Chapter 769: 769. I’ll settle accounts with you later_1

Adam Jones was very good at seizing the opportunity, grasping the slender and delicate hand on his arm, suppressing the joy in his voice as he said:

"Thank you, wife."

Elly Campbell snorted and ignored him, but the hand he was holding did not let go.

By the time they reached the villa, a golf ball picker cart from the island’s golf course was already waiting outside.

It was Elly who had asked the caddie to prepare the picker cart before the doctor arrived.

Although the villa wasn’t far from the hospital, Adam’s wound was very deep, making it unsuitable for him to walk.

Especially since he had previously walked such a long distance and stood for so long at the estate with an injury.

Thinking of this, Elly’s brow furrowed imperceptibly.

At that time, she was so focused on dealing with Daisy Thompson and Sophia Green that she completely failed to notice he was injured and had been lingering for so long.

Looking at the man beside her, pale yet with joy in the depths of his eyes, Elly couldn’t help but feel a surge of heartache.

He was indeed easily satisfied.

She had only agreed to accompany him for a check-up, still with a stern face, yet he could be so happy.

Elly felt that it would be quite unreasonable to keep being cold and harsh to him.

Looking at him helplessly, she tightened her grip on the hand that Adam had not released and said coldly:

"I’ll settle the score with you later."

Although she spoke harshly, Elly still carefully aided him onto the picker cart.

Despite her wife’s stern tone, Adam knew the underlying tension and concern could not be hidden, warming his heart.

"Okay, you can punish me however you want."

The doctor who followed them to the picker cart looked at the couple and couldn’t help feeling overwhelmed by their display of affection.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctors were already waiting to examine Adam.

Fortunately, apart from the abdominal injury, there were no other issues, and he only needed to be observed overnight.

This allowed Elly to finally relax, at least somewhat.

She learned from the doctor that after Adam was injured, he had left halfway through getting bandaged upon hearing she might be in danger and went to find her immediately, ignoring his own wounds.

At the time, Elly had clearly noticed his pallor but had not thought to inquire further.

Elly couldn’t help but begin to reflect on her actions inwardly.

She constantly professed her love for Adam, yet her attentiveness to him paled in comparison to his for her.

The self-reproach in her heart deepened, along with her sympathy for him; at this moment, there was no room left to be angry with him for keeping things from her.

On reaching the top-floor hospital room on the island, several bodyguards dressed as foreigners stood outside, with revolvers holstered at their waists and hands resting on the wall at their sides, ready for action at any moment.

Seeing these men, Adam’s brow knitted subtly, but he said nothing, quietly entering the hospital room with Elly’s company.

Adam knew Elly was very smart. Just from seeing his injury, she would know it was no accident. After seeing the row of bodyguards outside, her expression showed no confusion or unease, indicating she must have guessed something.

After returning to the hospital room, Adam became increasingly uneasy as he saw Elly suddenly fall silent and not as harsh as she had been before.
