Elena Bush’s starry eyes shone brightly, Jacqueline just looked at them and hated to reach out and gouge those eyes out, her whole body was shaking with anger, “Even so, it shouldn’t have been her!”
“No, it’s no one else but her.”
“Why!?”
Jacqueline kept asking, but Elena Bush laughed even more, whether it was sarcasm or something else, “I’m afraid there’s no one in the world who hates me more than she does?”
“How can that be! You have so many enemies ……”
“Haters?” Elena Bush bristled, “I don’t know where you got this information from, but you’re the only enemies I know.”
For the first half of her life, she had been bullied by Emma Bush, and then she had met Logan Brown and seen thoroughly how heartless and indifferent the Bush was to her, so she had learned to refuse and to resist.
She learns to resist and to fight back, but her resistance is only met with Emma Bush’s resentment.
She had never felt this way before, but now, after a long time, she thinks that the first half of her life was wasted, but then she thinks that if Emma Bush hadn’t set her up, how would she have met Logan Brown?
Life was always so contradictory, with all its advantages and disadvantages, so she learned to let it go.
Except that Emma Bush never let go of her hatred ……
Jacqueline turned red and plucked a fierce look at her, “If you hadn’t driven Yolanda to her death, I wouldn’t have thought of getting back at you!”
If Yolanda hadn’t died, she would have been able to accept the death sentence with a thought even before she died, but Yolanda died without leaving her with a thought ……
Jacqueline could not contain her hatred at the mention of it and looked at her with a look that would have eaten her alive!
“Elena Bush, remember, you owe me your life, I’m just trying to get it back, I did what was right!”
Righteous?
Elena Bush wanted to laugh, but couldn’t, no one knew whether Yolanda’s death was to be lamented or whose fault it was.
It was just that if she didn’t even have the courage to live, then no one could save her or keep her alive; in the end, the path was always her own, and no one could force her to make any choice.
“What are you smiling at?” Jacqueline felt a pang of disgust at the look on her face.
At that, the latter’s smile deepened, “I’m laughing at your naivety.”
“What did you say!?”
“Am I wrong, Yolanda is dead, but your life is still alive, you could have lived the rest of your life in peace, but you have to remember the hatred, never let her go, and never let yourself go, don’t you think you are tired of living like this?”
“Who are you to say anything about me? You want me not to hate, but what about you! Wasn’t that hatred for Edward Ford?”
Jacqueline returned all the mockery she had given her, “Don’t try to deny it, I know better than anyone what’s in your mind, and I’ve seen everything you’ve done to Edward Ford!”
“I don’t hate.” Her tone was flat, without the slightest ripple, and for a moment she almost doubted her own judgement.
Elena Bush shook her head, “I never wanted to hate, no, rather than hate, I wanted more to be relieved ……”
She resisted Edward Ford not because it was hate, but simply because she was unwilling to let her guard down.
Edward Ford also frightened her invisibly, making it impossible for her to accept his kindness in good faith, always feeling that something was intended.
However, this was something that she just kept to herself.
Jacqueline was unaware of her feelings and just listened to her words as if they were in jest.
“Come on, I don’t want to waste time talking to you, just stay here for now and I’ll come back to see you when the time comes.”
With that, she took a handcuff out of nowhere and handcuffed her wrists, then removed the ropes that bound her and placed some food at her side, “This is your ration for the day, save it or don’t blame me for not feeding you if you get hungry!”
Elena Bush took a look, what she was talking about was a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread, food for the day, did she treat her like a rabbit?
As if reading what she had in mind Jacqueline smiled coldly, “Some food for you would be nice, otherwise there wouldn’t even be any bread!”
“OK,” she said, raising one hand in a gesture of surrender.
Jacqueline was satisfied, but before she left she warned her, “Save your strength, it’s the middle of nowhere, no matter what you scream, no one will hear you, and you can’t get away now.”
“I know.” Elena Bush smiled back at her innocently, “So you’re advising me not to waste my energy, right?”
The latter laughed, didn’t reply and walked straight away.
The lights and doors were shut and the room was once again plunged into darkness.
Elena Bush leaned against the wall, in the darkness where no one could see her, finally shed of all her defences, heartbreakingly alone ……
Logan Brown woke up in the middle of a nightmare, with a baby wailing away, leaving him momentarily disoriented.
“Aaaah! Shit shit shit!”
Jeff chanted as he sharply pushed open the door and couldn’t help but snort out a laugh at Logan Brown’s clumsy hold on the baby.
“……”
Logan Brown turned his face to glare at him and calmly adjusted his hold on the baby, but the baby was still making a fuss.
“This ……”
Logan Brown’s mouth twitched with a look of embarrassment, “What am I supposed to do?”
“Ahem!” Jeff nearly failed to hold back another one, luckily in time to quickly adjust his mind at the man’s murderous stare, “The baby …… probably pooped, so ……”
“Pooped?”
Logan Brown looked bewildered.
Jeff wiped his face and turned to rummage around the house for a moment, quickly locating the nappy and clearing his throat, “Shall I change the baby’s nappy?”
Seeing this, the man understood.
“No need.” He said softly, “You talk on the side, I’ll do it.”
Jeff’s jaw dropped, almost thinking he had heard wrong, but when he looked, he saw that he had already started moving, and the image was surprisingly somewhat skilful ……
Logan Brown undid the baby’s nappy and removed it half a dozen times without hearing a movement, then glancing at him his tone sank with him, “What are you still doing, what’s next, tell me step by step.”
“Ah! Yes!”
Jeff immediately instructed him, and Logan Brown was smart enough to understand just by listening, his bony hands didn’t stop for a moment, and within minutes he had changed the baby’s nappy, and the baby, who had been crying, had quieted down, his little face soothed.
Logan Brown took one look at the baby and, exasperated and annoyed, carefully took the baby in his arms and said unhappily, “Brat!”
Even so, Jeff could clearly see the tenderness on his face at the moment ……
