Lily Bankston had just opened the door when Adam Jones’s voice, tinged with confusion, came from behind her.
Her eyes brightened, and she quickly turned her wheelchair around, looking at Adam Jones with gleaming eyes, her voice trembling:
"Adam, do you remember Aunt Lily?"
Adam Jones looked at the woman sitting excitedly in the wheelchair in front of him and pressed his lips together, remaining silent.
He didn’t actually have any memories of her, except for when he had seen her face just now, a scene flashed through his mind—
He and the woman in front of him were talking in a car when suddenly the car was hit and overturned. The woman was thrown out of the car, and he instinctively rushed out to pull her back from almost falling off the overpass.
But he himself fell due to the momentum.
The scene, abruptly stopped.
"Aunt Lily," these words, just instinctively came out of his mouth.
Seeing him fall silent again, with her gaze still unfamiliar, Lily Bankston’s heart sank slightly once more.
She forced a smile and shook her head, saying, "It’s alright if you don’t remember, just wait until you have recovered fully, and it will naturally come back to you."
Then, looking towards Elly Campbell, she said, "Elly, you guys go on out, Adam has just woken up, let him rest for now, we will come by later to see him again."
Elly Campbell’s eyes lightly fell on Adam Jones, silent.
Adam Jones felt inexplicably nervous under her gaze, yet he couldn’t pinpoint the source of this anxiety.
"Alright, we’ll go out first."
A moment later, Elly Campbell spoke up, signaling Robert Green to leave with her.
The moment the door closed, Adam Jones watched Elly Campbell’s retreating figure, feeling somewhat hollow inside.
He discovered he had conflicting feelings about this woman, at times heartache, at times anger. When she wasn’t in front of him, there was this feeling of emptiness.
Especially when looking at her cool, indifferent eyes, he felt uneasy.
But upon hearing her mention the child in her womb, he didn’t feel the joy of a father; instead, he felt a strong aversion, even harboring an impulse to terminate the pregnancy.
Adam Jones was frightened by this thought.
How could he think of terminating his own child?
"Adam’s condition seems a bit off, should we have the doctor observe him a bit more?"
After exiting the room, Lily Bankston paused her wheelchair, looked up at Elly Campbell, and asked.
"I’ve asked Doctor Matt, all his physical indicators are normal. As for the memory loss, that’s inexplicable; we can only wait for him to possibly remember in the future, or perhaps he might never recall."
At this, Elly Campbell’s gaze dimmed.
But the next second, she gathered her spirits again and said:
"However, it’s alright if he can’t remember. The fact that he is back with us now is the greatest comfort already. If he doesn’t recognize us, then we’ll just get to know each other again."
Hearing this, Lily Bankston smiled and nodded, "Yes, if all else fails, we just start over. It’s most important that he’s okay."
Taking a picture of Adam Jones and that man together, to ruin his reputation and see how he could still marry me...
President Jones, they’re not here right now, I’ll sneak you out, be careful...
Don’t hit me, don’t hit me, President Jones, you hurry and leave, don’t worry about me...
At this moment, in the hospital bed, Adam Jones’s mind incessantly flashed such scenes, as if they had really happened.
