Chapter 365: 365.Can’t bear to_1

Elly Campbell only then noticed that something was off about him; she felt his hand on her wrist, ice-cold, and her heart suddenly tightened as she frowned and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

"Noth..."

He had barely spoken when another mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, soaking his shirtfront red; the bleeding was quite heavy.

"Adam Jones!"

As she watched his complexion grow increasingly dreadful right before her eyes, panic suddenly surged in his formerly serene gaze.

"Elly, give me one more chance..."

His body swayed, no longer able to support himself; yet his hand used all his remaining strength to grasp hers as though afraid she would leave the moment he lost consciousness.

When James Churchill arrived, Adam had already fainted, his complexion so ghastly that it made James frown. After a round of urgent care, Adam’s condition was barely stabilized.

"Heart rate too fast, blood pressure too low, severe shock symptoms... What happened just now?"

James took off his mask and looked at Elly, whose face was as still as water, his brows furrowed as he spoke.

"What mischief is he up to again? In the dead of night, instead of lying down and sleeping, why get up and walk around? Does he not realize how serious his condition is?"

Elly stood in front of the hospital bed, listening to James’ reproachful voice and looking at the unconscious Adam without a word.

Seeing the color off Elly’s face, James’s tone paused for a moment, not knowing whether to be angry or to laugh, "What did you say to agitate him this time?"

Elly lifted her eyes to look at him, her voice devoid of emotion as she replied, "Nothing."

James didn’t know what the two had talked about in the hospital room, and Elly wouldn’t share much about her private matters with Adam; he didn’t ask further, only saying:

"Even though I find this guy quite distasteful, as a doctor, I still dutifully inform you that his gastric disease is very serious, caused by long-term irregular eating. We’ve managed to control today’s acute gastric hemorrhage, but it’s still somewhat dangerous. I advise you better not to stimulate him."

Hearing this, Elly immediately thought of what Harry Hall had told her.

In the four years she was away, he had searched for her like a madman. Later, he poured all his energy into work, and the long-term irregular eating habits led to his severe chronic gastric disease.

Thinking of this, Elly’s brows furrowed even more tightly.

James watched her expression silently; after a while, he sighed helplessly, crossing his arms in front of Elly, and gesturing with his chin towards the unconscious Adam on the hospital bed, saying:

"If you are worried about him, wait until he’s a bit better before you go back. This guy, being able to torment himself like this, indeed has some skill."

James’s words made Elly frown, and she retorted almost instinctively, "Who’s worried about someone like him?"

Hearing her say this, James chuckled softly and said, "Fine then, since you’re not worried, I’ll go and remove his IV drip, let him fend for himself."

As he said this, he pretended to go and remove the needle from Adam’s hand but was quickly stopped by Elly reaching out her hand.

James looked at her with a teasing smile, raising an eyebrow, "Can’t bear to?"

Elly felt uncomfortable under his gaze, her brows furrowed as she gave him a push, saying:

"Enough, stop teasing me. It’s late; you should go back and rest too."

After all, as her colleague for several years, and being someone who always cared about her, James naturally had a certain understanding of her.
