Chapter 1206
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.
She had been wearing the plaster cast for about a month. Now that the plaster was removed, she felt a little strange without it.
The doctor smiled and added, "In cloudy days, you may feel a little painful in your leg. Application of hot compress would be helpful in this case. If there is any problem, you can come to the hospital at any time!"
"Thank you, doctor!"
"You're welcome!"
Twenty minutes later, Anthea and Adam came out of the hospital building.
Although the plaster had been removed, Anthea only tried to walk from the elevator to the entrance of the hospital, where there were a lot of concrete steps. Adam then bent over and held her up in his arms again.
Anthea's little hand automatically hooked around his neck.
This action was almost habitual because the two of them had done it too many times.
Anthea asked, "Adam, where have you been just now?"
A trace of unnaturalness appeared on Adam's handsome face. He replied "Nothing."
Anthea didn't pay much attention to it. Her heart was beating wildly when she thought of the fact that the plaster had finally been removed, that she would have to...
She lowered her head a little. She was blushing so seriously.
The jeep drove from the hospital to the residential area.
Coming out of the elevator, Anthea was still being held up in the arms of Adam, who treated her like an endearing princess. Suddenly, she caught sight of a figure whom she immediately recognized as Leonardo, "Golden Leonardo, why are you here?"
Leonardo, who had been leaning against the security door and shrugging his shoulders like a large and wretched dog, immediately complained to Anthea when he saw her, "I come here all because of you! You said your plaster will be removed today, and I want to see whether you're recovering well. Guess what happen? Your mobile phone had been turned off all the time! I waited here and almost fell asleep with this watermelon in my arms!"
It seemed that he really had been waiting for Anthea for a long time. The yellow hair on his forehead had become somewhat messy, and he was actually holding a huge watermelon in his arms. "Oh, I see!" Anthea bit her lips.
Leonardo suddenly felt something strange, as if Anthea was treating him like an uninvited guest. He stamped his feet in anger. "D*mn it! Anthea, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite me in!" After the three of them entered the house, Anthea led Leonardo into the living room, while Adam took the watermelon and went to the kitchen.
When he came back, there was a plate of sliced watermelon and two cups of warm water in his hand.
Leonardo drank half of the cup of water in one breath. He wiped the corners of his mouth and touched his belly. He then yelled out at Anthea, "I'm starving to death. Do you have any food to eat?" By this time, it was evening and the sun was setting. Outside the French window, there was an extremely beautiful scene of sunsetting.
Through the windows of apartments of highrise buildings opposite to their house, there were many people busily preparing their meals in the kitchens. It was indeed time for dinner.
Anthea frowned and asked, "Golden Leonardo, are you going to stay for dinner?"
Hearing her words, Leonardo once again stamped his feet and said with his eyes glaring, "Anthea Lee, are you still a human being? I just visited your house and haven't warmed up my butt yet. I've waited at your door for almost three hours, but you don't even want to give me a hot meal?"
"Then, what do you want to eat tonight?" Adam asked calmly.
Although Adam was not necessarily asking him, Leonardo still felt that he was flattered. He immediately showed a flattering expression and said, "Adam, are you going to cook the dinner for us? You are so awesome!" "Yes." Adam nodded.
Anthea glanced at Leonardo and said quietly, "Forget about it... Let's just order some takeouts!"
She was afraid that after Leonardo ate the dishes cooked by Adam, he might be deeply attracted by his cooking skills, and thus frequently visited their house as an unwanted guest. She just hoped that the dishes cooked by Adam would only be enjoyed by herself exclusively!
Leonardo saw through her thoughts and rolled his eyes up at the ceiling.
"Anthea Lee is such a petty girl!" He thought.
