Trapped with a Lawyer
Chapter 12 What To Feed the Son
Jenny said with a tough tone, "Samuel, if you do not wish to be with Ella, I will bring her to our home as soon as she wakes up. My daughter is the apple of my eyes. We raised her up with great attention. We won't let her endure any suffering!"
Viola heard the accusation and was quite annoyed. Before Samuel could say anything, she stepped up and stood in front of Samuel and replied, "What do you mean by all these words? What kind of suffering Ella is enduring now? Who is giving her a hard time?" Ella must have been talking bullshit in front of her parents.
Jenny looked at the way Viola acted, rude and sharp. She looked nothing like an elegant and charming bank manager.
Samuel pulled Viola over and made her stand aside. He faced Jenny himself and replied, "Mom, I am very sorry. Please don't be mad anymore. I will make sure things like that will never happen again."
The sincere tone in Samuel's voice made Jenny less angry. But when she thought of the fact that during Ella's pregnancy Samuel never showed up, she just couldn't let things go.
Jenny was filled with anger and snapped, "Do you have any idea how hard it is for a woman to go through her pregnancy?" "When Ella was in the apartment, you being her husband, were never there for even one day. What were you thinking?" "If you are not pleased with my daughter, just say it. Why on earth make her suffer?premature birth?"
On hearing her remarks, the Shao family were all quite embarrassed. It was true that they neglected Ella back then.
Samuel lowered his head and accepted the anger from Jenny. He did not say a word.
Richard walked over to them. Although he was quite angry himself, he did a good job of covering it up. He said to Jenny with the intent to mediate the situation, "Enough, just knock it off!" "Both your daughter and grandson are safe now, there is nothing to be mad about."
Jenny usually had a good temper but there was one thing she could not stand: her precious daughter being bullied. She threw away Richard's arm, making it very clear that she was not ready to let Samuel off the hook.
"Mom ..." Ella's voice was so gentle and weak from the ward bed. Her sound almost made Jenny cry..
Her precious daughter! She had never let her daughter suffer like this or get bullied like this!
Samuel walked over to the bed with Jenny. He looked at them, as Jenny held up Ella's hand tightly.
Richard also walked over and gently looked at Ella: "My dear child, did we just wake you up?"
