“Elena!”
Edward Ford looked tense, “I really didn’t mean to hurt you, I just lost my mind for a moment ……”
“But your momentary loss of reason nearly got me killed!” Elena Bush reminded him, word for word.
She shook her head at him, “Edward Ford, you make me inexplicably afraid, more afraid to face it head on …… you know? I’ve never even been much afraid of a person, and you’re the first ……”
Since she was a child, she had never been afraid of Mason Bush’s strange love for her, she had never been afraid of Emma Bush’s hatred for her and her opposition to her, and she had never been afraid of the Browns, Jacqueline, Yolanda, Cornel Brown, everyone who hated her and wanted her to disappear from the world, but she?
When had she ever been afraid?
But not anymore, she was dealing with Edward Ford, who claimed to be her real father, but who was trying to destroy everything she had managed to build up ……
She was afraid, afraid that the love she had worked so hard to get, the home she had gotten, would really end up in his hands.
The woman’s words fell on Edward Ford’s ears, and every word was like a sharp blade plunging hard into his chest.
“Elena, you’re afraid of me?” He laughed, surprisingly more than he cried.
His own daughter had never been close to him, and now she even feared him and tried to avoid him, and he asked himself if he had failed so miserably in what he had done that he had made her so.
But Elena Bush always gave him one answer, “Logan Brown ……”
There will always be a Logan Brown between him and her, unable to get close to each other at all, let alone let each other understand each other ……
Edward Ford smiled bitterly with an endless sadness in his brow ……
“Elena, haven’t I done enough for you? Or is there something I haven’t done well enough that you still can’t accept me, or even hold a place for me in your heart at all!”
Edward Ford couldn’t understand, and he couldn’t figure it out.
He had done his best in everything, he had even given her all his feelings, he had given her everything, and all he got was her indifference.
Elena Bush looked away coldly, a flicker of helplessness in her eyes.
“Edward Ford, you don’t understand, let alone understand!”
“Why don’t I understand?”
Edward Ford pressed aggressively, determined to ask the question.
Elena Bush lifted her eyes to his, the cold colour in them following, “You understand?”
She asked, her voice a little cold and percolating.
Edward Ford nodded without hesitation, “Why wouldn’t I understand, Elena, it’s you who doesn’t understand, I’ve given you everything I have and you? You chose to ignore me from the beginning to the end!”
She was the one who had set him off again and again, making him lose control again and again.
Elena Bush clenched her lower lip and didn’t answer.
Edward Ford couldn’t care less about auntie Julie being there, he threw away his pride in front of Elena Bush at that moment.
He looked at her with a question, “Elena, tell me, what will it take for you to completely forget that man, and what will it take for me to make you feel comfortable staying with me?”
“No way!” Elena Bush shook off his hand without hesitation, she looked at him and shook her head and laughed, “Edward Ford, no way, not in this lifetime ……”
How could she push him away with her own hands when that was the only person she had ever cared about in her life?
Elena Bush covered her chest with unusual determination, “Edward Ford, here, he’s so entrenched in this place that there’s no way he’s going to leave, short of ripping my heart out!”
But he had seen the consequences of that forcible ripping out ……
The result was that she died in front of him!
Once again, Elena Bush’s firm and merciless words hit him like a heavy hammer in the chest, making it impossible for him to catch his breath.
“I understand ……” he replied, turning around as dumb as a puppet.
Elena Bush couldn’t help but tense up again at his appearance, “What are you trying to do!?”
Edward Ford didn’t answer, he just turned his attention to auntie Julie, “Take good care of her, don’t let her get irritated, and if anything happens to her I’ll have you buried!”
The last few words burst out of his teeth in such a shocking manner that no one dared to utter a word, only to lower his eyes in response.
“Edward Ford!” Elena Bush looked at his back as he was about to leave and made a conscious effort to get off the ground and go after him.
But before she could move, auntie Julie was quick to stop her and said without hesitation, “Miss Elena, you should be resting now.”
“Where’s he going? What does he want to do?” Elena Bush snapped her hand back and questioned sharply, her face hardening.
Edward Ford paused with one foot about to step out of the ward, “Elena, don’t worry, I won’t do anything bad.”
“But I don’t trust you!” She said in a cold voice, her face pale and white.
auntie Julie’s grip on her increased a few notches, hardening her and escorting her back to the bed.
Elena Bush glared at her, “Let go!”
“Miss Elena, if Mr Ford has promised you, it’s only natural that nothing will happen, don’t worry.” auntie Julie looked subdued, not the least bit worried.
But how could Elena Bush, who had learned from the past, be reassured? Most importantly, she simply could not trust Edward Ford as a person.
He had never told the truth and she didn’t know what to do. ……
As she thought this, the uneasiness in her heart grew more and more violent.
She clenched her teeth as every cell in her body resisted her, “If you dare stop me again, I won’t need Edward Ford to do anything to you, I’ll be the first to do it to you!”
The words of the little woman were laced with such a heavy threat that auntie Julie’s whole body shivered, she could even clearly sense that the little woman in front of her was no less of a threat than Edward Ford ……
“Elena!” Edward Ford went and came back, he was standing at the doorway looking at her, “Elena, I promise you I will never do anything to annoy you!”
“Is that right?”
“Yes!”
She sneered, full of doubt, “If so, what guarantee do you have? And what makes you think I’ll believe it?”
“Elena, is that who I am in your mind? Why am I not worthy of your half-hearted trust!” Edward Ford was a little annoyed, and his face, which was already gloomy, was even darker than usual.
