Chapter 224: 224. Always Encountering Idiots_1

Hearing she was about to return to Alaska, Adam Jones was somewhat reluctant, but still handed her the phone.

Elly Campbell called Helen Melendy, and Helen soon picked up.

"Helen."

"Elly, where are you?"

After telling Helen Melendy she was at the hospital, Elly decided to wait there for her.

"Thank you."

After returning the phone to Adam, she once again distantly voiced her thanks and did not engage in much conversation with Adam.

William Campbell had been staying with her mother these past few days, and she wondered if he was causing trouble wanting to find her.

Thinking of William made Elly reflect on the custody battle she had lost, and her mood instantly plummeted.

Adam saw her face instantly cloud over, and a sharp pain struck his heart, guessing that it must be because she was thinking of her son William.

Remembering how she had called out in emotional distress, saying she hated him when she had been unconscious the night before, Adam felt that raw nerve in his heart throb with even greater intensity.

After a moment of hesitation, he spoke, "About William..."

"What? Worried I’ll take William from you?"

At the mention of "William," Elly bristled all over, her previously soft demeanor turning into that of a porcupine with spikes raised, and her icy, piercing gaze made Adam ache all over.

Adam frowned, wanting to say he didn’t mean it like that, but he was interrupted by a voice brimming with joy, "Brother!"

Lily Jones.

The moment Elly heard that voice, her head ached. If Lily didn’t trouble her for a day, it seemed Elly could not even live peacefully.

Sure enough, just as Elly thought this, Lily’s next sentence followed, "Why are you still clinging to my brother after you’ve already divorced?"

Lily had already approached her, and alongside her stood Sophie Baker.

Elly wondered if those two were conjoined twins, always together no matter where they went.

Not wanting to argue with Lily, she merely glanced at her and continued sitting in the hospital, waiting for Helen.

But it seemed that Lily truly must have had a grudge against Elly in their past life; she couldn’t seem to live properly without provoking Elly whenever she saw her.

Seeing Elly ignore her, and thinking it was because Elly felt guilty, Lily grew even more invigorated.

"Elly Campbell..."

Before Lily could say more than a few words, she was cut off by a stern, cold warning from Adam, "Lily Jones!"

The chilly note of warning in his voice made Lily involuntarily shiver.

But believing she was the only family Adam had left in this world apart from their grandmother, and that no matter how much she upset him, he would never be harsh with her, especially since she was only speaking about his ex-wife.

He hadn’t stood up for Elly when they were married, so how could he stand up for her now as an ex-wife?

Convinced of this in her mind, Lily didn’t take Adam’s warning seriously and said, "I’m not wrong, am I? You just divorced yesterday, and today she’s already clinging to you. Don’t you know what she is after?"

On the side, Elly couldn’t help but laugh. Lily must have been spoiled by Adam to the point of stupidity, right?

Spouting such nonsense without even understanding the situation?

"Lily Jones, if you don’t know how to shut up, then leave this place now. It’s not your place to meddle in my affairs!"

Adam’s face darkened with impatience that could no longer be suppressed, and Sophie Baker, originally wanting to watch from the sidelines, saw Adam’s darkening expression and knew that if she didn’t take Lily away, she herself might get dragged into it.
