Chapter 62 The girl he adores with his life
Ogden was frightened by Logan and lost all his strength. Only after Logan left did he recover slowly. He was on his knees, breathing so hard to feel alive again. His dad kicked him without mercy and said, “Find out Aria. Or I don’t care whether you will die or not!”
Ogden knew his dad meant it. He was actually doomed to die.
Logan went out and saw Charlie leaning on the car and waiting for him.
“I owe you this time.”
“Not really. I just returned the favor since you attended my party earlier.”
Charlie received a phone call from Coral and knew Elena was taken away. He sensed something was wrong and told Logan at once. When he arrived, Logan was already here.
“Well, thanks for coming anyway.” Logan said.
Charlie accepted it and said, “Don’t worry. I will send the surveillance video to Jacob later.”
Logan nodded to agree.
Then Charlie got into his car and said, “I’m leaving now. Please tell Elena and Sophia to stay at home and have a good rest. They will have a one-week holiday.”
After Charlie vanished, Jacob came and reported, “Sir, I sent Sophia to the villa. The doctor is waiting for her there. But madam is unwilling to leave alone and waiting for you in the car.”
When he got into the car, a hand under the suit reached out and held his arm. He held her back and asked gently, “Still frightened?”
Elena removed the suit and showed her small face. Her eyes were still red and fixed on him pitifully. “I was frightened at first, but then I wasn't because I knew you were here.”
She knew he could always protect her from any danger.
“How did you get my location?” said Elena, leaning on him even closer to feel his warmth.
“Charlie told me. He said you might be in danger.”
Elena felt sorry and lowered her head. “I broke my words again. Sorry.”
She had promised to him that she wouldn’t put herself in such a dangerous situation. However, she couldn’t protect herself from any risk. She should have been more careful before leaving with them! What was more, she even put Sophia in danger.
Hearing her genuine apology, Logan could scarcely blame her, and the anger inside his body was fading away.
“I don’t expect you will be safe all the time. So, I made a decision. I will try my utmost to keep you safe, no matter you want it or not.”
He said slowly and determinedly, which moved her so much. She tried to raise her head to look at him but was held even more tightly by him.
Jacob was driving the car and giving a look at them in the mirror. He was surprised to see Logan’s ears turning red because of shyness.
…
Back to the villa, Sophia woke up and had recovered. Seeing them coming back safely, Sophia burst into crying. “Thank God, you are OK. Or I have no idea what to do.”
Elena comforted her, “You got what I want to say.”
Sophia hugged her, “Thank you for protecting me. I can’t believe Ogden is such a monster. So the rumor is true!”
Logan turned to the doctor, “Doctor, please help her with her wound.”
Elena’s face was red and swollen. But she was quite healthy except that.
Logan looked at her dotingly. “I will ask Mia to prepare the bath for you both. You might want that.”
Elena agreed.
While Jacob followed Logan into the study.
Thinking of the investigation on Ogden, Jacob concluded, “Ogden is cautious. He always asks others to do the dirty work for him. All the evidences I have can only get him in prison for ten years.”
“Ten years?” Logan said coldly and cruelly, “Not enough!”
The girl he adored with his life was mistreated by him like this. Ten years of prison life wouldn’t heal the hurt in her heart.
Jacob understood at once and promised, “I will get more evidence.”
Logan nodded. “Don’t tell anything to Elena. Let her have a good rest.”
“I got it.” Jacob said. Then something occurred to him, “What about Aria?”
Logan smiled cynically, “Do you think she can get away when Ogden is in such a great trouble?”
Though they didn’t hold the wedding, Aria was already Ogden’s wife. What was more, Ogden’s trouble was caused by her. He and his family wouldn’t let her go easily.
Jacob understood immediately and nodded. “Then I will return to work.”
“Alright.”
Logan stayed alone in the study for a while. When he got downstairs, he heard Mia was speaking to Elena, “Oh my gosh! You poor little thing. Why do you have to suffer this!”
“I am fine, really, Mia!” Elena said with a smile.
“I don’t think so! Look at your face! And you bleeding lip.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Yes! We must let Ogden pay for this!” Sophia added angrily.
Elena didn’t know how to handle this situation and happened to see Logan looking at them quietly.
She hinted him for help, but he just kept silent as before.
Why didn’t he offer help? She wondered and curled her lips.
