Elena was waiting outside the Emergency Room. The corridor seemed endless, just like her desperation right now, which kept growing without an end. She couldn’t see the brightness. She was sinking into the darkness hopelessly.
Just in a few hours, everything changed. She was set up to be a murderer who tried to kill Emma.
When Logan and Jacob arrived, he saw Elena sat on the ground hopelessly, with blood on her dress. No one paid attention to her. She was just like a homeless child.
She saw the shadow on the ground, feeling someone approaching her. She raised her head and saw Logan.
“Logan…” She murmured. Her eyes looked empty, dead.
Logan took off his coat to cover her, trying to embrace her into his arms. He then comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t worry. I am here.”
Because of his comfort, she started crying and her heart burst with grief and grievance.
She wrapped his neck with her arms, biting his shoulder. And her tears damped his clothes.
Then she pushed him away and yelled in anger, “Why? Why don’t you tell me the truth? Why do you hide it from me? Logan, tell me! Why?!”
She could accept it if someone else tried to hide the truth from her. But not him.
Logan understood what she talked about. He embraced her even more tightly, “I am sorry.”
“I don’t need your apology. I need your explanation! You knew it, but you chose not to tell me. Why? Is it funny to see I am living and struggling in your lie?”
Logan couldn’t say anything but let her have an outlet in that way.
She kept crying. She didn’t stop until all her strength ran out. After a moment, she finally composed herself.
“What happened? What’s wrong with Emma?” He wiped her tears away. Looking at her red eyes, he felt so heartbreaking.
“Emma…she…”
She tried to explain though she was still shocked. “She fell down from upstairs by herself. But before that, she called Jeremy, and made him misunderstand that I made it happen…”
Logan was astonished after hearing her words.
Jacob knew what he should do right away, “I will look into this case and find out the clues.”
“Pointless…” Elena shook her head.
She was so clear that she couldn’t prove herself innocent without any witness or evidence.
“Elena!” Someone roared in anger. She turned around and saw Mason and Jeremy approaching her, looking at her in rages.
Mason was about to give a slap on her face, however, Logan was faster than him and stopped him by grasping his hand. “Mr. Bush. Before we find out the truth, no one can touch her!”
Mason was trembling and stared at him in a fury, “What do you mean by finding out the truth? Emma asked Jeremy for help on the phone, which proved that Elena was the murderer!”
“I will find out the truth. But not now.” Logan said in a calm tone.
“Truth?” Jeremy looked at Elena with disappointment and fear, “Elena, I thought you would always remain innocent and kind, though Emma had changed. But I am wrong! Totally wrong! She is pregnant! How can you do this to her?”
Elena was dumbfounded. She wanted to rush into the Emergency Room and woke her up, telling her that she won in this game! Emma successfully made her a target. Now everyone would think that she was a murderer!
