Chapter 6: 006. Four Years Later Chapter 6: 006. Four Years Later Editor: Henyee Translations Elly Campbell didn’t know how she had made her way out of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Departnt. She felt lost and disoriented, her hand resting absently on her flat abdon. Who would have thought that a little life was growing inside her?
She had once dread of bearing Adam Jones’s child, but never imagined it would happen after she had asked him for a divorce.
After a mont of dazed silence, she suddenly grabbed her phone, her fingers trembling as she frantically dialed a number—
“Grandpa, I need a favor from you.”
Four years later.
Boston First Hospital.
“Dr. Campbell, the patient in Ergency Room 3 is in a critical condition. Dr. Matt needs you there imdiately.”
“Okay.”
By the ti Elly Campbell reached the door of the ergency room, she was taken aback by the sight of the patient on the resuscitation bed.
“Lily Jones?”
Lily Jones, Adam Jones’s sister. Elly had never imagined she would run into her, whom she never got on well with the first thing after she returned to the country.
Elly Campbell furrowed her brows briefly, but there was no ti to dwell on it. She turned to the young man standing nearby, his face filled with urgent concern, and asked, “What’s the situation with the patient?”
“My wife’s water broke, doctor, please, you have to save her…”
The man’s words were rushed and jumbled, his nervousness evident.
Elly Campbell gave a slight frown, quickly realizing the man wouldn’t be able to provide any clear information. Without hesitation, she turned and rushed into the ergency room.
She left the man anxiously pacing outside the ergency room, his unease growing as the silence from within deepened. Every passing second seed to stretch his anxiety even further, leaving him unsure of what to do next.
From a distance, the sound of hurried footsteps approached, growing louder. Soon, a figure appeared outside the ergency room, radiating a chilling tension that was impossible to ignore.
“What happened to Lily?”
“We were just leaving the house when suddenly her water broke…”
Adam Jones said nothing more, his brows furrowed tightly as his gaze remained fixed on the ergency room door, his expression tense.
He was well aware of his sister’s fragile health—pregnancy had never been an option for her. If sothing went wrong…
His thoughts were interrupted when the door to the ergency room suddenly swung open. A figure erged, pulling off a mask to reveal a delicate face he hadn’t seen in a long ti.
But at this mont, this face was not on him but towards his brother-in-law next to him.
“Are you Lily Jones’s family?” Elly Campbell asked urgently. “Your wife is in critical condition, and we need to operate imdiately. Please sign here.”
She handed over the form and then turned to an intern beside her, giving a sharp command, “Prepare for general anesthesia.”
“Understood, Dr. Campbell,” the intern responded quickly.
Elly Campbell nodded.
After giving the instructions, Elly Campbell hurried back into the ergency room without once glancing in Adam Jones’s direction.
In truth, she hadn’t seen him at all, unaware of the shock and intensity reflected in his usually stoic eyes.
Elly Campbell!
The mont Adam Jones saw the face behind the removed mask, his heart jolted violently.
There she was—the woman who had disappeared without a trace four years ago, the one he had searched for in vain all this ti. She had returned, without warning, and without any preparation on his part.
She had re-entered his world, catching him completely off guard.
The hand hidden in his pocket tightened into a fist, struggling to contain the rush of emotions swelling within him.
Four years. She had been gone for four years, and now she reappeared, leaving him in complete disbelief with her entirely unfamiliar role.
