Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 149

"Doctor, I'm her agent and assistant. How's Ella now? Please tell me she's okay." He prayed.

Sven took off his mask as well and grinned at Eden, "Eden, mommy will soon be fine." Sven admired his dad more, after seeing him in action.

Eden gazed at Sven in astonishment. He used to see him a lot in America when he visited Ella at her home.

Besides, he was the one who sent Sven to town to Melody. Hence, they shared a close relationship.

He took a glance at Chuck, then he looked at Sven, "Sven Tang, do you know him?"

Upon hearing his son being called "Sven Tang", Chuck frowned. He observed that the two seemed to be familiar with each other.

"Eden, this is my dad Chuck, and now I'm Sven Si." Sven sounded proud when he introduced his father.

'Daddy is so cool!' Sven thought to himself. Though some parts of Ella's body were badly bruised and she was bleeding profusely, Sven's dad had calmly cleaned the wounds, applied medicinal ointment on and bandaged them.

Chuck? Eden froze for a moment. 'This fatherless boy turned out to be the son of Chuck?

That's insane. And Jane's father is that famous lawyer. These two kids really have an unusual background.' Eden thought to himself in shock.

"Okay then, do you want to see mommy Ella?" Ella had been taken to a luxurious ward by a nurse.

"Yes!" Sven then followed Eden.

"Doctor Chuck, how's Ella now?" Eden and Chuck walked to the lobby, shoulder to shoulder.

Chuck pulled back his son, who was walking in front of them, then he put his hands on Sven's little shoulders, "The bruises will soon heal. The wounds made by the poisonous snakes on her arm have been cleaned and I applied a medical ointment to quicken the healing process. Though the wound on her forehead is a little deep, there will be no scars left. Other wounds are nothing to worry about."

They were just some bruises. They would heal after the ointment was applied in a couple of days.

"Then why did she loose consciousness?" Eden asked out of confusion.

Chuck laughed, "Because of the pain." Even though, the level of pain that Ella felt was not high enough to make anyone loose consciousness, Ella feared feeling pain. Chuck remembered the last time he applied medicine to her hand.

Even though he was just picking out glass shards, disinfecting and applying medicinal ointment, she bit Samuel's arm firmly.

...

When he left the hospital, a crowd of journalists approached and surrounded Eden.

"Mr. Eden, can you tell us Ms. Ella's present condition?"

"Mr. Eden, is Ms. Ella awake?"

"Many citizens are worried about her, can you give us some information?"

...

Upon seeing the crowd of journalists, Eden was delighted. Ella's popularity had grown beyond his expectation, since so many journalists were craving any new information.

He cleared his throat and said, "Ella and I are very thankful for your support. Doctor Chuck performed her surgery. At the moment, Ella is out of the woods and recovering. She will be fine after a period of recuperation."

'Doctor Chuck did the surgery?' The crowd erupted in murmurs. The journalists clung to Eden's every word, "Mr. Eden, is it true that Ms. Ella has good relationships with Doctor Chuck, Harry, her ex-husband Samuel, her brother Eason and even Joseph?"

Eden frowned slightly .'What is the reporter trying to insinuate by saying that Ella shared good relationships with several man?' He thought to himself.

Mentioning Eason and Samuel was ambiguous enough. It seemed that this journalist intended to divert attention to other matters and propel rumuors by mentioning Harry, Chuck and Joseph.

"I think that you are forgetting to mention that Ms. Ella also shares great friendships with the wives of the gentlemen you have mentioned. Thanks for your concern."

He headed towards her car after finishing her statement, but the media didn't want to let him go.

"Will her ex-husband Mr. Shao show up with his son to see Ms. Ella's after the incident?"

"Everyone in this country knows that Mr. Shao was her husband. Do they still keep in touch?"

Diverting the subject to Ella's ex-husband Samuel, the journalists kept posing questions.

"I don't know whether Mr. Shao will bring their son to see Ella. But I suggest you focus on Ella's work instead of her private life." After Eden finished, he shouldered through the crowd and got in the car.

A few kilometers away from the Hospital, Eden looked through his rear view mirror, and could still see the crowd of journalists.

He was confused by it.

Samuel didn't leave the court until dusk, due to the complexity of the case.

The moment he stepped out, he was surrounded by a crowd of journalists.

They asked a tirade of questions at the same time, and after a few confused seconds, Samuel understood why he was getting media attention.

It turned out the journalists wanted to know if he would visit Ella after she fell off a cliff when she was filming.

'This stupid woman, can't she be careful when filming?' Samuel's complains remained unvoiced.

Suppressing his emotions, Samuel grinned, "Whether I visit her depends on my fiancee."

"You need your fiancee's approval? Does it mean that you don't have feelings for Ms. Ella anymore?"

"Will Ms. Ella be upset if she heard about this? Don't you think that you are being cruel to her?"

Samuel's smile became even brighter because that was exactly what he wanted.

However, the premise was that her present body condition was capable of tolerating his vengeance and affliction.

No longer answering their questions, he got into his Cadillac and switched on his phone.

He frowned when he saw the highest trending video on Weibo. He didn't notice Ellie, who was sitting in the front passenger seat and was peeking at him through the rear view mirror.

Then he called Chuck, "How's Ella?"

"Finally, the ex called. What, you want me to help hype it up?" Chuck unusually mocked Samuel because he felt good to have his son by his side.

After hearing the tone in Chuck's voice, Samuel roughly guessed Ella's situation.

Then he hung up without responding to Chuck's mocking words.

Leaning on the backseat, he pondered for a moment. Then said to Ellie, "Call Catherine and tell her to come to the hospital with me."

Ellie became speechless for a moment because Samuel always requested her to contact his fiancee

She felt sympathy for her friend Ella as she called Catherine. She could not help asking, "Mr. Shao, do you still love Ella?"

Ella. Samuel opened his eyes, yanked out of his relaxing state by her question..

"You know her." It was not a question but an affirmative sentence.

How come he didn't know Ellie, who was married and had been working for him for two years, knew that woman.

"Yes, we were classmates in college." She acknowledged their relationship frankly.

Before that, Ellie thought there was no need to mention Ella if she was not there.

She definitely wouldn't lie since Samuel asked.

"So, you're on her side?" Samuel smiled lopsidedly and continued without waiting for Ellie's response. "Well done, Ella!

All of the three people in this car are related to you. How come I didn't know my wife has so many friends?" He asked rhetorically.
