Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 1308

In the evening, in the private hospital...

No matter when, the emergency center was always the busiest place, while the sound of footsteps of doctors and nurses could be heard everywhere.

Anthea was sitting on one of the emergency beds, with a needle inserted into the back of her hand.

Every emergency bed was separated from the others by a blue curtain. Although the sound of footsteps outside could be heard, the narrow space within the blue curtain was very quiet. It was not her illusion at all.

Adam's tall and strong figure was now standing near a cabinet by her side.

His military uniform had been blotted by a lot of black or gray ashes. At that time, what she saw was not an illusion. It was reality. Adam had jumped in through the window to save her from a large fire. Adam untied the rope around her hands and feet, held her up, and then ran out of the fire.

When the two of them came out of the building, the fire on the top floor was out of control. The whole storey was burning, and there was a tendency that the fire would be spread to lower floors. The firefighting trucks and patrol wagons arrived one after another. Adam directly sent Anthea to the hospital.

By now, Anthea had finished a series of examinations.

Her body was fine, but she had been choked by some smoke, and therefore her throat was a little swollen.

Adam's timely arrival had saved her from dying in the big fire.

Anthea's eyes were now lowered, and her long eyelashes were drawn back, leaving only two curved shadows.

Her fingers, which were hiding by her side, curled up with mixed emotions.

Adam was the man who could save her regardless of any danger.

And he was perhaps the only one who was willing to do so.

Seeing that Anthea had kept her head lowered for a long time, Adam thought that she might be suffering from the mental shock of the big fire. He put his hand onto her head, consoling her, "Anthea, don't be afraid!"

Anthea raised her head, and the two of them looked into each other's eyes. There were repressed

emotions flowing in the eye contact between them.

The curtain was suddenly lifted.

Carter's head got into the curtain. He then realized that it would not be the right time for him to do so because Anthea and Adam were looking at each other intimately, but he had been noticed by them. For a moment, Carter was in a dilemma.

He made a face and said, "Ahem... Well... Should I leave now and come back later?"

Carter didn't dare to joke further when his captain's cold gaze landed on his face. He stepped forward and saluted solemnly. "Captain Chin, the two criminals have been sent to the police station! According to their confessions, the one who hired them to kidnap Anthea is from the Hsu family!"

Anthea pursed her lips. "Uncle Hsu or Madam Jiles?"

"Madam Jiles!" Carter confirmed.

"I know it!" Anthea's eyes were indifferent.

It was obvious that Madam Jiles deliberately kidnapped Anthea to make it impossible for her to inherit Master Hsu's legacy.

In fact, Anthea had already guessed it.

When she was kidnapped at the beginning, she guessed that there might be a number of possibilities. She had not made any personal enemies in her life and work, and it was also

impossible for her to fall victim to the conflict of doctor-patient relationship. She thought that it might be someone from the Hsu family who wanted to hurt or threaten her.

Not long ago, when Anthea and her lawyer visited the Hsu family, there was a big conflict between them.

Jayden Hsu and Madam Jiles tried to blame Anthea for Master Hsu's death. However, what Anthea could see in the eyes of the two of them was only the greediness for wealth.

After all, every human being might have some evil ideas in the face of such a gigantic amount of wealth!

Carter looked at Adam and reported, "Captain Chin, after matching a number of DNA index, it is confirmed that the criminal we arrested today, whose surnamed is Linzell, is exactly the escaped criminal who killed Master Hsu in a car accident six years ago!"

Anthea became excited. "Is it true? Did you really catch the person who escaped after the car accident?"

Now she could figure out what had happened.

The reason why Adam and Carter appeared there was that they had acquired some clues of the escaped criminal and came over there to arrest him.

At the most crucial moment, they also rescued Anthea from the fire.

Adam had taken great pains in pursuit of the escaped criminal because Master Hsu was his former father-in-law.

And more importantly, it was probably because Anthea was his lover...

The criminal who had escaped for six whole years was finally captured. Anthea felt deeply consoled.

Although justice had been done, it was relatively useless, because Master Hsu had passed away for such a long time.

Anthea felt depressed in her chest again.

"Yes!" Carter nodded. "The police have detained him and are interrogating him now! Well be informed after the results come out!" Adam said in a low voice, "Okay."

Since he learned about the real reasons why Anthea wanted to break up with him, he had been secretly investigating this case.

Adam's heart ached for what had happened to his dear little girl. He eagerly wanted to know what she had gone through when he was not there with her. He went to investigate into the surveillance videos of the day on which the car accident happened.

After watching the video inside the coffee shop that day, as well as the whole process of the car accident on the street outside, Adam inadvertently found a special feature of the criminal that the police had ignored. Then, Adam used all his resources to conduct a carpet search for the escaped criminal on the basis of the aforesaid special feature.

Finally, the identity and position of the escaped criminal were nailed down!

But Adam hadn't expected that the criminal would commit another crime and kidnap Anthea.

Adam was scared by the possibilities. What if he didn't show up?

If it was so, Anthea would have been killed in the fire. She was still so young, and as beautiful as a flower that had just bloomed.

Six years ago, the two of them broke up, and he lost her. At that time, he felt that the sky in his world had collapsed. If she was killed by the escaped criminal, Adam didn't know how regretful he would feel.

He couldn't and didn't dare to think about it.

All the medicine bags on the infusion stand had been drip-dried. Anthea didn't bother to ask the nurse. She pulled out the needle directly, got up, and fixed the infusion tube on the infusion stand. Then, she tore up the medical tape and pressed her finger on the puncture point.

She was not seriously injured and didn't need to be hospitalized.

Anthea got off the bed and bent over to put on her shoes.

Adam acted faster than her and had already taken out the shoes under the bed for her.

Anthea saw that Adam lifted his shoulders slightly and was about to put on the shoes for her. In the past, she was quite used to being taken care of as if she were a daughter, but now she thought she couldn't. She opened her mouth, wanting to stop him, but saw that he suddenly frowned.

He seemed to be bearing some pain.

Seeing this, Anthea immediately asked, "Adam, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Adam answered calmly.

Anthea didn't believe it. She remembered how he had just raised his arm. With a doctor's keen sense of illness, she directly put her hand on his shoulder. "Let me see it!"

Through his clothes, she could still sense something strange.

It was a very large bump and it felt sticky.

His training uniform of camouflage had become wetted on his back by blood and sweat. The black stains left by the thick smoke covered these traces of blood and sweat, and therefore others couldn't replace them easily.

Anthea's eyes widened. "You're hurt! Why didn't you tell me?"

She suddenly remembered that there was a burned beam falling from the top of the room while the fire was spreading.

At that moment, Anthea closed her eyes out of fear. When she opened her eyes again, she was already embraced by Adam's sturdy arms.

It must be at that time that he was injured. The broken beam must have hit him...

Adam said, "It's just a minor injury."

Anthea looked anxious. "I'll call the nurse to treat your wound!"

In the consulting room, Adam was sitting straight in a chair.

Anthea and Carter stood side by side. A nurse took off Adam's military uniform to examine his wound.

The wound was indeed large and frightening. Anthea's tears fell down her cheeks.
