Presiden's wild wife

Chapter 224 Logan’s Decision

“Father.” Cornel said, “How is it going?”

Logan gave him a quick glance, then turned back to Elena. Elena smiled and told him that she was fine.

George sighed, “Cornel, forget it. Let them do as they want.”

“But…what if it fails?”

“Shut up!” George interrupted, “It’s done. It’s Logan’s choice. We should respect him. Now there’s hope. Why don’t we have a try?”

Cornel didn’t know what Logan said to George. Anyway, George was persuaded.

What was done was done. Cornel couldn’t do anything or say anything to stop them. He had to accept it.

George patted Elena’s hands gently, “Please take good care of Logan, Elena.”

“Will do. Grandpa.” She answered with a nod.

George had nothing more to say to them, so he left with Cornel.

Returning to the Brown’s villa, Cornel told Jacqueline about Logan’s decision. She was unstable. She thought she could gain her status in the Browns by pleasing George as Logan who was just a disabled man. But if he recovered, he must win back the control of the business of the Browns. That was to say, her good life in the Browns would be ended.

Thinking of that, she was so worried. She was asking Cornel to stop Logan from accepting the surgery. But Cornel said, “I’ve tried. But they didn’t listen to me.”

Looking at his unhappy face, Jacqueline stopped talking and left the room. She happened to see Yolanda sitting on the couch in the living room.

Yolanda was wearing her earphones, playing games happily. Jacqueline was so furious with her. She took off her earphones without hesitation. Yolanda was startled, yelling, “Hey! I am playing games!”

“Playing games!? All you know is to play games?!” Jacqueline pointed to Yolanda’s head with her finger, “Logan will accept surgery soon! If it succeeds, it will be the end of our good life in the Browns! Can you just be more helpful to me?”

Yolanda retorted, “It’s none of my business. He does what he wants.”

And who knew if the surgery would be successful or not?

Jacqueline stamped and yelled, “Why do I have such a useless and unhelpful daughter!”

“Enough!”

Yolanda didn’t listen to her, standing up and leaving for her bedroom.

Jacqueline realized she said something wrong to Yolanda. She wanted to say sorry to Yolanda. However, Yolanda walked much faster than her, slamming the door at her when she was still on the stairs.

“Yolanda…”

Jacqueline knocked on the door slightly, “Open the door. You know I don’t mean it. Let’s talk, okay?”

But Yolanda didn’t answer.

She felt angry and helpless because of her useless husband. And now Yolanda didn’t even listen to her. She was filled with grievances and rages, but she couldn’t find a way to let them out.

She thought life was so unfair to her. His husband didn’t listen to her. And the business of the Browns was going down. What’s worse, Cornel had no voice in the Browns now.

And Yolanda was too young to accomplish anything. Yolanda was caring about nothing but having fun now, from Paris Fashion Week to the Cannes Film Festival. She was an unreliable daughter!

She was so concerned about her future. While she was thinking, her phone rang. It was a man, “Mrs. Brown, what about making a deal with me?”

*****

It was a fine day. Elena and Logan just arrived at M country. Jacob and Roger were going with them.

On the way to the hospital, Roger was talking about the surgery and showing his concern all the way, which really annoyed people. At last, when they were at the hospital, Logan said, “Uncle Roger. Don’t worry about me. It’ll be fine.”

“But are you getting ready for it? I am afraid…” Roger was still concerned.

Elena clenched her fists without saying a word. Logan said to Jacob, “Jacob. Please send Uncle Roger to the hotel and help him check-in.”

Jacob answered with a nod, “Yes, sir. Mr. Scott, please go with me.”

Roger wanted to stay with Logan, but Jacob comforted him, “Don’t worry, Mr. Scott. The surgery isn’t proceeding today. Sir will accept some examinations before it.”

Roger felt a bit relaxed and left with Jacob.

Elena took a breath of relief, “Uncle Roger is making me nervous…” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Logan smiled, “He is always overly concerned. Let’s go. We’ll talk to Albert.”

Albert was the head of the hospital, and meanwhile the chief doctor in charge of Logan’s surgery. She heard about him from Jacob. Now they were heading for Albert’s office.

This was her first time meeting Albert. He was a young man at the age of thirty with an impressive face.

Albert patted Logan’s shoulder and said, “Take it easy. As long as you are my patient, I will do all my best on the surgery.”

Logan nodded, “I know.”

“Hah, hah, hah.” Albert was laughing. He was talkative. They were talking about college life when they studied together. Elena was listening to them, imagining what Logan’s college life was like.

Albert took a look at his legs, “I hope you can stand up again. I miss the old days when we were students and we had great fun together.”

Logan smiled, “I wish too.”

“Where is Zach? He hasn’t shown up.”

“Puff!”

Thinking of how funny Zach always was, Elena couldn’t help laughing. Then she realized how abrupt she was now. She tried to explain, “I am sorry. I don’t mean to interrupt you…”

“Oh, Mrs. Brown. You don’t have to say sorry.” Albert said. “I owe you an apology. I shouldn’t keep talking about the past with Logan. It’s so rude to ignore you.”

Elena’s eyes blinked at him. Actually, she didn’t mind at all.

“It’s okay. Well, I enjoy listening to you. You two are really good friends.” Elena said.

“Though Albert is young, he is a sophisticated and serious man. He makes lectures around our country. A lot of people complain that he is an antique.” Logan smiled.

Albert gave him a sharp stare, “Hey! Don’t laugh at me! People also complained the same about you in college!”

Elena was smiling at them, finding it funny to see them “fight”.
