Ella had nothing to say. Since he refused her, what else could she do?
"Come on, let's go back." Samuel went past Ella towards the private room.
Ella stretched out to stop Samuel, "Samuel, are you… together?" She hadn't given up the hope.
Thinking of grandma's attitude, Samuel said, "No, we broke up. But I can't forget her." He clearly expressed that he had someone in his heart, hoping that Ella could accept the fact and stop wasting time on him.
Then he went away, leaving Ella there alone.
Ella stood there for a pretty long time before her cell phone rang. It was her brother Eason.
She took a deep breath, "Hello, brother."
"Where are you? We have been waiting for you." When Eason was on the phone, Samuel was guzzling wine not far from him.
Hearing Eason's words, Samuel knew he was calling Ella and looked over.
Ella's hand was shivering because she was still depressive. "Brother, I've got a situation and need to go first. Just enjoy yourselves!" She tried to make herself sound calm.
The careless brother really didn't feel anything wrong. "OK, be careful."
"Okay. Bye." Ella left the club after hanging up the phone.
Samuel looked at the cup in his hand and asked Eason casually, "Did Ella leave?"
He was wondering whether he would accept Ella if his heart was not occupied.
Maybe he wouldn't…
Eason drank a mouthful of wine and said thoughtlessly, "Yeah. The girl is now grown up and has many secrets. She even didn't tell me her leg was broken while filming some time ago."
Samuel fell into silence. Harry noticed his unusual silence.
However, Eason was still talking about Ella without stopping, "... The girl seems to fall in love with someone and keeps looking at her cell phone every day." Speaking of this, he glanced at Samuel, who was still drinking, and continued, "By the way, I see your photos in Ella's cell phone. She told me she really admired your eloquence and wanted to be a lawyer like you. Funny, right? You all know she's as timid as a rabbit and if someone threatens her, she will certainly break into tears..."
Without notice of Samuel's silence, Eason said a lot about Ella. Between the lines, everyone could tell how much he cared about his sister.
Samuel put down the cup, stood up and bid farewell to the others, "I have something to do. I have to go now!" He didn't know why he began to worry about Ella after hearing what Eason had said.
Eason didn't know why Samuel left in such a hurry. He looked at him with surprise and said, "What's the matter? We seldom have a chance to get together and you are leaving now? Well, pay the bill first!" Seeing Samuel walking to the door, Eason realized he had to leave now. Sine he couldn't stop Samuel, he wanted him to pay the bill as a compensation.
Samuel gestured OK and opened the door of the private room.
After paying the bill, he went out hurriedly. He knew he may have to drink tonight, so he came with his chauffeur. He asked the chauffeur to drive him around to find Ella. Suddenly, Ella appeared in his sight, walking slowly on the side of the street and wiping tears. Samuel didn't get out of the car. Instead, he told the chauffeur to slow down and follow her.
"Though she was sad now, it's better than giving her an empty promise and letting her down in future." Samuel thought.
In order to join today's party, Eason came back from abroad specially. Ella was shooting a TV series in A Country. So Eason brought her to the club together.
Seeing Ella enter her hotel, Samuel told the chauffeur to go back.
He thought a lot on his way back, and finally persuaded himself that he had made a right choice.
He packed up and moved from Harry's Crescent Spring to the hotel Ella lived in.
"Well, just go, and I'll pay." Harry promised to pay for the hotel expense with no hesitation.
Samuel noticed his voice was not alright. "Are you OK? What happened there?"
Harry leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes tightly, "Don't worry. Maybe I just drank too much and got a stomachache." His stomach began aching after he ate the hot pot. Cups of baijiu he drank had made things worse.
"You have a doctor there. Ask him to check you up." He went to the presidential suite with the room card in hand. After he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a woman entering her room.
If he was not mistaken, that woman must be Ella.
"I know. How could you leave so early? You owe us a meal!" He sat upright, face turning pale.
Samuel agreed soon and opened the door of his room, which was just diagonally opposite to Ella's.
Then he hung up the phone. The chauffeur took his luggage into the room and left.
Samuel lived in C Country. This time, he came to A Country to help Harry, just as he went to D City to help him last time.
Harry was his biggest client and also helped him open his law firm. Samuel really appreciated his help.
After hanging up the phone, Harry asked Chuck to take him to the hospital. Only Eason and Joey were left.
Helplessly, they followed Harry to Chengyang Private Hospital to see what's the matter with the tough guy.
At the hospital.
Harry was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. Chuck put him on a drip in a high-class ward.
Eason sat by the bed and watched the man leaning on it, "What did you eat?" He had never seen Harry fall ill.
"He ate some pungent food and drank a lot of baijiu. That's it!" Chuck answered while collecting his medicine and tools.
Harry closed his eyes lazily, "Leave me alone. I get nurses here."
When all of them left, he opened his eyes suddenly. He used the cell phone to take a photo of his left transfused hand.
Then he selected a contact in WeChat and sent the photo.
Lola's cell phone rang when she was about to fall asleep with her daughter in arms.
It was so late and she took out her phone reluctantly, wondering who the hell it was.
It was Harry! Why was he still awake late at night?
She began to worry upon seeing the photo he sent. "Who?"
"Of course me!" He wasn't in the mood to take photos of others.
She sat up and quickly replied a few words. "What's wrong with you?" Harry was alright when they were together. How come?
"Ward 606 in Chengyang Private Hospital." He sent his address because he wanted to see her and be with her.
Lola got up quickly, put her daughter on her own bed, and drove to the hospital after changing her clothes.
She rushed to the hospital and opened the door of ward 606. The man leaned back on the bed, eyes closed. Though falling ill, he still looked noble.
