It was the Francis in early August.
There were dark clouds in the sky. The heavy rain poured down, and the minibus was moving slowly on the state highway.
Because the rain was too heavy, they had to stop and restart all the way. It seemed that there was still a long way to the flood-stricken area. There were two big trucks in front of the van, which were all loaded with goods for transportation.
Vegetable fields on both side of the road had already been submerged.
"Ah, when will the rain stop?" The person sitting in the front sighed.
The longer the storm lasted, the worse it was for the flood-stricken area.
Anthea, who was in the last row, looked out of the window. The rain covered the glass, and there was a thin layer of water vapor in her sight. The rain would not stop.
"Damn it!"
A foul language came from the side.
Anthea turned her face and rolled her eyes,
"Leonardo, keep your voice down. The teacher is going to hear it!"
Leonardo curled his body in his seat, and his legs were crossed in a casual manner. He was holding his mobile phone, playing mobile games. He was playing with all his energy. He had just lost, so he shouted out in anger.
When he heard her words, he immediately looked nervously ahead.
Anthea hit him with her elbow, "Stop playing. If power and water were cut in the flood-stricken area, you'd better leave some power."
"All right then!" Leonardo put down his phone.
Looking in the front, Anthea said, "I guess we'll arrive at the disaster area in the afternoon. Be careful when we get there! Don't mix the hemostatic with other medicines again, or teacher will flunk you. When we get back, your dad will beat you with a whip!"
"I know!" Leonardo shook the yellow hair on his forehead and snorted, "What's so hard about studying medicine? Just follow the procedures and prescribe according to the condition."
Anthea shook her head and laughed.
Her hair was a bit shorter, and she had a bang. It hung down on her plump forehead, making her eyes look even larger, like black gems.
Next month, she would be in her sophomore year in a medical university.
At the beginning, she wanted to learn medicine because of Adam. She just wanted to get closer to him. But later, she had to give up.
However, the application had already been handed in before she went to Francis for Adam. Because she was full of enthusiasm, all her preferences were medicine. Finally, she got admitted into a medical university as she had expected.
Although she had lost her initial desire, Anthea gradually fell in love with this occupation and wanted to be a good doctor.
As for Leonardo, it was a special accident.
When Anthea went to register at the school, she was surprised to meet Leonardo, who was also holding the admission letter in a low spirit. After asking, she learned that he was forced to come by his family. The family only gave him two choices, either to join the army or to study medicine.
Leonardo was used to living in luxury. How could he be willing to endure the hardship in the army?
Now it was during the summer vacation. There was a famous professor in the Medical University named Vincent Zanon. During vacations, he often participated in the medical teams of different places and would take his favorite students. After all, such experience was closer to clinical work when they would become doctors, and students could learn more than serving as a handy man in normal hospitals.
Anthea was Vincent's favourite student. But he took Leonardo with him only because Leonardo's father had wielded the Schain family's influence.
Leonardo's father wanted his son to get some practice.
At this time, they were following the medical team and rushed to a county town suffering great flood.
Thinking of her determination to never come back to Francis in her life, she didn't expect that she would come again out of the quirk of fate...
"Here we are!"
Someone suddenly called out.
The minibus slowed down and stopped. The two big trucks in front of them had also stopped, and everyone in the vehicle went down one after another.
Ever since they parted at the airport a year ago, how many times had she secretly drawn his face in her heart?
Seeing him approaching herself step by step, Anthea murmured as if in a dream, "...Uncle Adam!"
When Adam saw her, he was also stunned, "Anthea?"
It seemed that they didn't expect to see each other here, and both of them stood still.
Anthea looked at him blankly and unconsciously clenched her fists. She never thought of meeting him again in this way.
Vincent, who was at the front, turned back and shouted, "Come on, there is wounded here. Anthea, take out the iodine and gauze!"
When she was brought back to reality, Anthea opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Adam, I'm going to do my own work now!"
"Okay." Adam said in a deep voice.
Anthea pulled her clothes and hat down and ran quickly to her teacher.
There were many soldiers injured when rescuing the trapped residents. Fortunately, they only had some external injuries that were not serious. Some of their wound festered due to exposure to dirty water and needed disinfection and treatment.
Anthea followed the teacher, helping to treat the wounded, while Leonardo was holding the medicine box.
The injured were moved to the settlements for medical rescue one after another. The whole building was crowded with people. Anthea's nose was sweating slightly, but her looked very calm.
Whenever her teacher, Vincent, finished dealing with a patient, she would wrap up the wound. Her movements were quick and professional.
During her working, she could feel a gaze fixed on her, following her like her shadow.
While Anthea was busy, there was no time to find him.
She seemed to know who it was, but could not be sure.
After she finished bandaging the wound and came out, she was suddenly caught by a big rough hand at the door.

The readers' comments on the novel: Purchased A Mr. Right
Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
