Chapter 654: Do you want to tell him_1

Elly Campbell’s brow furrowed slightly when she received a text from Adam Jones asking about Helen Melendy’s condition.

Because the fetus inside Helen’s womb was not far along, the doctor performed a medication-induced abortion.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing Elly holding her phone with a troubled look on her face, Helen immediately asked.

Her face was almost bloodless, and she had watched with her own eyes as the undeveloped fetus, turned into clots of blood, slid from her body, wrenching her heart with pain.

But, not wanting to worry Elly, she put on a forced smile, suppressing the agony in her heart.

Elly showed Helen the message from Adam, and upon reading its content, Helen’s brows also knitted together slightly.

"Should we tell him?"

Without asking, both knew that Adam’s so-called mercy in asking about Helen’s condition was obviously at someone else’s request.

As for who made the request, it was clear there was only one person.

Helen’s hand, hanging by her side, clenched tightly, but she still shook her head, "No need, why tell him? We’ve broken up. Do I still expect him to come and visit me?"

As she spoke, she laughed self-deprecatingly and, gripping Elly’s hand, said, "Elly, thank you for being by my side and supporting me. I’ll be okay. As for me and Harry Hall..."

She paused here, pressing her dry lips together before she finally managed to continue,

"I found out I have uterine changes, maybe it’s fate. Fate ordained I should lose this child and also severed the only connection I had with Harry."

"Helen..."

Feeling the icy temperature of Helen’s nearly skeletal fingers, Elly couldn’t help but frown with sympathy.

Helen forced a smile and shook her head, "I’m fine, really, don’t worry about me."

Now that the child was gone, Elly also knew that no amount of consolation would be of any use.

So, she didn’t say much, only comforted Helen, "Take care of yourself. The surgery is scheduled for three days from now, I’ll be with you."

Not wanting to make the atmosphere between them too oppressive nor wanting to let this gloominess affect Helen’s mood any further, Elly took a deep breath and said,

"I still prefer the old Helen Melendy who was against everyone, bold and domineering. This frail version of you that could fall over with a breeze is just too ugly."

"Really?"

Knowing that Elly was trying to help her adjust her mood, Helen played along, touching her gaunt cheek and said anxiously,

"Really? Have I become very ugly?"

"Yes, horribly ugly, no one would want you now. So you better get well soon for me."

"Okay."

Helen nodded with a smile, stepped forward to hug Elly, and held back her sorrow as she embraced her tight, "Thank you, Elly."

Her voice was choked, and she didn’t want to seem too sad, but the slight tremble of her body gave her away as she hugged Elly.

After Helen fell asleep, Elly stepped out of the ward and then sent a text back to Adam.

"If Harry wants to know, let him come and ask himself. You stop meddling."

It took a good half-hour before his wife finally replied to the message.

The moment the notification sounded, Harry’s movements were even quicker than Adam’s, as he immediately took Adam’s phone to check it.

Seeing the content of the message, Harry instantly went silent.

And Adam Jones, who was beside him, naturally saw his wife’s reply and took his phone back straight away.
