Chapter 211: 211. My heart aches badly_1

The wound on her forehead was deep, and the blood stained half of her face, strikingly alarming and heart-wrenchingly painful.

Her face was extremely pale, her eyebrows furrowed from the pain. Adam Jones bent down to pick her up, and from time to time, Elly Campbell’s low groans of pain would reach his ears.

"Elly!!"

On duty, James Churchill’s heart jolted with fear when he saw the blood-red half of Elly Campbell’s face, and he rushed over quickly.

"Adam Jones, what have you done to Elly?!"

His face ashen, he clenched his teeth, looking at the expressionless Adam Jones, and growled his question.

Adam Jones found James Churchill very annoying and didn’t want to deal with him, but seeing the wound on Elly Campbell’s forehead, he still patiently responded in a deep voice:

"She was in a car accident; she’s hurt her head. Check her out."

James Churchill was prickly all over in Adam Jones’s presence, but he didn’t dare to delay, leading Adam Jones to the surgery area.

After carefully examining Elly Campbell’s wound, he stitched it very cautiously and bandaged it, then said to Adam Jones, "Take her to get a head CT to see if there are any other issues."

Adam Jones nodded, reached out to carry Elly Campbell, but was stopped by James Churchill.

Adam Jones had always found James Churchill unpleasant, and seeing him intervene, his face darkened in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?"

James Churchill ignored the fury in his eyes and faced him sternly, "Her forehead is badly injured. Who knows if there’s a concussion? Carrying her around like this could worsen her condition, don’t you think?"

Upon hearing this, Adam Jones’s usually unkind face stiffened slightly, and he drew back the hand he had extended, but his gaze did not move from Elly Campbell’s face for a moment.

James Churchill looked at him coldly, the man repulsed him in every way, and he couldn’t understand what Elly saw in him.

Although he despised him in his heart, he didn’t show it on the surface. Right now, Elly Campbell was deep asleep, so James Churchill did not try to wake her, but had the nurse take her to the CT room.

Adam Jones stood guard at the door, his mind somewhat agitated, filled with the image of Elly Campbell, blood-soaked and crouched on the ground, helpless, and also the sudden joy that flashed in her eyes upon seeing him.

He knew that wasn’t what Elly Campbell truly felt; she was just drunk, her memories jumbled, which is why she revealed the expression she had for him four years prior.

Looking into her eyes, he realized, for the first time, that during those three years by his side, she had always looked at him like that.

The happiness upon seeing him, the careful tiptoeing when she feared his anger, the endearing way she tried to please him...

Now, recalling those moments, his heart ached intensely.

He struggled to endure this feeling, which he found loathsome, but the dull pain still assailed his heart uncontrollably.

He took deep breaths over and over, trying to lessen the pain this feeling brought, only to discover it was in vain.

At that moment, the door to the CT room opened and James Churchill came out. Adam Jones immediately went to Elly Campbell’s side; she was still in a deep sleep, breathing steadily.

But the wound on her forehead appeared jarringly conspicuous, the bright red blood making the pain in Adam Jones’s heart surge even more fiercely.

"How is she?"

Adam Jones looked towards James Churchill, his deep voice tinged with a hint of hoarseness.

"A slight concussion. We will keep her in the hospital for observation for a couple of days."

After James Churchill finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Adam Jones to respond and had Elly Campbell taken to the top-floor VIP ward.
