Elly Campbell didn't want to say too much to Adam Jones. The thought of how he had forcefully taken her son away just a few hours earlier made it impossible for her to feel grateful to him, even though he personally brought her to the hospital.

"Do you, President Jones, expect me to ask you to stay and keep me company?"

A trace of sarcasm lingered in Elly's eyes, and when she uttered those words, Adam Jones was momentarily at a loss for a response.

A voice inside him told him that he did indeed want to stay by her side, but on what grounds?

Just because he was her ex-husband, did that give him the responsibility and obligation to stay and care for her?

And her current attitude suggested that she probably really didn't want him to stay.

Suddenly, Adam Jones found himself loathing the words "ex-husband," as those words had begun to make him feel passive in many situations.

Indeed, the next thing Elly said pierced straight into his heart.
