“I’m calling them to get the surveillance video right now.” Charlie responded immediately.
However, Elena was too weak to stop him. Sophia said with cheer, “Great! Once Aria is punished, we won’t need to bear her anymore.”
“It will be in vain.” Logan said.
“Why?” Sophia asked.
Elena knew very well that Aria prepared everything before beating her and could get away with it easily. “The video can only prove she entered and left the washroom. What’s more, the sign was put by her there. But they can say they just did it for fun.”
They could find thousands of excuses to deny what they did. Yes, Elena was locked inside the washroom and wet all over. But they wouldn’t admit they did it. They could say they entered the washroom and happened to the last ones to leave.
The excitement in Sophia’s eyes disappeared at once. She said worriedly, “Then what should we do next?”
“Let me handle it.” Logan said in a deep voice, “She must pay for what she’s done to you.”
Elena felt so warm about what he said, “I didn’t expect it this time. I promise it won’t happen next time.”
Logan’s voice was even colder, “You mean there is ‘next time’?”
“No, no!” Elena waved her hands hurriedly. She looked into his eyes and said determinedly, “I promise you. There is no ‘next time’. So let me handle it myself, OK?” She said in a soft voice, like coaxing a child.
Logan was going to refuse her. But she blinked her innocent eyes and insisted. He could do nothing but compromise. She told him before that she wanted to rely on him to get revenge. But now she didn’t want his help.
“Alright.” He finally agreed with her.
Meanwhile, Charlie finished his phone call and came back. While Sophia was astonished by the intimate relationship between Logan and Elena.
Charlie tried to wake Sophia up, “Why are you looking like this?”
Pointing to Logan and then Elena, she stammered, “What…What’s the relationship between them?”
Charlie looked at her like a fool, “Can’t you see it?”
“Yes, I can…” Sophia was going to cry, “But I dare not confirm it!”
He was her idol, the perfect man for all women! What if she misunderstood? How could she ever explain later?
Logan nodded and explained, “This is my wife, Elena. Thanks for taking care of my wife.”
Wife?
Sophia couldn’t believe it! Elena, her colleague, was her idol’s wife? Why did she know this so late? So, did Elena tell him about her craziness and obsession about him? Oh, god! That was so embarrassing!
Elena seemed to read her mind and said with a smile, “Relax, I didn’t tell anything.”
“Really?” Sophia said in an uplifting tone. She was so happy to know that her idol knew nothing about her craziness.
Charlie said to Elena, “Since you are fine, Sophia and I should leave now. “
Elena said gratefully, “Thank you so much! And sorry to trouble you guys.”
If they didn’t save her, she didn’t know how long she would have to stay in the washroom. Back then, the feeling of death was sprawling around her, too terrible to think back.
Later Elena determined to leave the hospital and return home. Logan couldn’t change her mind and had to accept.
Mia was nearly scared to death after knowing what happened to Elena. She said angrily, “They’ve gone too far! How can they do that? We are living in the law-based society! How dare they think that they can get away without punishment!”
