Chapter 765: 765. Adam Jones, you open the door for me_1

Harry Hall dared not think any further; whenever he did, his heart would start to ache sharply.

Helen Melendy stopped in her tracks and looked down at the slender fingers that held her wrist, as if wanting to squeeze hard, yet fearing that too much force might break her.

She lifted her eyes in confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"

Harry knew she had always been pushing him away. That night, from Adam Jones’s words, he learned she had no choice but to terminate the pregnancy. At that moment, pain, regret, and tenderness occupied his entire heart.

He firmly believed if they could just talk things out, they could still be together.

He didn’t want to bring up the past again, nor did he want to hear her mention it; he wanted to give each other a chance to move forward.

But her words, "Even if I weren’t sick, I wouldn’t have kept the child," shattered all the hope and expectations in his heart.

Whether she meant it sincerely or said it out of spite, he knew her determination to sever ties with him completely was resolute.

Meeting her guarded gaze, Harry’s eyes filled with a touch of bitterness.

Then, he reined in all his emotions and scoffed with a laugh, "Why should I help you hide anything from Adam?"

"I’m your girlfriend,"

Helen’s words came out almost reflexively. After she spoke, both she and Harry were taken aback.

The format of this conversation was all too familiar, so familiar that even after so many years apart, whenever Harry joked with her in such a manner, she could always confidently retort against him with that line.

Back then, whether they were active or still, he disliked talking much, and she loved to chatter by his side.

Everyone said they wouldn’t last long, that their personalities were too incompatible.

But only Harry knew very well that in this world, Helen Melendy was the one most suited for him.

The reason was simple: because he liked her, and only what he liked was the most suitable, not what was deemed suitable in the eyes of others.

Now, he was obviously more talkative than before, and that was because, with every day he spent with Helen, he was imperceptibly changed by her.

Aside from her, he couldn’t adapt to anyone else.

Helen never expected she would blurt out that phrase so automatically. Once she did, her whole being exploded.

Especially for Harry, this simple statement brought back all the memories of the past four years, flooding into his heart and causing it to burst open in an instant.

All the emotions he had been suppressing during this time erupted simultaneously.

Even his eyes reddened, and the hand holding her wrist instinctively tightened, yet fearing that too much force would break her, he quickly let go.

"Helen..."

His voice was subdued as he called out to her, still struggling to control his emotions; but that voice carried a faint tremble.

This one word, "Helen," even softened the once hardened heart of Helen Melendy, bringing tears to her eyes.

At that moment, Elly Campbell stood outside the study; due to the soundproofing of the room, she couldn’t hear any of the commotion inside.

But she could imagine that if Adam Jones sent her away without a word and even locked her out, his injury must be severe.

At the very least, this was a wound he found unbearable.

Feeling both angry and pained, she raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Adam Jones, open the door for me!"

Inside the study, Adam Jones sat on the sofa with a grim face, his complexion pale as he waited for the doctor to arrive, startled by his wife’s angry call.
