At night, Jacqueline naturally stayed in the main house. Since she hadn't been with Cornel for a long time, Jacqueline couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Even she talked to Cornel cautiously.
"Cornel..."
Cornel put down the book in his hand and looked at her. "Do you have something to say?"
"How do you know that?"
"It's obvious on your face that you have something to tell me." Cornel smiled and opened his arms to her. Jacqueline pouted and got close to him.
"Cornel, I feel it strange that Logan's legs recovered so fast."
Cornel was confused. "What do you mean?"
"I mean..." Jacqueline sat up straight from his arms. "More than a month ago, they said that the operation had failed. Then after less than two months, his legs are already fine. Isn't it strange? Do you think there is something we don't know?"
Cornel looked a little embarrassed. It seemed that he didn't want to think too much. He patted her on her shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's hard to guess what the process is, and it's not good to guess like this."
"I didn't guess!" Jacqueline immediately expressed her grievance, "I just feel strange. Why can't I ask?"
"I didn't mean that..."
"Do you mean that I am trying to alienate you and your son?" Jacqueline's face darkened.
Shaking his head, Cornel replied, "I've told you that you misunderstood me!"
Jacqueline sighed secretly, "Cornel, you know I'm always so straightforward. I just think that Logan is too shrewd. Besides, he is not close to me. Maybe he even wants me to die when he sees me. I'm really afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that Logan has his own ulterior motives. As soon as I look at his legs, I always feel strange. How could his legs recover so fast? Other patients with a vegetable state keep laying on the bed for years. Why can't they recover so fast?"
"Jacqueline, stop it!"
Cornel was flustered by her words and interrupted her in a hurry, "Don't say these words in front of George, in case you'll be punished to reflect on yourself again!"
Jacqueline lowered her head and said, "I'm not afraid of self-reflection. I just feel uneasy all the time. What if he has pretended to be disabled for three years? It's so horrible. Now he suddenly recovered. Maybe George also wants to let him take charge of the Browns. Since he hates me so much, will he..."
The more she said, the more scared she was, and her body began to tremble.
Looking at this, Cornel subconsciously held her tightly. "Alright, don't think too much. You are already so scared!"
"Alas..."
Jacqueline sighed again, "I hope I guessed wrong. Maybe it was just the mercy of God to let Logan stand up again. Maybe I've thought too much.”
Her words seemed to comfort herself well. She smiled awkwardly and lay on the bed. "Just sleep. Let's stop talking about this matter. I'm afraid I really can't fall asleep with fear if we continue to talk."
"Okay."
Cornel nodded. When they laid on the bed, it was not Jacqueline who couldn't fall asleep, but Cornel!
On the other side, when Logan just drove back to the villa, he saw that the lights were all on. When he opened the door, he saw Zach was watching TV on the sofa with Sophia in his arms. He didn't notice their return at all.
