This was the most she had ever said to Elly since they’d met, and it all came from the deepest part of her heart.
Helen Melendy felt that she must really be planning to completely remove that persistence planted in her heart.
Elly herself didn’t know how she managed to say so much tonight. Only after she finished did she realise her mouth was dry and her tongue was parched.
She stood up from the bench and said to Helen, "It’s late, you should go back first. If there are any difficulties at the office, just let me know. Don’t try to tough it out alone."
"Got it. With a rich second-generation bestie like you, how could I not make good use of you?"
Helen laughed, slinging an arm over her shoulder, "Take care of your own business first. As for mine, I can handle it."
Elly nodded; if she didn’t want the help, Elly wouldn’t insist.
Seeing Elly heading towards the hospital building, Helen quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, "You’re not still planning to look after that big pig’s trotter, are you?"
"No, it’s just that some things, I need to make clear with him. Letting go of the past is one thing, but being schemed against is another."
Harry Hall said that it was Sophie Baker who saved Adam Jones back then. Although she didn’t know what had happened in between, based on her knowledge of Sophie, she wasn’t someone who would sacrifice herself for others.
Once the affair involved Sophie’s illegitimate daughter, even the simplest matter became complicated.
If the whole thing was Sophie scheming against her, she thought, her methods these past days had been too gentle.
Listening to her, Helen released her arms and said, "That’s true. That big pig’s trotter is being played like a fiddle and doesn’t even know it. You need to go back and give him a jolt, make him regret it in his bed."
Elly smiled and stepped towards the hospital building, bumping into Harry, who was coming out.
At that moment, Harry looked at Elly with an indescribable expression, not sure what was going through her mind in that short time. The only thing he was certain of was that his brother’s days ahead were definitely going to be tougher.
Thinking of his previous questioning and misunderstanding of Elly, Harry stepped forward and apologised still.
Elly didn’t say much; she naturally accepted his apology and then continued on toward the hospital building.
Helen couldn’t help but let out a scornful sneer upon seeing him, "What? Told your brother’s secret and now you don’t dare face him?"
Facing Helen’s sarcasm, Harry was somewhat accustomed to it. His gaze lingered on her defiant and contemptuous face, and with a soft laugh, he said:
"He should thank me, actually. There’s a saying, ’No destruction, no construction.’ If I hadn’t busted this open, do you think the two of them could move forward?"
Helen was silent. The logic was sound, but...
"How do you know that busting it open means the two of them can be together? Not to mention this ’no destruction, no construction’ business. The truth is clear to Elly now, so why on earth should Adam think he still has a chance with her?"
She definitely wouldn’t tell him that Elly still couldn’t let go of Adam. The less she could let go, the less likely Elly would get together with Adam easily.
Big pig’s trotters, they’re all a bunch of big pig’s trotters!
Harry caught the anger in Helen’s eyes but didn’t get angry. He just chuckled softly and moved a little closer to her.
