No Escape From Mr. CEO's Dangerous Love

Chapter 564

Samuel put down his chopsticks and swallowed the steaming dumplings in his mouth. He looked at an excited Viola, "Mom, since you have high blood pressure, it will be good for you not to care too much."

His words only cheered Viola up more. "You know I'm in bad health and have high blood pressure. If you care about me, you had better listen to me and divorce Ella. You should marry Emma!" There was another matter that Emma said not to tell anyone. Ella apparently maltreated her grandson.

But she couldn't help saying it out loud. "The cruel woman maltreated my grandson. How could she be a daughter-in-law of the Lowell family?"

"Enough!" Melody slammed the spoon heavily on the table and stood up.

She walked to Viola. "What poison did Emma feed you? You tried to persuade your own son to abandon his wife and marry a lover." Her daughter-in-law had disappointed her too much, and went out of line.

With the elder grandmother angry, the whole family fell into silence. Viola grit her teeth and returned to her seat.

"Mother, please don't be angry." Vincent stood up quickly to comfort the elder woman.

Melody was so angry, her hands shook. She took a seat beside Samuel after Vincent comforted her. She felt better when she was carrying her great grandson.

The nice breakfast ended sourly with Viola's words.

The commotion downstairs went by unnoticed by the slumbering Ella. She was oblivious.

When she woke up, the sun was setting down. Sitting up in bed, she looked at the clock beside her. It was almost four o'clock.

What a shame! At a loss, Ella put her hands on her forehead. How could she go out and meet people now?

She felt her whole body ache when she moved a bit. Recalling the night before, Ella clutched the thin blanket to her body tightly with her right hand.

Embarrassment filled her face, followed by annoyance. Samuel must've deliberately humiliated her.

With difficulty, she got up from the bed and washed her face. Remembering the call yesterday, she called back Sum.

Sum was in a meeting at the office. At the sight of phone display, he curled his mouth and went outside to answer the phone, to the surprise of everyone.

"Ella, what happened to you yesterday? Why didn't you answer the phone?" Sum's worried voice came through.

Thinking of how Samuel didn't let her answer the phone, Ella made up an excuse. "Hmm, my son was playing with the phone and he didn't give it to me." She said with an embarrassed smile.

Her embarrassed smile made Sum think she was acting weird.

He smiled bitterly and changed the topic. "Are you having a good time lately? When can you come back to work?"

"It's fine. I still need a couple of days before I can go back to work. I want to see my parents tomorrow and the next day..." At the thought of her parents, Ella's eyes filled with tears and her voice choked with sobs.

Uncomfortable with her sobbing, Sum nodded his head. He comforted her gently. "Don't think too much. You can call me whenever you're in need of help."

"I will, Sum. Thank you." Wiping away her tears, Ella decided to treat him to a meal someday for his kindness.

After the call with Sum, Ella felt unwell and stayed in bed for a while. She washed her face in the bathroom again before leaving the bedroom.

The villa was quiet, as if no one were here. Ella decided to find something to eat in the kitchen.

She found some food in the freezer and made herself a simple bowl of noodles to fill her stomach.

When she moved to wash the bowl, the living room door was opened. It sounded like Melody and Vivien were back with her son.

Hearing the noise in the kitchen, Vivien came here to have a look. "Madam, please leave the bowl there, I will wash it." Folding up her sleeves, she approached Ella to take over.

Ella was inconvenienced with her injury, so she handed the bowl over. "Thank you for your help, Vivien." She exited the kitchen.

In the living room, Melody immediately smiled at the sight of Ella. "Have you eaten yet?"

Ella nodded her head and struggled to take her son. "Yes, grandma." She kissed her son on the face. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Sam... Did Sam treat you roughly last night?" Melody teased her and Ella flushed immediately. Sure enough, everyone heard the noise.

"Grandma!" Ella hissed in a low voice, ducking her head in embarrassment.

Melody laughed. "Grandma is an old woman and knows everything. Don't be shy. How's your hand?" She eagerly looked at Ella's hand, which was wrapped in gauze.

She suddenly remember that she had to reapply the medicine on the hand. "Grandma, if you didn't remind me to go to the hospital, I'd forget." She looked at the time. Chuck would still be on duty.

Jerry looked at her with big round eyes. Ella showered him with kisses.

Ella's reluctance to leave made Melody laugh. She urged her to go. "You should go to the hospital now. Don't go around with the baby with your injured hand."

In an exclusive VIP room.

When Ella arrived at the hospital, Chuck was talking to Samuel on the phone. Seeing her, he said to the phone, "You don't need to call your wife, she's already here."

Chuck set up the appointment for Ella. When he didn't see her, he called Samuel.

He hung up the phone since she already arrived.

He took the prepared medicine and gauze to Ella, who sat on the sofa with the wet gauze on her hand.

He frowned a little. "Didn't I tell you not to wet this?" He unwrapped her hand and paled when he saw her wet wound.

Ella smiled in embarrassment. "I accidentally wet it while washing my face."

Chuck didn't say anything, but cleaned her wounds carefully. He gave her medicine and new gauze.

His gentle actions pained the woman who had been standing at the door for a while.

She knew he was in love with Lola. He could be gentle to Lola and any other woman but her.

It was Ella who noticed Daisy first when Chuck finished securing the gauze.

"Daisy, you're here." Ella greeted her first and Daisy walked inside slowly.

Daisy forced a smile. "What's wrong with your hand?" she said, standing by Ella.

Chuck ignored her as if she wasn't there. He cleaned up and put the things aside on the medical trolley outside the door.

"I'm fine. It was just some broken glass." Ella explained simply, then remembered what happened yesterday morning. Should she buy another box of medicine?

The thought of Samuel's anger discouraged her.

Daisy nodded her head. She was just passing by and couldn't help approaching them.
