As soon as the words left his mouth, Edward Ford’s sharp gaze followed instantly, “Who told you I agreed?”
To get Elena Bush off his back?
Dream on!
The butler was confused at this point, “Then if not, Miss Elena ……”
“It’s enough for them to know the other is alive, as for being together?” Edward Ford grinned, “They can’t be together as long as I’m around in this life!”
The butler’s mind was shaken and his eyes couldn’t hide his amazement.
Soon Edward Ford’s mind was no longer on him, but on the emergency room.
In the emergency room, the doctor looked at Elena Bush’s condition and felt anxious. The most important thing for a pregnant woman is to stay conscious, but she was clearly not waking up and her face was full of pain, leaving everyone in the operating theatre at a loss.
“Ah!”
A scream brought Elena Bush to her senses instantly.
Her eyes were muddled and it took the heavy smell of alcohol in the air for her to vaguely discern that she was in a hospital.
“The pregnant woman is awake!” A nurse cried out in delight and the next second pounced on her, “Mother-to-be please stay awake now, your life and the life of your baby are all on your shoulders do you understand?”
She ……
Her baby?
Elena Bush’s heavy eyelids forced themselves up again and she clenched her lower lip, the taste of blood heavy between her lips and teeth, and the slight pain brought her back to her senses slightly.
Her hands flailed about in mid-air in confusion as one of the nurses clasped her hand in the same way.
She smiled, “Can I and my baby stay?”
The doctor’s voice came, “Of course, as long as you have faith, we’ll do our best!”
He leaned into her ear and said word for word, “Right now you’re in a dangerous situation and even bleeding profusely, I can’t give you any guarantees but I’m sure as a mother you’ll hold on anyway right?”
“Please …… please ……”
Elena Bush was bewildered and helpless at this point, her grip on the nurse’s hand tightening silently along with her as if she was using all her strength.
“Save my baby …… surely, make sure he is born safely …… ……”
“We need your cooperation.” The doctor did his best to calm her down, “Now breathe deeply and adjust your breathing rate ……”
Elena Bush blinked blankly, she wanted to push too, but she couldn’t muster the strength to do so at this point, her consciousness lapsed again, her ears kept hearing the doctor’s and nurse’s encouragement, only it drifted further and further away no matter what ……
“Elena!”
The man’s low voice suddenly rang out, clearing her muddled eyes for a few moments.
“Elena, don’t be afraid ……”
Logan?
Logan Brown ……
“Protect yourself and the baby, leave the rest to me, I’ll get you back fair and square, wait for me ……”
Logan Brown’s words kept swirling in her ears, like a spell at this very moment, and she tried desperately to keep herself awake and not drift off to sleep.
The pains that kept coming from her stomach were also reminding her that she couldn’t sleep, she couldn’t …… She still had the baby, the baby was waiting for her and Logan Brown was waiting for her ……
“Sir.”
Jacob pushed open the door to Logan Brown’s bedroom, not caring about the inappropriateness of the moment, the man in the bed had only just fallen asleep and the commotion woke him up instantly.
The man’s eyes sat up with a harsh shock, completely lacking any semblance of the weariness that comes with being disturbed and woken up after a deep sleep; just looking closely, one could clearly see his exhaustion.
Logan Brown rubbed his brow, “What’s wrong?”
He had just had a nightmare and was not looking too good at the moment, but Jacob came in just in time to save him from his dream.
“Something’s wrong!” Jacob’s words were followed by a drop of cold sweat, “I had someone stay at the entrance to the Fords after Mr Scott left the Fords, but I didn’t expect an ambulance to come into the Fords soon after, and the man at the Fords said… … that the person being taken to the ambulance was a pregnant woman!”
The words had only just fallen out of his mouth when the man quickly jumped from the bed onto the floor to stand in front of him, his face as cold as frost, “When did this happen and why didn’t you tell me sooner!?”
“Sorry, I hadn’t confirmed it earlier, plus Edward Ford was quick to cover up all the commotion, it took me some work to ……”
“Where is everyone?”
Logan Brown couldn’t care less at this point, his feet rushed out, “Which hospital did they go to, arrange a car immediately, I’m coming over now!”
“No!” Jacob stepped in front of him without even thinking.
The man narrowed his eyes dangerously, a flash of pout, “You’re going to stop me?”
“I’m sorry sir.” Jacob clasped his arm and applied slight force under his hand, “I know you’re worried about Madame, but I can’t let you put your life at risk right now, plus Edward Ford has the news under lock and key, if he finds out you know ……”
“What’s that got to do with me!” Logan Brown’s hands turned, easily dissolving his restraint, and in the next instant he too had him pinned against the wall with a cold rebuke, “Jacob, there’s my lover in the hospital, there’s my child, are you going to make me choose to stand by and do nothing!”
If he could do that, then he would rather just die!
He couldn’t do it, he simply couldn’t do it!!!
The man’s eyes were fishy red by now and Jacob held back the pain coming from his arm as he gritted his teeth and reminded him, “Sir, if we go now our efforts will be in vain, and …… even if we go there it won’t make any difference will it?”
They were not doctors, and even if they went they would only be watching from afar, they could not do anything at all.
That situation was too powerless, and he could clearly see the pain in Logan Brown’s heart just by thinking about it for a moment.
That was why he wouldn’t let him go, he didn’t want Logan Brown to be devastated by this, and he didn’t want to see the pain on his face ……
Logan Brown took a few slow steps back and snapped to attention.
He looked down at his hands and for the first time hated himself for not being a healer.
Jacob got a deep breath of relief, “Sir, I understand how you feel, but I’d just as soon you calm down and think about what we can actually do to keep Madame safe.”
He needed composure, not self-inflicted chaos!
The man locked his brow, a cold light passing under his eyes, and at the end, as if he had thought of something, his eyes followed with instant determination.
He lightly opened his thin lips, “Go, get Jeff here, I need him now!”
