Elly Campbell was taken aback, not answering.
She always remembered that moment when Helen Melendy blocked the knife for her, and she could never forget the helpless look when Helen lay weakly in her arms.
If Helen could risk her life for her, wouldn't she be willing to do the same in return?
She hadn't answered yet, but Adam Jones knew the answer.
He raised his hand to his lips and let out two disappointed chuckles, "It seems my question was somewhat redundant. You're willing to give her your life, let alone abandon your husband and child?"
"Adam..."
"Elly."
Adam Jones interrupted her in a hoarse voice, eyes red as he fiercely restrained the bitterness in his heart, staring at her and lowly asking:
"When will you... be able to put me first?"
He had always felt very insecure in front of her.
Even though they were in love, he felt he couldn't rank near the top in her heart.
