Logan came back to the hotel and saw Elena on the bed covered by the comforter tightly. So he pulled her out.
The tears were still on her cheeks. She was crying, which made him feel miserable, “Babe. What’s wrong?”
“I…”
She tried to talk but didn’t know what to say. She herself didn’t know why she was crying.
Logan patted her head gently, “Hey, tell me why you are crying.”
She looked up at him, feeling much better because of his mild smile.
She embraced him, “Logan…I am afraid…”
She expressed her concerns again. So he embraced her in his arms and asked, “Afraid of what? You encouraged me to accept the surgery. What are you afraid of?”
“I have no idea…”
“Silly girl.”
He cupped her face, looking into her eyes, “Don’t be afraid. You know that the worst result is I can’t walk, just like before. So nothing will change. But now the surgery is hopeful, isn’t it?”
So, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Elena understood it, but she just couldn’t help worrying about it.
“Yeah,” She answered, cheering herself up and smiling, “I won’t be afraid anymore.”
He nodded, touching her face gently, “I will be with you.”
No matter what, he would be with her and protect her.
Elena was moved by him, feeling warm, “I won’t let you go. You are mine. You can’t leave me!”
“I can’t bear to leave you.” He smiled.
He was so sweet. Elena said, “Okay, Enough sentimental talk.” She was about to get up from the bed.
Logan wouldn’t let her run away, pushing her back on the bed, “But you like it, don’t you?”
“I don’t like it. Let go of me. I am getting up.” She tried to run away with a blushing face.
Jacob tried to explain, “Sir said he didn’t want to put pressure on you. And he wants you to have a rest.”
“Damn it! I don’t need a rest!” Elena shouted.
Jacob was stunned. He sent her to the hospital immediately in case she should become even angrier.
Logan was waiting. After asked a few questions by the nurse, he saw Elena standing outside the room. He smiled, “Why are you here? I thought you haven’t woken up.”
“You didn’t wake me up on purpose, did you?” She said unhappily.
Logan didn’t answer her question, but asked, “Have you eaten anything?”
Elena pursed her lips, “Well, I have no mood to eat because you try to do the surgery without letting me know.”
No wonder he was so sweet and romantic yesterday! That was his plan!
Logan touched his nose because he felt a bit embarrassed about lying to her.
“I want to accompany you before your surgery. Why are you refusing me? Actually, I am not that vulnerable as you imagine!” She contradicted.
