Chapter 1354: 1354. Husband and Wife Meet Looking at the photo left online, it was indeed the person right in front of them; they dared not neglect her and immediately let Elly Campbell in.
It wasn't until she entered the Research Station that Elly's heart finally settled down completely.
During these hours, Elly couldn't stay put, periodically rushing outside to wait, and when exhausted, she would walk back in.
Such was the cycle...
After several hours, just as Elly was tired again and about to re-enter the building, the sound of the helicopter's rotors cfrom above her head.
She suddenly looked up; at the helicopter's door, that tall figure grew larger and larger, approaching her step by step.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Elly!!!" Her eyes suddenly lit up, like a child, she hopped and waved towards the person in the helicopter, "Adam! Adam! I'm here, I'm here..." Before the helicopter had even fully landed and stabilized, Adam Jones had already jumped down and was running swiftly towards Elly.
"Elly!!" "Adam!! Adam!!" The moment the two embraced was so blissful it felt surreal.
Only by tightly holding each other, feeling each other's body heat and breath, could they gradually convince themselves that all of this was real.
They embraced for what felt like a long tbefore Elly, feeling her arms grow sore, reluctantly let go of him. She looked up into Adam's eyes, filled with bloodshot red.
Below his eyes, the dark circles resulted from a prolonged lack of rest, and his cheeks also appeared much thinner.
Compared to how she was well taken care of even after Ethan White's restraint, it was evident the head of the Jones family had had a rough time.
"You must have been exhausted these days..." Elly lifted her hand, gently touching his stubbled cheek, her eyes filled with compassion.
Adam Jones didn't answer, just gazed deeply at her, as if content to spend a lifetjust looking at her.
The next second, he bent down and kissed her...
It was a long-suppressed yearning that burst forth in that moment.
They stood outside for quite a while, as the excitement and thrill buried deep in their hearts gradually calmed down.
They didn't stay long at the Research Station; after bidding farewell, they left.
The Jones family also owned a luxury adventure ship in Antarctica, one whose scale and facilities were no less than Ethan White's.
It was last year that Adam had started preparing for the family's trip to Antarctica.
However, due to many unexpected events, it had not been put to use until now.
But the crew aboard had been waiting all along, and after leaving the Research Station, the two of them boarded the ship.
They were not in a hurry to go back; after reporting safety back to thein homeland, they planned to stay a few more days here. Elly Campbell detailed the events of her restraint by Ethan White to Adam Jones.
Upon hearing that Ethan White had treated his wife with decency and nothing untoward had happened, Adam's expression finally eased a bit. Moreover, given that Elly was saved by Ethan from drowning, Adam actually had a positive impression of him.
As for Elly's suggestion that Ethan might be an old acquaintance and could even bear a grudge against him, Adam didn't take it to heart. "I don't have much of an impression of this person; I spent stinvestigating him recently but found nothing." Adam spoke casually, seemingly not worried by Ethan White's mysterious identity.
