Chapter 376: 376. This is the best outcome so far_1

Now in Boston, her grandfather was her only concern. She couldn’t just leave him alone in the hospital and walk away.

James Campbell, that shameless man, might do something to make her grandfather ill with anger.

"Oh, like that..."

Adam Jones’s voice carried a faint disappointment, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.

The two of them just stood there in silence, neither speaking, and the atmosphere grew so quiet that it became somewhat awkward.

A moment later, Elly Campbell was the first to break the silence, "You should go in and rest."

"Where are you going?"

Seeing Elly Campbell about to leave, he instinctively reached out and grabbed her. He knew he shouldn’t always be clinging to her like this, but he couldn’t control himself.

Until he realized he had misunderstood Elly Campbell, he found it impossible to let her go. After realizing the heinous things he had done, his regret and self-reproach were endless. All he wanted was to make amends to her.

Even if the compensation was too late, it was better than nothing at all.

Elly Campbell looked down at the hand grasping her wrist, slender and strong, yet pale from illness.

She struggled to break free a couple of times but didn’t succeed, and with furrowed brows, she looked at Adam Jones and said, "We’ve made everything clear. What else do you want?"

She looked at Adam Jones and scoffed, "Don’t tell me you still think I was responsible for what happened back then?"

"Of course not."

Adam Jones denied it without any hesitation.

Although he hadn’t figured out who was behind it, he believed her after she explained what had happened back then.

Or rather, his subconscious had already believed her even before that.

"That’s enough then. Since you believe it wasn’t me, our issues have been clarified. Why do you keep clinging to me?"

When Elly Campbell said this, her face was expressionless, even a bit ruthless.

Just as she had told Helen Melendy, she couldn’t let go of Adam Jones. If she didn’t become a bit more heartless, she might never be able to let go.

"I stayed last night to take care of you, as a courtesy for the little connection we had when we first met. You have no right to ask anything more of me now."

Adam Jones felt even more pain in his heart. There was nothing he could say to defend himself; all he wanted was to make up for his mistakes to her.

"Elly, I’m not asking for us to go back to the past; I just want a new beginning."

He looked at her pleadingly, "I’m not asking you to forgive me, but can you give me a chance to make amends, please?"

Elly Campbell shook her head, her expression resolute, "There’s no need for compensation, really."

She deliberately ignored the sad and somewhat humble expression on Adam Jones’s face and said:

"Actually, there’s something else I kept from you. The Campbell corporate crisis that I begged you to help me with was my own doing. I merely used it as an excuse to marry you. So, those three years were voluntary. You really don’t need to make amends to me. Let’s end it here; that’s the best outcome."

Adam Jones, upon hearing Elly Campbell’s words, was a bit surprised, yet he didn’t find it unbelievable.

He had sensed back then that the crisis at Campbell could be resolved without the Jones’s funds and knew someone had a hand in it, but he never expected it to be Elly Campbell herself.
