Logan didn’t answer. He wanted to be with Elena till he was sent to the OR. But she showed worry yesterday, which made him change his mind.
Elena said gently, “Hey, don’t worry about me, okay?”
“Em.” He nodded. “I will let Jacob get you some food.”
She was so tired yesterday. And she didn’t have dinner last night. And now she felt so hungry as he reminded.
Jacob brought the food for her. She ate some of it. Then Logan was sent into the operating room, ready to accept the operation. So she stopped eating and came in with him.
Albert came to her and let her know about the surgery before it started. “It’s not risky. So you don’t have to worry. But the rehabilitation is very important after the surgery.”
“I know.” She was upset, clenching fists behind her hip, trying to speak in a calm tone, “I trust you.”
“I will do my best.” He patted her shoulder and walked into the operating room with his team.
A team of doctors who were wearing masks and white uniforms were walking into the operating room. She couldn’t recognize anyone of them since their faces were covered. But she felt one of them was a bit familiar, so she tried hard to recognize the person but failed.
Roger saw her standing there and musing, “What’s wrong? Elena?”
“I think one of the doctors is familiar…” She looked at the door. It was closing.
“Who?”
“Well…forget it.” She looked at Roger, “Maybe I mistake it.”
She must have mistaken it. It was in M Country! No one here would know them. It was impossible to meet an old friend here.
Roger nodded. After a while, he paced back and forth because he felt apprehensive. Elena looked at him and felt upset too. She bit her lip, trying to compose herself.
Roger took a breath, “Well, I am sorry. I need to smoke.”
She understood him and answered him with a nod. Then she was staring at the floor.
The Browns got to know that Logan would have surgery this afternoon. Elena was stunned because Jacqueline made this call.
She smiled, “Elena. The surgery is on, isn’t it?”
“Any problem?”
“We all care about Logan. We just want to know how it is going.” Jacqueline blamed.
Elena frowned. She would never believe that Jacqueline meant well to them. She must fake it in front of Grandpa.
“We don’t know. We are still waiting.” She answered coldly.
Jacqueline seemed to be happier, “Great. That’s great.”
“What?!”
“I mean…it’s great that the surgery is on. Logan will recover after the surgery.”
“You tried to stop him from accepting the surgery. And now you are so happy with it? Why?” Elena asked.
What’s more, Logan and Elena knew that she must have something to do with the car accident three years ago. But they couldn’t find out the evidence! Jacqueline must be afraid that Logan would be a threat to her after he got recovered. Why was she happy now?
Jacqueline tried to explain, “We were so silly before. We should encourage Logan to move on from the past. We shouldn’t stop him. Anyway, it’s good for him to accept the surgery.”
Before she could say something more, George took away the phone.
“Elena! How is Logan? How is the surgery?”
