"Elly Campbell, get up and drink the coffee."
He leaned over Elly, softly calling her a few times, but Elly just furrowed her brow and turned over without any other reaction.
"Elly, stop sleeping for now and drink the coffee."
He walked straight to the bed, pulled the sprawled Elly up, and said, "Drink the coffee, then you can go back to sleep!"
The deep voice carried an irresistible authority, forcibly disturbing Elly's sleep.
Entirely vexed, Elly's eyes opened groggily, yet her gaze was vacant and unfocused, signaling she hadn't truly woken up.
Adam Jones sat by her with the coffee in hand, and she drank it sleepily as Adam fed her, then collapsed back onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Adam Jones found Elly's state amusing and infuriating at the same time, yet he also felt that this livelier Elly was somehow more endearing and approachable.
After tucking Elly in and dimming the lights, he then went to the study.
