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.
