Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 42

Emma, covering herself with the quilt, heard what they said clearly. 'It must have been that damn Ella! She's always trying to retaliate against me." Her voice was neither loud nor low, but all people could hear it.

Speaking of retaliation, no one would think it was overstated. Especially after the farce between them at the hotel last night.

Ella, as Samuel's wife, was likely to make Emma suffer.

"How did she know that?" Samuel looked at Anna coldly.

Anna told Samuel what happened when she ordered lunch. She didn't believe Ella would do that. However, the evidences all pointed towards her.

It was not a big deal, but it couldn't be ignored. Emma was fine. Now it all boiled down to what Samuel would do next.

Samuel walked to the bedside calmly, trying to pull off Emma's quilt.

Emma grasped the quilt tightly, "Go away. I don't want you to see me like this!"

"Emma." Hearing Samuel's voice, Emma seemed to calm down.

She uncovered her eyes slowly. Her forehead was covered with red spots.

"Samuel." Felt wronged, Emma was in tears.

"How are you?" There was not a trace of love in his words. He was not showing any sign of care or gentleness as Emma would expect of him.

She covered her head again, "Go! I won't forgive Ella." Emma was convinced that it was Ella.

Samuel looked at her and didn't say anything, "Have a good rest. I'll bear all your expenses."

He would bear all expenses. Everyone knew what Samuel meant instantly.

He was defending Ella. It was not important whether Ella did it or not. The point was he would solve it quietly before this thing got out.

Emma was pissed off. Regardless of the rash on her face, she lifted up the quilt and sat up, "Samuel, you are really so in love with Ella? Even if she hurt me, you still choose to ignore it?"

Hearing what she said, Samuel stopped at the door. But he just stopped for a second. Soon he said without looking back, "She is my wife. Of course I love her."

Emma caught the loophole in his words immediately, "So you love her out of a sense of duty or love?"

After she said that, the ward became quiet again. The hotel manager had already slipped away.

Anna and Catherine took a look at each other and left the ward.

Samuel and Emma were left alone in the ward. Samuel said coldly, "This is not important."

"It's not important to you, but it's very important to me." Emma looked at his back and bit her lower lip tightly. She took a deep breath and continued, "If it is the former, I'll be very happy. Samuel…"

She hoped that it was the former. Because it meant that she would still have a chance.

Samuel looked sullen. He said, "Have a good rest." The he left the ward.

After talking to Emma's attending physician and making sure she was fine, he drove to the company.

He felt distressed on his way. When he returned to the office, Ella was taking a nap in the lounge.

As soon as he opened the door, Ella woke up, "Samuel, how is Emma?" She was asking after Emma's condition out of sheer concerns for Samuel, because she knew that if something bad happened to Emma, Samuel's company would be in trouble.
