Chapter 122: 122. Let her go die_1

Adam Jones also began to laugh, "Whether you can actually get a divorce is another matter, but at least for now, you’re not qualified to covet Elly Campbell."

James Churchill’s smile at the corner of his mouth grew wider, then he regained his composure and said, "Adam Jones, you really have the nerve to emphasize that you’re Elly’s husband. Have you ever fulfilled a husband’s responsibilities over these years? Do you have any idea what Elly has been through all these years?"

Adam Jones frowned. He could stand his ground on just about anything, but when it came to matters regarding Elly Campbell, he had no confidence at all.

"I won’t let Elly suffer a bad reputation. Until she’s divorced, I won’t have any improper relationships with her, but Adam Jones, do you think Elly would ever have a change of heart towards an arrogant domestic abuser like you? Spare me your pathetic husband act in my presence."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Stop right there!"

Adam Jones was intent on picking a fight and shouted sharply just as James Churchill turned to leave.

"When did I ever commit domestic abuse against Elly Campbell?"

He admitted to intentionally neglecting Elly Campbell for those three years, but he’d never laid a hand on her; what constituted domestic abuse?

Was this what Elly Campbell was saying about him outside?

He didn’t care how the outside world viewed or judged him, but if it was Elly Campbell saying so, he was very displeased.

"Hmph! Isn’t emotional neglect also domestic abuse?"

James Churchill gave him a disdainful roll of his eyes and strode away with large steps while Adam Jones stood there, dumbstruck.

Adam Jones’s face darkened at the final comment left by James Churchill, but he couldn’t deny its truth.

For those three years, the emotional abuse he had subjected Elly Campbell to was probably even more distressing than physical violence.

Meanwhile, Elly Campbell, who had just ended her shift, was completely unaware of the confrontation occurring below on her behalf. Back in the ward office, she made a phone call to Helen Melendy to ensure she was all right, then began the ward rounds for the day.

When she arrived at Lily Jones’s room, as soon as she entered, she saw Lily Jones and Sophie Baker chatting and laughing. They seemed to be enjoying a happy conversation about something.

At this moment, Christopher Moore wasn’t in the room; only Lily Jones and Sophie Baker were present.

As soon as Lily Jones saw Elly Campbell, her expression soured, and she muttered "what a killjoy" under her breath without even greeting her.

Without Christopher Moore there, Sophie Baker didn’t bother to cozy up to Elly Campbell, especially upon witnessing her own sister-in-law giving Elly the cold shoulder. Sophie Baker relished the scene.

Lily Jones had always been hostile towards Elly Campbell, which Sophie Baker knew well. Right now, sitting there, she hoped that Lily Jones would make Elly Campbell feel uncomfortable.

The thought of Elly Campbell, such an arrogant person, losing face in front of Lily Jones filled Sophie Baker with a sense of glee, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

Elly Campbell didn’t miss the look of gloating on Sophie Baker’s face. She didn’t even spare her a glance, walking straight up to Lily Jones and bending down to examine her.

"Have you felt any discomfort these past few days?"

She asked in a formal tone. Because Christopher Moore wasn’t there, Lily Jones didn’t bother to conceal her disdain for Elly Campbell and scoffed at her question.

"Aren’t you a doctor? Can’t you tell if I’m uncomfortable or not?"

Elly Campbell knew Lily Jones was trying to make her feel awkward. If it had been before, she might have shown some consideration for Lily, but now...

She couldn’t care less!

"Lily Jones, it’s your life. Whether you cooperate with me or not, I have no opinion. Stop acting like a spoiled heiress in front of me, I certainly don’t rely on the Jones family for my livelihood."
