True to someone who had been by his side for seven years, she was incredibly thoughtful and cautious, even fearing saying too much might be wrong.
"And what about Elly Campbell? What did she say about that matter?"
She? She is formidable. She doesn’t argue with the CEO about anything, just insists it wasn’t her doing, whether the CEO believes it or not.
When Robert Green said that, Adam Jones found himself speechless again.
"Huh! Quite the temper!"
Adam Jones snorted, glancing at the serious Robert Green standing beside him, saying, "So I just believe her like that?"
If you don’t trust her, would you have remarried her? Would you have given her all your estate?
Seeing the indescribable expression on Robert Green’s face, Adam Jones knew his question was somewhat superfluous.
If he genuinely suspected all along that Elly Campbell had calculated against him, how could he have remarried her and foolish enough to give her his entire estate?
Even if it was true love, wouldn’t it be a love-hate relationship?
How could he, after losing his memory of her, still feel unable to be cruel to her?
Seeing her sad would make him hurt; watching her be so unrestrained in front of him was something he actually enjoyed.
But at this point, Adam Jones understood.
The existence of this memory fragment in his mind was, in itself, problematic.
Whether before his memory loss or after, the incident of that year had not been resolved.
Given that he had led the Jones corporation to its current status, it showed he was no fool and would not easily trust Elly Campbell. But once he did trust her, it meant it genuinely wasn’t her doing.
As for Sophie Baker...
The only impression he had of her was that memory fragment in his mind, nothing else.
Even the so-called life-saving favor didn’t elicit a particularly strong sense of gratitude.
It meant that Sophie Baker was entirely dispensable to him.
Yet, if the him before his memory loss believed that the incident was not related to Elly Campbell, how could it be deeply enough imprinted in his mind to persist through his amnesia?
That in itself was a significant issue.
Adam Jones closed his eyes, sitting on the couch in silence for a long time, with Robert Green not daring to disturb him with any sound.
After a while, seeing him rise and walk towards Elly Campbell’s bedroom, where she lay, his heart, which had been restless and uncertain due to the memory loss, suddenly calmed down.
He could make his own judgments.
If he had decided back then that Elly Campbell schemed against him, it wouldn’t be possible that, upon losing his memory, only she could truly settle his heart.
And even Aunt Lily, whom he would risk his life to save in the memory fragment, couldn’t do that.
He walked slowly to Elly Campbell’s side and sat down.
Because of her pregnancy, Elly Campbell would sleep very deeply each time she went to bed, and these days, she had hardly slept well because she was worried about Adam.
Even after finding him, a week had passed, and internally she still felt quite unsettled. Only now, as they started their journey back home, did she allow herself a bit of peace, hence her deep sleep. Adam Jones came in, sat down beside her, and she did not know.
Looking at her sleeping face, Adam Jones couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and gently touch her face, the cold and soft sensation under his palm inadvertently making his eyebrows and eyes relax.
"Adam, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember me. It doesn’t matter if you can’t recall for a lifetime, but if you remember someone else and not me, it will hurt here."
He thought about what Elly Campbell had said to him that day in the hospital room, his heart tightened sharply, with that ache spreading from every blood vessel, every cell of his heart.
