Mason Bush looked at her wary look and simply sat down cross-legged directly in front of her and said kindly, “Actually, you don’t have to be so wary of me, at least I won’t hurt you.”
“No really?” She looked at him with a smile on her face, full of harmlessness.
Mason Bush dodged her glance a little unnaturally before rejoining, “You can’t blame Emma for what happened to Logan Brown, and Emma suffered more than you could ever imagine after losing her leg.”
“So what? She was the one who tried to hurt people in the first place!”
Elena Bush’s tone was cold as she retorted all of his words, “Mason Bush, don’t you forget that I never wanted to provoke you in the first place!”
She had thought that the feud had been settled, but now she realised that the hate had never been less in Emma Bush’s heart.
It was as if she had been born with the belief that she would never choose to forgive once things came her way.
Mason Bush was speechless for a moment, his hand shaking unconsciously as he carried the dishes.
Elena Bush grinned coldly, “But now what? Why am I the one who ends up in the wrong?”
“I’m sorry ……” Mason Bush hung his head, “but that’s all I can do as a father.”
When Zach Stone came to him, he told him everything because he owed it to Elena Bush.
But little did he know that Emma Bush, who had gone mad, would hear it all and the hatred would grow again. He could not refuse Emma Bush, who was prostrate and begging by his leg.
In the end, he took the path.
Elena Bush listened to his sad words and realised that he had gone grey somehow, his back was not straight, and even …… his voice had become old and pathetic.
She pulled at the corners of her mouth with a grimace, “Mason Bush, you’re pathetic!”
Mason Bush laughed likewise, “Who says otherwise? But if that’s my destiny, I’m willing to do it.”
After all, he owed her a debt after all.
“Let’s eat.” Mason Bush gathered himself quickly and held his chopsticks to her lips.
Elena Bush remained expressionless and avoided it, “You don’t need to.”
“Elena ……”
Mason Bush’s voice lowered a few more notches, almost only audible to each other.
Elena Bush looked away, only to feel something suddenly shoved in her palm, her hand cuffed behind her back, her fingertips touching the shape of the cold object, like a key.
Noticing that it was perhaps the key to the handcuffs, she looked over at him in unconscious dismay, slightly confused as to what he was doing by such a move.
“Elena , I always knew it was Emma who did wrong, but I as a father could only fall with her, you are different, you can leave the hell we are in, so don’t give up!”
“You ……”
“Eat.” Mason Bush as if he didn’t see her surprised reaction at this point just whispered, “Where’s the stamina coming from if you don’t eat?”
“Why help me?”
“Who knows?” Mason Bush chuckled to himself.
It was indeed funny to say the least, he had obviously helped Emma Bush do something to hurt her, to hurt Logan Brown, and only now was he talking about helping her.
Elena Bush squeezed the keys in her hand and silently hid them in the side pocket of her trousers, looking for a moment to escape.
Not yet, she knew that Jacqueline had a gun on her person and that if she did anything rash, it would only get her killed.
One could see death very clearly when one didn’t want to get anyone involved, but once there was a glimmer of hope, one didn’t want to give up.
If she could escape, she wanted to get back to Logan Brown immediately, to know how he was hurt, how he was doing, and she wanted …… to let her know that she was safe.
After Mason Bush said, shaking his head and just urging her to get her meal out of the way first.
Perhaps because of the hope, the bowl of rice allowed her to finish it quickly and her strength returned a little.
By now, Jacqueline had already finished eating and looked at the empty bowl in front of her and snorted, “It seems that your feelings for Logan Brown are just like that, I originally thought that you would be tough and say that you wouldn’t eat, but it turned out that you were quite happy to eat.”
“Wouldn’t it kill you to not eat?” She had a harmless look on her face, “So at least I’ll have to be alive before you want to see me dead.”
“Tough talker!” Jacqueline lifted her foot and kicked her in the jaw, sending her already unsteady body straight backwards to the other side, her forehead hitting the cold floor and immediately bulging into a large bump.
“Elena Bush, I’m telling you, if you want to suffer less, say less and save yourself the trouble!”
Elena Bush propped herself up on the floor and got up against the wall nodding and smiling, “Thanks for the reminder.”
Jacqueline felt sick at the look on her face, “I wonder if this eccentric nature follows that deadbeat mother of yours, otherwise how could you be such a bitch and not die from all the tossing and turning!”
“What do you mean!?” At the sound of her mother’s name, Elena Bush’s eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened and were full of glare!
“What do you mean?” Jacqueline turned around again at her words, she bent down and examined her carefully for a moment, then it dawned on her, “Right, I forgot, you never seemed to know anything about Edward Ford and Joanna Lake, did you?”
“Jacqueline!”
Mason Bush looked at her chattering face and interrupted her as she was about to speak.
Jacqueline didn’t give it a second thought, she just looked at Elena Bush like she was a rat in the gutter, “Elena Bush, haven’t you always been curious? If you really want to know, it’s not impossible for me to tell you, just …… are you ready?”
“Jacqueline, shut the fuck up!” Mason Bush, seeing that he couldn’t stop her, snapped up to go and cover her mouth.
Unwillingly, Jacqueline had been prepared for this and immediately ducked the moment she saw him get up.
“What, Mason Bush, you’re not still in love with Joanna Lake, are you? Or are you still trying to protect Elena Bush from the truth, for fear she won’t be able to handle it?”
“None of your business!” Mason Bush’s voice sank, “Jacqueline, you better remember, I saved your life, if it wasn’t for me, you’d be dead and wouldn’t have had the chance to seek revenge on them, so whatever you do, don’t go too far!”
Jacqueline moved her lips and met his unhappy scowl which weakened at once.
She had to admit that they had been kind to her, and thinking of this, even though her heart was not willing to do so, she just stomped her foot and turned her back and walked away.
