Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 196

After hanging up, Samuel stood by the window for quite some time.

Whoever hurt Ella was going to pay for it, Catherine or Emma included.

Samuel was plotting his revenge when two little children slipped into the luxury ward. He was too focused on his plan that he didn't notice them.

He smoked one cigarette after another, finishing a pack at a go. Then, he put his phone back into his pocket and walked to the ward.

He briefly stopped before entering. Looking through the window, he saw a little girl in a lavender coat trying to climb the bed.

When she got on, she took off her mask and kissed Ella, who was sleeping, on her cheek.

Who was she?

Was she the girl who came with Jerry to his office? Samuel looked adoringly at the girl.

She seemed to like Ella very much.

When she kissed Ella, Jerry's grandmother was gazing affectionately at them.

Viola was also with them. She had her back turned to him, so Samuel couldn't see her face.

Staring for a while, Samuel opened the door gently, startling everyone in the room besides Viola who seemed unaffected by his appearance.

Although Jane was ready to meet her daddy again, she was still in shock when she saw him in front of her. She quickly put the mask back on, albeit disappointed.

Jane couldn't understand why Ella forbade her from calling Samuel daddy, but she remained obedient nonetheless.

"Daddy!" Jerry was in a panic for a moment but soon calmed down. He ran to Samuel, hugging his leg.

Samuel reached out and held Jerry up, "How did you get here?"

Jerry answered honestly, "The driver brought us here after school. Jane, her daddy and mummy aren't at home, so I brought her with me. Is it okay, daddy?"

Samuel looked at the little girl, his eyes glistened with joy.

Jerry continued, giving Samuel no chance to reply, "Also daddy, mummy likes Jane. I'm sure she'll be very happy to see her."

It seemed Jane and Ella were very close to each other, which confused Samuel.

Ella had just returned to C Country recently. He couldn't figure it out how the two became close in such a short time.

Melody noticed that Samuel seemed to be uneasy, so she spoke, "Jerry, let the driver take Jane home. Otherwise, her daddy and mummy will be worried. Your mummy is getting better, don't worry."

Although she'd love to tell her son that Jane was his daughter, she didn't want to upset Ella. So she kept the secret until Ella was ready to speak on it.

Samuel put his son down and approached Jane. He squatted down, getting on the same eye-level as her.

This made Melody and Jerry react with mixed feelings. They were both nervous, worried and excited all at the same time.

For one thing, they were afraid that Samuel would find out that Jane was his daughter. However, at the same time, it would be exciting if he did.

"Jane." Samuel called her name gently. Jane could hardly resist calling him "daddy".

Finally, she fought back her desire and responded, "Uncle Samuel."

Samuel smiled happily, stroking her dark hair, "Why are you still wearing the mask? You aren't getting better?"

He suddenly thought Jane was deliberately wearing the mask. Was she avoiding him?
