Ogden was frightened by Logan and lost all his strength. Only after Logan left did he recover slowly. He was on his knees, breathing so hard to feel alive again. His dad kicked him without mercy and said, “Find out Aria. Or I don’t care whether you will die or not!”
Ogden knew his dad meant it. He was actually doomed to die.
Logan went out and saw Charlie leaning on the car and waiting for him.
“I owe you this time.”
“Not really. I just returned the favor since you attended my party earlier.”
Charlie received a phone call from Coral and knew Elena was taken away. He sensed something was wrong and told Logan at once. When he arrived, Logan was already here.
“Well, thanks for coming anyway.” Logan said.
Charlie accepted it and said, “Don’t worry. I will send the surveillance video to Jacob later.”
Logan nodded to agree.
Then Charlie got into his car and said, “I’m leaving now. Please tell Elena and Sophia to stay at home and have a good rest. They will have a one-week holiday.”
After Charlie vanished, Jacob came and reported, “Sir, I sent Sophia to the villa. The doctor is waiting for her there. But madam is unwilling to leave alone and waiting for you in the car.”
When he got into the car, a hand under the suit reached out and held his arm. He held her back and asked gently, “Still frightened?”
Elena removed the suit and showed her small face. Her eyes were still red and fixed on him pitifully. “I was frightened at first, but then I wasn't because I knew you were here.”
She knew he could always protect her from any danger.
“How did you get my location?” said Elena, leaning on him even closer to feel his warmth.
“Charlie told me. He said you might be in danger.”
Elena felt sorry and lowered her head. “I broke my words again. Sorry.”
She had promised to him that she wouldn’t put herself in such a dangerous situation. However, she couldn’t protect herself from any risk. She should have been more careful before leaving with them! What was more, she even put Sophia in danger.
Hearing her genuine apology, Logan could scarcely blame her, and the anger inside his body was fading away.
“I don’t expect you will be safe all the time. So, I made a decision. I will try my utmost to keep you safe, no matter you want it or not.”
He said slowly and determinedly, which moved her so much. She tried to raise her head to look at him but was held even more tightly by him.
Jacob was driving the car and giving a look at them in the mirror. He was surprised to see Logan’s ears turning red because of shyness.
…
Back to the villa, Sophia woke up and had recovered. Seeing them coming back safely, Sophia burst into crying. “Thank God, you are OK. Or I have no idea what to do.”
