Chapter 231 As you wish
Elena stood beside Logan’s bed, looking at him for a while without saying anything. Logan wondered what she was thinking now. He smiled at her and let her come closer.
Elena was hesitant, and then slowly moved towards him. "You’ve known the result, right?”
“Yes.”
“I am so…”
Before she could apologize, he sealed her mouth with a kiss. His thumb was touching her soft sweet lips, whispering, “Babe…it’s not your fault. By the way, I’ve received many apologies after I woke up; I am tired of it. Could you please tell me something funny?”
She looked up at him, staring at his face in a daze.
He curled his lips at her, “You have something to tell me, don’t you?”
“I…” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Uncle Roger told me that you did an examination. What’s it about? How is it going?” He held her hands, trying to warm her cold hands up.
Elena didn’t answer at once. She was wondering if she should tell him the news at that moment. It might not be the right moment as his surgery just failed.
Logan was curious, “Babe?”
“Well…try to guess?” Elena said.
He laughed, rubbing her face gently, “Well, let me guess…”
He pretended to ponder. After a while of “thinking”, he put his hand on her belly, “We are going to have a baby, aren’t we?”
“How do you ….” She was so surprised that he got the right answer.
Logan was right. Elena was pregnant.
He was so happy to know the good news, embracing her into his arms.
“Elena, thank you so much. I am so happy.”
It was the best gift he had ever received, which dispelled the darkness in his life.
She lowered her head, “But…you just accepted a surgery…I am not ready for the baby…”
She didn’t know what to say. It happened all of a sudden. She was just not ready to be a mother.
“Hush…”
He pressed a finger to her lips, then kissed her, saying with a solemn expression, “Elena. It’s our baby. We should be happy no matter when it comes to us. Don’t say that again. Our baby won’t be happy.”
She started to cry in his embrace, “I am sorry…I won’t say that again. I should be happy. We work so hard for it and now it comes.”
He smiled, looking at her face, and saying in a mild tone, “Hey…let me hear the baby.”
Then he put his head on her flat belly. Though it was too early to hear anything, he was so delighted now.
She explained, “The baby won’t kick now. It is a fetus!”
“Okay…I am waiting.” He touched her belly sightly and carefully, like touching a baby’s head.
“It’s just a month…you have to wait another nine months.”
“A month?!” Logan was astonished. Then he touched her belly even more mildly. “Did I scare it last night?”
“What?”
Just a minute, she realized what he meant. She blushed.
He argued, “It’s your fault…I just couldn’t help it. You know, you were so sexy last night.”
She was blushing heavily. It was his fault. He started the sex, and now he tried to blame it on her.
Logan was making fun of her. Looking at her angry pink face, he found that she was so cute. He rubbed her head and said, “Elena. Don’t worry too much about my surgery, okay? I’ve accepted it. And I am getting used to sitting in the wheelchair.”
Elena was unhappy, pursing her lips. “I don’t care if you can walk or not. I love you because you are who you are. I just worry that you will be unhappy about it.”
She thought he might be frustrated. However, he was much more positive than she imagined.
“No, I won’t be unhappy. Don’t overthink.” He comforted her.
Elena felt a bit relieved, and answered with a nod, “Alright.”
He smiled at her, “Good girl.” He looked at her with affection. But Elena thought he might treat her as a pet!

Jacqueline was so upset now. Before Logan’s surgery, she made a deal with the man. But she didn’t know if the deal succeeded.
After a few hours, her phone rang.
She quickly stood up, trying to compose herself and saying in a calm tone to Cornel, “Well…I am tired. I’m going up to rest. Wake me up if necessary.” Then she went upstairs with her phone.
George thought she was a bit weird so he went after her. But before he could do anything, she locked the door. George had no idea what she was going to do in her bedroom.
She saw no one in her bedroom. That made her relieved. She picked up the phone, “How is the surgery?”
“As you wish.”
“It failed?” cried Jacqueline. Then she found her voice was too loud, she tried to control her volume.
“Yes. He will be disabled forever.”
Though she was excited, she still doubted, “How do I know if it’s true? What if you are telling lies? I don’t want to waste my money.”
The man sent her two photos, showing Logan's situation in the operating room. Jacqueline was shocked, “How do you blend in?”
“It’s none of your business. Now I’ve finished the job, you should give me money. If you try to fool me, you will suffer…”
“Don’t worry. I will give you money.” Jacqueline made the promise. She didn’t dare to fool the man, who was so treacherous and powerful. If she did anything against him, she might end up suffering!
Getting her guarantee, he hung up the phone.
She was flushed with excitement at the thought that Logan would be disabled forever. She still had a chance to win back what she wanted in the Browns!
As she was dreaming about the good life after beating Logan down, her eyes glittered with greed.
Someone was walking toward her, and then she heard a voice, “Mom! Whom are you talking to?”
