章節 112: 112. I swung back with a slap_1

"All right, all right, go on, take good care of her."

The Old Lady was overjoyed, smiling from ear to ear. Although curious about why Elly had been carried back home by her grandson, it was clearly a good opportunity for them to mend their relationship, and she very sensibly chose not to disturb them.

Adam Jones carried Elly back to the bedroom, also helped her take off her coat and shoes. Throughout the process, Elly slept deeply, her expression twisted uncomfortably.

Adam went to the bathroom, brought back a basin of hot water, and, squatting beside Elly, began to wipe her face.

Elly, disturbed in her sleep, was not pleased. She raised her hand and slapped away Adam's hand, "Go away, stop bothering me."

Her low voice carried a small complaint, like a stubborn wild cat, leaving Adam both amused and a bit at a loss.

Apart from having seen her a few times in childhood, Adam had known Elly for over eight years; yet, this was the first time he had seen her like this.
