Chapter 1267


    It was the private hospital Anthea worked in. And it was the morning.


    Carter, who was wearing a hospital gown,y on the hospital bed as usual. He looked quite listless.


    On the third day after the surgery for gastric perforation, he was able to walk now, but he could only


    eat liquid, which made him really ufortable.


    At this time, someone knocked on the door of the ward, and a petite figure came in.


    Carter thought that it was his wife, Kaylee. He smiled brightly as a blooming flower. When he saw


    the person who hade in, he immediately put away his smile.


    A female soldier with short hair came in with a fruit basket in her hand.


    Carter''s tone was not very warm, "What''s the matter?"


    The female soldier walked to the bedside and said with a smile, "Carter, I''m entrusted by Amelie to


    come visit you! She urged me again and again to buy this fruit basket for you!"


    The woman was on good terms with Amelie


    Celestin. To be exact, she was a sidekick of Amelie.


    Carter says coldly: "Oh, then you can put it there!"


    The female soldier stood up for Amelie "Actually, Amelie wanted toe see you by herself. But


    she''s been too busytely, so she asked me to give her a favour! She wants you to rest well!"


    "Okay, got it." Carter put on a false smile.


    "Then I''ll put the fruit basket here. We hope you can recover as soon as possible!" The female


    soldier said.


    Carter nced at the fruit basket and snorted in his heart.


    It was obvious that the fruit basket cost a lot. All the fruit was imported. However, cost didn''t equal to


    sincere concern.


    He had finished the operation and would be discharged in a few days!


    Amelie Celestin was just making fashion.


    Since Anthea broke up with Adam six years ago, Amelie had be active.


    The Chin Family preferred Amelie to be their daughter-inw. In the army, many people regarded


    the two of them as a golden couple.


    Carter secretly curled his lips.


    He knew that if it weren''t for his boss Adam Chin, the proud Amelie would not even give him a


    nce.


    If Amelie knew that Adam came to the hospital every day, she would havee in flesh.


    Carter looked at the fruit basket in disdain. He was going to give it all to the nurses who were


    working hard!


    He only had one sister-inw! Amelie could just forget about Adam!


    Carterid down the pillow, closed his eyes and said, "I''m sleepy and I''m going to sleep. Make


    yourself at home!"


    The female soldier was just following Amelie''s order. She had long wanted to get away after the


    mission had beenpleted. When she heard this, sheughed and said, "Then take a good rest,


    Carter. I won''t disturb you anymore. I''ll go back first!"


    Anthea had been busy since she came to the hospital this morning.


    She wore a white coat with a green surgical gown inside.


    After making round of the wards, she went on two operations, one major and one minor. It was


    nothing to her, but she got upte in the morning and didn''t eat anything. She was so hungry that


    she felt dizzy.


    Anthea took out a piece of candy from her pocket. Just as she was about to open the package and


    put it into her mouth, someone suddenly ran into her.


    Candy fell to the ground.


    "Don''te near me, don''te near me!"


    Suddenly, a sharp cry was heard.


    After being hit, Anthea was hit to the wall.


    She turned around and saw a middle-aged woman in hospital gown. She was holding a bottle of


    liquid and shouting, "I''ve got sulfuric acid in my hand. I''ll throw it at whoeveres near!"


    Everyone screamed in fear at the sound of sulfuric acid.


    The patients and nurses in the corridor were all in a panic.


    Two security guards arrived very quickly and had already surrounded her, "Lady, please calm


    down!"? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Anthea had just been hit by the middle-aged woman, so she were also one of the closest to the


    woman. She helped the security guard to persuade, "We can talk. And we can help you if you tell us


    your difficulties!"


    "No one can help me. None of you can help me..." The middle-aged woman murmured and shook


    her head, her eyes was red.


    The security guard tried toe forward and control her. The middle-aged woman suddenly looked


    ferocious and waved the bottle in her hand, "I don''t want to live anymore. I will perish together with


    you!"


    The bottle was very close to Anthea.


    Anthea was frozen to the ground. She was in the corner of wall, a dead end, and could not dodge.


    It was sulfuric acid...


    Seeing the bottleing to her, Anthea held her head in panic.


    At the critical moment, a green figure sprang out.


    Adam jumped up at a very fast speed. He kicked the wrist of the middle-aged woman, fiercely and


    urately. The bottle fell to the ground and spilled the liquid inside.


    Screams broke out all around.


    Afternding, Adam held Anthea in his arms.


    His tall and strong body could shelter her from all the wind and rain.


    After taking the kick from Adam, the middle-aged woman fell to the ground and was easily subdued


    by the security guards. She could only cry.


    The security guard checked the bottle and signed with relief, "It''s chili water, not sulfuric acid!"


    A nurse went forward and said, "This is a patient in room 201. She got a kidney stone and was


    hospitalized two days ago, but she was diagnosed with cancer. She couldn''t ept it. After knowing


    it, her husband ran away with other woman. She took things too hard and she did this to vent her


    anger! But in fact, she just wants to live!"


    Hearing this, Anthea couldn''t help but sigh.


    Another poor woman.


    At this time, she was still in the corner and in front of her was the strong chest.


    Anthea could feel his body temperature and his heartbeat, which somehow stabilized and warmed


    up her stiff body.


    Adam saw her pale face and stroked her back with his palm, "Don''t be afraid, Anthea. It''s okay."


    "Yes..." Anthea nodded.


    She was really frightened just now!


    She was so hungry that she felt dizzy and she was not as agile as usual. So she failed to run away


    in time.


    If it was really sulfuric acid, she would be disfigured directly!


    Fear still lingered in her heart.


    Anthea curled up her fingers that had been cold due to fear.


    In her sight was his military shirt, the button on his cor unbuttoned. At a very close distance, she


    could see his corbones, and it was as if her breathing were caressing them.


    She was still in his embrace.


    Did she still cling to the warmth of the moment in his arms?


    Her cell phone rang. Anthea suddenly came to her sense and pushed him away hurriedly.


    She nced at the her phone and said, "Thank you, Uncle Adam." Then, she calmly picked up the


    phone. "Hello, Victor..."


    After nodding to Adam, she went away while answering the phone.


    After the chaos ended, the middle-aged woman was taken away by the security guards, and the


    others were also dispersed. The cleaner came up and cleaned up the ground.


    From the elevator not far away, someone looked at them in shock.


    This person was none other than the female soldier who walked out of Carter hospital ward.


    The female soldier was waiting for the elevator. Suddenly, she heard the noise and watched the


    chaos with curiosity. Then she saw the terrifying Hell-king Chin holding a woman in his arms with


    gentleness all over his face...


    The female soldier couldn''t believe it.


    After seeing the two of them separate, the female soldier also hurriedly ran away.
