Suddenly, Emma laughed sardonically as if she had envisioned Melody"s and Ella"s death by her hand.
"d.a.m.n you all to h.e.l.l! 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 s.p.a.ce.
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
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.
"You! Give that land to my family, or I won"t agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.
"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.
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 b.l.o.o.d.y.
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.
