Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 213

Janice looked at Logan with tear-filled eyes, appearing utterly helpless. It was as though Logan had suddenly become her beacon of hope.

Logan nodded, indicating his understanding.

I noticed that Logan was quite the ladies man. Regardless of how harshly any woman addressed him, he always returned their bitterness with kindness, calling them affectionate terms like 'dear'.

Janice collected herself and continued, "Because of this whole mess, I've become the laughing stock of the town. They all look at me like I'm some sort of fool. Sure, in front of Olivia, I always come out on top. But behind my back, I know what they're saying about me."

"They're just jealous because they can't bring you down!" Catherine chimed in, hitting the nail on the head.

Janice let out a laugh at this, but tears also welled up in her eyes. "My sister and I, we've become a joke!"

"Just hang in there!" Logan said calmly. His unflappable demeanor gave everyone a sense of security. "Let them have their laugh now. We'll shut them up with the facts soon enough."

Logan's words made me think of my current predicament. I was surrounded on all sides, but I had to lay low for now, waiting for the right moment to prove everyone wrong with hard evidence.

"The priority now is to find the child. No matter how thoroughly we investigate your situation, we'll have to wait until your sister wakes up to take the next step. We've waited this long, so we can wait a little longer." Logan's attitude was incredibly flexible, much like his dexterity in handling any situation.

Just as Catherine was about to interject, Logan stopped her and turned to Janice with a serious look. "But Janice, a word of caution. Before your sister wakes up, it'd be best not to leave her alone. Have a couple of trusted, sharp-minded people with her at all times. Some accidents can be quite unexpected."

Janice was stunned by Logan's words. She stood there, frozen, and then suddenly turned and stormed out of the room, leaving everyone else in shock.

Gevena quickly grabbed her bag and said as she rushed out, "Mr. Monahan, thanks for the heads up! Allie, I'm going to go check on her. We can't afford to take any chances with her health!"

I nodded quickly. "Go on, just don't let her get too worked up!"

Gevena gave me an 'ok' sign and darted after Janice.

Catherine sighed and shook her head, looking appreciatively at Logan. "Seems like your warning was necessary after all."
