When Elly Campbell left the patient’s room, she encountered Adam Jones walking towards her. She glanced at him coldly, feeling irritated at the thought of Lily Jones, and shifted her gaze away from Adam’s face to the adjacent room.
Adam noticed the frustration and impatience on Elly’s face when he arrived, and knowing she had just come out of Lily Jones’s room, he naturally assumed that Lily might have said something to embarrass Elly. His expression suddenly grew dark.
He walked heavily towards Lily Jones’s room and just as he approached the door, he heard Lily’s angry curses coming from inside—
"Isn’t she just the woman my brother rejected? What’s she so arrogant about? If my brother doesn’t want her, she’s nothing but a discarded wife. If she thinks she can still be the Young Miss of the Jones family, she’s dreaming, she...!"
Adam entered the room with a dark expression to find Sophie Baker patting Lily Jones on the back, seemingly comforting her. But she hadn’t said a word from beginning to end, clearly allowing Lily to continue railing against Elly.
Lily’s face was deathly pale, a sickly white, but her energetic tone betrayed that this had no impact on her condition.
Sophie hadn’t expected Adam to come at this time. Her hand, which had been patting Lily’s back, paused slightly. Seeing the cold and sharp aura emanating from his dark eyes, panic flashed suddenly in her own.
"Brother, you’re just in time,"
Lily, not noticing the fierce look in Adam’s eyes, began to complain to him, "Bro, Elly went too far. She dared to insult me. What right does she have? She even had the nerve to insult me..."
"You said what is she?"
Adam, with a cold face and an icy, impatient tone, interrupted Lily.
Lily was startled and only then did she notice the chilling aura surrounding Adam and the deep black eyes that were suppressing a yet unexpressed anger.
"She’s your sister-in-law," he said.
Adam’s cold eyes, filled with an aggressive force, bore down on Lily, "I’ve already told you. Do you take my words as nothing but a breeze past your ears?"
Lily had been pampered by everyone in the Jones family since her childhood because of her heart condition. After marrying into the Moore Clan, they too treasured her, and Adam had never been harsh with her since they were young.
But at this moment, Lily was clearly frightened by Adam’s demeanor, and her eyes promptly reddened with aggrievement.
"Brother, how can you be ? It was obviously Elly who purposefully provoked and insulted me. Why are you taking her side? Am I not your sister anymore? I’m still sick, and by her deliberately annoying me , she must want me dead, right?!"
Lily wanted to say more, but the sheer intimidation in Adam’s eyes made her swallow her words.
"Why are you looking at me ? Why don’t you go and confront Elly instead?"
Could it be that my brother has truly decided not to divorce Elly?
But how could this be allowed!
If brother doesn’t divorce her, what will happen to Sophie?
Sophie can’t end up like her mother—an invisible mistress, shamefully hiding.
"Fine, tell me, what did Elly say?"
Adam sat down on the sofa with a cold face, his gaze piercing like two sharp swords fixed on Lily’s face, causing Lily, who had been confident just moments before, to suddenly become somewhat uneasy.
"She... she said she couldn’t stand having a sister-in-law like me and also said... she said she just wouldn’t divorce you, solely to vex me!"
