Elena Bush did not reply, but simply met his gaze wordlessly.
Silence was, at the moment, the best answer.
Edward Ford was so grief-stricken that he couldn’t deny it, let alone know what to say, he just shook his head helplessly.
“Elena, I can’t imagine that this is how I am in your heart …… Can you give me some credit? Even a tiny bit?”
Elena Bush clenched her lower lip, and her hands clenched into even more silent fists.
Edward Ford still shook his head, his mind knowing her answer all too well, “I understand ……”
He slowly walked back to her bed, his large hand taking hers and resting it against his chest as well, “Elena, I know you don’t trust me because you’re afraid I’ll do something to hurt you, right?”
“I ……”
Elena Bush tried violently to draw her hands back, but found that he was too strong to do so.
Edward Ford locked her eyes tightly, not letting her escape,”Elena, I swear to you that I will never hurt you again from now on, so try to accept me and don’t be afraid of me …… I won’t do anything to you, I just know you don’t want to see me so I’m just thinking of leaving to give you some privacy. ”
His words were so sincere that for a moment Elena Bush really believed them.
But then she quickly reacted, and her mind was filled with all the things he had done and said, all of them so vivid that she couldn’t forget them.
She shook her head off and quickly brought herself back to her senses.
“No……” she said, still shaking her head, “Edward Ford, how do you expect me to believe you?”
Edward Ford moved his lips to explain, but as the words came to his lips he suddenly found himself without any semblance of conviction, let alone any words.
“I’m sorry ……” he said, his eyes tinged with guilt as he lowered them.
Elena Bush hooked her lips and smiled, “I don’t need your sorry, if you really felt sorry you should have reunited us as a family instead of separating us, it was never what I wanted or what I chose ……”
She even looked forward to being with Logan Brown for the rest of her life, and her being able to stay by his side, and the baby, in peace ……
“Impossible!”
At the mention of it, Edward Ford once again refused without hesitation, he released her hand violently, determined not to compromise.
“Elena, I can promise you everything, but this is the only thing I can’t promise …… I don’t want to promise you either!”
She was supposed to stay by his side for the rest of her life, not going anywhere, not going anywhere!
“Heh!” Elena Bush’s eyes were full of sarcasm, “If that’s the case, what makes you expect me to believe you? You still haven’t changed a thing, let alone thought about changing!”
Tyrannical and determined from start to finish, not giving her half a choice, and in that case, don’t talk to her about making her believe him or anything like that!
“Elena!”
Edward Ford saw her disappointment once again and guilt rose in the bottom of his eyes.
The hands hanging at his sides tightened silently, and when he raised his eyes again, he was back to his usual decisive self, “I know that you would never believe it now, but time will tell ……”
“Prove how?” She asked with a sneer, “Edward Ford, you’re so confident, you think that time will make me forget everything, forget my love for Logan Brown and also forget my hatred for you!”
Impossible!
It was all a delusion on his part!
Edward Ford strained his neck and wouldn’t deny it, “It was all just a moment, you took it too much to heart and that’s why you can’t get over it, learn to let it go, and I can just pretend nothing happened about the baby and I’ll raise him right.”
“It’s my child, I’ll raise it myself!” Elena Bush instantly acted as if she had touched the scales, her whole body screaming against his words.
Edward Ford lifted his face and swept it away, quickly, withdrawing his gaze, “Argue with me again when you can get out of bed.””
“Edward Ford!”
She gritted her teeth in anger, while apparently Edward Ford still kept repeating the words, “Over time, feelings fade, and slowly you forget ……”
Elena Bush laughed out loud, tugging at the wound in a burst of pain that followed.
She fell back onto the bed staring deadly at the ceiling responding in a deep voice, “No, if in your eyes time will prove everything, then I will prove to you that time will only make me love him more and forget him even less!”
And he ……
She would never forgive for the rest of her life!
Edward Ford took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly, “That’s just your obsession.”
Heh ……
Elena Bush wanted to laugh, but couldn’t find the strength to argue with him any more.
But who could say who was obsessing?
He was clinging to Joanna Lake, who was dead, and so transferred all that resentment to her.
And she, too, was obsessing over Logan Brown, and the more he stopped her, the more she wouldn’t let go and wanted to go back to that man!
Edward Ford waved his hand, gesturing for auntie Julie to watch her, and left the ward once more. This time, Elena Bush did not call out to him, but simply turned her face to look coldly at auntie Julie.
There was no trace of a ripple in those eyes, and one could not help but feel a sense of trepidation.
Elena Bush tightened her brow, “auntie Julie, haven’t I seen you somewhere before?”
“Me?” auntie Julie flashed her surprise, then smiled, the ruined face smiling a little hard and awkwardly, “Miss Elena may have seen me in a sea of people, so she has some memory of me?”
“No way.” She denied it immediately.
She herself had only been to G City once before, to see Logan Brown’s mother, and at that time her mind had fallen so full on Logan Brown that she hadn’t bothered to pay attention to the next person.
“This ……”
Elena Bush’s words made auntie Julie stumble for a moment.
“Forget it.” Elena Bush shook her head off, thinking that maybe she was overthinking it.
At that, auntie Julie breathed a sigh of relief and tucked her in and said, “Miss Elena, right now you should get some rest and stop being angry with Mr. Ford, you’re the one who’s not well now and you’ll be the one who suffers in the end.”
Elena Bush tugged at the corner of her mouth and didn’t reply, just changed the subject, “Go on, tell the nurse to bring my baby over, I want to watch him.”
“That won’t do!” auntie Julie immediately refused, “You’re too weak to take care of the baby properly, it’s better to keep him in the nursery.”
Elena Bush narrowed her eyes, “I’m asking you to go, I’m not asking for your opinion!”
