Chapter 735: 735. Spin, jump, close your eyes _1

Although both of them were accompanying William Campbell on the beach, there was hardly any interaction between them, more like strangers who had just met.

After returning from the hospital yesterday, her island owner husband had taken the initiative to "explain" to her that he had told his pretend brother the truth about Helen Melendy terminating her pregnancy.

Elly had thought that since Harry Hall was now aware of the hardship Helen had faced in making her decision, their relationship might ease a bit, and of course, she would’ve been happy to see such an outcome.

But now... it was obviously not as she had expected.

Elly shook her head in her mind. There was no need to ask; she knew it must be because of Helen herself.

She understood her best friend all too well, stubborn as she was. Once fixed on something, Helen would obsess over it endlessly unless she came around on her own; otherwise, not even ten bulls could pull her back.

"Daddy, Mommy."

The little William, who was building a sandcastle with his great-grandmother nearby, brightened up immediately when he saw his parents approaching.

"Daddy, Mommy, come and see if the castle I built looks nice?" he urged.

Little Elly II also followed, excitedly hopping around William’s castle, "spinning, jumping, eyes closed"—and then—

she stepped right on it, collapsing the structure and causing a "sand tide" to rise.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Following the two shouts of alarm, William’s lips puckered up in distress, his eyes welling up with tears, yet unwilling to hit his sister Elly, he could only look accusingly at the Jones couple with tears in his eyes:

"Daddy, Mommy, look at what sister did, she has ruined my castle."

The sound of his voice, tinged with a babyish lilt, was simply heartbreaking.

Elly Campbell, with a smile, walked over and cast a compassionate glance at Helen Melendy, who, similarly crouched beside William, had been helping him build the castle.

Helen had it worse; Elly II had jumped too excitedly, and in her exuberance, had kicked up a cloud of dust, leaving Helen’s eyes, mouth, and hair full of sand.

Not to mention the taste of the salty sand in her mouth, the clump of sand that hit her eyes was agonizingly uncomfortable.

It made it impossible for her to keep her eyes open.

Helen felt like crying out of frustration from that stupid cat; with her eyes shut, tears streaming uncontrollably, she spat out sand and cursed:

"Later on, I’m going to roast that stupid cat and eat it!"

William, who had been complaining to his parents about his sister’s actions, heard Auntie Helen threatening to roast his cat sister and, terrified, immediately hugged the completely oblivious Elly II close to himself.

"Auntie Helen, don’t roast my sister; she didn’t do it on purpose."

Helen Melendy: "..."

While she shook the sand off her hair and spat out the sand from her mouth, her cheeks were suddenly cupped by a pair of hands.

"Stop moving around. Do you not want your eyes anymore?" Harry’s deep voice carried an intangible authority, silencing Helen just as her retort reached her lips.

With her eyes closed, she felt the cool breeze that skimmed over her eyelids, blowing the sand away from the area around her eyes.

He was being extra careful with his actions, as if he were afraid of hurting her again.

Elly Campbell took a bottle of water from nearby and walked over. Harry took it from her naturally, poured half into the palm of his hand, and, with his other hand holding Helen’s head, commanded, "Bend down."

Perhaps the agony from the sand in her eyes was too much to bear, and she could only follow Harry’s orders, doing whatever he asked her to do.
