Jacqueline committed suicide!
Logan Brown squeezed the phone tighter and all the expressions on his face froze for an instant ……
When Elena Bush and Logan Brown arrived at the prison, Jacqueline’s body was being prepared for cremation and Jacob was there waiting for them.
When he saw the pair he immediately approached them, “Sir, ma’am ……”
Elena Bush looked pale, “What’s going on?”
“The wardens saw Jacqueline sitting quietly in bed the whole time when they went to deliver the food this morning, and then went back a few hours later not expecting ……”
Jacqueline had torn the quilt into long strips straight away and hung herself from the barred window. Killed herself ….
Elena Bush went pale, “What’s going on?”
On one side, Logan Brown looked extraordinarily calm, his icy face unruffled.
“Perhaps, she also knew that she would not escape death, and instead of letting someone else take her life, it would have been easier to die herself.” The man’s clear, cold voice said slowly.
The wait for the verdict was long and torturous, Jacqueline had already known her end and that was why she had chosen to take her own life ……
Elena Bush shook her head helplessly.
The person who had hated her all her life and had thought about killing her in the end was dead after all, and her heart felt like it was half empty, I couldn’t tell you how it felt.
Logan Brown patted her palm wordlessly, “That was her choice anyway, and it was her way of giving herself relief.”
“Yeah.” She nodded and snuggled into his arms a little helplessly.
The man patted her back, wordlessly soothing.
It was a long time before she got up and wiped her face breaking away from Logan Brown’s hand squeezing it tightly and gritting her teeth, “Can I …… see her?”
“That’s ……” Jacob had some difficulty, “Jacqueline was hanging herself and I’m afraid it might frighten the lady.”
Elena Bush shook her head, “She’s already a dead person, it won’t scare me.”
“Fine.”
Jacob could only lead her inside.
Logan Brown followed close behind ……
Jacqueline’s face was as pale as paper and her whole body lay there cold.
Elena Bush’s hands were uneasily clasped together and the corners of Jacqueline’s mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was happy to be dead ……
She hooked her lips and her tense nerves slackened.
“Logan, you’re right, maybe death will be the real relief for her ……”
Then she might be able to reunite with Yolanda underground, and mother and daughter could be reunited ……
Logan Brown reached out and squeezed her palm, “Well, people have their own lives, so don’t be sad.”
“I’m not sad.” She turned her head and curled her lips at him and smiled, “It’s just that I’m a little uncomfortable with the sudden absence of someone else.”
“I’ll always be there for you from now on.” The man whispered, his voice soft enough for only her to hear.
Elena Bush’s eyes immediately reddened and she couldn’t help but fall into his arms, “Let Jacob take her away, and when she’s cremated, we’ll bury her ashes next to Yolanda’s. It’ll be a fulfilment of her wish.”
“Hmm.”
Logan Brown nodded and coaxed gently, “Don’t you cry, did you forget to promise me you wouldn’t cry?”
“I’m not crying!” Elena Bush stubbornly lifted her face and looked at him with her bottom lip clenched, “It’s just that the smoke is too strong in here and it’s smothering me.”
The sophistry was not convincing, but even so, Logan Brown pretended to believe it.
With a large hand he helped her up and said, “Let’s go out and wait.”
“Mmm.”
Elena Bush nodded obediently, not turning to look at Jacqueline again.
Jacqueline was really dead this time, and she seemed a little calmer at this point than she had been that time earlier when Cornel Brown had sent men to salvage her for days and nights.
Perhaps they had known Jacqueline would make this choice, but no one had said anything about it ……
“Logan Brown ……” Elena Bush sniffled and looked down at him, “Since we’re all here, let’s go see Mason Bush later. ”
He had raised her, and she was always going to have to deal with it.
“Well, I’ll keep you company?”
“No need.” She shook her head, a little toughness on her little face, “I can do it on my own, you don’t want to underestimate me, besides I’m not a kid anymore.”
“Good.” Logan Brown nodded and didn’t stop her again, just said, “I’ll ask Jacob to arrange it later.”
“Uh-huh!” Elena Bush narrowed her eyes and crouched down to level with him, “Logan Brown, why do you always get to indulge me with such capricious requests?”
Actually, she wouldn’t have been angry even if he hadn’t said yes.
Logan Brown had a smile on his lips as he raised his hand to caress her cheek, pulling her hair back behind her ear.
She didn’t know how long it would be before she heard his voice say, “You married me, you gave yourself to me, so …… if I don’t spoil you, can I give you to someone else?”
Elena Bush’s heart couldn’t help but beat wildly a few times, her little heart ‘pounding’ like a deer .
Her head sank into his arms and she said with a petulant note, “Aren’t you worried that I will become unreasonable because of your favour?”
“Silly girl.” Logan Brown was smiling as he cupped her face, his eyes deep as if he was trying to suck her into his pupils, “If that day ever comes, it will prove that you can no longer escape from my world.”
A large hand pinched her face, and the dominant oath fell, “Then you’ll be in my hands, you little girl, and you’ll admit it.”
Elena Bush snorted out a laugh, her eyebrows curving up like a bright moon in the starry sky.
She hugged his lean waist and hummed, “Actually, I’ve been your captive for a long time, so …… Mr. Brown, you must treat your captives well!”
“Naturally.”
Logan Brown nodded in satisfaction and lifted her chin lightly with his index finger, “And how would madam like me to treat her?”
“Rascal!” Elena Bush snapped, her face burning and her mind wondering how the conversation had suddenly turned into this.
Logan Brown caressed her cheek and softly promised, “Elena, don’t worry, even if everyone will leave your world, I will always be by your side and stay with you until you are old ……”
Elena Bush raised her eyes in surprise to meet his gaze, and was even more shocked.
He could see the unease in her heart ……
