What? Yang's hand had a stab wound. Ella burst into tears and hugged Yang. "Thank you very much."
"That's all right. Do you feel better now?" Yang patted Ella's back to comfort her.
Samuel was unhappy to see Ella holding another man. So he pulled her back immediately.
He was annoyed by the scene that was unfolding before him, Ella holding another man's hand and even going as far as hugging him.
"Yang, I'm grateful that you helped Ella. Now, you should take care of yourself. I'll tell your boss that you have asked for leave so that you can recover from your injuries." Samuel had done his investigation on Yang. He, as a general staff, had worked for seven years at a translation company.
"OK, thank you. I'll go back to work as soon as I recover." Yang said to Samuel frankly. He thought that he would be able to continue working, as the cut wasn't serious. He still had function in his arm. But he didn't dare refuse the offer.
Samuel saw through his honesty and sighed quietly.
"Ella, why don't you give us a minute? I need to talk to Yang privately." He wanted to make something clear.
Ella looked at Samuel curiously and nodded obediently. She turned back to Yang. "Yang, take the time to look after yourself. I'll come visit you another day." Her friends, Yang and Monkey still managed to take care of her even to date.
"Yeah, just set your mind at rest. See you soon." Yang laughed and waved his hands.
Ella went outside and left Samuel and Yang in the ward. Samuel sat at the opposite of Yang.
"How do you know my wife?" The words came out of his mouth uninhibited. It was an unnecessary question, but he asked it anyway.
"We studied at the same high school, and became good friends. But we lost contact after graduation." Yang was so honest that he cleared the situation with those few words.
Samuel saw nothing but friendship in Yang's eyes.
He was satisfied with the fact. So he moved on to another line of questioning. "Can you describe the situation in the hotel last night? "
Yang thought for a moment and described it in detail.
Samuel became furious after Yang had finished. It was all too distressing. "What did Ella look like... when you first saw her at the hotel?" Samuel wanted to put his mind at ease about whether Ella had not been raped by any of those assholes.
"She was wet, and her hair was messy. She didn't look well, like all her strength had left her body." Yang recollected carefully.
When he saw her today, the similarity between how she looked like at the hotel and now at the hospital was uncanny. The only difference was that she was wearing dry clothes. Yang looked at Samuel who had become quiet, a frustrated expression on his face.
"Samuel, what's the matter with Ella?" Yang stared at Samuel's depressed expression nervously.
Samuel smoothed his brow and answered. "Yeah, she is alright. By the way, may I ask how much you get per month working at the translation company?" Although Yang was a little bit naive, he was a staunch person.
"It's about 3000 to 4000 a month." Yang gave his salary to his mother every month. So he had little money left for himself.
"How about you come and work for me when you are discharged from hospital after recovering? I'll offer you double the salary and a bonus if you perform well." Samuel was generous to those who were good to his wife, Ella.
Yang was shocked by the offer. Double salary and a bonus? He thought wondering if it was a trap.
He asked cautiously. "You want to hire me?"
Samuel answered with an arched brow and nodded to the affirmative.
