Chapter 223

After a while of silence, Logan started to talk, “Did Jacob mention anything about G City?”

“Hey, that can wait. Your surgery is the priority!” Elena said, holding his hands tightly. “Logan. I hope you’ll be well. I don’t care who my biological father is.”

What was more, she couldn’t accept it till now. She was afraid to find the truth...

So, no matter what, Logan was the top one on her list. She could put everything aside for him.

Logan’s dark eyes blinked, “OK. I’ll listen to you.”

She smiled, feeling relieved. She thought it would take time to persuade him.

Then he called Roger back, “Uncle Roger, I am sorry that the appointment has to be canceled. I am not available in days.”

Roger was confused, “Why? There’s something wrong with your business? Or the Browns is troubling you again...”

“Uncle Roger.” Logan interrupted. Seeing Elena out of the corner of his eyes, he looked mild, “I will have an operation in days, so I need to go abroad to do some preparation. We may stay there for days or weeks to wait for the result.”

Roger was so surprised. He became tearful when he heard the news.

“When...When will you set off? I want to go with you.”

“No, thanks. Elena will be with me. I know you are busy. Please don’t worry about me, Uncle Roger.”

Roger shot him an angry glance, “Hey, boy! I am not busy! I must go with you!”

Roger insisted to go with him. Logan couldn’t persuade him. So he had no choice but to agree.

At last, Logan made up his mind to accept this surgery. And Jacob contacted the hospital to let them schedule it.

George got the news somehow and went to meet them in a great hurry with Cornel. Due to the punishment, Cornel still looked at Elena sharply.

But Elena didn’t mind, smiling at them as she should do.

George and Logan were talking in the study. Cornel sat on the couch in the living room, looking at Elena with great discontent, “What is it gonna take for you to give up Logan?”

Elena raised her face slowly, looking back at him in amazement, “Are you talking to me?”

“Who else is in the living room now?”

Elena’s eyes blinked, “I don’t know what you mean. Are you unhappy with me?”

“You are a jinx! Jacqueline is right! You never truly care for Logan! You are ruining him!” He scolded.

“I am ruining him?” She couldn’t believe what he said.

Cornel added, “Yes, you are! You knew that it was impossible for him to walk again! But you pushed him to do the examination. And now you pushed him to accept the useless surgery! I know what you want! You want to destroy him, don’t you?”

Elena didn’t know why he ever got this conclusion.

She failed to keep up with his mind, “You want to see him sit in the wheelchair for the rest of his life but you won’t do anything to help him, don’t you?”

Logan had a chance to get fully recovered. There was no reason for him to give up the surgery.

“It’ll be a disaster that you give him hope but then it is broken! I’d rather not do anything!”

“How do you know it will be a disaster if you don’t have a try?”

Cornel was irritated by her naïve remarks. What he wanted to do now was give her a slap to wake her up. “He lost the ability to walk three years ago.

It’s been three years!! How do you know he can recover after three years? Don’t be naïve, Elena!”

“That’s because he never tries to stand up!”

Elena looked into his eyes without fear.

Cornel stared at her, “You don’t think I care for Logan, do you? He is my son! I love him! I know so well about him!”

“Oh, really? When and how did you care for Logan?” Elena asked back.

It was so funny to hear that Cornel loved Logan and he always meant well to him.

In fact, what she could see was how Cornel pushed Logan into desperation again and again, by favoring Yolanda, and by punishing Logan without a reason!

“It’s my family business. It’s none of your business!”

“Right. I don’t understand it. If I were you, I wouldn’t abandon Logan and his mother. I wouldn’t be that silly to marry a mistress and took an illegitimate daughter home in a big way!”

Yolanda was about Logan’s age. That was to say, Cornel had cheated on Logan’s mother before the divorce!

The affair was revealed. He was trembling with anger. He couldn’t control himself and yelled, “How dare you talk to me like that?!”

Elena wasn’t afraid, sitting even more still.

Cornel was gritting his teeth. Looking at her, he suddenly remembered how his ex-wife defended Logan... And now, it was Elena who tried to defend Logan, as his ex-wife used to do. She was a weak and tender woman, like his ex-wife, but now she was acting so tough and dauntless in front of him, telling him that it was HE who destroyed his family and ruined Logan.

The memory flooding over him made him give in. He looked blank now.

“I call you “father’ because I love Logan and I try to show you my respect and good manner. But please, don’t treat Logan as a loser! He is not that vulnerable. He is the most strong-minded person I’ve ever seen in the world!”

Logan could make it through. She didn’t know what Cornel was afraid of.

Cornel asked, “Are you one hundred percent sure that the surgery will succeed?”

She shook her head, “No one can guarantee it. Me, either. I am not a doctor...”

“You mean you push him to accept a risky surgery with uncertainty?!”

“But we should have a try!” She looked determined, “No matter what you say, I will encourage him to do the operation. Unless you can stop him.”

He was struck dumb. Could he stop Logan? The answer was “No”. Logan hated him. If it weren't for George, Logan wouldn’t have talked to him once.

Logan had grudge against him, which made it impossible for him to change Logan’s mind.

His silence was the answer to Elena. She knew Cornel couldn’t stop Logan. She bit her lip, “If you can’t stop him, he will accept the surgery.”

The surgery was hopeful; she wouldn’t give up any hope.

Cornel balled up his palms into fists. Facing Elena’s tough stand, he couldn’t do anything but to accept it. A flood of helplessness came to him. It was like a reminder, telling him that he was the worst father who always disappointed Logan.

Presiden's wild wife Chapter 222 Logan’s Surgery A Trillionaire’s Revenge CHAPTER 41 The dead silence was between them. George and Logan came back to the first floor after finishing their conversation. Cornel threw a hopeful look at George, who was most likely to stop Logan from accepting the surgery.
