Chapter 80: 080. Completely ignore him_1 Chapter 80: 080. Completely ignore him_1 Adam Jones furrowed his brows in slight irritation, completely ignoring what Lily Jones had said before he strode out of the hospital room.
Sophie Baker’s face suddenly turned pale, but she dared not show any dissatisfaction, and instead, turned to Lily Jones, saying, “You really shouldn’t worry; I’m not a child. Nobody’s going to bully me in the hospital, are they?”
“That’s not necessarily true. This hospital is full of Elly Campbell’s colleagues—we never know if she might have someone target you.”
Lily Jones rolled her eyes dismissively, while Sophie Baker could only sit by the side and laugh helplessly.
“You just relax. Despite the misunderstanding between Miss Campbell and myself, at the end of the day, she is my sister. She wouldn’t treat me like that.”
Though she spoke magnanimously, when she recalled the humiliation Elly Campbell had inflicted on her in the restroom at the cocktail party, she wished she could tear Elly Campbell to pieces.
Lily Jones also knew about the relationship between Sophie Baker and Elly Campbell, and her face looked even less happy when she heard Sophie mention her.
“Your mother, too, really… Of all things she could have done, becoming someone else’s mistress, making you unable to hold your head high in front of Elly Campbell.”
Listening to the disdain in his wife’s voice, Christopher Moore did not know whether to laugh or not. Was she really so blunt that she didn’t fear angering Sophie to death?
The woman she spoke of with such disdain was, after all, Sophie’s biological mother.
Seeing Sophie’s face turn pale and his wife’s oblivious demeanor, Christopher Moore pressed his lips together, barely holding back a smile, acting as if he had heard nothing.
Just as Christopher Moore had expected, Sophie was so angry that her face turned white, and her nails almost broke in the palms of her hands. Yet, facing Lily Jones, she couldn’t vent any of her anger.
Lily Jones was completely unaware that her words had upset Sophie so much. She kept discussing Elly Campbell, and naturally, nothing nice came out of her mouth about Elly. This at least made Sophie feel a bit better internally.
Half an hour later, Lily Jones was wheeled into the operating room, and Adam Jones, Christopher Moore, and Sophie Baker waited outside. When Elly Campbell arrived, what she saw was this scene.
Her gaze swept over Adam Jones and settled on the tense-looking Christopher Moore, whose handsome features were tightly drawn. She said, “Don’t be nervous, she’ll be out soon.”
“Thank you, sister-in-law. I entrust Lily to you,” Christopher Moore replied.
Elly Campbell nodded slightly and pushed the door open to enter.
Adam Jones’s expression was somewhat ugly. Aside from worrying about Lily Jones, it was Elly Campbell’s attitude that bothered him. From the beginning to the end, she had only consoled Christopher Moore with a few words, completely ignoring him, her husband, standing right beside him.
Didn’t he also need some comfort?
She had completely disregarded him. What was the meaning of this?
Sophie Baker also had a similarly unhappy expression. She had already been upset when Lily Jones had disdainfully spoken of her mother as a mistress, and now hearing Christopher Moore repeatedly calling Elly Campbell ‘sister-in-law,’ without any objection from Adam Jones, made her even more irate.
However, she couldn’t afford to offend anyone present.
If only… If only she could have entered the Campbell Family sooner, becoming the second Miss Campbell.
At that moment, Sophie wished the Old Master would die soon, so that her father could take her back to the Campbell Family.
Inside the operating room, Elly Campbell was operating the scalpel with composure, while outside, the three people each harbored their own thoughts without speaking. The silence was only broken when an elderly voice echoed from the distance.
