Chapter 121: 121. The turbulent secret affair between two men_1

"Madam, this is your bag."

"Thank you."

Elly took it, said thanks, and headed toward the hospital building. She had only taken a few steps when she heard someone calling her, "Elly."

Elly turned around and saw James Churchill approaching her with a rascal-like smile, his gaze subtly shifting to glance at Robert Green, who was standing behind her.

"I was about to go have breakfast, do you want to join me?"

"I have already eaten. I’m about to change shifts with the on-call doctor. You better go eat."

"Alright then."

James seemed a bit disappointed as he shrugged his shoulders. At that moment, Adam Jones arrived, and the two of them bumped into each other.

Because of the last banquet incident and the hospital gossip about James and Elly’s relationship, Adam harbored a very intense hostility towards James.

His gaze became naturally deeper when looking at James.

Elly saw Adam coming but didn’t stop to wait for him, she acknowledged James with a greeting and walked on.

James smiled and nodded a greeting to Adam, "President Jones, here to see your sister?"

The seemingly casual greeting carried an undercurrent of provocation, which Adam could clearly discern. His sharp thin lips curled up slightly, and he deliberately said, "I just had breakfast with my wife and dropped her off at work in passing."

Adam’s words conveyed quite a bit of information: one, that they had breakfast together, which very likely meant they had stayed together the night before; and two, that there had been some kind of reconciliation between Elly and Adam.

Upon hearing this, James’s expression changed for a moment, but he quickly masked it with a laugh, "I always thought President Jones only knew how to pamper Miss Baker, but it turns out you’re equally attentive to Elly."

He intentionally mentioned Sophie Baker, obviously reminding Adam of the divorce matter between him and Elly.

Adam’s expression darkened, and as their eyes met, they both saw a confrontation brimming with challenge.

"Elly is my wife, of course I’ll take care of her. Unlike Doctor Matt, who doesn’t even have a female companion and needs to borrow someone else’s wife for appearances."

James’s smiling lips froze for a half a second as he looked into Adam’s deep eyes, his own eyes narrowing, clearly displeased.

Helen, who witnessed this confrontation between the two men, secretly wiped away sweat.

The lady surely didn’t know that two men were competing for her in secret.

"Yes, who makes me so faithful? Not like President Jones, who is such a philanderer."

Hiding the dangerous gleam at the bottom of his eyes, James looked at Adam and laughed, his words still laced with provocation.

"I still need to have breakfast, so I won’t delay President Jones any longer."

James stared at Adam, resentful and itching to punch the man – such a philanderer, why wouldn’t Elly consider remarrying just because of him!

"Doctor Matt!"

As James was cursing to his heart’s content internally, Adam suddenly called out to him.

James stopped and turned around, seeing Adam approaching with a cold face, "Does President Jones have any further instructions?"

Adam stood in front of him, neither of them yielding an inch in stature, both exerting a heavy sense of authority.

Adam narrowed his eyes and told James, "What relationship I have with other women is none of Doctor Matt’s business. I just hope Doctor Matt remembers one thing—Elly is currently my wife, Adam Jones’s lawful spouse. Please keep your unsophisticated thoughts to yourself and stay away from my wife."

Facing Adam’s low warning, James just raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, his sneer laced with irony, "President Jones must be too busy with important things, have you forgotten that Elly wants a divorce from you?"
