Presiden's wild wife

Chapter229 Jacqueline’s Care

Logan didn’t answer. He wanted to be with Elena till he was sent to the OR. But she showed worry yesterday, which made him change his mind.

Elena said gently, “Hey, don’t worry about me, okay?”

“Em.” He nodded. “I will let Jacob get you some food.”

She was so tired yesterday. And she didn’t have dinner last night. And now she felt so hungry as he reminded.

Jacob brought the food for her. She ate some of it. Then Logan was sent into the operating room, ready to accept the operation. So she stopped eating and came in with him.

Albert came to her and let her know about the surgery before it started. “It’s not risky. So you don’t have to worry. But the rehabilitation is very important after the surgery.”

“I know.” She was upset, clenching fists behind her hip, trying to speak in a calm tone, “I trust you.”

“I will do my best.” He patted her shoulder and walked into the operating room with his team.

A team of doctors who were wearing masks and white uniforms were walking into the operating room. She couldn’t recognize anyone of them since their faces were covered. But she felt one of them was a bit familiar, so she tried hard to recognize the person but failed.

Roger saw her standing there and musing, “What’s wrong? Elena?”

“I think one of the doctors is familiar…” She looked at the door. It was closing.

“Who?”

“Well…forget it.” She looked at Roger, “Maybe I mistake it.”

She must have mistaken it. It was in M Country! No one here would know them. It was impossible to meet an old friend here.

Roger nodded. After a while, he paced back and forth because he felt apprehensive. Elena looked at him and felt upset too. She bit her lip, trying to compose herself.

Roger took a breath, “Well, I am sorry. I need to smoke.”

She understood him and answered him with a nod. Then she was staring at the floor.

The Browns got to know that Logan would have surgery this afternoon. Elena was stunned because Jacqueline made this call.

She smiled, “Elena. The surgery is on, isn’t it?”

“Any problem?”

“We all care about Logan. We just want to know how it is going.” Jacqueline blamed.

Elena frowned. She would never believe that Jacqueline meant well to them. She must fake it in front of Grandpa.

“We don’t know. We are still waiting.” She answered coldly.

Jacqueline seemed to be happier, “Great. That’s great.”

“What?!”

“I mean…it’s great that the surgery is on. Logan will recover after the surgery.” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“You tried to stop him from accepting the surgery. And now you are so happy with it? Why?” Elena asked.

What’s more, Logan and Elena knew that she must have something to do with the car accident three years ago. But they couldn’t find out the evidence! Jacqueline must be afraid that Logan would be a threat to her after he got recovered. Why was she happy now?

Jacqueline tried to explain, “We were so silly before. We should encourage Logan to move on from the past. We shouldn’t stop him. Anyway, it’s good for him to accept the surgery.”

Before she could say something more, George took away the phone.

“Elena! How is Logan? How is the surgery?”

“Grandpa…”

Hearing the familiar voice, Elena felt a sense of belonging and security.

“Yeah,” George greeted.

Elena smiled, “We're still waiting. Albert says it takes time, and he promises he will do his best.”

“Great. How are you now? Relax, okay? Don’t worry.” George tried to comfort her, but actually, he was also nervous. His hands were sweating.

Elena could hear him saying in a trembling tone, so she said, “Grandpa, the same to you. Don’t worry about us. We’ll be fine.”

She thought George was much more nervous.

Seemingly Elena was reading his mind. He was very nervous now. He coughed to clear his throat and continued speaking to Elena. He was trying to comfort and soothe her. She felt so thankful to George.

Before ending the call, she thought there was something wrong with Jacqueline, so she reminded, “Grandpa, could you please watch Jacqueline these days?”

George was puzzled, saying in a low tone, “Jacqueline? Why?”

“Well, nothing…please help me watch her. And tell me if there is anything wrong with her.”

George took a look at Cornel and Jacqueline out of the corner of his eye, answering with a nod, “Alright.”

She took a deep breath, “I hope you don’t mind. And maybe I overthink …”

Jacqueline might not be scheming against them; she might act that she cared about Logan just to please George.

After the call, Jacob asked her, “Are you worrying that Jacqueline is up to something?”

“Yes.” She nodded, “She made Logan disabled three years ago. And now, she can set him up again!”

“But…It’s in Albert’s hospital. She can’t do anything to us in our place.”

She rubbed her temple, feeling a bit dizzy, “I hope that it won’t happen.”

She really hoped that nothing would happen this time.

Roger came back. He smoked a lot so that everyone around him could smell it. Elena knew that he was nervous and upset. So she stopped talking about Jacqueline; she didn’t want to worry Roger.

Roger asked, “Is the surgery done?”

They shook their head. If the surgery was finished, they wouldn’t stand there without anything to do.

Roger wiped his face with his hand. No one could tell what he was feeling now; perhaps he was relieved because no news from the OR was good news for them.

A few hours later, with growing anxiety, they saw the light of the OR was off. That meant the surgery was over. Albert came out quickly. But he looked so upset and miserable now.

Elena stumbled towards him, asking in a hurry, “How is it?!”

“I am terribly sorry…”

Albert said with a look of pity, “The surgery failed…”

Elena could hardly breathe as she heard the result. Darkness came over her eyes, she nearly fell to the ground. “No! No! How can it fail? You told me that it wasn’t a risky one, and you would do your best! No…”

“I am sorry…but…there is something wrong with the surgery…I…” Albert wanted to explain, but all the words couldn’t come out of his mouth. Because he knew, what he said now was nothing but an excuse…

“I am so sorry. I don’t know why…I…I am so sorry…”

Elena tried to breathe. All her hope was breaking into pieces. And she felt miserable.
