Cornel Brown clenched his palms and said, with a trembling voice, “Then …… can I see him?”
“You can go if you want, we’re always outsiders, and I’ve said what I need to say, and it’s up to you whether you want to reflect on it or not.” Zach Stone said with a rare serious face.
Jeff was exasperated by his recklessness, but there was no denying that what he said made it impossible to find the slightest fault.
Cornel Brown took a deep breath and went up and knocked on the door of the ward.
None of the men knew exactly what Cornel Brown had said in the ward, only that he had left with a downcast look on his face.
When Jacob entered with the child, Logan Brown’s eyes immediately opened, apparently still awake.
“Sir ……”
Jacob moved gently to place the still sleeping baby on his side, and Logan Brown looked at the tiny mass and his heart was inexplicably soothed and soft.
He looked up, glanced at Jacob , only to see the dark circles under his eyes, “You’ve worked hard.”
“It’s nothing.” Jacob shook his head immediately, “In the end, it was my negligence when Mason Bush sent the threatening package to Madame and that’s why Madame and Monsieur were subjected to all this, if only I had found out sooner ……”
“But there are no ifs.” The man’s gaze burned, “According to you, if I could have done anything to protect her from me she would have been more than that.”
Jacob looked terrified and couldn’t wait to shake his head in denial, “No, sir and I are different ……”
“Shh, keep it down, it’s making noisy.” The man whispered.
Jacob glanced at the young master and wordlessly bowed his head.
Logan Brown spoke slowly, “Some things happen and no one can be blamed for them, not to mention the most important reason why I failed to do what I could to give her peace of mind.”
“Sir ……” Jacob looked at the man in the hospital bed, but saw his usual cold expression tinged with a little sadness.
He shrugged his head and felt a little guilty, “Sir, it’s not really about you.”
Logan Brown turned his head and laughed softly before saying, “Are you wondering why Cornel Brown was turned away when I’m not to blame for anyone?”
Jacob didn’t answer, and silence would have been the best answer.
“With Cornel Brown, it has nothing to do with whether or not I hold a grudge against him. I used to hate him for ignoring my mother and for turning a blind eye to me. Later I hated him for putting his heart into Jacqueline, even though he knew that his mother was killed by Jacqueline’s own hand …… but only now do I realise that some people can never see you and don’t care about your hate.”
So instead of continuing to hate, it’s better to live a life that is easier on you and less hateful.
Jacob understood something vaguely, and he hung his eyes for a long time without speaking.
Logan Brown’s hand fell gently on the child’s delicate face, “I always thought his presence would distract me and I wouldn’t be able to care for him, but now it seems that he can calm me down when my mind is in turmoil.”
Jacob looked at the scene before him with a pang of emotion.
He had been fatherless since he was a child and could not feel all this, nor did he know what he was feeling, but when his eyes met his, it was as if he could clearly feel the tenderness of the man.
Half a second before Logan Brown suddenly spoke, “Where’s Edward Ford?”
“He ……” Jacob hesitated, as if he didn’t know how to speak.
The man wrinkled his brow, “What?”
“He seemed to disappear when he saw you being delivered here, only then with a look I could see, that seemed …… to be hesitant.”
“Hesitation?”
Logan Brown’s furrowed brow deepened, not understanding what the reason for it was.
Jacob nodded, “He hasn’t contacted me since, so …… I don’t know how to reach him, and as far as his assistant has been taking care of things up and down at the office, I’ve been staying here.”
After saying that, he couldn’t help but look at Logan Brown a few more times, a little uneasy, “Does Edward Ford know something and that’s why he’s specifically keeping it from us?”
“Let’s find the man first.” His voice was soft and he was obviously a little tired.
Seeing this, Jacob could not continue to interrupt, he just nodded, “Then you rest first, I’ll go and arrange a car back to H City, then we’ll decide afterwards.”
“Hmm.”
Logan Brown answered, his voice soft and almost only audible to himself.
The big, broad hand fell on the child’s body, so small and adorable that it could almost have been easily wrapped in one big hand.
Jacob’s heart was filled with emotion, but in the end he backed away.
When he got into the car, the child was exceptionally well-behaved and slept extraordinarily well in Logan Brown’s arms. Jacob couldn’t help but speak up as he watched him struggle a bit to hold the baby, “Sir, why don’t you let me hold the young master?”
“No need.” Logan Brown shook his head, “What’s the difference between me and a cripple if I can’t even carry a baby?”
Again, it was the leg that was injured and it didn’t get in the way.
Jacob listened, and there was nothing he could do about it, so he agreed.
Zach Stone sat beside him and whispered about the recent developments in H City, “I checked a few surveillance cameras after H City got off the highway and found that the direction they left was indeed Yolanda’s grave.”
That location was originally arranged to be remote in the first place, and now it was really hard to find if you went that way.
As he said that, Zach Stone suddenly couldn’t figure out one thing, “But there’s another problem, sister-in-law had been receiving threatening packages from Mason Bush earlier, what was the point of him doing that specifically?”
Did he want to make a point of saying so before he did it?
They were busy with Edward Ford and had no time to spare, but if it hadn’t happened to be Edward Ford, they would have found out about them and could have found them all before they did!
But even if they had, why had they sent the package to the villa?
Logan Brown pondered for a moment, again unable to give an answer.
Zach Stone was particularly insistent on this point, and was determined to get to the bottom of it.
But when he thought about it, there was no advantage or disadvantage to it, so it was hard to understand.
Jeff swept a glance at him in the back of the car and kindly reminded him, “One more thing is better than none. The most important thing should be to find a few of them before you do, right?”
“That’s true too ……”
But Zach Stone still can’t help but secretly compare himself, the more he fights, the more depressed he is, for a long time, in the end, he shrugged his head down, a deflated look.
