Chapter 82: 082. Buffoon_1 Chapter 82: 082. Buffoon_1 Sophie Baker glanced sideways at Adam Jones, unsure whether he was worried about Lily Jones or because Elly Campbell was performing the surgery on Lily. After a mont of thought, she said, “Adam, why don’t you and Mr. Moore go grab sothing to eat? I’ll keep an eye on Lily here. Don’t worry, I’ll notify you guys imdiately if anything happens.”
Even though she really didn’t want to stay here, as it was boring and tedious, she had to gain the favor of Adam and Christopher Moore, and it seed that her only way in was through Lily Jones.
That was also the reason why she had to endure Lily’s unfiltered mouth.
Adam Jones frowned slightly with impatience in his tone, “No need.”
“Adam…”
Sophie Baker wanted to persuade further, but she was stopped by Adam’s cold and unmistakably impatient glance, “You go eat. My sister Lily doesn’t need soone else to watch over her.”
Sophie Baker’s face turned pale in an instant; she hadn’t expected her kindness to result in such an embarrassnt from Adam.
The “soone else” he referred to was obviously not Mr. Moore but her.
Her fingernails dug deep into her palm, and it took a great deal of effort for her to suppress this humiliation. Managing a weak smile, she said, “I… I’m not hungry either.”
Christopher Moore shook his head as he watched Sophie’s thankless struggle.
This woman had never been simple-minded, especially towards him, her brother-in-law. She thought she hid her intentions well, but he could see them clearly, let alone he, her brother-in-law.
“Miss Baker, if you’re hungry, go eat. There’s no need for so many people to stay here.”
Though his words were softer than Adam’s, Christopher Moore’s statent made no difference to Sophie.
Essentially, they were telling her she was superfluous here.
Angered, Sophie’s face beca even paler as resentnt towards Adam and Christopher Moore built up inside her.
In front of Elly Campbell, they would refer to her with respect, addressing her as “sister-in-law,” but when it ca to her, they were in such a hurry to send her away!
If it weren’t for his wife, who would want to stay in this odd and morbid place where people could die at any mont?
Yes, what was she keeping watch for? Perhaps Elly Campbell could even cause your sick wife to die in there!
Sophie Baker’s face twisted with rage. Despite feeling furious internally, she could only show a facade of sweetness and innocence, “Then… then I won’t disturb you, I will bring so food for you later.”
After speaking, she turned and left, her expression once again contorted with anger.
Sophie Baker returned in less than half an hour, which ant the surgery on Lily had already been ongoing for three to four hours.
In her hands, she carried so carefully selected pastries, “Adam, Mr. Moore, I’ve brought so food for you. Please, help yourselves to keep hunger at bay.”
Adam Jones did not answer, his attention still firmly fixed on the closed doors of the operating room, oblivious to Sophie’s presence.
Christopher Moore looked at Adam, unable to believe what his wife had told him—that his eldest brother had kicked out his sister-in-law because he was in love with Miss Baker in his heart.
From his perspective, it seed his brother held his sister-in-law in his heart more.
“Thank you.”
Good manners prevented Christopher Moore from making Sophie feel worse as he took the food from her hands without eating it.
Just at that mont, two nurses ca from outside carrying so als, heading towards the operating room door. They were about to enter when Sophie stopped them.
