The responsible personnel arrived shortly after, and upon seeing Adam Jones, his face registered shock before he quickly approached. "Mr. Jones, are you alright?"
The person in charge was somewhat nervous. If anything happened to Adam Jones in his area of responsibility, he truly would be in deep trouble.
At some point, Adam Jones’s elbow had been deeply cut by a knife, and it was still bleeding.
"Mr. Jones, you are injured. Let me take you to the hospital."
Adam merely responded indifferently, his expression unchanged even though the wound on his elbow was bone-deep.
Without drawing attention to himself, he pulled down his sleeve and turned to look for his wife and child.
The supermarket had already descended into chaos because of that madman, with many people injured and even one person killed, their blood pooling on the ground.
The police had already subdued the madman, and order was slowly being restored at the scene.
Elly Campbell, with her back to Adam Jones, was comforting William Campbell. Hearing Adam’s tense voice, she quickly turned around.
Adam had already walked over and crouched beside mother and son, wrapping his long arm around her and gently patting her. "It’s okay now, everything’s been taken care of."
Elly nodded, noticing Adam’s pallor, she examined him closely and asked, "What about you? Did that person hurt you?"
Seeing Elly’s concern, Adam’s heart leapt with joy, and a smile involuntarily crept upon his lips. "Are you worried about me?"
His question caught Elly off-guard, but she maintained a composed face. "If you were hurt, how could you accompany William to the sports day tomorrow?"
Though Elly wouldn’t admit her concern, Adam was overjoyed by the subtle worry that had spilled into her gaze when she looked at him.
But he simply said, "Don’t worry, I’m fine."
After the heart-stopping incident at the supermarket, many people had left. Since they had almost finished their shopping, they were ready to check out and go home.
The scene at the supermarket had frightened William, and he was too scared to leave Elly’s side once they got home.
It took nearly an hour of comforting before William finally fell asleep.
"It’s getting late, you should go to bed early too, I’m stepping out."
Just after tucking William in, Elly heard Adam say this.
Surprised, she looked at Adam. It wasn’t even nine o’clock yet, which wasn’t considered late by modern standards.
If this had been before, Elly wouldn’t have thought much of Adam’s words. But she had grown accustomed to him making excuses to stay by her side or trying to steal a kiss.
The fact that he was offering to leave her room without her asking was indeed a surprise to her now.
Seeing the surprise on her face, Adam couldn’t help but snicker, gazing down at her beautiful eyes. "What’s wrong? Can’t bear to see me go? Then I can stay."
Adam laughed softly and did not linger, leaving the room without hesitation.
As the door closed, a hint of confusion lingered in Elly’s eyes. She felt there was something off about Adam.
But she didn’t dwell on it, took a shower, changed into pajamas, and lay down beside William, preparing to sleep. However, just as she closed her eyes, something suddenly struck her, and she opened her eyes wide before hastily getting out of bed.
