“Stop it!” Elena covered her chest with her arms and looked away because of shyness. Logan touched her slightly, saying composedly, “I’m telling truth.”
“Stop talking about it!”
“OK!” Logan didn’t argue with her. Looking at the scars which were so obvious on her fair skin, he couldn’t help being sullen.
He was silent suddenly. So after applying the medicine, she looked around and asked, “Are you angry with me?”
“No.”
“Yes, you are.”
Logan was puzzled. Elena bit her lip and continued, “You must be angry with me since I’m talking about the Browns, right? Or you don’t like to talk about your wound?”
Logan shook his head. Elena was getting confused, “Then why? What makes you angry?”
Logan touched her face. Now his hands were warm and she felt comfortable and even rubbed against his hands with her face.
He looked at her. Seeing her anxiety and worry in her eyes, Logan couldn’t help feeling even more sullen. Elena frowned, “What’s the matter?”
“I am angry with myself.” He said in a low tone.
Himself?
Elena didn’t understand it. She thought it was her fault. He should be angry with her. But it seemed that he took the blame on himself.
Logan smiled, “I think if I were not confined to my wheelchair, you wouldn’t have been bullied by them anyway.”
Once again, he realized how important to stand or walk like most people. At first, he couldn’t accept that he lost the ability to walk or run, or even stand. Then he had to get used to it. But now, because of Elena, the desire to walk again was growing day by day; all he wanted was the strength to protect her.
After thinking for a moment, she understood what he said. She smiled, “Honey, you are my support though you can’t walk. You are my hero. I love you.”
He had taken the punishment for her. She could feel how strong his love was to her; she cherished it so much.
Men and women were so different in the way of thinking. In her mind, Logan was a superman, who saved her from the darkness and protected her so well.
But Logan didn’t think so. In his mind, no one could bully her if he was powerful enough. He didn’t do his best to keep her safe.
Logan smiled, “My silly girl.”
“You are the silly one!” Elena complained.
Logan didn’t argue. He also believed that both of them were idiots in the game of love.
Elena felt much better after the treatment. And Logan felt somewhat relieved.
After a while, Jacob appeared. He didn’t look well now; his face was pale. Elena remembered that Logan asked him to get his own punishment. He must be punished just now. However, she didn’t ask him for the details.
“Where is Emma Bush now?” Logan asked in a cold tone.
“At home. Mason knew about the fake news, too. He seemed to help find the evidence for Elena.”
Logan said in contempt, “Oh? So he thinks that he can make it up for Elena?”
“OK. You’re in charge.”
Jacob believed he was responsible for the mistake, so he was happy to get the chance to make it up, “Yes, sir!”
Jacob left immediately.
Thinking that Jacob was hurt in the punishment, Elena was worried, “Is he okay? He was hurt, too. I’m afraid he pushed himself too hard.”
He just took the punishment and now he had to work. He was an ordinary man, not a superman. How could he handle this?
Logan pinched her hand, saying in an unhappy tone, “Look at me. Your husband is sitting in front of you! How can you think of other man?”
Elena rolled her eyes, “Come on! I just show my care to your assistant. He works for you so hard!”
“Then you should show more care to me.” Logan embraced her waist in his arms. He leaned against her belly and rested his head there.
Elena patted his head slightly, “You said it didn’t hurt, didn’t you? You are always telling me that I shouldn’t worry about you. And now you are asking for it?”
She had a good memory and she remembered what he said just now. Now she was teasing him by complaining.
Logan pretended to hear nothing, embracing her even more tightly, “I hurt. But if you comfort me and love me, I will feel much better.”
“How can I comfort you?” Hearing his remarks, she knew that he must come up with a bad idea.
Logan looked at her, smiling, “You know it, don’t you?”
