Chapter 1325
It was toote for the two of them to turn around.
Anthea could only step forward and greet the old chief cadre''s wife.
The old chief cadre''s wife smiled warmly and grabbed Anthea''s hand affectionately. "It''s okay... Just
now, Brock was still asking if the two of you have arrived. He was afraid that Anthea might decide
not toe here!"
"Of course I''lle here! Thank you, Madam!" Anthea smiled.
The old chief cadre''s wife said thoughtfully, "The banquet tonight is held mainly for expressing our
gratitude to you. Anthea, don''t be stressed out. Just have fun here. You can enjoy yourself
thoroughlyter! I''m also delighted that you''re here with Adam!"
When she saw that Anthea and Adam were holding each other''s hands, she understood the
affection between them.
Anthea was a little shy. "Hmm!"
Her long eyshes were drooping, making her seem a little absent-minded.
However, she was still worried about why her little uncle, Jayden Hsu, suddenly appeared at the
banquet.
Anthea''s eyes were a little hesitating. The corners of her lips moved slightly. She was still
considering whether they should find a suitable excuse to leave the banquet early.
Adam held Anthea''s little hand tightly.
Looking calm, he said with a faint smile, "Anthea, you go to the living room with Ms. Weil. I have
something to talk to Mr. Weil."
Anthea nodded. "Okay..."
She then entered the vi, holding the hand of the old chief cadre''s wife.
The banquet was held in a side hall. It was not an extravagant one, but it still had attracted a great
many guests.
Not long afterwards, Adam and the old chief cadre, Brock Weil, entered the banquet hall.
The old chief cadre had just recovered from a serious illness. However, he was in a very good state
of spirit now. He was wearing a military uniform and his footsteps seemed to be firm and energetic.
He looked very different from not long ago when he was hospitalized.
Seeing that her patient had recovered well, Anthea felt sincerely happy about it.
Adam went straight to Anthea''s side and held her
hand again.
The old chief cadre and his wife looked over with smiles at the same time. Anthea became even
shyer, and her delicate face was red.
The old chief cadre and his wife were the masters and at the same time the focus of attention in the
banquet. It was naturally easier for Anthea and Adam to be noticed by more guests if they were
quite close to the old couple.
In addition, the two of them were good-looking. When they stood side by side, they were envied by
everyone.
There were some gossips among the guests.
"I heard that Mr. Weil''s disease was cured by Miss Anthea Lee... She was over there. The other
doctors dared not operate on the old chief, but Miss Lee had the courage to do so! Besides,
although she looks so young, and she is already a director. It is said that the banquet tonight is held
for her!"
"She seems to have a close rtionship with Captain Chin. They should be two lovers, right?"
"By the way! I still remember that Captain Chin seemed to have a little girlfriend in the past. When
his girlfriend came to the army to visit him, it caused quite a sensation! At that time, she was a
medical student... Is this Doctor Lee the little girlfriend of Captain Chin many years ago?"
"I think she is! But isn''t there news about Captain Chin and Amelie Celestin being together in the
army all these years?"
"That''s just a rumor. Captain Chin actually has no interest in Amelie at all. I''ve never seen them do
anything intimate! Look at what''s happening now. Since Captain Chin appeared, he has been
holding that girl''s hand, and his eyes were firmly fixed on her!

"Besides, Amelie is much older than this Miss Lee. If I wear Captain Chin, I''ll definitely pick up the
younger and more beautiful..." One of the guests enjoyed himself by gossiping with others.
At the end of his words, he suddenly felt the chilly aura from somebody and immediately fell silent.
He stood up straight and said awkwardly, "Ahem... Nice to meet you here... Major Celestin!"
Amelie walked past him and hispanions with a livid face and without saying a word.
After Amelie left, the man and hispanions looked at each other and rubbed their arms
nervously. Then, they ran away in disgrace.
Amelie walked straight to the center of the banquet hall. When she stopped, her face was full of
smiles. "Daddy, Mummy!" The old chief cadre and his wife were indeed Amerlie''s Godfather and
Godmother.
"Amelie,e over here!" The old chief cadre''s wife greeted her with a smile. "I heard you caught a
cold recently. I wanted you to have a good rest at home!"
Amelie shook her head. "I''m fine now. Just an injection is enough!"
The old chief cadre''s wife looked at Anthea and Adam who were standing next to her and hesitated.
She seemed to be wondering how to speak.
"Amelie... Anthea and Adam..."
Before her husband received the operation, she originally had nned to help her Goddaughter get
married.
Butter, she learned from her husband that Adam liked Anthea the most. As the two of them loved
each other so deeply, while Anthea had saved her husband''s life, the old chief cadre''s wife was
grateful to Anthea, and she and liked this nice girl very much now. After all, there was no way to
force Adam to fall in love with Amelie...
"Mom, don''t worry. I''ve put it down!" Amelie interrupted her. Then, she looked at Anthea and Adam
with a smile, looking very casual and lighthearted. "Adam, Miss Lee, I wish you two the best!"
Adam replied calmly, "Thank you."
Anthea pursed her lips and said,"... Thanks!"
The old chief cadre''s wife looked at Amelie worriedly. However, when she saw the generous smile
on Amelie''s face, which suggested that Amelie was sincerely blessing Anthea and Adam, she was
finally relieved.
The old chief cadre''s wife then turned to her husband and said, "Brock, almost everyone is here.
Let''s begin the banquet!"
"Okay!" The old chief cadre nodded.
He took his wife''s hand, and the two of them went to the podium together.
As the host, the old chief cadre stood in front of the microphone and made the opening speech.
After the opening remarks, he paused for a moment and said loudly through the microphone,
"Also... Tonight''s banquet is not just to celebrate my recovery from the illness. More precisely, I want
to thank my doctor. She is Miss Anthea Lee!"
Anthea was then invited up the podium.
As the goal of the banquet was to thank her, Anthea naturally be the focus of attention.
Adam apanied her to the podium. A tall and strong figure thus stood on one side of the
podium. His dark eyes looked at the little girl not far away. The reflection of bright lights in his eyes
made this military officer looked tender and doting.
The audience in the banquet hall burst into apuse.
It was a great contribution to be able to cure the disease of the old chief cadre, who was a very
important figure in the army!
The guests who came to the banquet all knew that this banquet was more like amendation for
Anthea Lee the doctor.
Anthea felt a little embarrassed. Her cheeks blushed, which made her look more charming and
lovely. "I just did what a doctor should do. I have been doing my duty since I was admitted into the
medical college!
"And it was indeed an honor for me to do the operation for Mr. Weil. Everyone here is special in the
field he/she works in, and I can learn a lot from them!"
Anthea''sst words made the guests feelfortable, and the guests apuded.
Among the crowd, Amelie was also apuding and smiling.
However, an air of gloominess could vaguely be noticed in her features. Her eye expressions were
unnatural and malicious.
Amelie looked at Anthea hatefully, who was standing on the podium happily as if thetter was her
sworn enemy. Anthea was wearing a long and white chiffon skirt, revealing two arms as tender as
lotus roots. Her long hair fell down to her shoulders like a waterfall, and themplights shed on her
hair, which made her look more delicate and charming.
Two small dimples appeared on her face, and her smile was just like breeze in the spring. She was
now receiving everyone''s praise.
Amelie thought, "Be happy now! And be cryingter!"
