Not only the buses for transferring the villagers were to set off, but soldiers, officers of the other salvation teams, as well as medical personnel of the other rescue teams, also had to go there.
Anthea and Adam returned to their minibus and jeep respectively, and then all the vehicles set off.
The buses were in the front part of the fleet of vehicles, and they were followed by several military pickup trucks. The minibus carrying Anthea was in the middle, and there was also a military SUV at the end of the fleet.
It seemed as if Adam was escorting Anthea behind her. He could give her invisible protection.
As the fleet was leaving, Anthea and Adam almost looked back simultaneously at the big and towering tree without knowing that the other side was doing the same thing.
They both felt pitiful that they had to leave this place now.
Many years later, when Adam became a guardian of the nation's frontiers and drove his jeep to inspect the neighboring desert area from morning to night, while Anthea became the doctor of a charitable organization, who had to travel through the mountains and rivers in the remote and backward areas of under developed countries, they would often miss each other in lonesome midnights, and miss the romantic moments they enjoyed together under the big and towering tree...
They set off from noon, and the fleet drove along the national highway for a long time. Finally, they turned to the inter-city expressways.
The sun was setting in the west. In another ten minutes or so, the fleet would reach the gate of the city.
This also meant that Anthea and Adam were about to separate from each other.
Adam would return to the army; Anthea would go to the airport following the medical team's vehicles. Her teacher, Vincent Zanon, had already booked a flight and would take Anthea and Leonardo back to Ice city tonight.
The buses continued to move forward, but the military pickup trucks in front of the minibusses suddenly came to a halt.
The driver hurriedly stopped the minibus where Anthea was in and asked if there was something wrong again.
A soldier got off the pickup truck, pointed to the rest area next to him, and explained, "Don't worry. There is nothing wrong! Captain Chin has ordered that we should have a rest because everyone would be tired after driving for such a long time. That's to say, we are going to rest for a while!"
Hearing that, all the persons inside the minibus looked at each other in bewilderment.
After all, they were about to enter the city. There was virtually no need to rest at this time point!
Anthea turned her head and, through the rearview mirror, she could see the tall and strong figure of Adam jumping out of the SUV behind the minibuses.
She bit her lips lightly and understood that he had given the order on purpose because he wanted to bid her farewell...
Anthea pretended to walk to the rest area with the others, and she went to the bathroom. When she came out, Adam was waiting for her at the door with a cigarette in his hand.
Seeing Anthea come out, Adam put down the cigarette, took her hand, and the two of them walked to the side of the house.
After taking a turn, Anthea was pressed against the wall by Adam.
Her face was blushed, and her heart was beating fast.
It was Kabe-Don (Wall-Don) again!
She suddenly realized that he seemed to be very interested in Kabe-Don.
Adam put one of her arms against the wall, covering her delicate body under his chest, and raised the other hand of him to caress her right face.
Adam was not only caressing her face like he usually did, but also rubbed her skin back and forth.
Although his fingers, with the gun calluses on them, could always cause a pleasant thrilling sensation in her, this time he used a lot more force as if he wanted to wipe off something unclean on her face.
Anthea felt a little painful, and she murmured softly, "Dear Uncle, what are you doing?"
There was a small wrinkle between Adam's eyebrows. He said in a low voice, "Not only did you kiss him, but he also kissed you."
Anthea suddenly understood and didn't know how to reply him.
"Ow... Noh."
"Lil Adam, that's enough!"
Adam caressed her again and again with his fingers and gun calluses, and only when he saw that her fair and tender skin had become a little red did he stop.
