Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1107
It was in the afternoon; the sun was at its peak.
Anthea leaned against the tent, biting a compressed biscuit while enjoying the warm sunlight outside with her eyes closed.
Whenever she thought of the kiss last night, her heart would beat faster.
As soon as she finished her words, Adam kissed her again.
This kiss was much more passionate than before. She was so inexperienced that she could only try her best to respond to his kiss. In the end, it was unknown who bit the other one's tongue. When they separated, his scent still lingered on her, with the smell of blood.
Suddenly, someone tugged at the hem of her clothes, and she heard a crisp child's voice. "Little sister!"
Anthea looked down and saw a little boy standing in front of her. The boy was looking up at her, his skin tanned and his eyes full of innocence.
It was the naughty boy who drowned himself in the water yesterday. He was not as weak as yesterday. Instead, he looked pretty energetic.
Anthea was amused. "You naughty, how can you become lively so quickly?"
"A blind fortune-teller had told my grandma that I could live to a hundred years old!" The little boy said proudly.
"Oh, really!" Anthea pinched his cheek and stuffed the rest compressed biscuits in his hand. "You can't always get into mischief. What you did yesterday is too dangerous!"
The little boy argued. "I am not a naughty boy. I just want to replace 'Luna' back!"
"Luna?" Anthea was confused.
The little boy nodded and told her in a crisp voice, "Well, it's my cat, a good cate. When the flood came, it ran to the hillside. Now it can't get down, so my Luna must be very scared! The village is full of water, and I can't swim. I can't swim across the water to get it back!"
Anthea heard this and looked at the hillside on the other side of the village. Only then did she know how he fell into water yesterday.
The little boy grabbed her clothes again and looked at her expectantly. "Little sister, can you help me replace it?"
So, this was what the kiddo was planning. He probably knew that it was her who saved him yesterday, so he came here to ask for her help.
"I know where it is, and I can replace it once I get there!" The little boy's hands holding her clothes swung back and forth as he begged eagerly, "Please!"
Anthea looked embarrassed, but she did not know how to refuse.
After all, when so many days had passed, this cat might have died already. However, if she did not agree, she was afraid that this naughty child would look for his cat again and might drown the second time while everyone was not paying attention.
After a long period of hesitation, she nodded and said, "Okay, wait a minute!"
She first returned to the medical center and transferred things on her hands to Leonardo. Then she came out and took the little boy's hand. "Let's go. I'll take you to replace 'Luna"!"
They walked towards the military tents.
At this time, there was only a soldier left, and the others had gone to the village to search for residents who might still be alive.
Of course, Anthea would not stupidly swim there. She picked up a rubber boat and put on a life jacket. Seeing this, the little boy insisted on going with her. She had no choice but to take one more life jacket for him.
There was a lake in the town where she grew up. When they were free, she would often go boating with her adoptive parents.
In her eyes, the boat and rubber boat was almost the same.
Anthea climbed into the rubber boat and tried to paddle it a few times. After becoming familiar with it, she moved the boat in the flood water toward the hillside the little boy pointed at.
An hour later, she paddled back, panting heavily.
In addition to them, there was a little living creature in the boat.
When she stopped the rubber boat on the shore piled up with sacks of cement, Anthea first carried the little boy out of it. Then she dropped the paddle and climbed out of the rubber boat. After that, she bent down and pulled the boat to the shore. When everything was done, her back was soaked.
The hillside looked close, but in fact, it was very far away.
In addition, she was rowing the boat alone, so her two arms were exhausted at this time.
When she was about to take a break, she suddenly saw a tall and straight figure in green uniform striding toward her, as quickly as a gust of fierce wind.
Oops! Damn!
Anthea's heart sank.
She immediately jumped away from the rubber boat and began to take off the life jacket on her. Before she could make it, Adam had arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye.
When he saw Adam, the little boy shouted excitedly with pride, "The little sister is amazing! She rowed the boat so quickly that we almost flew from the water to the hillside. With only a few agile movements, she climbed over the hillside and brought 'Luna' back. She is a heroine!"
To prove what he said was true, he lifted the black cat in his arms, showing it to Adam.
The black cat, however, was a smart one. It must have sensed some dangerous information and even stopped meowing at this moment.
"A heroine?" Adam's eyes narrowed coldly.
Anthea, nervously rolling her eyes, said, "Ahem, Adam, please let me explain..."
Adam suddenly raised his voice and criticized in a harsh tone, "Explain? Who allowed you to use the rubber boat?!"
Ten minutes ago, when he came back from the search-and-rescue job, he ordered soldiers to add two stories of cement sacks in case the flood would rise. In this way, the temporary settlement site for residents would stay safer.
After coming back, Adam went straight to her.
To his surprise, she was not in the medical center. Leonardo told him that she had gone to the military tents with a boy at noon.
However, when Adam arrived at the military tents, she was not there, so he asked his subordinates her whereabouts. As he heard that she got a rubber boat and left, he felt drumming in his temples. Without further delay, he ran over and happened to see her dragging the boat. She was dirty all her and even her little face was stained with mud.
On the spot, his face went black as thunder.
Adam reproached her in a cold voice as he scolded those new recruits in the army. "Listen to me carefully! Don't you know how dangerous it was to do that?"
"I didn't think so much..." Anthea replied weakly.
"He's a child. Are you a child too?!" Adam's thin lips tightened, and he looked cold. There was suppressed anger in his dark eyes. He continued, his index finger pointing to her. "The village is low-lying, so do you know how deep the flood water here is? Also, do you know how fast the water currents are?"
"You did not acknowledge anyone, nor did you get any permission! With such a young and ignorant child, you went to such a far hillside with a rowing boat! Anthea, do you really consider yourself as a heroine?!"
He spoke in a harsh and solemn tone, every word coming out of his mouth as sharp as swords.
Adam's loud voice echoed around. The little boy, holding his cat, was terrified.
Terror made him catch his breath.
Both he and the cat were scared!
Many soldiers and residents, including medical workers of the medical team, stuck their heads out to see what was happening.
Anthea's face turned scarlet and then white because of his roar.
Even when so many people were watching, he was not willing to stop and continued lecturing her severely.
Anthea's little face fell too, and her mouth tightened into a thin line. Suddenly, she went into furious.
Could not he show her some respect in public?
