Chapter 361: 361. Scammer_1

His eyes seemed to have a layer of ice, freezing Helen Melendy in place, "Helen Melendy, this time, we are truly done."

He turned and left. After walking a few steps, he stopped again with his back to her, "Don’t worry, I will handle things with my mom."

Hearing Harry Hall’s footsteps growing fainter behind her, Helen Melendy realized that all her strength had dissipated. She sat quietly on the bench, lost in her thoughts.

Due to the gastric bleeding, Adam Jones had a restless sleep and woke up not long after falling asleep.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he instinctively looked for Elly Campbell’s figure. The room’s lights were dim, but the warmth of the nightlight was enough for Adam to see everything in the hospital room clearly.

Elly Campbell was gone.

This realization caused Adam’s heart to suddenly sink. A familiar pain surged into his heart.

He sat up in bed, remained silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a self-mocking laugh with a hoarse voice, "Liar."

He finally understood what it felt like for Elly Campbell, back at home, waiting for him those years ago.

It serves me right! Truly, it serves me right!

He covered his face with his hands, laughing in a hoarse voice. With each laugh, an unfathomable suppression was heard. Although he was laughing, it sounded heartachingly sad.

After a while, the painful and oppressive laughter slowly subsided. Adam took his hands off his face, got out of bed, and, holding his still aching stomach, slowly walked to the water dispenser to pour himself a glass of water.

The door to the hospital room was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Adam’s action of taking water abruptly paused, and the next second, he violently looked up towards the door.

The moment that coveted figure appeared in his line of sight, a glimmer of light erupted from the depths of Adam’s dim eyes. A smile spread across his face in an instant.

Even his hands shook with excitement at that moment, a few drops of hot water spilled onto the back of his hand, but it didn’t make him feel pain.

When Elly Campbell pushed the door open and entered, she saw the tall figure by the water dispenser at a glance. He was looking at her with a face full of happiness.

His appearance was as if he had received the treasure he had long dreamt of. His usual calm and composed face was now filled with an uncontrollable smile.

"You’re back."

His voice was soft, and hoarseness from drinking lingered, but it couldn’t hide the happiness in his words.

Elly Campbell paused in the doorway for a moment. The next second, she reached out and turned on the room’s light. The room brightened instantly, as if it were daylight.

Adam Jones walked towards her, his face still showing a childlike bewilderment and secret delight, "I thought you had left."

His low and husky voice carried a tiny hint of grievance.

Elly Campbell bit her lip as she watched him, frustrated at the realization that she could still feel soft towards Adam at this time, and involuntarily furrowed her brows.

"Elly?"

Seeing her silent, Adam couldn’t help but quietly call out to her.

Elly came back to her senses, looked up at him, and said, "Sit down."

Adam looked at her thoughtfully, not understanding why, but feeling a familiar restlessness in his heart.

He sat as instructed while Elly pulled a chair over and sat down in front of him. She began very calmly, "Tell me, what have you found out?"

Adam was taken aback, not quite understanding what Elly was referring to, and looked at her confusedly, only to hear her say, "Eight years ago, the Brocade Cloud Hotel."
