would she take


    a cigarette.


    Other than bringing herfort, nicotine could also ease her nerves and calm her down.


    What happened in the past came to Anthea''s mind all at once.


    When she saw Adam smoking, she stubbornly said that she wanted to smoke. And Adam''s face


    was sullen.


    Adam took a deep drag of the cigarette and puffed it into Anthea''s mouth. She was so choked that


    her tears almost came out. Adam asked her in a serious voice that if she still wanted to smoke. She


    shook her head with grievances. And Adam pinched her nose lovingly...


    As Anthea was thinking, the memories started to flood her mind.


    Anthea tried her best to stop thinking.


    After smoking a cigarette, Anthea calmed down. There was no trace of emotion in her eyes. Then


    shey back in bed and fell asleep.


    The next day, the morning sun rose.


    Anthea returned to the second general surgery department in high spirits.


    M had changed the white coat into her clothes and was eating breakfast. Anthea saw her and


    asked with a smile, "Did you get exhaustedst night?"


    "No!" M scratched his head and said earnestly, "Director Lee, I will work hard! I will be a


    good doctor like you in the future!"


    "You will!" Anthea smiled.


    When M was about to leave with a sandwich in her mouth, she suddenly turned around and said,


    "Oh, by the way, Director Lee. The patient in room 305 was transferred to your department!"


    "What?" Anthea stopped when she opened the casebook.


    "Room 305?" Anthea mumbled.


    "Isn''t that Carter?"


    M was a little nervous when she saw Anthea was so startled, "When I was attending to Mr. Gray


    last night, he asked for it. I thought you two knew each other and seemed to have a good


    rtionship, so I decided to help him. And Dr. Mangini is pretty sick now. He didn''te to work


    today!"


    Anthea pursed her lips speechlessly.


    Seeing M looking at her nervously, Anthea waved her hand to ease M''s nerves, not wanting to


    make her feel bad.


    In less than two minutes after M left, the sounds of the bell came from the nurse station.


    Anthea nced at it and immediately raised her hand to rub her temple.


    She was a doctor. Treating patients and saving people''s life were always the priority for her. After


    taking the echometer with her, she did not dy and quickly walked to the ward.


    When opening the door of room 305, Anthea hesitated.


    She walked forward hesitantly.


    Anthea looked inside tentatively, but when she saw that only Carter was in the room, she suddenly


    breathed a sigh of relief.


    Just when she was halfway there, the bathroom door next to her was suddenly pushed open.


    Anthea held her breath.


    Adam''s tall and sturdy figure walked out of it. He was wearing a military shirt with two buttons on the


    open cor unbuttoned, which showed his corbone and wheat-colored skin.


    "Hello," Adam said.


    Anthea clenched her hands in the pockets of her white coat and nodded, "Hello!"


    Feeling the subtle atmosphere, Carter waved his hands and said, "Anthea, happy to see you!"


    Anthea walked to the hospital bed and asked with a frown, "Carter, do you feel ufortable


    anywhere?"


    When Carter heard this, he changed his happy smile into a wronged face immediately and said


    pitifully, "My stomach hurts! It hurts!"


    Looking serious, Anthea asked, "Tell me, how does it hurt?"


    Carter said bitterly, "I don''t know. It''s just ufortable! Anthea, can you take a look for me?"


    "Okay, I''ll help you now!" Anthea said.


    Carter said to her, "I didn''t feel anything when I was lying down or sitting down, but it hurts as soon


    as I stood up. Why don''t I stand up so that you can take a better look?"


    Anthea nodded and then reached out her hand, "Let me help you!"


    As soon as Carter got off from the hospital bed, he cried out, "Ow, it hurts! I can''t stand steadily!"


    Carter''s left arm was wrapped in ster. He couldn''t support his body but bent his back.


    Seeing that, Anthea hurriedly went up to help Carter but end up in a great bustle helplessly.


    When Anthea was about to call a nurse in, Carter


    quickly said, "Captain Chin, give me a hand!"


    Adam strode over and lifted Carter''s other arm to steady his body.


    Carter said, "Anthea, you can start checking!"


    Anthea said in a low voice, "Okay..."


    Adam was standing sideways with Carter on Anthea''s right side. And on Anthea''s left side, there


    was a bedside cab.


    Anthea was half surrounded.


    What was more...


    Adam was staying too close!
