Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 193 Samuel, Help!

Suddenly, Emma laughed sardonically as if she had envisioned Melody's and Ella's death by her hand.

"Damn you all to hell! Hahahaha."

Viola was in her bedroom on the second floor. The bedroom door remained open so she was able to

hear the commotion downstairs. She was curious and went out to check what was happening.

Peering from on top of the staircase, she saw a woman chasing Ella and Melody with a fruit knife in her

hand.

She freaked out and froze. It was Emma. What was she going to do?

Ella dragged Melody to hide behind the sofa and stood in front of her, in a protective stance. Seeing

Emma approaching her, Ella steadied herself, "Emma, what do you want? Talk to me." She would give

her everything except Samuel.

At the same time, Melody, hiding behind Ella, picked up the phone from the table and dialled 110.

Emma saw what Melody's was doing. She growled and lunged towards them.

The knife pointed at Melody. Ella was afraid that grandma may get hurt, so she used her arm to stop

the impact. As a result, Emma ended up slashing Ella on the arm.

The pain locked Ella into a speechless state. Melody saw that Ella had been slashed and panicked.

The phone dropped to the floor.

"Ella, are you okay?"

She hurried to Ella, wanting to check the cuts.

Emma saw Melody approach Ella. She wielded the knife towards her, without giving them any

breathing space.

Seeing Emma moving towards Melody, Ella took an ashtray beside her and threw it at her. But Emma

dodged it. As a result, Emma stood still, breathing heavily and watching them.

Viola finally figured out what was happening and panicked. She had to do something. She immediately

ran back to her bedroom and called 110.

Then she called Samuel as she hurried downstairs, "Samuel, come back quickly. Something terrible

has happened."

His heart missed a beat. He had never heard his Mum's voice sound like that. Her voice was trembling

and she was panicking.

After putting down the phone, he put his coat on and rushed out of his office, leaving other executives

in the meeting room, confused as to what had happened.

At the old house.

After she finished speaking to Samuel, Viola flung her phone to a nearby couch, "Emma, what has

happened to you? Drop that knife NOW!"

Viola knew there was no use talking sense to Emma. She looked deranged and disoriented.

She continued to thrust the knife at Melody, swiftly and without mercy.

After several vain attempts, Emma got pissed off and aimed at Melody's back. Mustering all her

strength, she was going to stab her.

Quick as lightning, a shadow flitted over. It was Ella again who quickly stood in front of Melody. This

time the knife penetrated Ella's stomach. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Time stood still as Viola dropped down on the sofa, screaming.

Emma saw the blood staining Ella's blouse and was jolted out of her reverie. She stood motionless

where she was.

"Ella!" Melody cried out, her voice was hoarse and cracked.

Ella was shocked by the knife in her stomach. She was lost in thought. Was she going to die? Even if

she died, she would not let Emma hurt grandma. Grandma had always treated her well. To her, no

price was too high to pay for the kindness grandma had shown to her, not even her life.

She clenched her teeth and gathered all her strength to draw the knife out of her stomach. Warm blood

spurted onto the floor, as Ella reached out with her other hand to staunch the flow.

She stepped forward and stabbed Emma with all the force she could garner.

"Ah..." Unguarded, Emma was stabbed. Blood quickly soaked her yellow coat.

Feeling dizzy, Ella shook her head to keep awake and pulled the knife out of Emma's body. Then she

raised the knife and intended to stab her heart. But the dizziness made her miss and she ended up

stabbing Emma in the chest.

Again she pulled the knife out and threw it far away.

Leaning against the desk beside her, Emma dropped to her knees.

Ella turned back, smiled at Melody, and asked weakly, "Grandma... Are you okay?"

Melody collected herself and hurried to keep Ella from falling down, "Ella. I'm all right. Hold on. I'll call a

doctor at once."

In a panic, she tried several times to pick the phone from the floor but failed.

Finally she took a deep breath and picked up the phone. Then she dialled 120 to send for an

ambulance.

Ella leaned against the wall and sat on the floor slowly. She felt a lot of pain as she began to cough out

blood. She thought of Jane and Jerry and wanted to tell them how she was feeling.

She also thought of Samuel, wanting to tell him that her stomach and arms were sore, "Samuel..." She

murmured.

Tears run down Melody's face when she heard Ella call out for Samuel.

"Ella, my Ella... The ambulance is coming." She couldn't hold back her tears. Ella wouldn't have gotten

hurt if she had not protected her.

Emma, who was long in a state of fatigue, had fainted after the two stabbing.

Viola stood up from the sofa and went to Ella.

Blood pooled around Ella. Viola covered her mouth to stop herself from crying.

"Ella, Ella, you are going to be fine." She understood what had happened clearly. Ella got hurt because

of protecting Melody.

She was willing to give her life for others' safety. How could anyone not like Ella?

Ella was surprised as Viola comforted her. But she was too tired to speak out.

They heard the sirens approaching.

Ella felt painful.

"Samuel..."

Melody scooted close to Ella for support and clutched one of her hand, "Ella, you must hold on. Samuel

is coming."

"Yes. I've called him. Don't close your eyes." Viola wiped her tears and clutched Ella's other hand as

well. Both her hands were bloody.

Ella was still bleeding. She smiled at Melody and Viola and said weakly, "Tell Samuel to take good care

of our kids."

Then she drifted off and lost consciousness.

"Ella, Ella..." Melody almost fainted because of worry. She tried her best to steady her breathing. Just

then, the paramedics and the police walked in and took over.

Samuel drove wildly towards the old house. When he arrived, Ella was being lifted onto the ambulance.

His heart fluttered. After making sure grandma and Mum were okay, he got into the ambulance. For the

first time, his mind was completely blank when he saw Ella in a coma, covered in blood.

"How is she?" Clutching her cold hands, he asked blankly.
