Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 202 Sweetheart

"None of this is for you." Samuel responded to Ella's budding eyes as she savoured the sight of the

food and licked her lips. Samuel rang the lunch bell beside the bed and asked the nurse to bring in

Ella's lunch. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"I don't want to eat a sick meal, it's really awful..." Ella protested softly but in vain. She was so

depressed.

Samuel gave her a charming smile to soothe her. It worked so well that Ella immediately accepted it

without any complaint. Although they had been married for a long time, Samuel seldom showed such a

charming smile.

Therefore, Ella's heart was captured by him very easily.

"You will recover faster if you eat the sick meal now, and then you will be able to enjoy the delicious

meal sooner, okay?" How could she eat something delicious before the wound had properly healed and

her body, fully recovered?

What a lovely little fool she was!

Ella nodded and agreed because what Samuel had said, sounded reasonable, "Well, then, I'll have the

sick meal."

"Good girl! Darling, when you leave the hospital, I will take you out for a delicious meal." He caressed

her long silky hair, lovingly.

This affectionate gesture delighted Melody. As she was eating, she swallowed the green vegetables in

her mouth and then began to joke, "Come on, you two love-birds."

Her voice made Ella realise that her grandmother was still in the ward. She immediately shied away

from Samuel's touch, picked her phone and pretended to look at it.

"My dear grandmother, couldn't you have pretended not to see us?" Samuel asked, a playful undertone

to his voice. He adjusted Ella's bed to the right height and went to the bathroom.

"Even if I pretend, it's hard for me not to hear. You two are so sweet and you keep calling her 'Darling'

and 'Sweetheart'." Melody didn't realise that "Sweetheart" was her own addition as she innocently

watched Samuel washing towels in the bathroom.

Her words made Ella almost choke with her own saliva, "Grandma, you must be mistaken. Samuel

never called me 'Sweetheart'!"

'Who knew which other woman he had referred to with those endearing words?' Ella thought angrily.

Samuel came over with the wet towel and saw Ella roll her eyes at him. He blinked doubtfully,

wondering what he had done to make her unhappy.

Oh! He had a sudden inspiration and seemed to know why. Was she blaming him for not calling her

'Sweetheart'?

On reflection, Samuel took Ella's phone and put it aside, "My sweetheart, come here and clean your

hands."

Ella was speechless.

Melody gave Samuel a thumbs up and would have laughed if she hadn't been eating.

Ella blushed and twisted Samuel's arm, lowering her voice, "How could you call me 'Sweetheart' when

grandma is here?"

"Grandma, do you mind if I call my wife, sweetheart?" Samuel turned around and asked Melody.

Ella was speechless and let him wipe her hands.

Melody put down her chopsticks and shook her hands, "Of course not. You can pretend I'm not here

and be as sweet as you want."

Melody didn't mind, of course. She wished their inseparable love would last forever.

When Samuel was about to speak, Ella stopped him and warned him quietly, "Don't be so shameless,

Samuel!"

Samuel took back the towel and gave her a playful look, "I have been shameless for a long time, and

you should know that by now. Sweetheart."

Samuel ducked into the bathroom before Ella's hand could hit him.

A few minutes later, a nurse brought Ella's meal.

Sure enough, the sick meals were mostly vegetarian and easy to digest, while meat and fish were rare.

She thought that once she recovered, she would protest to Chuck that the patients need more nutrition,

and that the occasional chicken leg wouldn't be detrimental to their health.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Samuel made sure that news of Ella's injury was suppressed.

After staying in the hospital for a week, Samuel took Ella back to The Royal Mansion and asked her to

take good care of herself at home.

After another week at the villa, Samuel went to Singapore on a business trip.

Ella, who had almost recovered, picked Jane up from Eason and Anna's house.

Melody took Jerry to The Royal Mansion for five days and they all had a wonderful time together.

At the New Land Cafe.

A woman in sunglasses sat quietly at the corner of the shop.

Shortly after the waiter welcomed someone, a man sat across from her.

"Why did you ask me to come here?" What a stupid woman! Abbot Fuller looked around warily.

He sent the waiter away by ordering a cup of coffee.

"Kill a woman for me and you can get whatever you want!"

Catherine hated Ella so much! She was going to have Ella killed so she would disappear forever.

"Kill a women? Ella?" Abbot Fuller sat upright and looked straight at Catherine.

He thought that it was not the first time she had tried to have Ella killed, but Ella was being protected.

He found it difficult to kill her.

"Yes, you can look into her background carefully, find her weaknesses and use that to find opportunities

to kill her. Can you take care of this for me?" Catherine knew that Ella's first weakness was her love for

Jerry, but she didn't dare to hurt Jerry, because Samuel attached great importance to his son. She still

wanted to be with Samuel in the future, so she didn't want to jeopardise her plan in this regard.

To find Ella's weakness? Abbot Fuller kept thinking about Catherine's words. When the coffee was

served, he took a sip and never touched the coffee again.

"I want a deposit of half a million, and the total price is three million!" He made a quick decision, but

Catherine could not accept the price he offered. It was too expensive.

Damn the Japanese! She had sent a lot of money to his organisation before, and he hadn't delivered

results and still wanted more money.

"Mr. Fuller, you know I've been in a bit of trouble recently and three million is too much. Could you

lower the price a little bit?" Not only had her whole family denounced her, but her reputation had been

ruined by Ella.

In the last few days, she had interviewed with several law firms but had not been accepted. She

suspected that Ella had a part to play in this.

"Too much money? Miss Gu, do you know that someone has started investigating my organisation

because of you? If anyone finds out anything suspicious, we'll all be in trouble!" The price of three

million was a preferential price. The reason for the discount was that Catherine had sent tens of

millions to his organisation before.

"Because of me?" Catherine wondered who could doubt her, for she had always handled everything so

thoroughly. Could it be...

"And according to the news I've received, Amber woke up at the hospital."

"What? Did she say anything?" Catherine's voice trembled, "Has Samuel ever been there?"

If Samuel had asked Amber, he would have known what she had done. It's all over!

Abbot Fuller nodded, "Samuel met Amber shortly after she woke up."

Catherine stood up from her seat in terror, and all the guests nearby looked at her. Realizing her gaffe,

Catherine quickly calmed down and sat back again.
