Then, she pushed several papers to Adam Jones, her tone of voice no different from how she addressed the relatives of other patients.
"These are some items that you need to pay close attention to after Lily Jones’s heart transplant surgery; there cannot be any negligence."
Adam Jones glanced over the papers indifferently and nodded silently, his gaze, however, remained fixed on Elly Campbell’s hand rubbing her temple, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
Elly didn’t notice Adam’s gaze and continued, "Additionally, after the surgery, there will be noticeable signs of rejection. This period is very critical, and you as family members must not take it lightly..."
Following that, she carefully explained the potential for rejection and complications that could occur after Lily’s surgery to Adam Jones. Only then did she finally fix her gaze on Adam, who had been silent the whole time, "Have you got all that?"
Adam Jones responded with a faint nod. Elly glanced at him involuntarily once more, feeling that when she had been speaking earlier, Adam seemed somewhat distracted.
So inattentive to her words, why bother coming to take on this role as a family member? If she had spoken to Christopher Moore, he would have definitely listened without missing a word.
Thinking this to herself, Elly reached for another paper and handed it to Adam Jones, "If you’ve heard me clearly, sign here."
However, she thought that she would still need to go over the specifics with Christopher, since it seemed like Adam wasn’t fond of listening to her speak, and probably hadn’t taken in much at all.
Adam Jones lowered his gaze to the paper in front of him, observing Elly’s hand. Her fingers were slender and delicate, her nails neatly trimmed, revealing the rounded tips with nails painted a tender pink. Even without any manicure, they looked beautiful.
These were the hands of a surgeon, and his sister’s life had been saved by these hands twice.
Seeing Adam Jones spacing out again, Elly grew somewhat vexed. She was tired and hungry, completely lacking patience to keep waiting for Adam, so she tapped the desk with her finger, raising her voice significantly.
Adam Jones’s eyes narrowed, and he took the pen Elly handed him and flamboyantly signed his name.
"Okay, my shift is over, you two please feel free to stay."
As she said this, she stood up to organize the documents in front of her, subconsciously rubbing her stomach that was beginning to ache slightly, her brows furrowing in discomfort.
Adam Jones noticed her subtle movement and thought about her not having eaten all day, his heart suddenly sinking.
Just as Elly was packing her bag and opening the office door, Adam Jones reached out and stopped her.
Elly looked up at him, puzzled, and asked, "Is there something from my earlier explanation that you didn’t understand?"
If he still had questions, Elly had no intention of wasting more time to explain it a second time. She wouldn’t have let Adam come here in the first place if she had known he cared so little about Lily’s post-operative care.
Irritated, she listened as Adam Jones’s deep voice unexpectedly asked, "Haven’t you eaten all day?"
Elly paused, surprised that Adam was stopping her over this, but she didn’t hide it, "Yes, I’m going to eat now."
She was indeed feeling quite uncomfortable from hunger; by nature, she wasn’t someone with a lot of patience and hunger only made her less tolerant.
After dropping these words, she attempted to walk past Adam, heading outside, when once again, Adam held her back.
