Chapter 552: 552. Kiss me as a reward_1

"Not yet, I flew back before even getting off the plane."

Adam Jones didn’t hide anything from her, hugging her tender body, and pleasingly, cheekily said, "I came all this way back, sat on a plane for 26 hours straight, don’t you think I deserve some sort of reward?"

Elly Campbell glanced at him indifferently and knowing he was trying to coax her, she replied, "Great kindness needs no thanks."

"You’re right, you don’t need to say thank you. Just kiss me as a reward."

As he spoke, Adam shamelessly moved his face closer, only to be pushed aside by Elly Campbell who raised her hand and said, "Shameless."

"Then how about a kiss on the lips."

As he spoke, he moved his lips closer again. Just as Elly Campbell was about to raise her hand to cover his mouth, Adam caught her wrist and immediately pressed a kiss onto her lips.

Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, Elly Campbell’s phone rang.

Picking up her phone, Elly Campbell saw it was a call from William Campbell’s homeroom teacher, her heart suddenly skipping a beat, and she hurriedly answered the call.

"Miss Davis... What happened to William... Alright, I’m on my way."

Adam’s face darkened at the same time, a certain frostiness flashing through his eyes.

When the couple arrived at the hospital where William was, Director Drago and William’s homeroom teacher Miss Davis were both there waiting. Upon seeing them, they immediately greeted them.

"Where is William?"

"Mr. Jones, rest assured, William is fine. He was just frightened."

At that moment, William was waiting in the hospital’s rest room, sitting there with a bottle of warm milk in his hand.

"Daddy, Mommy."

Seeing his parents approach, William immediately stood up from his chair and ran towards them.

"Baby, are you alright?"

"I’m fine. Aunt Clark got hurt by a bad guy trying to protect me; now Doctor Uncle is treating her wounds."

"Aunt Clark?"

Elly Campbell thought about University of Science and Technology in Alaska, and also of Lynn Clark, who was a graduate of that school.

Although there was no evidence, she couldn’t help but link this incident at the company with Lynn Clark.

"That’s right, Mrs. Jones. Those people were trying to forcibly take William away, but Miss Clark happened to be there. She rushed up and held William tightly without letting go, and one of the attackers stabbed her in the arm with a dagger. She’s still in the operating room, and the doctors are treating her wounds."

Lynn Clark was previously William’s nanny, and it was she who took him to and from school, so Miss Davis was familiar with her.

"So you’re saying that Miss Clark happened to come across William when he was being taken away?"

"Yes. She came to the kindergarten at noon to deliver some clothes for the children and stumbled upon the incident."

Such a coincidence.

Elly Campbell narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. She didn’t want to think too badly of anyone, but Lynn Clark’s past behaviors, along with many coincidences at this time, forced her to suspect Lynn Clark.

When Lynn Clark came out of the operating room, her arm had been bandaged. Because she had lost a lot of blood, her face was still a bit pale.

Seeing the couple, she pursed her lips and cautiously greeted them, "Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones."

Elly Campbell’s gaze moved to Lynn Clark’s arm, and she said, "We owe you a lot for this time, William was lucky to have you."

"Please, Mrs. Jones, don’t say that. I’ve looked after William for so long and have grown very fond of him. How could I stand by and watch him being taken by bad people?"

Lynn Clark waved her hand vigorously, but because she moved too abruptly, she tugged at the wound on her arm and instinctively cried out in pain.
