Anthea looked up along the big hand and met his deep and cold black eyes.
Just when she was binding up the wounded, she felt that someone had been looking at her.
Although she did not look back, from the corner of her eyes, she could see Adam, in military uniform, leaning against the door, with a cigarette in his hand, staring at her in the smoke.
He was still handsome and had a powerful aura.
He seemed to be a little tanned and thinner. The outline of his five sense organs became deeper, and there seemed to be a scar on his neck. She did not know whether it was caused by training or not.
In this year, they had no contact with each other.
After Adam was transferred to Francis, it seemed that he only went back once. On New Year's Eve, Anthea couldn't help contacting him. But fearing to annoy him, Anthea edited the New Year's Blessing but then deleted it word by word...
She forced herself not to disturb him.
The rain was still falling. Adam's fingertips were very cold, but when it covered the back of her hand, the temperature suddenly rose, scalding her skin as if she was burned by the cigarette held by another hand of his.
Anthea's heart trembled.
He placed his palm on the back of her hand, which reminded her of a year ago.
In the hotel room, his hand was also covering hers in the same way. The picture at that time flashed though her mind, and then she remembered her later embarrassment as well. He felt like he had been poured by a bowl of cold water from head to toe.
She hid all the feelings that welled up in her heart and tried not to let it show up again.
Anthea's eyelashes trembled, and she struggled, "Uncle Adam."
"Yes." Adam slowly loosened his big hand.
There was a brief silence.
Adam tossed the cigarette to the ground and stamped on it. He was a little surprised to see her here and asked, "Anthea, you really are studying medicine?"
He stayed for a long time to see her slender figure busy inside. He thought that her pursuit of medicine was just on the spur of the moment. He didn't expect that she really studied medicine.
"Yes..." Anthea nodded.
Adam asked again, "Why are you here?"
Anthea replied, "I came with the professor at school. He took me and Leonardo here to take on an internship during holiday and we joined the medical team!"
"It's dangerous here. Do you know?" Adam said with seriousness.
This was flooded area. The flood was extremely dangerous, drowning quite a few people and trapping quite a few people.
It had been three days since he came here to do the rescue, and he often received news of vehicles carrying supplies turned over halfway here. In addition, in Francis area there might be a mud flows at any time due to the mountainous terrain.
Although a lot of young volunteers joined, most of them were male. It was dangerous for a young girl like her to be here.
He frowned, and then said earnestly in calm voice, "Anthea, you faint at the sight of blood. You're not fit to study medicine at all. Whether it's for others or your own life, it is irresponsible!"
Anthea knew he had misunderstood.
He thought that she was following after him recklessly like a year ago.
"Uncle Adam, please don't worry. I didn't know you're here!" Anthea pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and raised her eyes to look directly at him, "I'm just following my teacher. We came here because here happened to need help. I definitely won't pester you!"
"One year ago I said that I wouldn't bother you anymore, and I won't make troubles to you again. You're only my senior! Also, I've already finished my application to study medicine at that time, so there was no way to change it. It's not like I want to take the opportunity to bother you!"
Seeing that he remained silent, Anthea said in a low voice, "If you don't want to see me, I can tell my teacher that I want to apply for permission to leave in advance!"
Adam had just taken out a cigarette from his cigarette box. When he heard her words, he froze.
After frowning for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Now we're in a shortage of manpower. If you stay here, you'll be able to help a lot of wounded people."
