At noon, Samuel received a call just as he had finished his meeting. Soon after, he immediately drove to the hospital.
In the I.C.U.
The two guards at the door of the ward greeted Samuel as he walked in, "Mr. Shao!"
"How is she?"
"Doctor Si was here a couple of minutes ago and he gave us strict orders to keep her under surveillance, then he left."
"Hmm, I see."
Pushing the door open, Samuel walked in.
Amber lay lifelessly in bed, a stark contrast to her usual demeanour.
She had just turned 20, but the affliction she had been through, made her look much older.
Hearing the footsteps, Amber opened her eyes, not expecting to see Samuel.
But the surprise in her eyes didn't last long.
"Why am I here?" Her voice sounded raspy because she had been asleep for a long time.
Samuel stood beside her bed, "That doesn't matter. Amber, tell me, who is the mastermind?"
Though he had an inkling to what her answer would be, Samuel wanted to hear it from her mouth.
After fighting to stay alive, Amber was willing to finally name the master behind the puppeteering.
"I'll tell you, only if Mr. Shao, you can guarantee the safety of my family." Catherine had been threatening her, using her family to convince her to confess to everything, by giving them money.
Samuel understood what she meant, "I can send you and your family abroad after you have recovered."
To cover her crimes, that ruthless woman had successively killed 5 people. Plus, she had sent several assassins to kill Amber when she was in a coma.
However, the bodyguards he hired were committed to their job, ensuring Amber survived the assassinations.
Somehow Amber believed Samuel. Without hesitation, she revealed the mastermind, "Catherine."
Amber resented Catherine, because it was she who made her life a living hell.
'At least this snake won't get away with it!' She thought to herself, although she didn't know if she could get her revenge fulfilled.
'So it's her!' Samuel nodded, "Thank you for telling me. You should rest now."
As he was about to leave, he heard Amber's faint voice, "Mr. Shao, why are so calm? Aren't you going to take vengeance?" 'Isn't Ella the love of his life?' She was confused. 'Why does he act like what I told him is not important?'
Samuel halted and sneered, "Oh, I'm not a little boy. Both Catherine and Emma shall pay for what they did."
His voice was dripping with determination. 'The sisters will regret ever thinking about hurting my Ella' he thought to himself.
Amber was relived after hearing this. If evidence was found, Catherine would certainly be sentenced to death, then Amber wouldn't need to worry about the safety of her family.
As he left, he asked the bodyguards to stay on guard. Then he headed towards Ella's luxury ward.
The room was quiet. Ella had just fallen asleep, feeling too weak to do anything.
Bored, Melody was reading a book concerning Health Care which was given by Samuel. The presbyopic glasses was firmly sitting on the bridge of her nose.
When she saw Samuel, Melody stood up from the sofa, "Sam, she's asleep."
"I know." He nodded and walked towards the bed, noticing that Ella had slept with her phone in her hand.
