In these past few days, although she had said nothing and always appeared joyful in his presence, in reality… she was not happy at all.
Her own husband completely forgot about her, even calling out another woman's name when he opened his eyes—remembering only that other woman. How could she possibly feel happy about it?
He gently took her hand, afraid that she would notice, so he used very little strength and was extremely careful not to make any big movements that might wake her.
His eyes rested quietly on her sleeping face, and in a very low voice, he spoke to the dreaming Elly Campbell, "I will definitely remember you."
He saw Elly Campbell's initially furrowed brows slowly relax as if soothed by his words.
Adam Jones, feeling better, allowed a smile to form and sat close beside her, holding her hand without letting go.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes again and glanced at the woman whose hand he held.
