At Ella's reassurance, lody breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm so glad you're not angry. Go have dinner. Mrs. Qi has prepared a good al." lody rushed her to the dinner table and followed.
Ella sat at the dinner table and served herself a bowl of century egg.
When lody sat down across her, she was puzzled for a mont and asked, "Grandma, do you want to eat again?"
As Ella spoke, she rose to get another set of tableware from the kitchen.
"Oh, no. I'm not hungry. Just enjoy your al, my dear."
lody grabbed her wrist to stop her. With the heater on, Ella had taken her coat off and was only wearing a sweater. When lody pulled Ella, her sleeve rolled up, exposing her wrist.
The bruises on Ella's wrist shocked lody greatly.
"My dear, what happened with your wrist?" She was about to roll the sleeve further up to see the rest.

"Samuel!" Her serious tone stopped them.
"Grandma, " Samuel answered.
"As your grandmother, you have to listen to . Be gentle to your wife. Look what you've done to her! You've gone too far!" She wouldn't have known about Ella's suffering if she hadn't grabbed her wrist. And it didn't seem like Ella would've told her anything.
"I know, Grandma."
The two left the room, closing the door. lody sighed as she watched Jerry fall asleep.
She walked slowly to the Buddha statue in her room, praying with clasped hands.
"May Buddha bless the couple and may everything turn out well. May they get through this difficult ti in their marriage, and may the whole family enjoy peace and happiness."
Samuel dragged Ella back to their bedroom. He moved to lock the door from the inside.
Grabbing the opportunity, she ran to the closet with all her energy.
But she wasn't quick enough. The mont she tried to close the wardrobe door, Samuel squeezed his way inside with a furious look.
He pressed her against the closet forcefully.

With a growing sense of foreboding, he imdiately took off her sweater, leaving her dressed in only a thin white blouse.
