Chapter 1440: 1440. Don’t want to get involved in ambiguity

Adam Jones cast a cold glance at him, then withdrew his gaze and fetched the medical kit to treat Elly Campbell’s wound.

Elly Campbell’s wound was deep, with the skin and flesh already split open. The rainwater soaking it had caused it to faintly turn pale.
