Chapter 210: 210. Unconcealed joy_1 Chapter 210: 210. Unconcealed joy_1 Next to that fiery red sedan, Elly Campbell was squatting there with her sleeves rolled up, changing the tire. Anyone who tried to pull her away was pushed aside.
Blood was still streaming down her forehead, and her appearance looked sowhat shocking.
Helen lendy was swaying, leaning on the young girl beside her, frowning as she looked at Elly Campbell changing the tire.
Adam Jones was startled by Elly’s state and quickened his pace, walking over from the crowd, “Elly Campbell!”
He growled, already leaning down to pull Elly up from the side of the tire.
Elly’s hands, covered in blood and the mud from the tire, looked dirty and unsettling.
Seeing Adam Jones, Elly was montarily baffled, then her eyes brightened, “Adam?!”
In those beautiful eyes, there was an unmasked joy.
Adam was taken aback by her sudden address; he couldn’t rember how long it had been since he last heard Elly call him that.
The last ti he heard her call him that, it had already been four years ago.
Sothing fiercely stirred Adam’s heart; it trembled slightly, as if sothing had fiercely lashed it, leaving him unable to calm down.
In the split second Adam was stunned, Elly’s dirty hands had already tightly grasped the sleeve of his pristine white shirt, “Adam, our tire blew out. You co help change it.”
Elly’s unusual friendliness left Adam sowhat at a loss, but then he slled the strong scent of alcohol on her, and he instantly understood.
The woman was drunk, and not just a little.
He decisively picked Elly up horizontally, “You’re injured; we’re going to the hospital first.”
Elly seed sowhat reluctant and was about to say sothing when she saw Adam’s face tense slightly as he said, “Be good.”
The words that had made it to her lips were forcibly swallowed down. She opened her eyes wide, looking at Adam innocently and pitifully, like a harmless little deer, softening Adam’s heart by half.
Harry Hall, who was waiting for Adam to co back, was also taken aback when he saw Adam holding Elly, who was covered in blood. He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car; before he could speak, he heard Adam say, “Helen lendy is over there; go check on her.”
Upon hearing this, Harry no longer cared to ask Adam what had happened and imdiately started running toward the crowd with long strides.
Adam placed Elly in the back seat of his car, settled himself in the driver’s seat, pressed the gas pedal, and headed straight for the hospital.
Elly sat in the back seat, her gaze wavering between confusion and excitent, occasionally tilting her head to peek at Adam Jones in the driver’s seat, looking sowhat cautious.
“Adam, it wasn’t who ruined the tire. Don’t be mad.”
Her voice was very low, tinged with an obvious uneasiness that seed to seize Adam’s heart as he drove.
This Elly, so cautious and eager to please, suddenly reminded him of the Elly who had been like that during their three years of marriage.
Feeling sowhat troubled, he pursed his lips and, after a mont of silence, his voice hoarse, he spoke, “I’m not mad; you’re injured, I’ll take you to the hospital to get bandaged first, just sit still and don’t move.”
“Okay.”
Elly seed very happy and indeed stayed still in the back seat without moving.
On the way to the hospital, Adam’s emotions were still very complex, with a surge of feelings forcefully suppressed in his heart starting to churn incessantly.
The back seat was extrely quiet, and when Adam parked the car at the hospital and got out to carry Elly, he discovered that she had fallen asleep.
