Chapter 247 A Time Bomb
A month later, Logan’s surgery was coming soon. So he made his excuse and asked Elena to move to live with Sophia for a while since he was going on an urgent business trip.
Elena was a bit uneasy, “Why are you in such a hurry? Why can’t I go with you?”
Logan said calmly, “You know, KL is going to work with the Fords. And there is some business I have to discuss with Edward in person. So I must go to G City to meet him. You are pregnant now; I am afraid you will be too tired.”
“My idol is right! It isn’t good for a pregnant woman to take an airplane or a car. If you are not careful enough, you will lose the…” Sophia was trying to persuade her. But she realized that she was like cursing, so she stopped at once.
Elena still wanted to go with Logan. She looked a bit upset. Sophia wrapped her waist with her arms, “Take it easy! Though there are a lot of pretty women in G City, my idol doesn’t give it a shit!”
“What are you talking about?” Elena was blushing. “It’s not what I mean!”
Longa echoed, “Yes, I don’t give a shit. I only love you.”
“!!!” Elena’s rosy face went red as she repeated, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Standing beside them, Zach made a smirk, “Elena, please trust me. I will watch Logan for you. If he dares to give a glance at any other woman, I will tell you at once!” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Sophia rolled her eyes, “Before you tell on my idol, you should behave yourself.”
Zach was embarrassed, forcing a laugh reluctantly.
Elena finally accepted it, pinching her own hand and trying to compose herself, “Alright. Hurry up or you’ll miss the plane.”
Logan raised his eyebrows at her, “Don’t you want to do something to me as a farewell?”
“Ah?” She was confused.
Logan knew that she wouldn’t do anything. So he pulled her arm and made her sit on his legs. Elena was shocked, yelling, “Hey! They are watching us!”
She didn't realize that Sophia and Zach had run away! And Jacob also got into the car. No one was watching them.
He tucked her hair behind her ear, “Stay here till I am back, my sweetie. I promise I’ll be back very soon.”
“Okay. Come back soon.” She looked around to make sure there was no one beside them. She quickly gave a kiss on his lips. “I’ll be here for you.”
Logan was in a splendid mood because of her kiss. He pulled her closer, “I think I can’t bear to leave you.”
Elena smiled at Logan; a sweet smile full of fondness, “You should go now. You are missing the airplane!”
“Can you bear to leave me?” Longa felt a bit gloomy.
Elena covered his eyes immediately so that he couldn’t see her sadness on her face. “You should set off now! Don’t be that sentimental, okay!?”
Logan looked at her, lips pressed tightly together. After a moment, he said, “Nothing could get in our way after I come back to you.” He would find out the man behind Jacqueline and then they should live a peaceful life.
Elena didn’t understand what he was saying while Logan didn't notice her puzzled expression. He let go of her and got into the car.
Watching him leave, Elena’s smile on her face was fading away. She was fairly tense for him to leave; she wanted him around so much.
Sophia came out of nowhere and pulled Elena’s hand, comforting her, “Come on. Don’t be that sad. He is just on a business trip. He’ll be back soon. Don’t worry, okay?”
Elena shook her head, scowling, “What he said just now upsets me. Perhaps I am just too sensitive, but…I feel there is something wrong…”
“I bet you are too sensitive! I hear that a pregnant woman will always let her imagination run wild with her. You are just thinking too much!”
Though Sophia was right, Elena still felt sad.
Sophia led her into the house, “Relax. Don’t make things complicated. You can't be that unlucky or have every bad accident come to you. Easy! It’s not the end of the world.”
Elena answered with a nod, “Yes, you are right. I should relax.” Perhaps she was just too worried.
*****
M Country.
Logan went to Albert’s hospital as soon as he landed in M country. Albert was waiting for him. This time, the hospital was strictly watched and guarded, and no one could come near them without permission.
After a series of physical examinations, Albert patted Logan’s shoulder and said, “I have faith in this surgery. At least I can make you stand up again. After the surgery, you must do your rehab. You will get better.”
“Okay,” Logan answered.
Albert stared at him, “Don’t you tell a word about the surgery to Elena? Does she doubt it?”
“She is pregnant now. I am afraid to worry her at this point.”
He didn’t want her to worry too much. Just stay safe and happy as she was now. He would remove all the obstacles and kept them safe and happy forever.
“Gosh. You are so cruel, leaving your wife and the baby alone at home.”
Logan gave him a stern look, and asked, “Anything weird happened?”
“Perhaps it did. Who knows?” Albert shrugged, “You know, last time we realized something weird after your surgery. So I have no clue whether it will happen again. I even don’t know if the unknown man will show up or not.”
Logan rubbed his aching temples, “This man contacted Jacqueline and ruined my surgery; that’s to say, he is always lurking in the shadows and watching us. He is a time bomb, a threat to us. We must get rid of him!” Otherwise, no one would know when it exploded.
Albert knew what he said, “I got it. And we will win the game. Maybe we can’t deal with the man right now, but at least I can fix your legs. It’s a good deal.”
It had been three years. Albert had tried to persuade him to accept the surgery again and again, but Logan didn’t agree. And now, he was so happy to know that Logan decided to accept the surgery!
Logan squinted at him, “I hope I won’t be a medical example while you are conducting your lesson.”
Logan seemed to read his mind; Albert was so frustrated, “Can’t I even mention about it? It’s a good example! I think my student can learn a lot from your…”
“You can try,” Logan said with a smile.
Albert was scared by Logan’s smile which was like a warning, telling him that he would get in trouble if he really made him as an example in his class. So, he gave up this idea.
“I promise! I won’t tell a word!”
Logan was satisfied with his reply. Then he said, “Be careful tomorrow. I don’t want anyone to ruin my surgery again!”
