Emerson turned his attention to Anthea's legs. "Little girl, what's wrong with your legs?"
"Just a little wound!" Anthea's answer was concise.
"You were so careless... Is it serious?" Emerson asked with concern.
Anthea shook her head. "It's not serious. The plaster is about to be taken down!"
"Uh-Huh!" Emerson nodded. He wanted to continue chatting with her, but his mobile phone suddenly rang. He had to look at it and said, "I have something to do now. I have to go. Anthea, I have a feeling that we're destined to meet again!"
"Goodbye, Young Master Chiang!" Anthea smiled politely.
Emerson held back his eagerness to stretch out his hand when he noticed that Anthea was looking at him warily. He was afraid that he would be embarrassed if Anthea refused to shake hands with him.
Emerson turned around and left after saying "goodbye" to her. Suddenly, he stopped and shouted, "Oh... I forgot to say something. Little girl, you look so beautiful in this red skirt! You're just like a Fairy
Flower today!"
Anthea was speechless.
She was still very happy when she heard the first sentence,"... so beautiful in this red skirt!" But the corners of her lips twitched when she heard the last sentence.
"What does Fairy Flower mean? I don't like it!" she thought angrily.
Anthea watched Emerson's straight figure getting into a luxury car parked in the distance. Then, she took back her sight. Suddenly, she heard the horn of a car. She turned back and see that the green jeep was near her.
Adam got out of the jeep and carried her to the passenger seat.
Soon after the doors were closed, the jeep left the supermarket.
The sunshine was bright in the afternoon, and it streamed through the windshield, which made it warm and comfortable inside the jeep. However, Anthea found that air of coldness was slowly coming from the depths of Adam's black eyes, and his face seemed to be a little gloomy.
Anthea blinked her eyes doubtfully.
Adam looked over and his chin looked powerful. "Did someone talk to you just now?"
"Ah?" Anthea was stunned.
Then she realized who he was talking about. She could not help pursing her lips to laugh.
"Adam must be jealous!" She thought.
"What you imagined is not true!" Anthea tried to console him immediately. She realized that her relationship with Emerson had not been mentioned to him yet, and therefore she continued, "It's someone I know! Do you remember that I once accompanied my grandpa to attend a birthday party before? At that time..."
Anthea roughly told Adam what happened that day: She carelessly broke the artwork of spring scene in the bathroom; Emerson jumped into the man-made river to save a child and was wounded; She help Emerson to bandage his wound, etc.
After hearing this, Adam's facial features softened a little. He was surprised, "Emerson Chiang?"
"Yes... Everyone calls him Young Master Chiang!" Anthea nodded.
Adam frowned and said, "You should stay away from him."
"Well..." Anthea replied obediently, "Grandpa also had told me the same thing! But... Are you two enemies?" "Almost." Adam said calmly.
Anthea nodded and leaned forward to hug his arm, flattering him, "I'll always stand by your side."
Time seemed to pass quickly in winter.
The doctor wearing a white gown stood up and said, "According to the X-ray photographs, the fracture is basically healed. The plaster can be removed now. When you go back home, you can apply hot compress in your spare time, and take some medicines for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis! Try to avoid walking frequently. Although the bones have been healed, they are not very strong now. It will take approximately a hundred days for the bones to become strengthened. For this reason, you'll need to be more careful in the future!"
"Alright." Adam nodded.
Anthea put down her trouser legs bit by bit.
