Chapter 1023: 1023. Heart, hurts like hell Chapter 1023: 1023. Heart, hurts like hell Listening to her daughter’s comforting words eased his mood considerably.
Upon seeing Adam Jones, he even feigned curiosity and asked, “Why has Adam co too?”
“I had just been at Adam’s place when Mom called to say that Grandpa had an accident. Adam was worried that I would be anxious, so he accompanied here.”
Sophie Baker spoke before Adam Jones could, sounding as if she was explaining the reason for Adam’s presence, but in reality, she was deliberately showing off to Elly Campbell.
Adam Jones furrowed his brows imperceptibly upon hearing her words, his gaze shifting towards Elly, who was quietly staring at the ergency room door, looking pale.
Seeing her looking so pale and staring absentmindedly at the ergency room door appeared calm, but her calmness made Adam all the more concerned.
He took a step towards Elly and gently took her hand, his eyes full of pity.
Elly was startled for a mont, then looked up at Adam. The fear and unease that she had been desperately suppressing surged to her eyes, and she instantly felt teary.
Sophie’s position was very close to Elly, and as Adam stood by Elly’s side, from Sophie’s perspective, he also seed to be standing on her side.
Seeing Adam standing behind her offering consolation, Sophie indeed felt triumphantly joyful.
But in order to appear concerned for the old man, she kept her gaze on the ergency room and therefore did not notice the interaction between Adam and Elly.
“Dad’s coming out.”
At that mont, Elly called out, making everyone’s heart race as they stepped forward.
The head of the ergency departnt ca out, his expression sowhat grave.
“The Old Master has suffered a severe blow to the back of his head, leading to substantial intracranial hemorrhage. He’s not out of danger yet and needs to be moved to the ICU for further observation. Whether he can pull through depends on himself, but…”
At this point, the doctor paused, his expression complicated.
“The Old Master is already eighty years old, so… you should be ntally prepared.”
With the doctor putting it so gently, everyone understood what he ant.
Intracranial hemorrhage at such an old age…
Being a doctor herself, Elly understood the implications better than anyone else.
She closed her eyes gently, feeling a choke in her chest.
Only the Baker mother and daughter, upon hearing such news, wished they could go back and celebrate with firecrackers the joy of such an occasion.
With the troubleso old man out of the way, their takeover of the Campbell Family was just a matter of ti.
As for that wretch Elly, who had previously relied on the Old Master’s support to humiliate them, what else could she do now?
With the Old Master moved to the ICU, family mbers weren’t allowed in; they had to wait outside.
Only a few people were permitted to stay, so in the end, only Jas Campbell, the eldest son, and Elly, the daughter, remained.
Elly stood up silently from her chair, her whole body numb.
This feeling was sothing she had only experienced a month ago, and now she had to go through it again.
She walked out alone in silence, her appearance so helpless, as if abandoned by the entire world.
Adam Jones saw this and felt a pang in his heart.
He wished he could rush up to her and embrace her with words of comfort.
Thinking thus, he followed her steps.
He stepped forward, took hold of Elly’s hand, and wanted to lead her away.
Elly paused her steps, then the next second, she shook off Adam’s hand.
