TimeNovelChapter 1443: 1443. No one can replace Adam Jones's hand froze again mid-action, and his originally composed face now showed a fleeting trace of pallor.
After a moment, he raised his head to look at her with a stiff face and furrowed brows, saying, "Stop talking nonsense." "I wasn't talking nonsense. Back then, when I was on the phone with you, I didn't notice the mountain landslide behind me. I almost..." Before Elly Campbell could finish her sentence, Adam Jones had already covered her mouth with his hand. Her palm-sized face was now only exposed through a pair of blinking eyes, gazing at his irritated expression.
"If you keep misbehaving and talking nonsense, I'll take you back to Boston right now. You can forget about coming here for the rest of your life." Upon hearing this, Elly Campbell immediately fell silent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt wasn't that she was scared by Adam Jones's threat; rather, she noticed the fleeting fear that passed through his eyes as he spoke those words.
When the call suddenly cut off, he must have been terrified.
A burst of guilt and remorse suddenly surged in Elly Campbell's heart.
She reached out and removed his hand that was covering her mouth, but instead of letting go, she held onto it tightly and said solemnly: "Ethan White got hurt because he saved me. I'm not related to him in any way, so of course I don't want to owe him anything. If something serious were to happen to him because of me, wouldn't I have to remember him for the rest of my life? Keep him in my thoughts? Is that what you want-forto think about him for a lifetime?" Adam Jones pressed his lips together, clearly understanding that Elly Campbell was explaining what had happened on the plane. His expression eased slightly, but he looked like a sulking, grumpy husband, maintaining a stern silence.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as you wantingto keep him in my heart forever." "Don't you dare!" At her words, Adam Jones turned his head sharply, glaring at her with fiery eyes, only to meet her amused gaze.
Elly Campbell chuckled twice and reassured him, "Alright, don't be upset. In this world, even if I owe someone, I only want to owe you, my man. Any favors from other men, I'll pay back in full. I don't want to owe anyone else anything." Her words instantly pleased Adam Jones, whose previously stern face finally softened into a hint of a smile. "At least you've got ssense." "Of course! My Mister Island Lord is one of a kind in my heart-irreplaceable by anyone else." She obediently scooted closer to him, burying her face in his chest.
Adam Jones smiled as he pulled her into his arms, his eyes brimming with affection and a lingering trace of post- disaster fear.
A moment later, Elly Campbell raised her head from his embrace and asked, “Can I go check on his condition now?"
Adam Jones didn't like the idea of his wife going to see another man, but he also didn't want her to be entangled with anyone else unnecessarily. Reluctantly, he agreed. "I'll go with you." Elly Campbell smiled brightly, "Alright."
Thankfully, despite the mountain landslide destroying homes andm causing injuries both large and small, there had been no casualties. It was, at best, a small consolation. The affected villagers were now being settled into different tents, awaiting medical treatment.
In addition to the medical personnel Adam Jones had brought along, government rescue teams arrived several hours later to assist.
Ethan White had been taken by Adam Jones's subordinates to the medical tent for wound treatment. He cooperated fully with the medical staff, though the lines on his face remained tense and did not relax.
