Chapter 348: 348. You don’t deserve _1

Adam already had a poor impression of her; she couldn’t let him grow to dislike her even more.

When Adam heard from Sophie Baker that Elly Campbell had left after bringing him here, a trace of disappointment inadvertently colored the depths of his eyes.

Seeing that he remained silent, and observing that his complexion turned darker after hearing that Elly Campbell had left him behind, Sophie assumed he was angry and felt a secret joy.

She seized the opportunity and began to speak, "Adam..."

However, her words had barely reached her lips before Adam’s icy gaze frightened them back down her throat.

"It seems you didn’t take my warning to heart," he said.

At Adam’s words, Sophie’s body trembled violently, clearly aware of what he was referring to.

Her face turned pale, and as she suddenly raised her eyes to Adam, tears welled up in her eyes in that instant.

"Adam, I know you have a misunderstanding about me, and I can explain. The incident with sending thugs to beat up my sister, it really wasn’t me. I only found out about it when my uncle was sent back home by Assistant Baker that day," she said.

Indeed, Sophie was not aware of this incident; she wasn’t foolish enough to commit such an overtly self-damaging act, so the grievance on her face held traces of sincerity.

But Adam didn’t care whether she was aggrieved or not, and had no intention of sparing her any dignity as he said, "Get out immediately."

"Adam..."

"And another thing, when I’m around, you better not show your face. Even if we happen to run into each other by chance, you should stay away from me, or I’ll hold you accountable for everything," he warned.

The coldness and ruthlessness in Adam’s eyes held not one ounce of reservation. It so rattled Sophie that she staggered, nearly falling over.

"Adam, aren’t you being a bit unreasonable?" she protested, gritting her teeth.

Using the little bit of past affection and her status as the second young miss of the Campbell family, Sophie gathered her courage to speak up.

"Reasonable?" Adam scoffed coldly, his eyes undisguised in their loathing, "You don’t deserve it."

Sophie’s complexion turned deathly white. Her eyes trembled and she gazed at Adam, wounded, wanting to say more, but Adam had no patience left to hear her out. Clutching his throbbing chest, he opened the door and left the hospital room.

He didn’t know what he intended to do; only that without Elly, the hospital room felt hollow and stifling to him.

Meanwhile, in another room on the same floor, Elly Campbell was sitting beside the Old Master’s bed, keeping him company with conversation.

"It’s getting late, Grandfather needs to rest. You should head back, be careful on your way," said the Old Master.

"I understand, Grandfather."

Elly helped the Old Master adjust his blanket, stood up, and prepared to leave. However, just then, her thoughts involuntarily drifted to Adam’s pallid face.

She frowned without realizing it and walked out the door.

The moment she stepped out, the door at the end of the corridor opened, Adam emerged from the room, and their gazes met just as another person rushed out, embracing Adam from behind.

"Adam, don’t treat me like this, Adam, I really love you..." implored Sophie.

Witnessing this scene, Elly visibly froze for a moment, while Adam’s expression immediately darkened, as if struck by some virus. He forcefully pushed Sophie away and his gaze shifted to Elly, his face carrying a hint of disarray.

Due to the gastric bleeding, his face was devoid of color, and having just pushed Sophie with force, his stomach began to convulse with pain again.
