Chapter303 Blood Ties
Blood Ties
Elena glared at him with her sharp eyes. But he kept silent. Then she was angered, “Why not?”
“There’s no reason. Anyone can be your brother but him, that bastard!”
“Though he had done something wrong, he was doing that for me.”
Logan ignored what she had said and asked, “Where’s Jacob?”
“The guy who damaged our car intentionally is busted, so Jacob came to see what happened. We can go home by ourselves later.” Elena did not realize he was trying to change the subject, so she answered him quickly.
Logan nodded, “OK, we can come home after we take the result of medical examination.”
Elena suddenly thought of what they were talking about and grabbed his arm hurriedly, “No, we hadn’t finished what we were talking. You did not even give me an explanation.”
“What explanation?”
“Kent, why can’t he be my brother?”
At least, he was earnest…
Logan said resignedly with a deep frown. “Why would you suddenly mention him? Calm down, take care of your baby.”
Elena knew he was changing the subject on purpose, so she stood on tiptoe and held his cheek, “Don’t’ try to avoid my question. Why can’t he be my brother?”
“There’s no reason.”
Logan looked around. Then he scooped her up and put her on a bench so that she could look into his eyes without tiptoeing.
Elena blushed immediately, “Logan…”
Logan looked at her innocently, smiling, “I don’t want you to be so tired tiptoeing.”
“you’re saying I’ve got short legs!”
“No.”
“What about Kent?”
Logan grabbed his forehead – they came back to the subject eventually.
Elena sniffed, “Hurry, don’t think you can hide something from me!”
Logan said slowly, “Do you think I will admit he’s your family even though he has been so arrogant to me? And then he will become my brother-in-law?” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Nevertheless, he could not lose his face!
Elena finally knew why he insisted that Kent couldn’t be her brother. They had been hostile to each other, so Logan might not accept that Kent would become his brother-in-law suddenly.
The reason seemed amusing, but it was also convincing. Now she did not know what to do.
Logan rubbed her cheek, “Anyway, don’t bring that up again. I will not agree.”
“But…”
Elena chuckled with her hand covering her mouth, “He’s my brother indeed, even though you don’t want to accept that.”
They were related by blood. That was an undeniable fact.
“That’s something that I need to consider in the future. By now, at least, I will give him a clout if he dares to call you his sister in front of me.” Logan gnashed his teeth.
Elena pushed his hand away. Then she kissed him on his cheek when she saw he said that seriously.
“What if he does call me his sister?”
“Would you like to hazard a guess?” He raised his eyebrows and looked at her expectantly. Then Elena gave a shudder and had a horrible suspicion.
She realized what he was implying, so she jumped off the bench and wiped it, “Never mind. I don’t want to guess.”
She thought he would “take it out on her” if she said something wrong.
Logan stroked her hair kindly, “I just want to remind you. I haven’t done anything to you.”
“It’s too late if I recall when you want to do something.” Elena murmured.
Logan heard what she had said, but he looked at her and asked intentionally, “What?”
Elena looked innocent as well, with her eyes blinking, “Nothing, I’m saying you’re handsome and smart…”
She did not dare to repeat what she had said. And she did not want to remind him when she thought of how she was “punished” earlier.
After a while, Jeff and Albert came out with the result. Elena was relieved when she saw they were quite relaxed.
Then Albert spoke, “He’s fine. Just remember to have check-up on time this year.”
“I will.”
Logan nodded his head. But Elena asked, “So he will make a full recovery after a year?
“Not really. It depends whether his legs will have an accident again. If he is hit severely on his legs, or if he has an accident like he did back then, he will probably…”
Albert did not continue, but they knew what he meant.
His hand, which kept holding her hand, was gripped tightly by her. It was big and warm…
Jeff clapped his hands, trying to make them less depressed. “Hey! What are you doing? Mr. Albert just said you should avoid such accident. It does not happen. Don’t be so upset, OK?”
Albert flicked a glare at him, “Just be quiet.”
He knew better patients’ feelings. And Jeff should not tease at this moment.
Jeff had to shut up in embarrassment and stand next to Albert quietly.
Logan suddenly laughed and said, “It’s not that bad. I’ll take care.”
“You’d better do as you said.” Albert said soberly, “I’ve known you for a long time. And I know what you tend to do. It’s best if you will be careful.”
Elena was surprised hearing that, “You’ve really seen him through.”
Albert did know what happened. But he thought he should not intervene in some situations, so he patted on Logan’s shoulder and said, “I don’t want my successful case to fail in the end, so take care of yourself no matter what happens.”
Logan lifted his hand and knocked on Albert’s shoulder lightly, “Relax, I won’t fail you.”
Albert laughed out and had a look at his watch, “That’s it. I need to go to a lecture at the college. Call me anytime.”
“OK.”
Elena said goodbye to Albert. Then he looked at her with a smile, “I really like your baby. And I hope I could be its godfather if possible.”
“Well…”
Elena gave an apologetic smile, “The baby has its godmother. As for godfather… I’m sorry.”
Albert knew she was declining politely, then he gave a knowing nod, “That’s a pity.”
Standing behind Albert, Jeff had to remind him, “Mr. Albert, you are going to be late. You’d better set off now if you don’t want to lose face.”
Then Albert thought of the lecture and left hurriedly. Jeff took a deep breath when he saw Albert left, “I get stressed every time when I’m together with Mr. Albert.”
