"Grandpa, there is no need to rush, you know we’re still young, so you don’t have to worry."
Logan didn’t deny his grandfather’s words that he was not good at pleasing her. In fact, his wife was a little afraid of him.
George chanted, "You guys are just squandering your youth and searching for easy life, wait a few more years and you must worry about it!"
"Well, Grandpa, it's time for you to take a rest." Logan urged, and George sighed, "I'm not happy to speak to you, well, I am going to have a rest now. I don't care about you youngsters."
George got angry and went upstairs, although he said he would go to take a break, he directly went to Logan's bedroom, "Well, I am old and my back is sore, maybe the mattress in this room is softer, you can find another room to sleep in."
Logan helplessly held his forehead, and George kindly reminded him on the other side, "But it’s not convenient for you to stay in the guestroom. So can you consider going to Elena’s room to spend the night?"
"No, I won’t." He shook his head, "Mia has prepared a room for you, I'll just sleep there tonight."
Hearing this, George’s eyes widened at once, "You are so stubborn!"
Logan couldn't do anything to him and then let Mia move his stuff so he could sleep in the guest room.
The guest room hadn't been modified, even the shower in the bathroom was out of his reach. His legs were covered tightly with blankets. He didn’t want to see these legs at all. He used to so healthy, but now… He looked down and removed the blanket. His thin and pale legs were exposed under the yellow light. Thinking that his legs hadn’t been able to move for three years, Logan squeezed his hands and had the impulsion to stand up…
Logan put his hands on the armchair, trying to get up.
CLANG!
Logan couldn’t support his body and fell directly on the ground.
The noise disturbed everyone in the whole house at once. George and Mia rushed quickly into the room, shouting anxiously, "What happened?"
The bathroom door was tightly closed, so they couldn't even see what happened there. Elena arrived later. George was unprecedentedly panicking, and rushed to her, "Elena, try to call George’s name loudly. I don’t know what happened. Did he fall down?"
Elena’s hands froze. She took a deep breath and tapped on the door, "Logan, are you okay?"
There was no sound from the bathroom anymore. After a long time, a voice that was suppressed with sulk came, "Get out, I'm fine."
"Can you open the door and let me check?" She whispered, as if she was coaxing a child.
Logan clenched his fists with the veins on his forehead popping, "Get out!"
George was going to say something when Elena stopped him, "Grandpa, let's get out first."
Mia also knew there was no way to let Logan open the door, so she had to persuade George to get out of the room. On the way, George kept lowering his head, as if he had done something wrong.
He shouldn't occupy his room capriciously. If it were not him, Logan wouldn’t be like this.
Elena patted on his hand, "You can leave for rest, I'll go talk to him later, okay?"
"But..."
"Trust me, he definitely doesn't want anyone to see what he is like now, and if you keep reminding him, it will only make him feel worse."
What Elena said was true. Finally, George went back in hesitation.
Inside the bathroom, Logan, who felt humiliated, righted the wheelchair that had toppled to the floor and sat in it with great difficulty. The weakness of his legs became the biggest stain of his life.
"Damn it!" He punched on his legs with great strength, however, he couldn’t feel anything. Logan clenched his teeth and complained about his incapability.
He took a shower quickly to calm down and opened the bathroom door. When he came out, he found someone was sitting by the bed. Seeing it was Elena, his icy eyes sank as he strengthened, “I’m fine.”
Elena smiled, "I know."
"Then why are you still here. It's late and you should rest!"
