Her gaze shifted over, and she saw Old Lady Jones approaching the operating room with the assistance of her aide.
"Grandma, why are you here?"
Christopher Moore stepped forward to support the Old Lady and asked.
"I wanted to come and see how Lily is doing."
Adam Jones walked up to the Old Lady and said, "Grandma, the surgery will take at least eight or nine hours, and you’re not in good health. Please go back and rest for now. If there’s any news about Lily, I will inform you."
"Yes, Grandma, we’re just waiting here, please go back and rest. Christopher and I can stay here," another voice joined in.
Christopher Moore said as well.
Sophie Baker, who was standing off to the side, was thus ignored, not even receiving a glance from Old Lady Jones.
Sophie knew that the Old Lady’s heart belonged only to Elly Campbell as her granddaughter-in-law, and to marry Adam, she had to first overcome the barrier presented by the Old Lady.
Seeing herself neglected, Sophie’s thoughts were far from settled, and after Christopher had finished speaking, she timely interjected, "Yes, Old Lady Jones, we’re here to wait for Lily, you can go back and rest."
Only then did Old Lady Jones’s gaze fall on Sophie. She disliked this girl from the bottom of her heart, and there was even a sense of aversion.
She always felt the girl had impure motives, and even though Sophie had injured her womb while trying to save Lily, this did not endear the girl to her.
But Sophie was, after all, Lily’s lifesaver, so the Old Lady did not embarrass her further, though she also showed no warmth, merely glancing at her indifferently before turning her attention back to her grandson.
"I heard from Old Mr. Leonard that the surgeon for Lily is Elly?"
Whenever he mentioned Elly Campbell, Adam’s expression turned distinctly displeased, responding with just a heavy acknowledgment.
On the contrary, when Christopher spoke of Elly, his tone was full of respect, "Yes, Grandma, it is indeed your daughter-in-law performing the surgery on Lily. Lily owes her a lot for the last premature delivery."
Seeing a smile spread across the Old Lady’s face, "Elly always manages to surprise me."
The unabashed admiration in her eyes was particularly annoying to Sophie on the side.
Hmph! It’s all because Elly is a child of the Campbell family, isn’t it?
Wait until she gets kicked out of the Campbell family by her father. Let’s see if this Old Granny will still like her then.
Once she enters the Campbell family, she will definitely make this Old Lady propose on her own initiative that Adam marry her.
Sophie thought bitterly to herself, but at that moment, no one was paying any attention to her.
After all, the Old Lady was advanced in age, and with her health never fully recovered from a serious illness a few years ago, she couldn’t stand being outside for more than an hour and had to return for a rest with the aide’s assistance.
With the Old Lady gone, Sophie felt slightly better, even though she didn’t have much patience to wait for Lily Jones to emerge from the operating room, she had to put on a show.
As time ticked by second by second, the operation inside the surgery room continued intensively, and it was already lunchtime before they knew it.
Christopher Moore glanced at his watch, approached Adam Jones, and said, "Big brother, the surgery will probably take a few more hours. You should go have lunch. I can stay here with Lily."
Adam Jones looked up at the operating room door, his thoughts on Elly Campbell still busy inside, and subconsciously declined, "No need, I’m not hungry."
