Adam Jones never let go of her hand, his eyes fixed on her intently, like a willful child.
Although his face showed no emotion, his complexion was growing increasingly unsightly.
"Okay, let's go in," he said.
Seeing that Elly Campbell finally agreed to get down, Adam's face lit up with joy, but he kept holding on to her arm without letting go.
Elly helped him into the room, both of them completely ignoring Sophie Baker who was standing in the corridor outside, still pretending to be pitiful.
Sophie hadn't expected that when Elly saw her holding Adam, there would be no reaction at all. Not only did Elly not abandon Adam and leave, but she even stayed to accompany him.
Remembering how humbly Adam had acted in front of Elly just a moment ago, compared to earlier in the hospital room when he seemed to loathe her very existence, Sophie's teeth itched with hatred.
Even hugging Adam couldn't goad Elly; she couldn't stand it.
She always lost to Elly, why? Why?
