Trapped with a Lawyer

Perhaps Samuel was too focused, as he didn't even respond when Ella softly called him.

The ward was so quiet that the buzz of Samuel's cellphone was very clear.

The phone buzzed several times. Samuel finally grabbed it from the table. His eyes darkened when he saw the caller ID.

A soft voice held him back when he was about to go out to answer the phone, "Samuel." Ella's voice was very soft, for she was too hungry to talk.

Maybe their son had too good an appetite. She always felt starving after breastfeeding him.

Samuel looked at the caller ID on the screen again, hesitated for a while, then hung up.

"Awake?" He walked up to the hospital bed, sat on the edge, and looked at the little woman who seemed to have recovered a lot.

Ella nodded gently, and Samuel's phone buzzed again. "You can pick that up, " said Ella.

Samuel cast a complicated look at the feeble Ella.This time he hung up the phone call without any hesitation, and powered off the phone.

Ella gave a puzzled look when Samuel shut down his phone. But for a moment she thought, it must be Emma.

The ward was very quiet. Samuel lifted her hospital bed and put her on the pillow to make her comfortable, "Is that okay?"

She nodded and looked up at the man close to her. "I'm hungry."

When hearing these two words, Samuel went back to take out the nutritious porridge from the thermos jug. He put the porridge into a bowl and then brought the bowl to her.

Ella tried to move, but the wound in the abdomen immediately ached in an instant, though her other parts were good.

As Samuel saw Ella closing her eyes in pain, his heart also ached for her. A quick, painful look appeared in his eyes. Samuel sat down on the edge of the bed.

He scooped out a little hot porridge with a spoon, and raised the spoonful of porridge to his mouth and blew on it, then put the spoon onto her lips.
