Chapter 1264


    After Carter stood up, Anthea would have to bow slightly.


    Adam was really standing too close


    Without raising her head, Adam''s breath still lingered in her nose.


    She acted professional.


    She ced the echoscope on Carter''s body. After listening for a long while, she didn''t find anything


    unusual. She then reached out her hand and tapped on Carter''s stomach, "Brother Carter, does it


    hurt here?"


    "It hurts a little!" Carter hummed.


    "What about here?" Anthea looked serious and tapped another part of his stomach.


    "It also hurts a little!" Carter continued humming.


    After answering her, he would wink at her.


    Adam was expressionless.


    Anthea bent over and checked carefully again. She didn''t find anything unusual. It did not make


    sense. When she was considering whether she should ask Carter to go through further examination


    with more precise instruments, Carter suddenly said, "Anthea, it doesn''t hurt now!" "It doesn''t hurt


    anymore?" Anthea was surprised at the randomness of the pain.


    Carter nodded and said in a low voice, "Oh! I know. Could it be the spicy strip I ate this morning that


    caused the stomachache?"


    Anthea was speechless.


    She sighed helplessly and said with a frown, "Brother Carter, your stomach is very fragile now, so


    you need to pay special attention to your diet!"


    "I know, I know!" Carter grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, "Hehe, I''m too greedy to keep from


    eating that. The medicine you prescribed for me yesterday is still there. I''ll take some pillster!"


    Anthea touched her forehead tiredly, "I''ll arrange an operation for you tomorrow afternoon!"


    "Okay! Thank you. Anthea!" Carter smiled.


    After making sure he was fine, Anthea breathed a sigh of relief.


    She put away the echoscope and was ready to stand straight.


    She suddenly stumbled.


    She had maintained the stance of stooping for a long time. Also, She wanted to keep her distance


    from Adam that she had been straining her body.


    Her legs were numb that she did not stand firm and fell back.


    Anthea''s first reaction was to grab the bedside cab next to her, but someone was faster than


    her.


    Adam had put his long arms around her waist.


    Held by the tall figure, Anthea looked up and ran into his dark eyes.


    Her breathing instantly became disordered.


    His palm was pressed against her lower back. With the white cloak between them, she could feel


    the roughness of his hand.


    Carter sat down on the hospital bed, shaking his legs and looking up at the suspended ceiling. On


    his face was an expression that said, "I''m air, you guys continue."


    Adam kept the pose.


    Anthea struggled, "I have stood firm, thank you!"


    It was only then that Adam took his hand back.


    Anthea put her hands into the white coat pocket and curled up. She calmly said, "Brother Carter,


    call me when you feel ufortable. I have a patient waiting for me. I''ll go to work then!"


    After she left the ward, Adam followed her.


    Hearing the footsteps behind her, Anthea frowned and turned back, "What''s the business?" "I was


    hoping to know more about Carter''s surgery." Adam said.


    Anthea could find no more excuses to avoid him, so she exined seriously, "The serious part of


    gastric perforation is that the gastric juice will flow into the abdominal cavum, causing chemical or


    fungous peritonitis, which will be very dangerous!


    "But fortunately, Brother Carter''s was chronic perforation and would not cause adhesion or atrophy."


    "So the conventional surgical treatment will do, and he will recover soon after the operation! Uncle


    Adam, you don''t have to worry!"


    Hearing thest sentence, Adam slightly narrowed his dark eyes.


    Anthea also noticed it.


    When he was at the nurse station yesterday, he also asked what she called him.


    Anthea looked directly at him and said, "I think it''s more appropriate to call you uncle! After all, we


    broke up six years ago. We have no rtion more than uncle and niece!


    "At that time, I was too young to understand anything, so I started such an absurd rtionship with


    you. I have always regretted it! It would be too impolite to call you without honorific now!" "You think


    our situation is absurd?" Adam''s pupils contracted.


    He didn''t expect her to view their past like this.


    Adam fixed his eyes on her.


    He realized that she said the words with calmness and even truly with vexation.


    After Master Hsu had passed away, Adam seldom appeared in front of the Hsu''s family. Only when


    he went paying respect in front of Master Hsu''s grave would he think of their reunion in the


    graveyard.


    She had left for six years!


    The same as that day when they parted ways, there was no emotion in her eyes. She just asked


    how was he as if she was asking a normal acquaintance.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    "How am I?" He thought in his heart.


    Being abandoned by her, how good could he be!


    "Yes!" Anthea nodded.


    A niece hook up with her uncle. If it was not absurd, what else could be?


    Anthea said, "Uncle Adam, I have a lot of things to do. I have to go now!"


    Adam watched her leave in the white coat.


    He kept a poker face because there were too many emotions in his heart.


    Adam had a cigarette in the smoking area before returning to the ward.


    Carter had already crawled back to the hospital bed. He had a carton of milk in his hand that had


    not yet put in a cast and was sipping happily.


    Seeing Adam, his eyes immediately sparkled as he pleaded for praise. "Aoooh... Captain Chin, I


    applied for my sister-inw to be my attending physician. Was it very clever to have her tricked by


    ringing the bell just now? Am I good?"


    La!


    His title of champion helper was not for nothing!


    Adam said, "officiousness."


    "Stop acting, Captain Chin!" Carter smiled, "You''ve spent so much effort to transfer me here from


    the General Hospital in the military region because you know my sister-inw is back! You don''t


    have to say, I understand!"


    Adam stood before the window. White clouds were floating in the blue sky outside.


    The window was half open and breeze blew in.


    With the breeze blowing on his face, Adam said in a deep voice, "What past is past"


    Carter remained silence.


    "Can it really go through?" Carter asked in his heart.


    He didn''t believe it!


    Captain Chin had just held the girl in his arm and was unwilling to let go. All of these could not


    escape his, Carter Laux''s, sharp eyes!


    Carter looked at the tall and strong figure in front of the window. The military sleeves were rolled up


    to the elbows, and Carter could clearly see the tightening of his muscles and the faintly bulging blue


    veins on the back of his hand.


    Adam picked up the military uniform coat on the sofa and said, "I''m going to have a meeting in the


    region this afternoon. I may be busy these two days.


    I won''te tomorrow. It''s just a minor operation. You will be fine, as a man!"


    "Don''t worry! My wife will apany me tomorrow!" Carter took the opportunity to show off the love


    between him and his wife Kaylee Yanni.


    Kaylee was also a medical staff. She was very busy at work and rarely had time during the day, but


    she woulde over to take care of him at night.


    The two of them met on a blind date and Carter fell in love with Kaylee at first sight and was even


    more obsessed with her afterwards. Although they had amon life in the past six years, there


    were no twists and turns and they were very happy.


    Adam was speechless.


    Watching him leave, Carter secretly curled his lips.


    You could be reserved to the girl at the beginning, but you will have to pay multiple times effort to


    win her heart back.
