Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 1325

It was too late for the two of them to turn around.

Anthea could only step forward and greet the old chief cadre's wife.

The old chief cadre's wife smiled warmly and grabbed Anthea's hand affectionately. "It's okay... Just now, Brock was still asking if the two of you have arrived. He was afraid that Anthea might decide not to come here!"

"Of course I'll come here! Thank you, Madam!" Anthea smiled.

The old chief cadre's wife said thoughtfully, "The banquet tonight is held mainly for expressing our gratitude to you. Anthea, don't be stressed out. Just have fun here. You can enjoy yourself thoroughly later! I'm also delighted that you're here with Adam!"

When she saw that Anthea and Adam were holding each other's hands, she understood the affection between them.

Anthea was a little shy. "Hmm!"

Her long eyelashes were drooping, making her seem a little absent-minded.

However, she was still worried about why her little uncle, Jayden Hsu, suddenly appeared at the

banquet.

Anthea's eyes were a little hesitating. The corners of her lips moved slightly. She was still considering whether they should replace a suitable excuse to leave the banquet early.

Adam held Anthea's little hand tightly.

Looking calm, he said with a faint smile, "Anthea, you go to the living room with Ms. Weil. I have something to talk to Mr. Weil."

Anthea nodded. "Okay..."

She then entered the villa, holding the hand of the old chief cadre's wife.

The banquet was held in a side hall. It was not an extravagant one, but it still had attracted a great many guests.

Not long afterwards, Adam and the old chief cadre, Brock Weil, entered the banquet hall.

The old chief cadre had just recovered from a serious illness. However, he was in a very good state of spirit now. He was wearing a military uniform and his footsteps seemed to be firm and energetic. He looked very different from not long ago when he was hospitalized.

Seeing that her patient had recovered well, Anthea felt sincerely happy about it.

Adam went straight to Anthea's side and held her

hand again.

The old chief cadre and his wife looked over with smiles at the same time. Anthea became even shyer, and her delicate face was red.

The old chief cadre and his wife were the masters and at the same time the focus of attention in the banquet. It was naturally easier for Anthea and Adam to be noticed by more guests if they were quite close to the old couple.

In addition, the two of them were good-looking. When they stood side by side, they were envied by everyone.

There were some gossips among the guests.

"I heard that Mr. Weil's disease was cured by Miss Anthea Lee... She was over there. The other doctors dared not operate on the old chief, but Miss Lee had the courage to do so! Besides, although she looks so young, and she is already a director. It is said that the banquet tonight is held for her!"

"She seems to have a close relationship with Captain Chin. They should be two lovers, right?"

"By the way! I still remember that Captain Chin seemed to have a little girlfriend in the past. When his girlfriend came to the army to visit him, it caused quite a sensation! At that time, she was a medical student... Is this Doctor Lee the little girlfriend of Captain Chin many years ago?"

"I think she is! But isn't there news about Captain Chin and Amelie Celestin being together in the army all these years?"

"That's just a rumor. Captain Chin actually has no interest in Amelie at all. I've never seen them do anything intimate! Look at what's happening now. Since Captain Chin appeared, he has been holding that girl's hand, and his eyes were firmly fixed on her!

"Besides, Amelie is much older than this Miss Lee. If I wear Captain Chin, I'll definitely pick up the younger and more beautiful..." One of the guests enjoyed himself by gossiping with others.

At the end of his words, he suddenly felt the chilly aura from somebody and immediately fell silent.

He stood up straight and said awkwardly, "Ahem... Nice to meet you here... Major Celestin!"

Amelie walked past him and his companions with a livid face and without saying a word.

After Amelie left, the man and his companions looked at each other and rubbed their arms nervously. Then, they ran away in disgrace.

Amelie walked straight to the center of the banquet hall. When she stopped, her face was full of smiles. "Daddy, Mummy!" The old chief cadre and his wife were indeed Amerlie's Godfather and Godmother. "Amelie, come over here!" The old chief cadre's wife greeted her with a smile. "I heard you caught a cold recently. I wanted you to have a good rest at home!"

Amelie shook her head. "I'm fine now. Just an injection is enough!"

The old chief cadre's wife looked at Anthea and Adam who were standing next to her and hesitated. She seemed to be wondering how to speak. "Amelie... Anthea and Adam..."

Before her husband received the operation, she originally had planned to help her Goddaughter get married.

But later, she learned from her husband that Adam liked Anthea the most. As the two of them loved each other so deeply, while Anthea had saved her husband's life, the old chief cadre's wife was grateful to Anthea, and she and liked this nice girl very much now. After all, there was no way to force Adam to fall in love with Amelie...

"Mom, don't worry. I've put it down!" Amelie interrupted her. Then, she looked at Anthea and Adam with a smile, looking very casual and lighthearted. "Adam, Miss Lee, I wish you two the best!" Adam replied calmly, "Thank you."

Anthea pursed her lips and said,"... Thanks!"

The old chief cadre's wife looked at Amelie worriedly. However, when she saw the generous smile on Amelie's face, which suggested that Amelie was sincerely blessing Anthea and Adam, she was finally relieved.

The old chief cadre's wife then turned to her husband and said, "Brock, almost everyone is here. Let's begin the banquet!"

"Okay!" The old chief cadre nodded.

He took his wife's hand, and the two of them went to the podium together.

As the host, the old chief cadre stood in front of the microphone and made the opening speech. After the opening remarks, he paused for a moment and said loudly through the microphone, "Also... Tonight's banquet is not just to celebrate my recovery from the illness. More precisely, I want to thank my doctor. She is Miss Anthea Lee!"

Anthea was then invited up the podium.

As the goal of the banquet was to thank her, Anthea naturally become the focus of attention.

Adam accompanied her to the podium. A tall and strong figure thus stood on one side of the podium. His dark eyes looked at the little girl not far away. The reflection of bright lights in his eyes made this military officer looked tender and doting.

The audience in the banquet hall burst into applause.

It was a great contribution to be able to cure the disease of the old chief cadre, who was a very important figure in the army!

The guests who came to the banquet all knew that this banquet was more like a commendation for Anthea Lee the doctor.

Anthea felt a little embarrassed. Her cheeks blushed, which made her look more charming and lovely. "I just did what a doctor should do. I have been doing my duty since I was admitted into the medical college!

"And it was indeed an honor for me to do the operation for Mr. Weil. Everyone here is special in the field he/she works in, and I can learn a lot from them!"

Anthea's last words made the guests feel comfortable, and the guests applauded.

Among the crowd, Amelie was also applauding and smiling.

However, an air of gloominess could vaguely be noticed in her features. Her eye expressions were unnatural and malicious.

Amelie looked at Anthea hatefully, who was standing on the podium happily as if the latter was her sworn enemy. Anthea was wearing a long and white chiffon skirt, revealing two arms as tender as lotus roots. Her long hair fell down to her shoulders like a waterfall, and the lamplights shed on her hair, which made her look more delicate and charming.

Two small dimples appeared on her face, and her smile was just like breeze in the spring. She was now receiving everyone's praise. Amelie thought, "Be happy now! And be crying later!"
