Chapter 636: 636. Scared my heart into skipping a beat_1

So much so that when he learned his wife was coming up, he couldn’t focus on a single word in the document.

But after a long wait, the elevator went up and down several times, and Elly Campbell still hadn’t appeared. Adam Jones’s face inevitably sank.

Putting down the documents in his hand, he stood up and walked out of his office.

Everyone at the secretarial office, including Robert Green, saw their boss with a darkened face emerge from his office and were too frightened to even breathe loudly.

Adam’s gaze shifted toward Robert Green, and the chill emanating from his eyes caused Robert’s heart to tremble involuntarily three times.

"Where’s Elly?"

Adam asked with a darkened expression, his voice deep.

Robert, mustering up the courage, walked up with a forced grin and gingerly touched his nose, saying:

"The lady... she came to see CEO Hall, and she left just... just a few minutes ago."

Seeing his boss’s face grow colder as if to form ice, Robert dared not meet his gaze.

Adam stood still, silent for several seconds, then went back through the door into his office.

She specifically came to see Harry Hall?

It seemed she was truly concerned about her friend Helen Melendy, much more so than for her own husband.

Adam was somewhat annoyed, realizing he had been blocked on Elly’s phone, which made him even more sullen.

Worried about Helen being alone in the hospital, Elly left the Jones Corporation and made another trip to the hospital.

When she entered the hospital room, Helen was still sleeping, her face almost devoid of color, fragile as if a breeze could sweep her away.

After tucking her in, Elly went to visit Chief Wood in the Gynecology Department again.

Due to the hospital’s surgery schedule being full, Chief Wood could only arrange for Helen to have the pregnancy termination first, followed by the surgery to remove the uterine lesion later.

"Elly!"

As she came out of the Gynecology Department, she heard someone calling her.

It was James Churchill, who had just finished his rounds and was coming out of a ward.

"James."

Seeing her long-missed friend, Elly felt slightly lifted from her depressed mood.

"When did you get back?"

Online discussions about the relationship between Adam and Elly had been fervent recently, and James was naturally aware of them.

Lately, Adam, the Old Lady of the Jones Family, and the Jones’s Official Twitter had consecutively come forward to publicly acknowledge Elly’s identity as the Young Miss of the Jones Family.

James had always known that there wasn’t much of a chance between himself and Elly. Although he felt some regret, he was relieved to see that Elly was willing to reconcile with Adam, who must have made considerable efforts.

As long as Elly was happy with Adam, he could live with that regret.

James thought to himself, then heard Elly say, "I came back a few days ago."

"I have the day off. Let’s go have a coffee together."

"Sure."

Elly agreed, seeing that Helen was still going to sleep for a while.

The café they went to was not far from the hospital, just a short walk away.

"Why are you at the hospital today? Planning to come back and continue being a doctor?"

After ordering coffee, James sat in front of her and joked.

Elly laughed and shook her head, saying, "I have thought about continuing to be a doctor, but now is not the time."

She didn’t share her plans with James; she simply replied:

"My friend is sick and hospitalized. I’m here to keep her company."

As she spoke, she roughly explained Helen’s early uterine condition to James, leaving out the part about Helen’s pregnancy.
