Presiden's wild wife

Chapter 230 The Surgery Failed

“Where is he now?” Elena said in an extremely low voice.

The result came as a shock for Roger, “Did Logan know the result? Or…”

“He hasn't wakened up from the anesthetic. But I guess…he will know the result when he wakes up…” Albert was frustrated. He was 100% sure that the surgery would be a great success. However, it failed…

Elena was trying so hard to calm herself down, “We’ll talk until he wakes up.”

“Madam.” Jacob looked guilty. He stood there, lowering his head, “I am so sorry. It’s my fault!”

“No. It’s not your fault. It’s bad luck.” She was so depressed, but she still tried to assuage his grief.

Jacob insisted to get all the blame on himself. “It’s me who asked you to encourage sir to accept the surgery. He always listens to you. If I didn’t…”

“Enough, Jacob.” Elena gave him a glance, “No one should be blamed. We all know that risk goes with surgery, right? We all prepare for what will happen in the surgery, don’t we?”

And it was meaningless to argue who should be blamed at this point. They had better think about how to comfort Logan about the result, which was another huge blow to him.

A nurse came out to tell Albert that the patient should be sent back to the ward. He turned around and saw Logan sleeping on the bed, pushed out from the Operating Room. Logan looked weak now.

Elena walked towards Logan and wanted to touch his pale face. However, she was too weak to lift her arm, like her strength ran out.

Roger patted her shoulder to comfort her, “Elena. Just let him sleep. And you need a rest now.”

“I am fine.” She smiled. But then she was unsteady on her feet.

Jacob held her immediately and said, “Madam, you should have a rest now.”

“No…”

“Don’t worry. I will arrange a bed for you beside Sir. But now you need to do an examination!”

“Jacob!” Elena wanted to shake off his hands, but she failed because he held her so strongly.

Jacob asked Albert, “Doctor Albert, please examine her. She’s barely eaten anything. Could be due to hypoglycemia. She might need glucose.”

Albert supported Elena and sent her to do the examination.

But Elena still wanted to refuse, “I am okay. I just feel so sad about the result…”

Albert insisted, “No. You should take care of yourself first.”

“No!”

Elena had no options but to follow as they wanted.

As Elena had to leave for a while, Roger wanted to help, “Jacob, let me look after Logan. You should be with Elena and see if she needs any help.”

“Alright,” Jacob answered. Then he walked with Elena.

*****

After a while, Logan woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Roger first, not Elena, which disappointed him a bit.

He tried to speak, “Uncle Roger.”

Roger quickly moved to him and asked, “Hey. Are you okay? Or you feel uncomfortable? Do I need to call the doctor?”

Logan tried to sit himself up. Then he said with a smile, “It failed, didn’t it?” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Well…I am sorry.” Roger looked miserable and answered. “How do you know it? I haven’t said a word about it….”

Logan smiled, “Because you look sad now. And if it succeeds, Elena will be the first one to tell me about the good news…But now it’s you...”

It seemed that Logan was able to accept the result. He looked around to search Elena. “Where is Elena?”

“She went for a check.”

Logan was confused. A check? Was she uncomfortable? Then he felt a bit worried about Elena.

“Alright.” Logan nodded.

Roger asked him, “How do you feel now? Do I need to call a doctor?” He was so worried about Logan.

“Uncle Roger.” Logan tried to soothe him, “I am good. And I can accept the result. Don’t worry about me, okay?”

He had gone through his darkest time. So nothing could beat him down now.

Roger looked at him with sorrow. He took a deep breath. The next moment, he embraced Logan into his arms, patting Logan’s back, “Logan, I am so sorry that I didn’t keep you safe three years ago.”

He did promise Logan’s mother to protect her son. But Logan still got hurt. And now, Logan had to suffer again!

Logan was shocked since he didn't know Roger had always blamed himself for Logan's legs.

“Uncle Roger…”

Roger's eyes went wet and he patted Logan’s back again, “From now on, I won’t push you to do anything you don’t want to do. And I will let those who hurt you pay for what they’ve done to you!”

Logan could see the flash of cruelty in Roger’s eyes. He closed his eyes. Then as he opened his eyes again, he looked calmer and more determined, seemingly telling Roger that he wouldn’t let them go either.

Suddenly, the door was open. Jacob appeared. Roger let go of Logan. Jacob saw tears in Roger’s eyes, so he regretted that he interrupted them.

“Sorry, sir…” He apologized.

“It’s okay.” Logan shook his head to show that he didn’t mind.

Roger said, “Well, I shall go out now; you can talk.”

Then Elena walked towards Logan. As she looked at Logan, a mixed feeling was shown on her face.

Jacob walked back to the door and said, “Well, I should leave the room for you to talk.” He went out of the room and closed the door for them.
