Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 90

After some time, Viola rushed in with things for Jerry. "Jerry must be hungry, " said Viola, with a milk bottle and powder in her hands. The family started to get on with feeding the Jerry.

Samuel washed himself. A nurse brought them breakfast prepared?by the hospital.

The breakfast was hearty enough for a VIP ward.

While Viola fed Jerry, Ella and Samuel had a quick breakfast.

The nurse came in again to check Jerry's temperature. It has come down to 37.7°C. The nurse then put another fever-cooling patch on Jerry's forehead. Before leaving the room, the nurse reminded them to feed the kid some antipyretics.

Chuck came in later. He checked Jerry's body and found the boy was fine. If his body temperature would go back to normal levels, he could go home.

Then Ella said to Samuel: "You can go to work now. I'll take care of him." He was kind of busy these days and his presence was not necessary there.

Ella was ready to go to the graveyard. But she had to reschedule it, since Jerry became ill.

She took out the phone to send a message to Sum.

"It is fine. We'll see it in the afternoon." Samuel cooled the hot water and poured it into the bottle, so that Jerry could drink the water himself without his help.

Ella didn't say anything. She texted Sum: "Sum, I was supposed to go to the company tomorrow, but my son got fever. So I won't be there until he recovers. Sorry for that."

Hardly had she put her phone in her pocket when she received a message: "Is Jerry okay now? Which hospital are you in? I'm coming there."

His sincere concerns touched Ella deeply. "Sum is so sweet, " she thought to herself.

But she declined his kind offer by texting "Don't worry. Jerry is fine now. He would go home this afternoon if things become normal again."

However, she got a reply for this only after two minutes. Meanwhile Samuel stepped in quickly and grasped the phone.

He scrolled through?some?of?her conversations with Sum and looked a bit angry.

"Do you still plan to work in his company?" Why can't she bear Samuel's words in mind?

Ella was not going to hide anything. She admitted: "Yes. I'm ready for being deserted anytime. Anyway I have to support myself." If possible, she would like to provide for herself and Jerry.

What the hell is "ready for being deserted"? Samuel sighed and threw her phone on the table.

He stood in front of her and looked down at her: "You don't have to be prepared for that. If you behave yourself, I'll support Jerry and you for as long as it takes ."

"Don't I behave myself?" she retorted. It was he who forced her to date with one of those young dudes.

"Do not maintain any relationship with Sum anymore; do not bother Catherine and Emma; and do what I say. Those are my requirements for you." Samuel expressed his thoughts in brief. If she could do that, he would like to be with her until the end of the world.

Ella took up her phone and turned a deaf ear to his unreasonable requirements.

Why did he never put himself in her shoes? Or did her sufferings please his mind?

She checked her Wechat and read the message from Sum: "Take care of your child and you are welcome whenever you want to come."

"You, Ella." Samuel called her crossly.

"Here!" She texted lazily "Thank you".

Samuel grabbed her phone again and said: "Was I just talking to a brick wall?" How dare she is to ignore him!

"What's up? Do I have to grin and bear tortures from Catherine and Emma even if they want to kill me?" She kept her grief bottled up and stared at him ironically.

Samuel sat beside her and said: "You might misunderstand Emma. Well, I won't see her again from now on."

Just a misunderstanding? More than that, OK?
