Trapped with a Lawyer

"Yes it's her. Please. wait for me at home. I have to make sure that she gets a blood transfusion, and I'll be back." Samuel pleaded. His voice was gentle and his face concocted with emotion. Ella shook her head and followed him home, but her face was expressionless, as if she was merely a shell.

When they arrived at the old house, Samuel walked Ella to the living room, told her to wait for him, and left for the hospital.

Not long after he left, Ella left the old house too.

She went back to the villa.

She went upstairs and prepared a bath. The rain had completely ruined her phone, so she called Melody with the telephone in the house, and told her that she was alright.

She asked about Jerry, and satisfied that he was okay too, she hanged up the phone and proceeded to take a bath, and went to sleep.

The next day was a sunny day. Ella got up, and packed her things. She had made her final decision, and nothing or noone could change her mind.

She took a taxi to the hospital. The wound on her hand was almost healed, but after the rain last night, it seemed to have gotten worse. She needed Chuck to tend to it.

When she arrived at the hospital where Chucked worked, the receptionist told her that Chuck was in the ward on the 3rd floor.

Ella waited for him for almost a half an hour, but he didn't came down. So she decided to go upstairs to see what was going on.

The smoking area on the 3rd floor.

Samuel put out another cigarette, and went into a private ward.

Wearing a mask, Chuck was looking at the medical equipment by the hospital bed. When he saw Samuel, he said, "The patient's condition is stable, except for a broken arm, and there is nothing seriously wrong with her. She is expected to wake up soon."

Samuel nodded slightly. "Then, can you find two senior nurses to take care of her. I have to go." There was something wrong with Ella. He needed to go back.

But when he stepped out of the room, Emma gradually woke up. "Sam..." Her soft voice held him back.

"She is awake." Chuck called out to him. Samuel hesitated to turn back. His loyalties were split.

He turned back to look at Emma and she was staring at him.
