Chapter 375: 375. Afraid You’re Being Bullied_1

Old Master waved his hand casually, patting Elly Campbell’s hand, "Elly, don’t worry, with Grandpa here, you won’t be mistreated. I am the head of the Campbell Family, and those two things, even though your dad brought them into our family, they won’t become part of the Campbell Family."

Now that her own mother had divorced James Campbell, Elly didn’t really care about Sophie Baker and her daughter entering the family, but hearing the Old Master protect her this way made her very happy inside.

"I understand, Grandpa, thank you," she said.

After the grandparent and grandchild talked for a while, someone knocked on the door. Linstad pushed the door open and said to the Old Master, "Old Master, Lady Jones is here to see you."

Following that, the white-haired but spirited Old Lady Jones walked in with a smile, "Old Campbell, are you feeling any better?"

Seeing Elly there, Old Lady Jones was even more delighted, "Elly is here too. Just now, Adam mentioned that you took care of him all night yesterday, you really went to a lot of trouble."

Hearing Old Lady Jones’s words, the Old Master also brightened up, turning his gaze towards Elly with surprise, which made Elly feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Um... well, Assistant Baker had some trouble at home last night, and since I was there, I just... didn’t really do much, just helped him watch over the IV...," she explained somewhat deliberately, but the more she explained, the more awkward it sounded.

Especially seeing that knowing look in both the Old Master and Old Lady’s eyes that said "we understand," she felt very uncomfortable.

"Uh... you two talk; I’ll step out for a moment."

As she opened the door to leave, recalling the way the two elders had looked at her still made her feel very uneasy.

Adam Jones’s hospital room wasn’t far from the Old Master’s room, there were only two VIP rooms on the floor, located on opposite sides of the hallway.

As Elly walked down the hallway, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Adam’s room. After hesitating, she still didn’t go over.

Just as she was about to look away, she saw Adam’s room door open, and Adam himself walked out looking somewhat irritable.

But when he lifted his eyes and saw her, he paused for a moment, then his face broke into a trace of joy, and he quickly walked towards her, "Elly, you’re back."

In his deep voice, he couldn’t suppress the hint of happiness, Elly looked at his still pale face, and frowned, saying,

"Why are you out again?"

Adam, seeing the displeasure on her face, looked somewhat flustered, pursed his lips, approached her, and said in a low voice, "I was worried about you."

Elly was somewhat surprised by his answer, she looked up at him, "What?"

"You went to see James Campbell, I was afraid they would bully you."

But on second thought, the idea of Elly being bullied by James Campbell seemed to be an unnecessary worry on his part, and with that in mind, he glanced at Elly’s indifferent manner, pursed his lips, and said self-deprecatingly,

"My concern was perhaps unnecessary."

Elly didn’t respond to his remark, simply saying, "The doctor said the bleeding in your stomach is quite serious, you’d better not move about so much. Hurry back and lie down."

"What about you?"

Adam asked reflexively, looking up at Elly with a touch of anticipation in his eyes.

His hand, hanging by his side, tightened subconsciously due to nervousness.

Facing the hope emanating from those dark pupils, Elly subconsciously looked away a bit.

Without looking at Adam, she said, "I’ve already taken care of what I came here for in Boston. Once Grandpa is discharged, I’ll be going back."
