Chapter 75: 075. Lily Jones, shut up_1 Chapter 75: 075. Lily Jones, shut up_1 “Pfft, Dean Stevenson says you’re skilled in medicine, so how can there still be a surgical risk? You don’t want to take this opportunity for revenge and let me die on the operating table, do you?”
Lily Jones couldn’t help but make a sarcastic comment.
“Lily Jones, shut up!”
Elly Campbell’s face darkened, the sudden chill that converged on her face startled Lily Jones. Just as she was about to retort with a curse, she heard Elly Campbell say:
“You think I want to perform this surgery on you? If it weren’t for your husband’s deep concern for your life, I wouldn’t even want to glance at you. You may not value your own life, but don’t take others’ sincerity for granted.”
Having said that, she turned cold, left the ward without looking back.
Lily Jones was so infuriated by her words that she turned pale, pointing at Elly Campbell’s retreating figure, she grasped Christopher Moore’s hand, her voice filled with grievance, “I… I don’t take my life lightly, nor do I disregard your sincerity. How can she say that about me…”
Christopher Moore felt both heartache and annoyance towards Lily Jones: heartache for her illness, and annoyance for her cursing herself. “Your sister-in-law is right. I don’t want to hear these words again.”
It was rare for him to take such a stern tone with Lily Jones, who looked at Christopher Moore with teary eyes and a face full of grievance, realizing that her words had gone too far. Even if she wanted to irritate Elly Campbell, she shouldn’t have cursed herself.
“I… I didn’t mean to say that.”
“You did it on purpose.”
Adam Jones, who had remained silent with a stern face, spoke in a cold tone after Lily Jones finished her sentence, which startled her.
Seeing Adam Jones stand up and approach her with a serious expression.
“I’m not going to divorce Elly Campbell, and don’t think about bringing any other women near me again. Also, don’t mention Sophie Baker in front of Elly Campbell again, you hear me?”
This was the first time Adam Jones had spoken to Lily Jones with such sharpness. Although Lily Jones felt defiant inside, the stern look on her brother’s face truly frightened her, and she dared not utter a word of contradiction.
After Adam Jones finished speaking, he left the ward with a cold face. Hearing Lily Jones begin to mutter softly again, “How is Sophie any less than Elly Campbell, my brother really is…”
Before she could finish, she saw Adam Jones turn to look at her. The coldness and warning that spilled from his deep eyes made Lily Jones swallow the words she had started to say.
After leaving Lily Jones’s ward, Elly Campbell prepared to get off work and go home.
Little William Campbell was picked up by the Old Master, which gave her much relief. Just as she left the office, the little guy called her again.
“Elly, you have to come back quickly, today is my birthday, you can’t be late.”
From the other end of the phone, the little guy’s childish voice carried an undeniable seriousness, which made Elly Campbell unable to help but smile.
“Okay, I know. I’m coming right now, and I’ll bring you a present in a bit,” Elly Campbell replied, walking out of the office while talking to her son on the phone. Her good mood from the call, however, disappeared the next second when she saw a face she didn’t want to see at all, and the smile on her lips instantly retracted.
Adam Jones naturally heard Elly Campbell on the phone and saw the different expressions on her face before and after she saw him, which only added to his already sour mood.
Not wanting Adam Jones to know about the existence of her son, Elly Campbell quickly hung up the call, stepped around him, and prepared to leave.
