Chapter 350: 350. Really afraid of driving her away_1

Adam Jones never let go of her hand, his eyes fixed on her intently, like a willful child.

Although his face showed no emotion, his complexion was growing increasingly unsightly.

"Okay, let’s go in," he said.

Seeing that Elly Campbell finally agreed to get down, Adam’s face lit up with joy, but he kept holding on to her arm without letting go.

Elly helped him into the room, both of them completely ignoring Sophie Baker who was standing in the corridor outside, still pretending to be pitiful.

Sophie hadn’t expected that when Elly saw her holding Adam, there would be no reaction at all. Not only did Elly not abandon Adam and leave, but she even stayed to accompany him.

Remembering how humbly Adam had acted in front of Elly just a moment ago, compared to earlier in the hospital room when he seemed to loathe her very existence, Sophie’s teeth itched with hatred.

Even hugging Adam couldn’t goad Elly; she couldn’t stand it.

She always lost to Elly, why? Why?

And at this moment, nobody cared what was going through Sophie’s mind. Once Elly had helped Adam into the hospital room with a stern face, she told him to lie down immediately.

"If you don’t want to die, lay still and don’t move."

Elly spoke somewhat harshly, but Adam obediently lay down like a child; when she told him to lie down, he lay down.

The wrenching pain in his stomach hadn’t subsided, but because Elly was there, he felt that he could bear the pain.

Elly watched him silently as he clutched at his stomach, his face turning pale in waves; her heart sank, and she said, "Lie still, don’t move, I’m going to call the doctor over."

She reached for the call button, but Adam stopped her, "No need."

"Adam Jones!"

Elly’s face turned cold, about to speak, only to be met with Adam’s imploring look, "Aren’t you a doctor? Your examination would be just the same."

He really didn’t want anyone else to come in and disturb them right now, especially James Churchill, that third wheel.

Elly looked at him sternly and then noticed that there was a slight swelling on the back of his hand, and a bloody trace.

It was clear that the needle originally inserted into the back of his hand had been pulled out forcibly.

Elly’s face darkened even more as her gaze shifted to the IV stand beside the bed. Indeed, only half of the fluid in it had been used, and there was a puddle on the floor from the liquid that had dripped from the tube.

"Adam Jones!!"

Elly, fuming, saw Adam and realized she seemed truly furious. Having finally convinced her to stay, he didn’t dare to risk driving her away at this point, so he reluctantly said:

"If you want to call the doctor, then go ahead."

Elly gave him an icy glare, grabbed the disinfectant from the bedside table, took his hand, and cleaned the wound on the back of his hand. Then she grabbed the IV needle, sterilized it, and proceeded to reinsert it.

Her movements appeared rough and brusque, but when inserting the needle, she subconsciously did it with a lighter touch.

Once everything was set up, she looked up at Adam and said, "If you pull out the needle again, I am not going to look after you anymore."

Facing Elly’s fierce demeanor, Adam didn’t speak. He just smiled warmly at her, his smile reaching his eyes, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

Elly felt bewildered by his words, finding them somewhat awkward to listen to, and decided to outright ignore them.

"You rest. I’ll keep an eye on the IV for you," she said in a cold tone, pulling over a chair to sit down, picking up her phone to deal with company matters, and no longer paying any attention to Adam Jones.
