Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 1309

The whole right shoulder of Adam was covered with bruises.

The wound was much worse than she had expected. His bronze skin was swollen, and there was a bump that looked like a small hill. There was also congested blood under the surface of the skin.

Adam was a military officer, and therefore he tended to suffer from different kinds of injuries all the year around. If there was a wound that made him frown, it must be a serious one.

Anthea turned her face away.

After the water vapor dissipated, she looked back.

Luckily, although Adam was hit by the broken beam, his bones were not really hurt. However, his back was still burned by the falling pieces of the beam, and it would perhaps take a long time for him to recover from the injury.

The nurse applied medicines to the wound, and then bandaged it from the shoulder to the armpit.

Anthea suddenly started.

Her eyes were fixed on his left chest.

When the nurse cut the gauze short with scissors, she had to pull the military shirt back a little, and Adam's left chest was thus partially revealed. Anthea caught sight of a scar on it.

It looked like an old scar, but it still appeared to be appalling.

There were many scars on Adam's body.

Anthea had seen his body thoroughly before when they were sleeping together. She was sure that she hadn't seen this scar on his left chest before.

When Anthea was living abroad, she had been to many remote and small countries, and even war-shattered countries. She used to operate on civilians who had been shot to take out the bullets, and therefore she could identify the scar on Adam's left chest to be the result of a gunshot wound.

It was near his heart, and was at an extremely deadly location.

Anthea wanted to take a closer look, but Adam seemed to have noticed her intention. He pulled his military shirt down to cover his left chest.

At that moment, the nurse stood up with the tray in her hand. She prescribed some medicines for Adam and said that he could go home now.

The green military jeep was driving through the neon lights which shed on the street.

At this time, when the evening lights were lit, the

whole city was enveloped in the colorful night.

As Anthea and Adam were both injured, Carter was driving the jeep.

After arriving at the residential community, the two of them got out of jeep. Adam accompanied Anthea to the entrance of the building where she lived.

In the darkness, their shadows were stretched on the ground by the street lamps.

Adam's right shoulder was wrapped in gauze, and therefore was much higher than the other side. He put one hand in his pocket and said, "You don't have to worry about the will. Madam Jiles's kidnapping case has been reported to the police. They have placed this case on file and are already investigating it.

"And the Hsu family will no longer be able to occupy the properties that belong to you. It will be subject to mandatory order from the court."

Anthea nodded.

She was not somebody who treated money like dirt. She wanted money to satisfy her own needs. However, she didn't desire to inherit a huge amount of properties from Master Hsu.

At first, she just wanted to help the little patient. It was because of the little patient that she thought of the will left by her grandfather and called the lawyer.

Unexpectedly, this resulted in her being kidnapped.

It seemed that Madam Jiles was willing to do anything in order to help her son, who was as greedy as her, to rob Anthea of the properties that she deserved to inherit.

Thinking of the big fire in the afternoon, Anthea's palms were still wet.

Her heart was still fluttering with fear.

If Adam didn't show up at the last minute, she might not be able to stand here alive.

Anthea said, "Adam, thank you. If you weren't there to save me today, I would..."

Adam's deep voice interrupted her. "Anthea, it was the most fortunate moment in my life to save your life."

If Anthea lost her life...

It would be the same with killing him.

Anthea's long eyelashes fluttered. Then, she looked down and stopped at his left chest.
