It was bright in the whole room with sunlight pouring in. Elena blocked the sunlight with her hand and opened her eyes slowly. Until she got used to the strong sunlight, she put down her hand.
It was a clean and white room, with simple decorations.
Elena frowned and heard a familiar voice, “You are finally awake.”
Elena sprung up from the bed alertly, “Kent! Where am I?”
“This is how you treat your savior? If it were not for me, you couldn’t have survived from Emma.” Kent smiled and looked at her as if she was an ungrateful woman.
Elena gritted her teeth, sneering, “Savior?”
‘Does he really think I don’t know his plan? He helped Emma leave the hospital on purpose so Emma took me away. He wanted to sow discord between Logan and me, and then he could come and save me!’
Kent saw that Elena understood everything, laughing happily, “Elena, you are cleverer than I imagine. But you asked many questions, and maybe you should ask about your baby?”
Elena realized it and then immediately protected her belly, touching and feeling to confirm the baby’s safety.
Facing her panic, Kent shrugged, “Relax now. Your baby is safe for now. Calm down…”
Elena was in a great relief.
Kent sat before her, smiling, “Do you still remember the deal you made with me before the surgery?”
‘Promise him everything…’
Elena said, “What do you want?”
“Nothing. I just want you to take good care of your baby here.”
“Do you think I will believe you?”
“However, you have no other choices but to believe me. Remember, I can save your baby and I can also kill your baby!”
He looked cruel, and anyone would know that he was telling the truth.
Elena was afraid and she covered herself with the quilt, “How long do you want me to stay?”
“When I think it is time for you to go, I will let you go. Take it easy. I won’t hurt you…”
Kent stood up, looking at her gloomily and then shaking his head, “But honestly, I admire you. You will try your best to protect the baby for Logan. I think I used to belittle your love for him.”
Hearing Logan’s name, Elena wanted to know more, “How is he now?”
“Paralyzed…do you believe me?” Kent smiled coldly and drawled, not answering her question directly.
Elena looked at him deeply, “He is alright then.”
“How do you know?”
“If something really happens to him, you will be talking with sarcasm in front of me. Also, you will persuade me to forget him and you will not talk to me on other things.”
Kent felt surprised, smiling suddenly, “It seemed that I told you everything then.”
Elena looked at him, speaking slowly, “I am hungry now. You will provide me with food, right?”
Kent glanced at her, saying, “Wait here!”
Kent just left the room, and Elena got off the bed. She tried to find something that she could use to contact others. There was a fixed-line telephone on the nightstand, but the phone line had been cut.
She opened the window to realize that she lived in a huge manor, so huge that she couldn’t see the end of it, with people guarding around. It would be impossible for her to escape.
