Chapter 221: 221. What is Adam Jones plotting_1

After quickly washing up in the bathroom, she was ready to find James Churchill to handle her discharge, but the door was pushed open from the outside.

Looking up, she saw Adam Jones still wearing the clothes specially delivered to the hospital for him yesterday. Obviously, he hadn’t left and had slept here for the night?

Her gaze shifted subtly back to the folding chair by the bed, which could barely accommodate her height, and her heart was tinged with complex emotions.

It was hard to imagine what it felt like for his tall frame to squeeze into that recliner for a whole night.

Why did Adam do this?

Adam, however, didn’t notice the complexity in Elly Campbell’s eyes. Seeing her awake, he walked over and said, "You’re up so early, why not sleep a little longer?"

That voice, which may have been deliberately softened, made Elly instinctively furrow her brows, feeling uncomfortable as his presence closed in.

Silently sidestepping him, she walked to the head of the bed and pressed the call bell, then turned to Adam Jones and said, "Thank you for taking me to the hospital yesterday."

Expecting her next words to be another prompt for him to leave, he waited a few seconds, but after Elly Campbell finished giving thanks, she said nothing more.

This oppressive silence made Adam Jones somewhat uneasy. He glanced at his watch and said, "It’s still early. You should lie down and rest a bit longer."

"No need, I have urgent matters to attend to."

Thinking that her mobile phone must still be in Helen Melendy’s car, and not knowing if anyone from the company was looking for her, she needed to get back to the office as soon as possible.

Hearing Elly mention urgent matters, Adam naturally thought of the news from this morning. Elly Campbell had just woken up and probably didn’t know about it yet.

"You haven’t fully recovered yet, what can’t be handled by someone else?"

A few traces of dissatisfaction appeared on Adam Jones’ face.

Elly Campbell couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, and just at that moment, she heard the door open as James Churchill, responding to the bell, walked in.

Seeing Adam Jones still in the room, James displayed a face full of disdain, not even bothering to conceal it.

Without lingering on Adam Jones for too long, he turned to Elly Campbell and asked, "Why are you up so early?"

"I’m fine now, please proceed with my discharge today."

Elly Campbell said directly, as a doctor herself, she had a good grasp of her own condition.

James Churchill wanted to suggest she stay another day for observation, but seeing Elly so resolute, he had no choice but to say, "Then after eight, we’ll take another CT scan. If there’s nothing wrong, we’ll proceed with your discharge."

"Okay."

Elly Campbell didn’t insist, and with James suggesting this, she nodded her head.

James Churchill didn’t leave right away; he was off duty now after finishing a night shift. He glanced at his watch and said to Elly Campbell:

"Are you hungry? What would you like for breakfast? I’ll go get you something."

Elly Campbell was about to say it wasn’t necessary when Adam Jones could no longer stand it.

Did James Churchill think he was dead?

Without waiting for Elly Campbell to speak, he walked up to her side, shortening the distance between them, and said, "No need, I’ll get her breakfast."

James Churchill gave Adam Jones a faint look, directly ignoring him, and turned back to Elly, "What would you like to eat?"

The two men appeared calm but their standoff was like an imminent clash of swords, causing Elly Campbell to frown.

Not wanting them to start arguing in the hospital room, Elly shook her head and said, "Don’t bother, I’m not really hungry. You must be exhausted after working a whole night shift, you should go home and rest early."
