Chapter 564 The Morning Argument

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 Shao 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

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

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.
