The expression on Carter's face was a bit funny, and he complained bitterly, "Oh, please, Captain Chin, are you going to leave me so heartlessly?"
Adam remained unmoved and said, "Yeah."
Under the threat of Adam's eyes, Carter could only moan in his heart that his boss was a ruthless man. Then he got out of the car sheepishly and stood on the roadside to stop a taxi.
Adam didn't even raise his eyebrows and directly drove away.
Adam had spent most of his time in the army, so he rarely came back and did not have much chance to spend time with his family. The task of catching deserters this time was not so difficult, so he had a relatively leisure time in the Ice city.
He first went back to the Chin's Mansion to have lunch with his mother and then went back to the family building in the military region.
When it was just dawn the next day, he left for the airport. Now it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. She should have left.
After entering the code and opening the anti-theft door, he saw the women's sneakers on the ground.
He was stunned.
"She hasn't left yet?" He wondered.
Although it was Sunday, Anthea was burdened with study in senior high school. She should still have classes the whole morning. Adam frowned and walked in. The door of the guest room was open, with no one inside. But there was a faint sound coming from the washroom outside.
He raised his hand and knocked on the glass door, and then the door was opened.
Anthea stood inside with her body hunched over. Her hair was dishevelled and her face was unusually pale. Beads of sweat rolled down from her forehead and sideburns. Her pale lips were trembling.
"Uncle?"
She took a long time to make a sound.
In the morning, she thought it was just a stomachache, but sitting on the toilet for more than an hour didn't work. When she wanted to stand up, she felt weak and curled up all over. She didn't know how much time had passed. When she just heard the footsteps, she almost exhausted all her strength to get up.
Adam hurriedly held her up and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Anthea covered the lower abdomen on the right side and said in a trembling voice, "I'm in so much pain..."
She wanted to answer more, but all of a sudden, darkness came over her eyes, and then she fell into a sturdy and warm embrace.
Adam held her in his arms and then drove directly to the hospital to get in the emergency room.
After the doctor quickly finished the examination, he came out with a list and shouted, "Are you the patient's family?"
"Yes, I am." Adam answered in the corridor and came forward.
When the doctor saw that he was wearing military uniform, he seemed to be stunned, especially when he felt the dominating aura from him. He looked back at the emergency room and asked, "Is the patient your girlfriend?"
"..." Adam was stunned.
In the short span of two days, it was the second time that he had been mistaken for Anthea’s boyfriend.
His black eyes looked inside at the young girl who had already woken up and was covered in cold sweat because of the pain. His Adam's apple moved slightly.
"She has acute appendicitis and needs surgery immediately!" The doctor did not wait for him to answer and quickly said, "You are going to sign the Surgery Consent Form now, and then take the medical card and the receipt to pay the fee. The patient is about to be pushed into the operating room!"
Knowing that the situation was urgent, Adam took the pen and signed on it at once.
After he paid the fee, Anthea had already been changed into a surgical suit. With an intravenous drip in the back of her hand, she was pushed to the operating room by the nurse.
