Chapter 945: 945. Lily Jones’s phone number
Adam Jones was speaking to the Old Lady, but his attention was fixed on Elly Campbell.
He could sense from the corner of his eye that she was watching him, the smile that wasn’t quite a smile made him feel a bit guilty, he couldn’t help but cover his mouth and cough lightly twice.
"Good, good, good, you’ve returned, and everyone’s mind is at ease now. Elly has been exhausted these days, she’s also carrying a child, and she has made Grandmother extremely worried. You must take good care of her."
When the Old Lady mentioned the child in Elly’s womb, Adam felt that strange sense of rejection rising within him again, but he managed to hide this odd feeling well, not letting anyone notice.
"I will, Grandmother."
The Old Lady had been informed by Elly before the flight took off that they would be arriving home at this time today, so she had the servants prepare a big table full of dishes that Adam and Elly loved to eat.
After this incident, the Old Lady was truly frightened.
Her own son had not returned alive, and this time, she was filled with fear and trepidation, scared that her grandson would also not return.
Right now, even though Adam was right in front of her, she was still trembling with fear, holding onto him and urging him over and over again.
The illness this time had severely weakened the Old Lady, and she had been in a rush to leave the hospital before fully recovering, so after dinner, she was already so tired she barely had any strength left.
Adam stayed by her side, holding her hand until she fell asleep before he left her room.
Elly Campbell did not disturb the grandfather and grandson, knowing that the Old Lady had been scared by the recent events.
William Campbell was still with the Old Master and had not been brought back. At this moment, she sat in her room, her face inevitably wearing a touch of melancholy.
Right now, although her island master had returned, there was still a lot waiting for them.
It was at this moment that her phone received a call from an unfamiliar number.
Elly glanced at it and picked up, "Hello, who’s this?"
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and just when Elly thought it was a prank call, the caller finally spoke.
"It’s me."
This voice Elly naturally recognized.
"Lily Jones?"
Elly softly spoke into the phone.
On the other end, Lily Jones fell silent again, not uttering a word for a long time.
Elly did not urge her to speak but instead placed the phone aside and switched to speakerphone.
After what seemed like half a minute, Lily finally began to speak slowly:
"Christopher told me, Big Brother has come home?"
Hearing this, Elly raised an eyebrow, with a trace of sneer in her eyes.
Ever since her island master had been in trouble, this was the first time Lily had called to ask about him. In the past month, only Christopher Moore had visited a few times. Not once had Lily come or even made a phone call - this time was indeed quite rare.
"Yes, he has."
"How is... he doing now?"
"Doing very well."
There was another long silence on the phone.
This time, Elly didn’t have the patience to wait any longer and impatiently said:
"Lily Jones, when your brother was missing and we didn’t know if he was dead or alive, you didn’t even ask once about him. Now that he’s back, you’re here to ask. This makes it easy for me to think too much."
Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Lily holding her back in a somewhat anxious tone:
"Elly Campbell, I have already been driven out of the Jones family by you, why do you have to be so sarcastic?"
Elly couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Lily’s words.
What does she mean driven out of the Jones family by her?
Wasn’t it her brother who had driven her out?
