With the dream still swirling in her head, she unconsciously called out his name and held him tighter, “Logan Brown ……”
Logan Brown smoothed her back, banishing the fear for her, his big hands patting over and over again, and his whispered words in her ears.
Elena Bush tightened her grip on his hand and couldn’t stop trembling, “I …… I dreamt about Joanna Lake and ……”
“Don’t be afraid.”
Logan Brown interrupted her, “It’s just a dream, don’t think about it, I’m here, I’ve always been here.”
Elena Bush’s forehead broke into a thin layer of sweat and her trembling body stopped for a moment before Logan Brown realised something was wrong and looked down at the person in his arms.
Her face was as pale as paper and even her lips seemed to be trembling with cold.
He heart hung in mid-air as if she had been struck by a death sentence, “Elena, what’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
Elena Bush clenched her teeth and used almost all her strength to squeeze out a sentence, “My belly …… hurts ……”
At that, Logan Brown lifted the blanket and in the next second he had her in his arms, “I’ll take you to the hospital, just hold on, it’ll be quick, trust me!”
Elena Bush held his hand tightly and nodded heavily, “Yes.”
Inside the hospital, Elena Bush was taken straight to the emergency room and wheeled out after an hour or so, already unconscious and sweaty as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
Jeff took off his mask as soon as he could, “I’ve just checked her health, Elena Bush is fine, just a bit of shock so the baby is a bit uncomfortable, plus she’s about to go into labour so she’s under a lot of psychological stress.”
Logan Brown nodded, the coldness in his body only fading a little.
He squeezed his palms and said in a hushed voice, “She had a nightmare at night where …… she was shouting Joanna Lake and woke up scared.”
Jeff was silent for a moment, “Did she see something during the day? Why else would Joanna Lake be mentioned for a good reason?”
“I don’t know, she didn’t say anything.” Logan Brown patted him on the shoulder and stopped bringing it up, “I’ll ask around, it’s late, it’s been hard on you.”
“No harm, one more emergency patient and I’ll make a little extra money here with you.” Jeff smiled bitchily.
Logan Brown just gave him a cold look that knocked all the smiles right back off his face.
Jeff grumbled as he followed him, “I mean, you can’t do that, I just got out of an operation and you’re sending people over here, and I have to arrange for a doctor and nurse.
Logan Brown stopped dead in his tracks, “If you don’t want to get killed, keep following!”
“No …… what’s wrong with me following?” Jeff became even more defiant, “Well at least I’m ……”
Logan Brown looked him up and down, and then looked at Elena Bush lying on the bed in the ward and spoke in a cold voice, “I need to give her a rub down, order the nurse to bring a basin of hot water over here, and also, you go and prepare a set of clean clothes for me to send in with the nurse!”
With that, he was ruthlessly thrown out of the room with a shove of his hand.
Jeff stood dumbfounded outside the door for a moment before he realised why Logan Brown didn’t want him to follow him.
Oh my God! He’d almost followed him in and watched Logan Brown scrubbing Elena Bush’s body, and if he’d seen him, Logan Brown would have blinded him!
He shuddered at the thought, but on second thought, Logan Brown wouldn’t have given him a chance to stay in the ward, so he was relieved.
In his heart, he said with folded hands, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. ……”
Only after reciting it for the hundredth time was all the pressure dispelled, and then he went to find a nurse to explain all the things that Logan Brown had just told him to do before he went to his office.
Inside the ward
The little nurse was reminded several times by Jeff to make sure not to angry the man inside so she came in with hot water and clothes, fearing that she might have done something wrong.
Unexpectedly, the man who had been sitting quietly in front of the hospital bed seemed to notice her coming in and immediately turned around to take the hot water and put it on the bedside table, while the clothes were also taken away.
A magnetic voice rang out overhead, “Thank you, you can go out now!”
The nurse was stunned, and only then did she wake up, her heart beating like a dream as she left the room.
As she walked out of the ward, she thought of Logan Brown’s face and couldn’t help but fawn over it for a while before leaving with regret. It’s a pity that even the best men have wives ……
Logan Brown untied Elena Bush’s loungewear before wetting a towel and wiping away the cold sweat that had broken out all over her body, and then changed her into clean clothes, which also made her dry and comfortable.
Elena Bush seemed to be having nightmares all the time, her brow was always locked, and no matter what he said or how he tried to soothe it, it kept him awake all night.
The next day, the early morning sunlight poured in, which only made Elena Bush’s frown move deeper, followed by the next second, and one could not help but follow suit.
She opened her eyes slowly, her dazed gaze falling around her, only at the end of the day did she vaguely realise what had happened to her.
In front of the bed, the man, perhaps tired, lay on his back, but his large hand remained clasped to hers, their fingers interlocked, causing the corners of her lips to slowly lift into a light smile.
The other free hand slowly lifted and carefully brushed his brow ……
Before she could go lower, the man’s sharp eyes snapped open and soon, his large hand also snapped into place again as he raised his eyes and smiled, looking at her good-naturedly, “Want to do something bad?”
Elena Bush was startled and shook her head, “No, no!”
“No?”
“Mmmmmmmmmm!”
Logan Brown was already unconvinced and looked down at the hand he had clasped that had just brushed his brow, the smile in his eyes deepened a little, “Then who was trying to take advantage of me secretly while I was asleep?”
“Who …… took advantage of you!”
Elena Bush turned red and sulked in her defence, “I just saw a bit of dirt on your eyebrows so I thought I’d slap it off for you, don’t think too much about it.”
Logan Brown narrowed his eyes and watched her shy face as his eyebrows unconsciously relaxed.
Elena Bush met his gaze and froze for a moment.
