Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 478: 478. Tripped_1

William Campbell was so engrossed as he walked that he didn’t notice the situation around him, tripping when someone suddenly cut in front of him, his body completely unable to stop in time.

Seeing William about to fall, Elly Campbell didn’t have time to think; since one foot was tied to William’s, she could only turn sideways, using her body to protect him while trying to avoid bringing him down with her other foot.

However, as a result of trying to do so, she and William both ended up falling to the ground.

Because she protected him, William was not hurt from the fall, whereas she herself hit her knee hard on the ground, and when she fell, her hand scraped against the ground leaving a bloody mark, the pain causing her to unconsciously furrow her brow.

Meanwhile, the parent who tripped William seemed oblivious, continuing to lead her son towards the finish line.

Elly Campbell helped her son up, "Baby, let mommy see if there’s any..."

Before she could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared beside her, and the same William who had been in front of her was abruptly pushed to the side.

"Are you hurt, let me see..."

Adam Jones anxiously lifted her from the ground, but as for his son...

Nonexistent.

Elly Campbell: "..."

With so many people surrounding them and all eyes on her, Elly Campbell’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly said, "I’m fine, put me down."

"No! I’m taking you to the Health Room to get checked out."

At this moment, many parents crowded around, their faces showing concern, whether sincere or not, expressing their care and good intentions at this time.

"Mrs. Campbell, are you all right?"

"Mrs. Campbell, you should have the school nurse check you out to see if you’ve broken any bones."

"..."

Being held by Adam Jones in front of so many people made Elly Campbell’s face grow even hotter.

"Adam Jones, put me down!"

She clenched her molars, glared at Adam Jones, and whispered fiercely.

Seeing her serious face, Adam reluctantly began to set her down slowly, "Are you sure you’re alright?"

"I’m fine."

Elly Campbell shook her head, her knee was just a bit sore, but she wasn’t about to make a big deal out of it, not to the point of needing Adam Jones to carry her to the Health Room.

Adam took her hand and noticed some abrasions on her palm, faint lines of blood emerging, his expression darkening dramatically.

His cold gaze turned frosty in an instant and landed on the woman who had tripped William.

The woman, upon receiving Adam’s look, was frightened, her hand shaking unconsciously as she held her son’s.

Director Drago, who had stayed out of the way due to Adam’s presence, rushed over as soon as he saw Elly and her son fall.

"Mr. Jones, is Mrs. Jones all right? I will get the school nurse to come over right away."

"No need."

Elly Campbell didn’t want all the fuss over a trivial matter, not wanting to appear overly sensitive and immediately refused.

Noticing Adam Jones’s gaze still fixed on the mother and son, she frowned slightly.

She too had noticed that the other mom had deliberately tripped William, but she didn’t know if it was to win the race or for some other reason.

Under normal circumstances, she would never let such a person off the hook, yet everyone was enjoying the sports day event and she didn’t want to spoil her son’s fun over such a small incident, so she gently tugged on Adam’s clothes and said:

"Let it go, don’t delay everyone else’s time, we can talk about it after the sports day is over."
