"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?"
