Chapter 767: 767. The scent of death hits you in the face_1

This silent Elly made Adam Jones’s heart feel even more guilty and anxious. He reached out to grab her hand, "Wife..."

No sooner had he opened his mouth than Elly shook it off directly.

Then, she took out some anti-inflammatory medicine and water from the medicine box, placed them beside him, picked up the trash bag, left Adam Jones lying in the study, and walked out without a word.

Adam Jones: "..."

Half an hour ago, he had treated Elly with such an attitude, and in such a short time, it had all come back to bite him.

At this time, Adam Jones dared not disobey his wife and anger her further.

When his wife’s temper flared, the consequences were very serious.

He decisively and promptly picked up the anti-inflammatory medicine Elly had put in front of him, swallowed it with some warm water, walked out of the study, changed his clothes, and since Elly wasn’t in the room, he quickly went out to "beg for mercy" with the time he had.

When the doctor Harry Hall had arranged arrived at the villa, Elly had just placed the trash at the bin by the door.

She did not expect to bump into Elly right at the door; the doctor was first taken aback, then hurriedly greeted her, "Lady."

Hearing this address, Elly knew that the doctor must be one of Adam Jones’s confidants, and not just any island doctor; otherwise, he would have called her "Mrs. Jones."

"Are you here for Adam?"

Even though she knew, Elly asked knowingly.

The doctor didn’t know if he managed his facial expressions well or if Elly had noticed anything, but he still nodded very calmly.

"Yes, it’s about some important decisions on the island that I need to consult with the boss before making a final decision."

Elly glanced at the medical box in his hand, covered with a layer of brown paper on the outside, and snorted coldly in her heart.

How thoughtful indeed, even the medical box was disguised.

"He’s inside, go ahead."

"Thank you, Lady."

Because the doctor was worried about Adam Jones’s injuries, he quickened his steps instinctively as he carried the medical box.

But as soon as he reached the bedroom door, he saw Adam Jones, dressed in light gray loungewear, looking anxious as he came out.

"Boss."

The doctor immediately called out to him, noticing that although Adam Jones’s face was still pale, his condition didn’t seem too bad.

The boss truly is the boss, even sustaining an injury he can endure better than an ordinary person.

He had just finished disinfecting the wound not long ago, and before he could prepare to stitch it up, hearing that the lady was in danger, the boss, without a second thought, grabbed the gauze by his side, wrapped it around his waist, and left.

Throughout the journey, he had been bleeding so much, and the fact that he could endure until now without dying from excessive blood loss was something only a big shot could manage.

At this moment, Adam Jones didn’t have the mind to pay attention to him; his gaze went beyond the doctor and landed on the woman walking up behind him, his anxiety growing.

"Elly..."

"This gentleman mentioned that there are some decisions about the island that need your consultation, but you gave me the island before; as the new island head, I have the right to hear about the decisions, don’t I?"

The expression on Adam Jones’s face changed subtly, carrying a faint hint of embarrassment and awkwardness.

But the doctor didn’t know that CEO Hall had called, saying the big boss didn’t want the boss’s wife to know about his injuries, and had told him to make up any excuse to go there.

For this reason, he had even had his assistant tear apart the limited edition genuine leather bag he had bought recently, wrapping the medical box to look like a briefcase, making it appear as if he was the project manager from the island.

He thought he had been very thorough, even considering such details as the appearance of the medical box, and he had obviously successfully fooled the lady of the house.

If he performed well, would the boss appreciate him more?
