Chapter 79: 079. Start surgery_1 Chapter 79: 079. Start surgery_1 Leaving the living room, Elly Campbell’s brows furrowed. Although she had managed to bluff James Campbell today, knowing how much he wanted Sophie Baker to marry Adam Jones, how could he dare to gamble with William Campbell’s situation? But…
A cornered dog will leap over a wall, and James Campbell might do something unexpected in his desperation to get Sophie into the Campbell family.
She didn’t want to use William to fight with Adam Jones. It was urgent to get her mother to divorce James Campbell as soon as possible. Once her mother’s matter was settled, she could take William back to the United States.
Lily Jones’s surgery was scheduled for three days later. On the day of the surgery, Elly Campbell entered Lily Jones’s ward, where, apart from Lily herself, there were Adam Jones, Christopher Moore, and… Sophie.
When Sophie saw Elly Campbell, a fleeting look of vicious coldness flashed through her eyes, but she quickly restrained it. When facing Elly, only a faint fear was visible.
Elly didn’t look at her or at Adam Jones but instead went straight to Christopher Moore.
Christopher Moore spoke up, his expression extremely sincere.
Although Lily Jones was reluctant to acknowledge Elly Campbell as her sister-in-law, she refrained from speaking out this time because of the upset she had caused her husband last time and her brother’s warning.
And Sophie felt even more aggrieved when she heard Christopher Moore call Elly Campbell sister-in-law.
Even though Elly Campbell was about to divorce Adam, why did she still have to recognize her as a sister-in-law, and Adam…
She looked at the silent Adam Jones in front of her. His face was calm, betraying no emotion, but clearly, he had no discontent with Moore calling Elly Campbell sister-in-law.
“The surgery is scheduled for half an hour from now. I’m going to repeat some important things to you.”
Elly Campbell spoke without looking aside, as if Christopher Moore was the only person in the whole ward.
“Alright, please go ahead, sister-in-law.”
Hearing Christopher Moore call her “sister-in-law” continually made Elly frown, but she still very formally repeated the details of the surgery to him.
“Did you get all that?”
Elly handed the surgery consent form she was holding to Christopher Moore who took it, glanced at it, and signed his name.
“Alright, then I’ll go start getting ready for the surgery.”
“It’s tough on you, sister-in-law. We entrust Lily to you.”
Elly Campbell nodded with a smile. Christopher Moore personally escorted her out of the ward, and she never let her gaze linger on Adam Jones and Sophie, not a single glance or even a half-glance.
For Sophie, Elly Campbell’s presence was both oppressive and hateful. When she left, Sophie felt as if the pressure in the ward had eased considerably.
Lily Jones had many complaints about Elly Campbell in her heart, but with her husband and brother siding with Elly, she chose not to say much. She then turned to Sophie and said, “Sophie, you must wait for me outside during my surgery.”
“Of course. I’ll only be at ease when I see you safe and sound.”
Sophie’s smile was warm, her hands holding Lily Jones’s tightly, but the corner of her eye still rested on Adam Jones. Clearly, however, Adam wasn’t giving her an additional look.
“Brother, you must take good care of Sophie. Don’t let anyone bully her,” Lily Jones said, lifting her eyes to Adam Jones with clear implications.
Joy flashed through Sophie’s heart, and her gaze followed Lily’s to Adam Jones. Compared to the sneaky looks before, her gaze was now much bolder and more open.
