Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon reaching the Gynecology Clinic, Adam Jones carefully set Elly Campbell down. Since the area was frequented by female patients, it was inconvenient for him to go in, so he stayed outside in the waiting room instead.

Inside, Chief Wood examined Elly and said, “Your condition is a complication from not properly recuperating after childbirth years ago. I’ll prescribe some medication, but you must take good care of yourself. If not, you’ll suffer the same pain again next time!”

“I understand, thank you, Chief Wood.”

“How can you be so careless with yourself?”

Chief Wood had once been Elly Campbell’s mentor, so their relationship was quite close.

Back when Elly had unexpectedly become pregnant, she hadn’t shared many details, and he had respected her privacy. However, this chronic issue was clearly a result of her childbirth, something that couldn’t be overlooked any longer.

Elly Campbell smiled but did not answer.

“Where is the father of the child? Can’t he take care of you?”

Thinking of Adam Jones, who had just brought her here, Elly Campbell instinctively blurted out, “He’s dead!”

Chief Wood, “…”

Seeing how casually Elly Campbell responded, Chief Wood wasn’t sure if it was true or false and didn’t feel it was appropriate to inquire further at the moment.

After advising her on a few things, she allowed her to leave.

As Elly Campbell opened the door to leave, her eyes instantly locked onto the man standing there, his presence exuding an undeniable brilliance amidst the crowd. She paused, momentarily caught off guard by his unexpected appearance.

Elly Campbell had expected Adam Jones to leave after dropping her off, not anticipating that he would have the patience to wait for her. Given how much of a nuisance he usually found her, his decision to wait there suggested that something significant must be driving him to “demean” himself. She lowered her eyes, thinking for a moment, and the only plausible explanation that came to mind was Sophie Baker.

With that thought, Elly Campbell’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile as she cast a cold glance at Adam Jones before turning to walk away.

Adam Jones noticed her come out and felt a surge of annoyance when she shot him a cold look before walking off without a second glance. Irritated, he quickly closed the distance between them and blocked her path.

Elly Campbell looked at him indifferently as he stood in her way, her clear eyes filled with detachment.

Although Adam had grown somewhat accustomed to her gaze in recent days, he still felt a fleeting twinge of loss in his chest.

Before he could speak, Elly Campbell beat him to it. “If you’re here to persuade me to let Sophie Baker into the Campbell family, I’m sorry, but please tell her not to harbor any futile hopes. And, President Jones, I hope you, an outsider, stay out of the Campbell family’s affairs!”

Elly Campbell’s voice grew colder with each word.

Her eyes, once filled with admiration and affection, now reflected nothing but growing estrangement.

When she referred to him as an “outsider,” Adam Jones felt the familiar ache in his heart intensify.

From “Adam” to “President Jones,” from lover to outsider…

Despite the four years that had passed, the changes were still unbearable for Adam Jones.

Facing Elly Campbell’s indifferent expression, his sharp brows furrowed slightly. “Since when did I say I was going to talk to you about this?”

“Then why are you here?”

Elly Campbell looked at him coldly, her eyes filled with a silent challenge—there was nothing else that could bring President Jones to her willingly.

Adam Jones was momentarily taken aback. The righteous reproaches he had prepared suddenly got stuck in his throat.
