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.
Ella watched his move with excitement. Her dear Samuel was feeding her porridge himself. It felt almost like a dream.
Ella opened her mouth obediently and ate the porridge. The warm porridge slipped down, and her hungry, painful stomach felt much better.
I
When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever…
nfully and laboriously trying to fetch him. The wound ached every time when Ella tried to move. She bit her teeth, and finally walked to her son's crib.
Samuel didn't say anything, just walked to them and took Ella back to the bed, then put their son beside her.
Ella got her breath again, and started to feed her son, regardless of the look in Samuel's eyes.
Jerry stopped crying, and the whole room quieted down too. Samuel stood by the bed, watching the greedy son sucking Ella's breast.
Ella's eyes were tightly closed, no word spoken.
The atmosphere was a little weird.
"Just call me if you need any help." Samuel tore his gaze away from Ella, and returned to the sofa and started working.
He didn't see that Ella gently nodded.
In the Chuck Private Exclusive Hospital, the Dean's Office
Chuck finished Ella's medical examination in the morning. He went back to the office after he made sure that everything was okay.
He opened the door of the office, and a figure in jeans appeared in his sight, one leg slashing a quick kick over at his face.
It happened many times, over and over again. The experienced Chuck easily grasped that leg with his hands.
He didn't let go, and they stood in a strange position against each other
Daisy tried several times to escape the control of his big hand.
Chuck didn't even look at her, just walked to his office desk with a medical record in his hand.
