“Elena!” Edward Ford shouted, subconsciously rushing forward, only to be stopped cold by Mason Bush, whose hands were strong, not at all like the strength the hunched figure was exerting at the moment.
“”Don’t walk away from me, or Elena will be completely hopeless!” Mason Bush lowered his voice and whispered in his ear.
Edward Ford looked at him in disbelief, obviously unaware that the words were coming out of his mouth.
He wanted to question it, but he was indeed right.
He was now in control of Mason Bush, and he was in control of Emma Bush, leaving Jacqueline with a clear intention to cooperate, but not to be trusted ……
Jacqueline immediately panicked, she could never have imagined Elena Bush would be so rigid, let alone know when she had hidden a piece of glass on her body.
Perhaps …… she had picked it up unintentionally when the two were in the clearing last night.
Perhaps, it was an oversight on her part somewhere, but whatever the case, she had to save her life first if she was to gain any advantage!
Even so, she didn’t dare drop the pistol in her hand, she just shouted at Edward Ford in panic and helplessness, “What are you still doing, don’t you want your daughter!?”
Mason Bush’s clasped hands were applying force to him too!
The heavy smell of blood between his nostrils was so strong that Edward Ford’s nerves were so strong that he couldn’t think of anything else and shook his hand off, “Save her first!”
Mason Bush gritted his teeth and prayed that Jacqueline would not back out at this point.
Edward Ford stepped forward and ripped open his shirt and tied her wrists in a deadlock, then seeing the still handcuffed hands he snapped, “Where are the keys!”
The snarl was almost like that of a wild animal.
Jacqueline’s heart stuttered and she hesitated for a moment before taking out the keys, since Elena Bush couldn’t die at this time anyway.
Jacqueline thought, but then turned to look and saw that Mason Bush had somehow managed to get Emma Bush into a wheelchair and was about to leave before she noticed.
“Bang!”
The sound of the gunshot pierced everyone’s eardrums!
Emma Bush screamed in fear and Mason Bush subconsciously shielded her in his arms.
Jacqueline grunted coldly, “What, want to get away?”
Mason Bush’s heart stuttered and he turned only to see the gun aimed at him and a bullet casing dropped in front of him ……
“No, I was just trying to help my daughter up ……” he said with a sarcastic smile as he wiped the sweat that kept leaving his forehead.
Jacqueline motioned her pistol to point in Elena Bush’s direction, “Come here.”
They were behind her, making it impossible for her to be at ease.
Mason Bush nodded repeatedly and nudged Emma Bush who couldn’t settle down.
Emma Bush shook her head straight, her face full of fear, “Dad, no, don’t listen to her ……”
Jacqueline wanted to kill them now, it would be a death sentence to stay!
“Emma, stop it!” Mason Bush held down her restless movements.
Emma Bush wouldn’t listen and continued to cry and fuss.
Jacqueline was getting annoyed and shouted, “One more shout and I won’t mind if you put a hole in your head right now!”
Emma Bush was so frightened that she immediately shut up, her little face white ……
On the other hand, Edward Ford had already treated Elena Bush’s wound quickly, so that the force she could use with her handcuffed hands was not strong enough to cut the aorta.
Even so, the wound still stung!
Elena Bush looked over at Edward Ford with a smile and a sense of hatred and resentment, “Why did you save me?”
Why?
“Because you’re my daughter!” Edward Ford looked straight at her with unmistakable determination in one pair of eyes.
But the latter laughed, “Daughter? But I have never thought of you as my father, not even once, and even if you did this now, instead of being grateful, I would hate you even more!”
Because the price he paid for saving her was the sacrifice of Logan Brown after all!
Edward Ford pursed his lips and didn’t answer until Elena Bush thought he wouldn’t speak again when he suddenly said, “Even if you hate me for the rest of your life, I’m going to do it!”
“But I don’t need to!”
“I want you to live!” He put his hands on her shoulders and said, word for word, “Elena , I won’t let you die, ever!”
“Heh ……”
She laughed feebly and reached out to rip away the cloth that was wrapping her wound.
But Edward Ford’s hand was like an iron grip at the moment, impossible to shake!
Finally, she gave up and said helplessly, “Edward Ford, is that funny? I’m not Joanna Lake, so why do you have to do this for me?”
“I know you’re not her.” Edward Ford hung his head and didn’t look at her.
He also knew how similar they really looked, but in the end he realized that they were ultimately different and not the same person, so even if he was obsessed, even if he wanted her, in the end …… it would never be possible.
There are some things that, once you see them thoroughly, you naturally understand the meaning of them.
Elena Bush squeezed her palm, “If you know that, then why do you still do it?”
“You are my daughter!” Edward Ford said in righteous words, “I’m too old to do anything for you, but I just want to do my best if I can ……”
Elena Bush’s heart stirred, unable to say what she felt, and finally just a bitter smile.
“You talk about what’s best for me from start to finish, but you always do it in the wrong way, so I don’t really know what it will take to convince you, all I can say is that everything you think is good, I don’t need!”
“I ……”
Edward Ford looked at her, the light in his eyes unsure if it was loss or defeat ……
Mason Bush was on the sidelines, taking in all of the duo’s words, and hearing the movement in Elena Bush’s words, and sinking his face in a swish.
He finally couldn’t control himself and grabbed him by the collar, “Edward Ford, all these years have passed and you’re still playing the good old boy!”
“Mason Bush, what do you want?” Edward Ford rolled over quickly and brought him under control.
Mason Bush’s eyes were full of sarcasm, “What do I want? I just can’t stand the sight of your hypocrisy!”
“What are you talking about?” Edward Ford sized up the man in front of him, unable to understand the hatred in those fishy red eyes!
Mason Bush tugged at the corners of his mouth, looked at Elena Bush, looked at him again, and finally dissolved into a smile, “By the way, you must not remember me, do you? But I remember it all too well, how could I forget you when …… Joanna Lake’s body was claimed by you before me!”
