Chapter 1299


    Adam leaned against the wall. He was tall and strong. His years of military career made him a man


    with ramrod posture.


    The profile of his chiseled face was handsome. He had a prominent nose and a sharp jaw. He was


    so outstandingly masculine that he tended to attract women''s attention wherever he went.


    Amelie just could not shift her eyes from him.


    In the past six years, she had been trying so hard to win his affections.


    The olddy certainly knew her feelings from her intense gaze. She sighed and said, "In the army,


    Brock thinks most highly of Adam, and I really like you! Everyone thinks that you two will make a


    great couple. I had discussed with him, and we decided to give your a vacation to get married. But


    Brock suddenly fell ill..."


    Hearing this, Amelie kept herposure, though she was ravished with joy.


    She achieved this step by step.


    Amelie pretended to be very considerate and said, "Godmother, we are not in a hurry. The health of


    my godfather is the most important thing now!"


    The olddy raised her head again and looked to the operating room.


    "Don''t worry too much!" Amelieforted her. After a brief pause, she changed the topic. "s, I''m


    just afraid that Miss Lee is so young that she may act on impulse sometimes!"


    "Compared with these military doctors, she was much less experienced. Yet, she still stubbornly


    insisted on performing the operation. I’m really afraid that anything bad will happen during the


    operation. What should we do then-”


    Just as Amelie finished speaking, the eyes of the olddy’s turned even redder, and her face


    became more gloomy.


    Looking at the closed operating room door, Amelie squinted.


    She firmly believed in her heart that Anthea would not be seeded in doing this surgery.


    She was waiting to see Antheae out of the operating room and announce the failure of her


    operation. At that time, how could she deal with the chief''s wife and other military doctors?


    The death of the chief during the operation would ruin her reputation as a doctor. Insides, the


    madam would not let her go easily. At that time, how could she continue to be a doctor? It would be


    best if she could not stay in Ice city any longer and had to


    escape abroad!


    Amelie could hardly wait to see that!


    The hours dragged on. Finally the sky outside darkened.


    When the neon lights shrouded the whole city, the door of the operating room finally opened.


    Anthea came out in a green surgical gown, drenched to the skin. Even her back was wet all over.


    She took off her hat and mask, revealing her tired face.


    Her elfin little face was not as bright as before, and she walked weakly.


    When Amelie saw her in low spirits, she guessed that she must have failed the surgery, and a smile


    shed across the depths of her eyes.


    Everyone in the corridor looked at her, but they were too nervous to ask the result.


    Anthea gasped and said, "The operation is sessful!"


    "What?!" Amelie''s expression changed rapidly.


    She lost control of her emotions, and her voice was a bit sharp.


    Fortunately, everyone around was shocked by the sess of the operation, and no one noticed her


    aberrant behavior.


    The operation was actually sessful?!


    A wave of nausea swept over Amelie.


    But none of the military doctors dared to perform the surgery. Was Anthea really so powerful?


    The old madam staggered forward. She looked surprised, perturbed, and still full of disbelief. In a


    hoarse voice, she asked again, word by word, "Did you say the operation was sessful?"


    "Yes, Madam!" Anthea nodded and added, "I''ve cut out the tumor. The operation is sessful. The


    patient will be transferred to ICU. As long as he wakes up after the following high-risk 24 hours, he’ll


    be all right!"


    Amelie''s voice returned to normal as she continued trying to set her up. "What if he won''t wake up?"


    When the olddy heard this, her joyful face was instantly covered with ayer of sadness.


    Anthea frowned, feeling a little speechless.


    She looked up at Amelie and said in a clear voice, "I believe he will wake up!"


    At this time, the door behind them was opened, and the old chief lying on the bed wearing an


    oxygen mask was pushed out by the nurses.


    The military doctors and the olddy instantly came forward and escorted him to ICU.


    Amelie looked at them with her hands clenched.


    Overwhelmed by jealousy, she gritted her teeth in hatred, but still, she caught up with them.


    Then, only two people remained in the corridor.


    They looked at each other from a few steps away.


    Anthea gently caught the cuffs of her surgical gown. "Adam, thank you..."


    Thank you very much.


    When no one trust her, he chose to believe in her!


    The lights poured down from above and fell on Adam''s deep-set dark eyes. His sparkling eyes, he


    said in a deep and low voice, "Anthea, I knew you could make it."


    Anthea''s heart felt rippled surging, and she said, "I''ll go to see the old chief first!"


    "Yes." Adam nodded.


    She walked past him.


    With a slight spasm in her stomach, she subconsciously raised her hand to cover it, then trotted to


    catch up with the others.


    Adam did not follow them. As the slender figure disappeared at the corner of the corridor, he turned


    around and went in the opposite direction.


    The old chief was sent to ICU. Only after settling him down did Antheae out.


    There was an office for rest next to her. She leaned against the wall and slowly squatted down as


    soon as she entered it.


    A nurse came forward and asked her in a hurry, "Doctor Lee, are you all right?"


    Anthea smiled with a little embarrassment. "I''m fine. I''m just hungry!"


    Since the operation began in the afternoon, she had not even had the time to drink a mouthful of


    water.


    The operation for the old chief was veryplicated, and he might encounter various dangerous


    situations. Thus, she dared not ck off for a second.


    After she stood beside the operating table for nearly five hours, even her legs began to tremble


    when she came out from the operation room, but she managed to stand still until now!


    Hearing this, the nurse hurriedly said, "Doctor Lee, please hold on for a moment. When the


    operation was over, I saw that a few guards had gone out to buy food for us. They’ll be back soon!"


    Not long after she finished speaking, the guards came in with meals.


    Anthea was the chief surgeon, and there had been many doctors and nurses working together with


    her for hours without rest.


    Therefore, she stood up and said, "Thanks for your hard work. Let''s eat together!"

    The guards bought a lot of takeaways and were offering the meals and tableware.


    Anthea pulled out a chair and sat down.


    After opening the meal box, she was surprised.


    Anthea looked around and found that the meals of others were different. There were fried noodles,


    some rice and vegetables, and noodles with bean sauce. But her meal was...


    Fried dumplings.


    In her disposable meal box were fried dumplings, golden and crispy. They were arranged in an


    orderly row, with chopped green onions above, which smelled quite fragrant.


    Anthea only took a bite and knew that it was not takeout food.


    The nurse before asked in confusion, "Doctor Lee, what''s wrong?"


    "It''s okay. Nothing serious." Anthea shook her head.


    She swallowed the fried dumpling in her mouth and ate several more before she looked up with


    tears in her eyes. "It''s just these dumplings are so delicious..."
