Trapped with a Lawyer

Ella opened her eyes again with her mind blank, "Mr. Shao, do not shed crocodile tears for me. You are just a wolf in sheep's clothing, good at hiding your emotions well!" Four years ago, when she released the divorce papers that she had signed, everyone thought she did not appreciate the good things in her life..

They thought there must be something wrong with her to divorce a man so good and thoughtful.

A wolf in sheep's clothing?

Samuel loosened his grip, And looked at her face, full of bruises and her forehead swathed in gauze.

Then he snatched the quilt off her, without permission, which made her scared.

Luckily, she had changed into a clean hospital gown with the help of nurses when she was in coma. So, all Samuel could see were more cuts throughout her body, a mixture of deep and shallow ones. Ella straightened her clothes and covered herself with the quilt in a rage of humiliation, "Get out!"

It was bold for him to behave rudely towards her with his fiancee outside, she thought.

To her surprise, he left without even looking back.

Seeing him shut the door vigorously, Ella was left stunned.

Go away!

Go away! The words bounced off the walls, even after he had left.

'What did he come here for then if he was going to leave so quickly?

To maintain his good image?

Of course.

Son of a bitch!' Ella scolded, as thoughts ran through her mind.

With nothing to do, Ella watched all the videos that related to her, after the accident.

Including the follow-up news released by reporters and the interviews about Eden, Samuel and her friends Lola, Lillian and Daisy.

All she could recall from the videos were Samuel's words, "It depends on my fiancee."

So the reason why he came here to visit her was that netizens called for it under the permission of his fiancee?

Thinking of this fact, she didn't feel good.

She was so immersed in this thought that she did not notice Lola, Lillian and Daisy bring Sven back into the room.

Lola asked curiously, "When did Samuel go?"

"A while ago." Ella collected herself

And switched off her microblog and phone, looking up at them.

"Keep an eye on Catherine. She looks like a woman of means, if you know what I mean."

Lillian reminded her.

Ella nodded. She had known that, since four years ago, when Catherine claimed that she was to blame for finding a man to rape her and sent her to prison.

Her actions were unfathomable.

Maybe she had something to do with this accident, Ella searched her mind. But there were no clues as of yet.

"It's okay. We will teach her a lesson whenever we meet her, just like that time when we were in the mall."

Daisy's words made them laugh.

They chatted for a while, then Daisy offered to take Jane to her home. She wasn't working and had time to take care of two children at the same time. They all knew about Jane.

And they also knew how Ella felt and that she would not tell Samuel about Jane.

Lola nodded with Lillian, "Jane can also come to my home, or Lillian's, as long as she is in good company."

Deeply touched, Ella shook her head, "There is no need to bother you. Jane has a babysitter and Grandma will drop by with Jerry once in a while."

Daisy shook her head in disagreement, "Both the babysitter and Jane are welcome in my home. If Grandma wants to see Jane, she can come with Jerry as well." Daisy insisted on taking Jane to her home and Ella had to give in.

As darkness fell, they left, leaving Ella alone once again.

It was nearly nighttime when Melody got the news about Ella. She immediately initiated a video chat with her to see how she is doing.

They talked for more than 30 minutes and then a nurse brought her delicious meal. She had a few mouthful of food. Later, she saw Eden approach her room. "Ella, you are becoming famous.

Many businessmen have contacted me and want you to be their spokesman!"

Eden talked to her about the good news with excitement as soon as he walked in.

"Oh," Ella replied, disinterested.

"Moreover, there are dozens of plays offering you lead roles that you can choose from, after you have completed filming this one."

Eden fetched a chair and sat beside her.

That's not bad!

Her spirit became lighter, just a little bit, and she nodded to Eden with a smile.

"You know, Amber? She asked me if you are Samuel's ex-wife through Wechat in the crew group. Oh, my god! She did not know until today. That's ridiculous!"

Ella also saw the message in the crew group and had seen that someone had responded to her.

So why did it matter that she was Samuel's ex-wife?

There were always people who had nothing better to do that always wanted to link her with him. It seemed that she became famous because of him, which was false, and made her upset. Ella's rising to fame would make a fortune and this made Eden joyful and he continued to talk to Ella for a long time before he left.

All was quiet at the dead of night and many people fell asleep.

Ella didn't sleep peacefully because she was in a hospital.

Suddenly, outside her ward, the squeaks of leather shoes echoed

In the hallway.

A man pushed open the door of the room, where Ella was, and entered.

He saw the woman, wrapped in gauze, sleeping soundly.

He sneered. How could a soon-to-be-famous actress drop her guard and sleep in a hospital?

What a stupid woman she was, he thought.

He stared at her passionately and her eyes opened as if they had a telepathic connection.

Their eyes met each other.

Ella freaked out that he appeared by her bed at midnight.

"Are you insane?"

She took a few deep breaths before returning to a normal state.

The man said indifferently after sitting by her bed, "No, can't I come to the hospital?"

"What are you doing here at the middle of the night?"

She said snappishly and cast a stern glance at him then tore her eyes away.

"To see you. Only on the request of netizens."

"Get out!"

Ella felt restless to see him and covered her head with the quilt. She intended to ignore him and go back to sleep. However, the man stood up, walked round the bed and lay on the other side of it. He held her in his arms. "Samuel, how audacious can you be?"

Goaded beyond endurance, she threw back the covers and glared at Samuel who had already closed his eyes. She would have kicked him off the bed, if she wasn't in searing pain.

Samuel opened his eyes and put his forefinger on her lips, "Shh, close your eyes and go to sleep, or I'll kiss you

Until you fall asleep."

Ella knew he would act on what he said. They were lying so close. She looked at him, rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.

She snatched his forefinger, dragged him closer and kissed him possessively.

Her kiss turned him on. He kissed her back as a response. Seeing his intoxication, she bit him on the lips with her teeth with force. "Ah...!" Samuel felt pain and raised into a sitting position, his lips bleeding. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
