At noon, Samuel received a call just as he had finished his meeting. Soon after, he immediately drove to the hospital.
In the I. C. U.
The two guards at the door of the ward greeted Samuel as he walked in, "Mr. Shao!"
"How is she?"
"Doctor Si was here a couple of minutes ago and he gave us strict orders to keep her under surveillance, then he left."
"Hmm, I see."
Pushing the door open, Samuel walked in.
Amber lay lifelessly in bed, a stark contrast to her usual demeanour.
She had just turned 20, but the affliction she had been through, made her look much older.
Hearing the footsteps, Amber opened her eyes, not expecting to see Samuel.
But the surprise in her eyes didn't last long.
"Why am I here?" Her voice sounded raspy because she had been asleep for a long time.
Samuel stood beside her bed, "That doesn't matter. Amber, tell me, who is the mastermind?"
Though he had an inkling to what her answer would be, Samuel wanted to hear it from her mouth.
After fighting to stay alive, Amber was willing to finally name the master behind the puppeteering.
"I'll tell you, only if Mr. Shao, you can guarantee the safety of my family." Catherine had been threatening her, using her family to convince her to confess to everything, by giving them money.
Samuel understood what she meant, "I can send you and your family abroad after you have recovered."
To cover her crimes, that ruthless woman had successively killed 5 people. Plus, she had sent several assassins to kill Amber when she was in a coma.
However, the bodyguards he hired were committed to their job, ensuring Amber survived the assassinations.
Somehow Amber believed Samuel. Without hesitation, she revealed the mastermind, "Catherine."
Amber resented Catherine, because it was she who made her life a living hell.
'At least this snake won't get away with it!' She thought to herself, although she didn't know if she could get her revenge fulfi
"Who does she think she is? I won't marry her even if she is the last woman on earth, " said Hiram Rong.
"Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won't be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement, " said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
a call him roast ducks, Samuel feigned displeasure, "Do I look like a duck?"
"Kind of. Both of you can give me an appetite." Ella smiled and winked, disarming Samuel at once.
He bent closer to her ear and whispered, "I think we can get your appetite satiated well enough when you get home.
You can have me however you want."
Grabbing his hands, Ella rubbed her eyes and said with a serious undertone to her voice, "Then I'll tie you up and take my time."
Tie me up? Samuel raised his thick eyebrows and looked at the extremely composed girl. He finally felt that he had taught her well.
"Well, then we should buy some candles or whips when you leave the hospital." He was absolutely all for it.
Ella finally flushed, and tried to pinch Samuel. She was about to say something, when Melody's inquiring voice interrupted her.
"Sam, what are the candles for?" Melody heard them talking about candles when she walked out of the restroom, but she didn't clearly hear the beginning parts of the conversation.
Samuel gave her a mysterious smile, saying, "Grandma, an old lady will live longer if she concerned herself with less. You should eat your lunch."
"Oh!" Samuel helped his confused grandma sit on the sofa and gave her a bowl of food and chopsticks. Then he returned to sit by Ella.
