Beiyang 1917

The young woman's hair in front of Wang Geng is wrapped in a delicate but unobtrusive headscarf. Sunglasses cover most of her face, but under the glasses, the delicate white skin on the tip of her nose and red lips make her look no more than 27 or [-] years old. And the hands of the young woman holding her tightly were slender and cold.

Looking at the savior who smiled at her but didn't speak, the young woman realized at this moment that she was being rude in wearing sunglasses, she quickly withdrew her hand and took off the sunglasses, revealing a beautiful but haggard face, although it could be seen that the young woman came before I have modified my makeup very well, but obviously the impact of yesterday's unexpected incident on the young woman has not faded so quickly.

"I'm Wang Geng, a third-year Chinese cadet at West Point Military Academy. I'm sorry to keep you waiting downstairs, but I don't know your wife's name yet?" Wang Geng said with a smile as he invited the visiting young woman to take a seat.

Nurse Kelly outside the door followed in with a grimace, Wang Geng turned around and said, "Nurse Kelly, can I trouble you to bring this lady a cup... coffee or hot tea?" Wang Geng asked The young woman in the chair?

"You can call me Mrs. McAdoo, coffee, nurse, thank you!" The young woman put on her sunglasses at some point, obviously unwilling to show Lushan's true colors in front of people other than Wang Geng.

"Coffee! Got it, come here! Mrs. McAdoo!" Kelly snorted slightly, then turned to Wang Geng with a calm expression, "Gun, do you still want tea?"

"Tea! Tea! Thank you Kaili!" Wang Geng nodded helplessly, and Kaili turned around and walked out the door. Wang Geng let out a sigh of relief, not understanding why the two women had such a strong smell of gunpowder!

As soon as Kelly went out, the young Mrs. McAdoo took off her sunglasses again. Before she could speak, she began to choke up again.

"Mr. Wang, I don't know how to thank you for your heroic act yesterday. You are the lifesaver of Catherine and our family...I was too careless yesterday...Catherine's hat was blown away by the wind...I didn't hold back , she slipped into the water when she went to pick up her hat... I should have jumped... but you know I can't swim... the people by the river are either old people or women and children"

Wang Geng saw that Mrs. McAdoo was already sobbing after a few words, so he comforted her softly, and at the same time took a new towel from the bathroom and handed it to her to wipe her eyes.

"Is Catherine your daughter's name? It's a beautiful name. How is she doing now? The water was really cold yesterday. Is she okay?"

Seeing that the young woman came here alone, Wang Geng was a little concerned about the little girl he rescued yesterday.

"Catherine was named by her grandfather. She is okay, but she was frightened, so I didn't bring her here today. Poor child, she is only four years old this year. She almost died because of my negligence, Mr. Wang, You didn't save Catherine alone yesterday, you saved me and our whole family!"

Speaking of which, Mrs. McAdu raised her head and tightly grasped Wang Geng's hand. The eyes and tear stains on her beautiful face exuded her inner gratitude.

"Your daughter is only four years old? She really looks like a big child, but she is as beautiful as a porcelain doll. I thought she was six or seven years old. We Chinese say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. Ma'am, You should be happy now, if you cry too much, you will easily get dark circles." Wang Geng gently patted the young woman's hand to comfort him, and at the same time quietly pulled back the hand that was grabbed by the woman.

Just kidding, this lonely family is in the same room. Later, Kaili sees that she, a pious guy, is already holding the hand of the stunning young woman. What she knows is that she is comforting her family, but what she doesn't know is that she is hooking up with a married man.

"You can call me Eleanor, Mr. Wang Geng! Catherine is my favorite in this world, and the neighbors like to call her porcelain doll, Mr. Wang, are you all right? I am so sorry yesterday, child His father sent someone to pick us up as soon as he got the news."

"My health is fine, I'm just here to hide from the news media. Mr. McAdoo loves his daughter very much, which is completely understandable. Besides, if you can't live in the hospital, you can't. I can't help it. If you can't, you have to Going back to the military academy...Madam, you also know that the life in the military academy is relatively rigid and boring...at least I don't want to be here so conveniently if I want to see you!" Wang Geng said truthfully.

There was another slamming sound at the door. Before Wang Geng could stand up and open the door, Kaili held a tray in both hands and opened the door with her back. Wang Geng hurriedly went up to help, and the nurse girl glanced Mrs. McAdoo glanced at this young woman who was not inferior to her in beauty, faintly frustrating Miss Kelly.

"Wang Geng, the doctor said that what you need most right now is rest. You haven't stopped spinning since you woke up in the morning. If you faint later, you don't know when you will wake up!"

Kaili muttered and threatened Wang Geng in a low voice, and at the same time showed her breasts to the young woman over there in a demonstrative way, and turned around unwillingly and went out!

Staying here as a light bulb girl is afraid that she will lose her demeanor and can't help arguing with that woman. Speaking of this kind of hostility, even Kelly herself can't figure out why it came out so violently!

Of course, Mrs. McAdoo could see the performance of the beautiful nurse. Obviously, the ward is not the best place to communicate with the savior. After Kelly went out, Mrs. McAdoo stood up and said softly,

"Mr. Wang Geng, I am more happy than anyone else that you can wake up. Catherine is also clamoring to see you, uncle, in person. We can't repay you enough for saving her life. My husband has been in the hospital these days. I can't leave the meeting, originally he wanted to thank you in person!"

Wang Geng smiled and said, "Madam, you don't have to worry about it. Although Catherine fell into the water and was frightened unfortunately, I won the title of honorary citizen of New York just because I saved her. The world is so big, and New York is so big. It is obviously God's will to save Catherine there, so you don't have to worry too much about it!"

Mrs. McAdoo nodded slightly, "You are right. You are an angel sent by God to save Catherine and our family. I don't know when you will be discharged from the hospital. My husband and I would like to invite you to our house. You must To come!"

Wang Geng rubbed his head, thinking that I have so much time to spend with you and your family, how many things I have to wait for myself to do every minute, and I have no idea how to get on the line of President Wilson.

Seeing that Wang Geng was hesitant, Mrs. McAdu said, "You don't have to worry about things at West Point Military Academy. My husband is an acquaintance with your previous principals, and the child's grandfather also wants to meet little Catherine's savior. It's just this paragraph. Both of them are very busy in Washington, so they can't spare time to visit you in New York."

"Your husband works in Washington?" Wang Geng's heart moved when he heard this.

"Our family has relatives and houses in New York and Washington, but I lived with my husband in Washington four years ago after we got married. This time I came to New York to see my sister." Mrs. McAdoo said.

"May I ask, does your husband work for the US government in Washington? You know that I have a good friend and his wife who also live in Washington, and I spent Christmas at their home last Christmas!" Wang Geng said with a smile.

"Well..." Mrs. McAdoo hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "My husband works in the cabinet, I hope you can understand his difficulty in not wanting to make a big deal of it, you are a West Point student, and you know whether the United States should go to Europe to fight Things have been tossing them for a long time!"

"A member of your husband's cabinet?! May I take the liberty to know your husband's name?" Wang Geng was overjoyed when he heard this. Someone sent a pillow as soon as he fell asleep. This guy's mind was running at full speed, but he couldn't remember which member of Wilson's cabinet had the last name. McAdu, I had to ask honestly.

Mrs. McAdoo had a complicated expression, hesitating to speak, the young woman went to the door and listened, but there was obviously no one in the quiet corridor outside.

She turned around and bit her lips and said, "You are Catherine's savior, our family should not have any secrets about you, my husband is William Gibbs McAdoo, the government's finance minister!"

Nima!What McAdoo, it turned out to be McAdoo! william gibb smcadoo! Treasurer in Wilson's cabinet from 1913-1918, and more!

"Madam, you said your name is Eleanor, then...then...you are...you are..." Wang Geng was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a moment!

"Yes, my full name before I married my husband was Eleanor Randolph Wilson! Thomas Woodrow Wilson is my father, and I am his youngest daughter!" Eleanor nodded.

President Thomas Woodrow Wilson!

Wang Geng felt that the distance between the god of luck and himself had never been as close as it is at this moment!
