Adam Jones followed by nodding with a smile, "Yes, I still possess the necessary judgment."
Lily Bankston did not stay in the hospital room long. After chatting with Adam Jones for a while, she suggested leaving.
After seeing Lily Bankston off, Adam Jones closed the door, walked over to the couch to sit down, and lifted his eyes to look at Elly Campbell, who was still standing by the table with a stern expression. After thinking for a bit, he asked:
"Do you have thoughts about Aunt Lily?"
Upon hearing this, Elly Campbell suddenly looked up at him. She had felt that her suspicious glance at Lily Bankston had been noticed by Adam, but since he had said nothing in front of Lily, she thought he hadn’t actually noticed.
But now, Adam’s question clearly showed that he had indeed seen it earlier.
Elly Campbell’s eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes fixed on Adam’s face; she remained silent.
She wasn’t worried about Lily Bankston knowing her thoughts toward her.
If it turned out she had misunderstood Lily Bankston, she would naturally find a way to seek her forgiveness.
What she feared was that Lily Bankston was not a simple character and that Adam trusted her so much. If he mentioned Elly’s suspicions to Lily, it could make any investigation she hoped to pursue significantly more challenging if Lily became wary.
Seeing her stern face and silence, as if guessing what she was thinking, Adam felt an instinctive urge not to let her feel uneasy and opened his mouth to say:
"Don’t worry, I won’t tell Aunt Lily."
At Adam’s words, a flicker of surprise crossed Elly’s eyes.
But then Adam added, "Right now I don’t remember anything, so I won’t easily trust anyone."
Although she knew he didn’t mean it, Elly Campbell couldn’t help cursing inwardly.
There she was, with a big belly, day and night hoping for his return, and she had tirelessly managed to suppress all the scheming in his company, finally stabilizing Jones Corporation, only for him to return and end things with a statement of remembering nothing?
Fine, you don’t remember me now, I forgive you.
But when you do remember, don’t expect me to forgive you so easily.
Elly Campbell comforted herself with these thoughts, looking back at Adam’s sharp features, which due to his recent ordeal seemed more defined, involuntarily feeling a pang of heartache.
Adam caught her secretly rolling her eyes at him unemotionally, her cheeks slightly flushed with anger, and instinctively the words popped into his mind—
The thoughts suddenly paused, he wanted what?
Adam’s gaze covertly glanced towards Elly Campbell, seeing that she was unwilling to even give him a glance at the moment, he felt a vague sense of loss.
"Don’t trust, huh? Fine, next time I bring you something, make sure you don’t just eat it, I might just poison you in a moment of displeasure."
Saying this, she started gathering up the utensils on the table, then turned and left the hospital room without looking back.
This woman is not only bad, but her temper doesn’t seem very good either.
Adam Jones moved his fingers as if to reach out for her, but before he could, she slammed the door shut.
Stepping out of the hospital room, Elly Campbell straightened her back, which was slightly stooped.
Thinking of the pair of eyes that no longer looked at her with the tenderness of the past, Elly Campbell’s heart couldn’t help but sour.
But then she thought, being able to show her anger and displeasure to him alive and well was quite comforting after all.
