Elena was smiling and talking with George. But Cornel looked so frustrated sitting beside them. After a while, George urged Elena to go home for a good rest.
Logan gave a glance at Cornel, “Elena should be having a good rest at home now. But someone is wasting our time.”
Who was wasting their time? The answer was so obvious.
George stared at Cornel in indignation. He was going to give Cornel a lesson after they left.
Someone was standing at top of the staircase, sneakily eavesdropping on their conversation. It was Yolanda. But when she got the word “Pregnant”, she was badly shocked by the news.
The next reaction was rushing to Jacqueline’s room. She violently opened the door, running to Jacqueline who was sleeping on the bed.
Jacqueline knew that Logan’s surgery failed, and she also knew that Cornel asked them here to blame. So she was so happy and going to have a good sleep. But Yolanda was so rude to enter her room without permission! And she was so impolite to interrupt her.
Jacqueline said impatiently, “Why are you in a hurry? Don’t bother me. Let me have a rest.”
Yolanda looked at her in a fever of anxiety. “Mom, shit, shit!” She even couldn’t complete her sentence.
“What are you talking about?”
Yolanda stamped her feet, “It’s Logan…”
“Logan what?” Jacqueline sat up immediately, yelling in excitement.
Yolanda denied, “No, no! Elena….”
“Can you just finish your sentence? I don’t know what you are talking about!”
“Elena is pregnant!”
Jacqueline was appalled by what she said. “What?!”
“Elena is pregnant! It’s been a month! It’s true! I heard it myself!”
“It’s impossible! He is disabled! He can't make Elena pregnant!” Jacqueline blurted it out.
Yolanda quickly stopped her, “Mom! Quiet! They are just downstairs! They will hear you!”
Jacqueline felt drumming in her temples. She thought Logan wasn’t a threat to her anymore since he became disabled. However, he would have a child! George must be so happy about that!
“Mom…What should we do? He will have a baby! Grandpa must listen to him from now on! That’s to say, Logan would be the owner of the business of the Browns! We can’t beat him down!”
“Not need to panic! Calm down!” Jacqueline sullenly said, “We will find a way out. I don’t think his baby could be born.”
“Mom…You mean…”
Jacqueline didn’t answer, “Don’t worry, my sweetie. I will handle it.”
Yolanda was terrified by the cruelty and hatred in her mother’s eyes.
*****
Elena was eager to leave the Browns’ villa. She felt so uncomfortable talking with Cornel. After stepping out, she quickly got into the car, desperate to leave. Logan went after her. He touched her forehead, “I am so sorry to upset you.”
