Chapter 458: 458. Help him bandage the wound_1

Adam Jones had intended to say it didn’t hurt, but when confronted with his wife’s worried eyes, he immediately nodded, frowning as he said, "Yeah, it hurts a lot."

"Bear with it."

Adam Jones: "..."

He had thought his wife would at least comfort him gently, or say "then I’ll be gentle," or perhaps "let wife blow on it," but instead, she coldly smacked him down with those two words.

Seeing his astonished expression, Elly Campbell averted her gaze, her lips curving slightly as she began to tend to his wound.

Because of the anesthetic, Elly’s stitching didn’t cause Adam much feeling, and he watched the woman half-kneeling before him just like that time in the hotel.

But, despite the similar situation, his mood was surprisingly different.

That time, he deeply felt like Elly was going to leave him for good, and that feeling of losing the whole world in an instant made him profoundly understand what ’living in pain’ truly meant.

This time, though she was still fierce towards him, it made him feel like they were somehow closer.

She was fierce, but not distant, and to him, that was a significant improvement.

Elly stitched up his wound quickly; in just a couple of minutes, it was done.

Then, grabbing the gauze, she wrapped it around him, layer by layer. After the bandaging, she lifted her head and said, "When the anesthesia wears off, it will..."

She hadn’t expected Adam’s face to be so close, and as she looked up, her lips landed right on Adam’s chin, trapping all her words in her throat.

The soft touch on his chin made Adam’s body stiffen suddenly as well, a current rushing through his heart, causing him to shiver all over.

His eyes became hot and intense, fixed on Elly’s tender, rosy lips, his Adam’s apple moving involuntarily.

Confronted with the passion in Adam’s eyes and the awkward touch from before, Elly’s face suddenly flushed red.

But the living room’s lights were too dim to make it noticeable.

She steadied her mind, pursed her slightly dry lips, and said, "After the drug’s effect fades, it will hurt a bit, you..."

Suddenly, a forceful grip on the back of her head pushed her towards Adam, and following that, Adam’s kiss fell upon her slightly agape mouth, taken aback by surprise.

Adam, at this moment, seemed a bit excited, and the emotions he had been holding back seemed ready to burst out in an instant.

He kissed her more and more fervently, his tongue prying open Elly’s teeth and aggressively sweeping over her sweetness with a sense of conquest.

Elly, kissed breathless by Adam, pushed at his shoulders with all her might, but due to the absolute difference in strength, she couldn’t push him away at all.

After what felt like an eternity, just as Elly thought she was about to pass out, Adam finally released her.

She gasped for air, hands on her chest, her eyes fiery as she glared at Adam, who looked completely satisfied. Seeing him looking at her gently, with undeniable affection and indulgence in his eyes,

Her planned scolding was choked back by his deep, affectionate gaze. She forcefully rubbed her swollen lips and glared at him indignantly before rising to head upstairs.

"Elly."

Adam stood up and walked over to her, his hands ghosting around her body, and as he looked down at her with lowered brows, he seized the moment to peck her on the lips, making the anger in her eyes flare up again.
