Chapter 1176: 1176. Getting beaten up unilaterally

"Elly Campbell!"

James Campbell suddenly called out behind her. As Elly Campbell was about to turn around, she felt a fierce shove from James.

Neither she nor her husband had anticipated James’s actions. Elly couldn’t dodge in time and was pushed down the steps of the hospital building by James.

Fortunately, Adam Jones reacted quickly, rushing in front of Elly and, before she fell, caught her around the waist.

"Elly, how are you?"

Elly, with her hands protecting her stomach, shook her head.

There was no pain in her stomach, but the push from James had truly frightened her.

If her family’s island leader hadn’t protected her in time, the child might have been in danger.

Elly’s complexion turned a deathly pale with fright, and she clutched Adam’s arm, shaking her head, voiceless.

The panicked look in Adam’s eyes turned deadly in the instant he looked at James. His face showed the murderous intent of Lord Yama from Hell.

The ferocity on James’s face didn’t fade, and there was even a trace of disappointment when he saw Elly being successfully protected by Adam.

The next second, James received a vicious kick to his stomach and stumbled back a few feet.

Seeing it was Adam, fear flickered in James’s eyes. But as he thought of the suffering his precious daughter, Sophie, had endured, his fear was replaced by anger.

Adam grabbed James by the collar and landed several punches on him, right and left, leaving James with a bruised and swollen face.

"If it weren’t for the fact that you share blood with Elly, I would have taken your life!"

James was almost entirely on the receiving end of Adam’s blows.

Now, he was truly frightened by Adam’s ferocity.

Adam, concerned for Elly and the child and not in the mood to deal with James, turned back to Elly and said,

"Are you okay? I can accompany you to get checked out."

He had plenty of time to deal with James later.

Although Elly didn’t feel any abnormalities at the moment, it was her own child. Worried that the shock might cause problems, she didn’t object and nodded to leave.

But James, perhaps truly treasuring his daughter Sophie as his life, saw Elly leaving and still cursed behind her,

"Elly Campbell, how can there be someone as venomous as you in this world? No matter what you say, she’s your sister. How could you cause her to be hit by a car? Do you know she almost lost her life?"

At this time, the hospital was bustling with people, and many had noticed when Adam first began to strike James.

Now, with James’s loud reprimanding, the crowd of onlookers, curious, grew.

James didn’t understand why, but by cursing at his legitimate daughter for a love child, he still felt he stood on the side of public opinion with more people around.

Seeing the crowd swell, a mix of satisfaction and rage rose in James’s heart.

Clutching his stomach where Adam had kicked him, and with a bruised face, he pointed at Elly, berating her,

"I know you don’t like Sophie, but no matter what, she’s still your sister by blood. How can you harm her like that? How can you be so cruel?"

Elly didn’t speak, but Adam couldn’t stand it any longer.

Just as he was about to step forward, Elly stopped him.

"It’s okay, let him talk."

Elly had long lost any expectations for her father James, so when he pointed and cursed at her, she took it as the ranting of a mad dog before her.
