"Stop, you can't come in here!" A soldier suddenly appeared in front of Amelia and sternly ordered her to halt.
Amelia wasn't frightened, instead she laughed, an odd expression in her teary eyes. She had finally found him.
"I'm looking for Tyler Davis, is he here?" Amelia quickly asked.
Upon hearing her words, the soldier not only refused to let her in, but became even more serious. "Leave now, there's no one here you're looking for. This isn't the place for you."
With that, he forcefully pushed Amelia out.
Amelia became anxious. Her close relationship with Tyler Davis over the years made her momentarily forget that he was a figure not easily seen, especially in such a special situation.
"Wait, I... I'm looking for Jacob Anderson. It's urgent, really urgent. Can you help me call him? Tell him my name is Amelia, he'll know who I am when he sees me." Thinking on her feet, Amelia refused to back down.
The soldier was taken aback upon hearing her mention the names of a brigadier general and his deputy. He thought it was quite impudent, but seeing her determined attitude, he was convinced that she was indeed acquainted with them and wasn't afraid to confront the deputy.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, don't cause any trouble. Wait here, I'll go find someone for you."
Amelia nodded and thanked him. She stood in place, anxiously pacing back and forth.
But she had to wait. If she went in directly, not only would she not see Tyler Davis, but she might also be mistaken for an attacker and get shot.
...
"Deputy, there's a woman outside looking for you," the guard kept his promise and informed Amelia's presence.
"Get lost, it's too late for women now," Jacob Anderson clenched his fists, standing at the door of the operating room, unable to suppress his impatience.
"...Yes, sir," the guard immediately bowed his head and prepared to leave. But before he did, he remembered something and added, "By the way, sir, she said her name is Amelia."
The guard was about to leave when the deputy suddenly appeared beside him, startling him.
"Deputy... deputy?"
"What are you standing there for? Where is she? Take me to her," Jacob Anderson said.
"But... didn't you say you didn't want to see her?" The guard was hesitant to say more.
"..." Jacob Anderson was silent for a moment, then said, "Just take me to her."
The guard didn't say anything further and quickly led Jacob Anderson out.
At the moment Jacob Anderson saw Amelia, he almost didn't recognize her. This delicate and beautiful Miss Amelia had a pale complexion and was covered in sweat, looking disheveled and unrecognizable.
"Miss Amelia, aren't you supposed to be at school? What are you doing here?" Jacob Anderson was surprised, thinking someone was using Amelia's name as a cover to sneak a peek, but he didn't expect to really see her.
When Amelia saw Jacob Anderson, her eyes lit up immediately. Ignoring Jacob Anderson's questioning, she urgently said, "Jacob Anderson, take me to see him."
"See who? Miss Amelia, you shouldn't be wandering around at this late hour. Please go back to school. We still have a mission to complete!" Jacob Anderson said seriously.
Jacob Anderson was puzzled. Amelia should be at school! No one told her that the General had an accident, nor that he was in Ivan. It was an absolute secret. How could Amelia be here?
"Jacob Anderson, I know he's injured. I want to see him. Please don't stop me," Amelia said, staring straight at Jacob Anderson, ignoring his attempt to change the subject.
Jacob Anderson's expression became complicated. He thought of the phone call after the General's injury. His gaze towards Amelia was also somewhat complicated.
After a moment of hesitation, Jacob Anderson gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Amelia, follow me."
The guard was relieved that he had announced the arrival of someone he knew, otherwise he would have brought them in.
The guard suddenly realized that the disheveled woman from earlier who said "go see him" might be referring to General Tyler Davis. The guard's emotions were like riding a roller coaster, fluctuating wildly!
"Miss Amelia, the Brigadier General is still in the operating room and it's been four hours since he went in. He hasn't come out yet," Jacob Anderson said as he brought Amelia to the door of the operating room.
Four hours!
Amelia clenched her fists, her heart aching. If she counted from the time she called Tyler Davis, he was sent to the operating room with such serious injuries. She didn't know how Tyler Davis could be so calm and call her in such a light tone under such circumstances. She knew that Tyler Davis cherished her very much, and his first reaction in this situation was not to scare her, but she would also feel sorry for him when he was injured.
Amelia squatted dumbly at the door of the operating room, not saying a word, just looking at the red light on the operating room door, which read "In Surgery!"
Jacob Anderson urged Amelia to sit and wait, but she shook her head and just stood motionless at the door of the operating room. Jacob Anderson no longer paid attention to her. His anxiety was no less than Amelia's. If it wasn't for Tyler Davis' phone call after being injured, he might not have let Amelia in.
After a while, Amelia's sweat, which had been running frantically, had dried up, and her back was getting colder and colder.
"Ding!"
The door of the operating room opened, and the red light that read "In Surgery!" went out.
Jacob Anderson rushed up first. Amelia's legs were already numb from squatting for too long. She stood up suddenly and fell to the ground, but no one had the mood to pay attention to her, not even herself.
"How is he, Dr. Nan? How is the Brigadier General?" Jacob Anderson asked anxiously.
"He's alive for the time being, but he's still in a coma. We're afraid of lung infection, so he'll have to stay in the intensive care unit for a while. What happened? How did he get such serious injuries?" Ivan Petrov's tone was very bad.
Amelia laughed and cried, lying on the ground. She only heard that he was still alive! Although she knew from her past life's memory that he would survive, she still felt happy because of this sentence.
"Thank you," Jacob Anderson bowed deeply, sincerely thanking him.
Ivan Petrov then turned to Amelia, who was trying to get up, frowned, and said disapprovingly, "Why did you bring this woman here? Isn't it asking for trouble?"
Yeah, in Ivan Petrov's impression, Amelia is just a woman kept by Tyler Davis, and she is an arrogant and disobedient crazy woman. He feels completely sorry for Tyler Davis's years of love and always thought that Tyler Davis had a problem with his taste when he fell for this woman.
"I... can I go see him?" Amelia looked at Ivan Petrov with eager eyes as if she hadn't heard his words.
Ivan Petrov felt a little surprised. In his memory, this little pet didn't like Tyler Davis very much. Why would she show such a caring look?
"No." Ivan Petrov said bluntly.
Amelia's face turned pale, but she didn't retort. She was afraid that if she insisted on going in, it would affect Tyler Davis's recovery. She squatted back at the door of the operating room, holding her knees and burying her head.
Amelia had seen Ivan Petrov many times, and this doctor had a genuine kindness towards everyone, but he had never liked her!
