Chapter 244 I am so sorry for you
Jacqueline was scared. She wanted to hold Cornel’s hand, hoping that he would help her. But he just looked at her in disgust.
“Cornel! Believe me! I really didn’t mean it! I never hurt Logan. I never want to hurt him. And I never think of killing his baby!”
George hit the ground with his stick, making a dull sound. “I know I am old. I don’t want to care too much at my age. But this time, Jacqueline has gone too far!”
“Dad…What do you want?” Jacqueline asked, looking uneasy.
He glanced at her, “From this minute on, you will move to another room alone. You can’t come here without my permission in six months. You are grounded. Stay in your room and reflect on what you’ve done!”
No one could go against George. Jacqueline was so angry. She thought she would be hit by him, but now she was grounded!
Yolanda felt a bit relieved. At least, her own mother wouldn’t get hurt. It was just six months. It wasn’t a long time.
George didn’t want to stay with them in the living room anymore. He stood up and went to his bedroom.
Yolanda helped Jacqueline up who wiped her tears away and said in a low tone to Cornel, “Cornel…I know you don't trust me. But I have to explain that I never did anything to Logan! I never did what dad said just now. I had no idea why Logan couldn’t get the money; and he never contacted us, I…”
But Cornel seemed to be in chaos. He refused to see her, turning his back to her, “Will you stop denying and just be quiet? I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Go and get your things and move as dad said.”
Jacqueline was angry. A flash of hatred crossed her eyes. She clenched her fists. “Alright…” said she in the end.
Yolanda patted her back to soothe her, “Mom, I will go with you.” Then they went upstairs together.
But just stepping into her bedroom, Jacqueline pushed Yolanda away. Yolanda didn't expect this and hit the door, which was so painful.
Jacqueline started to scold her, “Useless! Don’t pretend to help me now! Why didn’t you help me just now?!”
Yolanda knew it was her fault, so she didn’t argue.
Jacqueline fumed, “Six months! I have to stay in the tiny room for six months! Who knows what will happen in the six months? Elena is safe and so is the bastard in her belly!”
Yolanda couldn’t bear and yelled, “It’s all your fault!”
“My fault?!”
“Yes! It’s all your fault! You are not clever enough to set her up! What you’ve done is too damn stupid! Anyway, you are just too stupid to make it!”
“You…” Jacqueline was irritated, “How dare you defy your mother! Stop retorting me, you stupid useless bastard!” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“Mom!” Yolanda tried to explain, “Can’t you see it? Grandpa takes Logan’s side. No matter what we do, Grandpa won’t listen to us!”
“Stop it! Don’t look down on us!” Jacqueline stared at her.
Yolanda didn’t say anything anymore.
Jacqueline gathered up her things and was ready to move to another room, “Easy. I will be there for only one month. Then you find a way to help me. Christmas is coming. It’s the most important festival for family gatherings. George will listen to you if you suggest I should get out.”
Yolanda nodded but she saw a flash of hatred on Jacqueline's face. She hoped it was her illusion.

George couldn’t help making a call to Logan. He sat on his bed, looking so lonely.
“Logan, I’ve punishedJacqueline. From now on, no one can hurt you in this house!”
Logan looked outside the window, “Grandpa, you don’t have to do this.”
“I am so sorry…” George took a deep breath, “I asked you to tolerate Cornel and Jacqueline for the sake of family. But I forgot that sometimes you shouldn’t bear them. It was my fault and you were forced to leave.”
“I left not because I was forced. It was my choice. I won’t take over the family business as you wish either.”
“Anyway, I feel so sorry to you. I owe you a lot.”
“Grandpa. I don’t want to talk about the past anymore.” Logan said, looking emotionless.
“Huh…” George sighed, looking less energetic, “Logan, I don’t want you to hate your father. We are family. I hope you can move on from this moment…Christmas is coming…I hope we could be reunited happily.”
He was an old man now; what he wanted was to take in some pleasure in the family and enjoyed his happy life with them.
Logan didn’t answer, shaking his head with a smile.
George knew that it wasn’t easy for him to let go of the past. He signed again, feeling sentimental.
“Alright. I won’t force you to accept it at once. Take good care of Elena.”
“I will.”
After a while, George broke the silence between them. “Your legs…I hope you can accept the situation and move on as well. We all know the result. But it’s okay. I am glad that you are fine.”
Logan answered in a cold tone, “Grandpa, you asked me to move on from the past. But what will you do if I tell you that it was Jacqueline who made me disabled?”
George was too dumbfounded to hold his stick. He nearly cried out in shock, “She did it…How could she…”
Logan smiled, “I am just kidding. I hope you don’t mind.” He hung up the phone immediately.
George was frozen. He couldn’t forget what Logan said. If Logan was telling the truth, how much had Jacqueline done behind him?
Logan left the ward. And Elena was back after doing an antenatal examination. They nearly ran into each other at the door of the ward.
He rubbed his head, “Why are you in a hurry? It seems that you miss me so badly.”
Elena said, “No, I don’t.” Then she walked into the ward with the report. She looked so happy.
Logan stopped Jeff who was walking after Elena. And he told Jeff, “Please contact Albert and let him arrange the surgery.”
Since the show was started; he would like to finish it.
