084. My face hurts_1

After the nurse went in, Sophie Baker steeled herself to look at Adam Jones. Although his face didn't show much, she could still detect an increasing sense of impatience emanating from him.

"I'm... I'm sorry, I was just too worried about Lily just now. I didn't mean to be noisy outside..."

"Enough."

Adam interrupted Sophie impatiently, "Doctors will handle Lily's condition; making a fuss here won't help Lily."

Sophie's face grew even paler. Biting her lower lip, her eyes reddened, she lowered her gaze, and said no more.

She was a woman who knew her place, especially in front of Adam. For so many years, she had always been a woman of grace and propriety, little did she know that Adam was fully aware of all her thoughts but simply disdainful to entangle with her over these matters.
