The whole process only lasted one or two minutes.
Anthea watched as he jumped down the cave and stood in front of her. It felt like a dream.
Astonished, she jumped to her feet and said in amazement, "Oh my god! How did you manage to do that? That was amazing!"
Adam rose to his feet as soon as landed. He then held her shoulders and asked, "Are you hurt anywhere?"
He had removed the twig covering the opening, and it was much brighter inside the cave. He could see her little face more clearly.
She looked fine, and there were no tears on her face. Her camouflage uniforms were crumpled, and her hair was unkempt. There were some loose leaves on her hair, but her eyes were bright when she looked at him.
Anthea grinned, showing her two small dimples. "No, I'm not hurt. The leaves down here are quite thick.
I'm so lucky!"
"Let me have a look!" Adam said.
He had been frowning since Leonardo told him that Anthea was missing.
His hands slid down from her shoulders, and he looked at her up and down, examining every part of her.
Seeing that he was so serious, Anthea said in an adorable voice, "My butt hurts. That's all. I landed on my bottom when I fell, and it's still a little painful. Do you want to have a look?"
She then realized that it sounded like she was flirting with him.
Anthea almost wanted to bite down her own tongue. She blushed and looked abashed.
Adam didn't accept the invitation. Instead, he pursed his lips.
Anthea didn't notice the look on his face. Still feeling shy, she ran to his side and held his arm. "Uncle-inlaw, you haven't told me yet! How did you jump down like that? It was so cool. You have to teach me some time... Hmm!"
She was stopped by the thin lips on her mouth.
He pressed her against the wall and kissed her so hard that she felt she was being swallowed whole.
She whimpered in pain.
Five minutes later, Adam finally let go of her, and her pink lips were so red that they looked like they were bleeding.
Anthea raised her head, feeling wronged, and only then did she see his face. It was as dark as a stormy sky.
Her heart skipped a beat.
He looked tense, and his deep-set eyes were filled with concern and anxiety.
Anthea suddenly realized that he must be very nervous about her. She comforted him in a soft voice, "Don't worry. I'm perfectly fine!"
Adam tightened his grip around her waist and sounded displeased. "Leonardo told me that you were missing, and I've searched everywhere for you. Why did you come to this part of the woods? Don't you know how dangerous it is?"
He was so anxious that he felt like there were needles in his stomach.
Although he knew that this was a tourism area with little danger, he was still terrified when he heard that she was missing. He was worried that something bad would happen to her. With every passing second, he became more worried.
He was finally at ease when he made sure that she was alright.
Every time Adam lost his temper, he looked very intimidating.
Anthea was a little scared, but when she remembered a similar situation when they were in the disaster area. Back then, he told her that she was no longer alone, and she was very touched. She immediately said, "I'm sorry."
Adam sighed and said, "Anthea, were you afraid?"
"No, I wasn't!" Anthea shook her head and leaned into his arms. "I was a little scared at first, but after I found out that I wasn't hurt, I wasn't afraid anymore!
