“Dad ……”
Elena broke free of Logan’s hand to go and pluck the crowd, “Dad, get up, it’s okay.”
“Jacqueline, Jacqueline ……”
Cornel murmured as Elena patted his face and looked somewhat helplessly at the man behind him.
Logan stepped forward and straightened him up and shoved him into the car, “Jacob, you take him back to the Browns, I’ll handle this side myself, and also, notify the salvage team ……”
“Yes!”
Elena looked at the far away vehicle, the heart of the worry how can not be dispersed, “Dad so all right? I always feel a little uneasy ……”
“Yes, back at the Browns, Grandpa George will keep an eye on him.” At least it’s better than him staying here.
Jacqueline had jumped right in front of him in the end, and staying on would only add to his own emotional breakdown.
Elena nodded, the crowd on the bridge had gradually dispersed, the river was calm again, Jacqueline was also missing, she slightly squeezed her hand, “So what do we do now?”
“We can only wait for news from the salvage team.” Logan wordlessly tightened his grip on her hand.
Elena took a deep breath, feeling only a little heavy in the head.
The Browns, one after another, in just a few days, lost two people in a row, even if her heart had no emotion for these two, but in the end still feel a little powerless to fight.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, the Browns have got the news, Cornel because the stimulation is too much, finally or with the help of sedatives to quiet down.
George’s voice also seems to have aged a dozen years in general, Elena some dare not listen to continue, straight to push the phone to Logan.
Logan took it, his voice indifferent, “Grandpa George.”
“How is it now? Any news?” George’s slow voice drilled into his eardrums.
“No.” Logan shook his head, looking at the salvage team with boats and lights on the river, his heart could not rise a thought.
George again a long sigh, “Life! This is all life ……”
“Grandpa George don’t have to say that.” Logan was a little worried about his body.
George laughed bitterly a few times, “Forget it, anyway, are going to die, just go away…… but also put an end to things……”
The dead is good, dead is good, dead, so Cornel will not have to miss every day.
Logan holding the phone’s bones slightly white, “Grandpa George you also have a good rest, when there is news, I will contact you, the other do not need to worry about.”
“Hmm.”
George nodded and hung up the phone with sluggish movements.
Elena looked up slightly into his dark pupils, “Is Grandpa George okay?”
“Nothing serious, and it seems that he has been prepared for this for a long time.” Logan patted the top of her head, “It’s late, why don’t I ask Jacob to take you back first.”
“No!”
Elena shook her head obstinately, as if she was afraid he would kick her out, and immediately clung to his arm, “I’m not going, you’re staying here, and so am I!”
“You’re still carrying a baby, don’t be capricious.”
“I’m not.”
The small body leaned close to him, Elena skimmed her lips, “I know the measure, so I will not catch a cold.”
The night breeze blew, a little cool, Elena could not help but shiver.
Logan looked down at her, but in the end, he couldn’t resist her, so he picked her up by the waist and headed for the car.
Elena was scared out of her wits, and her legs kept stirring, “No, I’m not going, I have to stay with you!”
“I’ll go back with you.” The man said coldly, and as he spoke, he had put her in the back seat and sat in next.
Elena blinked her eyes, “What about here?”
“There is no what to do, stay here we will not be of any help, it is better to go back.” Besides, he couldn’t let her get cold here.
Elena let out an oh and immediately fell silent.
Logan turned his head and saw Elena’s head leaning against the car window with her eyes drooping.
Logan wordlessly picked up her slender body and pressed her little head into his lap, “Get some sleep, I’ll call you when we get there.”
“Mmm …… hmm.” Elena nodded in a daze, “Then you must remember to call me.”
“Okay.”
The big hand caressed her cheek, Elena felt the thin calluses on his fingers, and in a short while she fell asleep.
On the way back, after passing through a speed bump, Elena was shaken and woke up immediately, her eyes red like a rabbit without enough sleep.
Logan immediately patted her back and coaxed, “It’s okay, sleep a little longer.”
“No.” Elena leaned on his shoulder and shook her head, “Sleep later when we get there.”
The man didn’t answer, but just silently hugged her body tighter.
Elena pursed her lips and couldn’t help but worry again, “There was a lot of talk about Yolanda’s suicide before, and now Jacqueline has jumped into the river too, will it be …… too by then.”
“It won’t.” He shook his head.
Elena hung her head low and didn’t say anything.
Logan cupped her face, and his thin, cool lips planted a kiss on her cheek, “The previous Yolanda incident could have been suppressed, but only because he wanted the Lees to come forward, so he let the matter fester, so don’t worry this time, I’ll ask Jacob to keep the news under wraps.”
Furthermore, there is no one to see with their own eyes jumping is Jacqueline, if you want to do news with this, the possibility of this matter, but also some difficulty.
“That’s good ……” sniffed Elena, she could clearly hear the sound of the stone falling to the ground in her heart.
Logan nodded.
In the silence, the two had returned to the villa.
It was only when Grandma Becky’s uneasy phone call came that the two remembered they had forgotten to contact her, and it had happened so suddenly that no one had thought of it.
Listening to Becky’s worried words, Elena couldn’t say that she blamed herself, “Sorry Grandma Becky, we gave busy forget ……”
She looked at the time, it was already 2:00 a. m., the old man was still awake so late, and I don’t know how long he waited before he called.
Becky is nothing, just to confirm the safety, is considered a lot of peace of mind, “nothing, nothing is good, then you guys hurry up and go to rest, and so on a few more days, you are empty and then come over.”
“Okay.” Elena nodded her head, “Then Grandma Becky, you also rest quickly.”
Becky hung up the phone with a smile on her face and didn’t ask what was going on, but her understanding demeanor made Elena’s heart burn.
Logan looked at the dazed little person and grabbed her up and shoved her into the bathroom, “Dear Mrs. Browns, it’s late, you should wash up and go to bed too!”
