Daisy Thompson's eyes lit up when she saw Adam Jones, and she performed her aggrieved expression with even more vigor, "Adam..."
As her son walked towards her, she assumed he would stop in front of her. However, to her surprise, he didn't even glance her way but walked straight past her, towards Elly Campbell.
"How are you feeling, Elly? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
As soon as he returned, he had seen that old woman Daisy Thompson push his wife fiercely, causing his whole heart to clench with fear, wishing he could rush over immediately and steady his wife.
Fortunately, his wife managed to brace herself against the rockery in the yard to prevent herself from falling.
But when he had hurried over, seeing his wife's face looking somewhat pale, the urge to kill strengthened within him.
Elly had already recovered by now, and her stomach didn't hurt as much as it did when Daisy Thompson initially pushed her.
