Presiden's wild wife novel Chapter 140

Elena was waiting outside the Emergency Room. The corridor seemed endless, just like her desperation right now, which kept growing without an end. She couldn’t see the brightness. She was sinking into the darkness hopelessly.

Just in a few hours, everything changed. She was set up to be a murderer who tried to kill Emma.

When Logan and Jacob arrived, he saw Elena sat on the ground hopelessly, with blood on her dress. No one paid attention to her. She was just like a homeless child.

She saw the shadow on the ground, feeling someone approaching her. She raised her head and saw Logan.

“Logan…” She murmured. Her eyes looked empty, dead.

Logan took off his coat to cover her, trying to embrace her into his arms. He then comforted her in a low voice, “Don’t worry. I am here.”

Because of his comfort, she started crying and her heart burst with grief and grievance.

She wrapped his neck with her arms, biting his shoulder. And her tears damped his clothes.

Then she pushed him away and yelled in anger, “Why? Why don’t you tell me the truth? Why do you hide it from me? Logan, tell me! Why?!”

She could accept it if someone else tried to hide the truth from her. But not him.

Logan understood what she talked about. He embraced her even more tightly, “I am sorry.”

“I don’t need your apology. I need your explanation! You knew it, but you chose not to tell me. Why? Is it funny to see I am living and struggling in your lie?”

Logan couldn’t say anything but let her have an outlet in that way.

She kept crying. She didn’t stop until all her strength ran out. After a moment, she finally composed herself.

“What happened? What’s wrong with Emma?” He wiped her tears away. Looking at her red eyes, he felt so heartbreaking.

“Emma…she…”

She tried to explain though she was still shocked. “She fell down from upstairs by herself. But before that, she called Jeremy, and made him misunderstand that I made it happen…”

Logan was astonished after hearing her words.

Jacob knew what he should do right away, “I will look into this case and find out the clues.”

“Pointless…” Elena shook her head.

She was so clear that she couldn’t prove herself innocent without any witness or evidence.

“Elena!” Someone roared in anger. She turned around and saw Mason and Jeremy approaching her, looking at her in rages.

Mason was about to give a slap on her face, however, Logan was faster than him and stopped him by grasping his hand. “Mr. Bush. Before we find out the truth, no one can touch her!”

Mason was trembling and stared at him in a fury, “What do you mean by finding out the truth? Emma asked Jeremy for help on the phone, which proved that Elena was the murderer!”

“I will find out the truth. But not now.” Logan said in a calm tone.

“Truth?” Jeremy looked at Elena with disappointment and fear, “Elena, I thought you would always remain innocent and kind, though Emma had changed. But I am wrong! Totally wrong! She is pregnant! How can you do this to her?”

Elena was dumbfounded. She wanted to rush into the Emergency Room and woke her up, telling her that she won in this game! Emma successfully made her a target. Now everyone would think that she was a murderer!

The door of the ER was open suddenly, a nurse ran out of the room in a hurry, yelling, “The patient is hemorrhaging. And we don’t have enough type A blood! We need it now! Who can help?”

“I can help!” Mason stood up and said, “Take it from me! Please! Save my daughter!”

After hearing his words, she was frozen. It was her first time to know Mason’s blood type.

When she was a child, her mother always went to hospital because she was in poor health. So she knew that her mother was type O. And now, with the knowledge of Mason’s blood type, she couldn’t help laughing at herself. She was so silly. If she really were their daughter, how was she born with type AB?

She lowered her head and cried again.

While she was crying, Mason followed the nurse and did a blood test. But Jeremy still stood in front of her, waiting for her answer. He became more disappointed in her, “Elena, tell me. What made you change? You should be innocent, kind and nice. How can you…”

“Jeremy.” She called his name suddenly.

Jeremy looked at her, but saw her disappointment towards him, “Do you know why we broke up?”

“Don’t talk about the past! We are talking about Emma…”

“Yes. We are talking about her. So what did she say? What made you always believe her instead of me?” Elena asked him with a smile.

Jeremy was annoyed by her calmness, “You mean Emma told a lie and fell down on purpose just to set you up?”

“If it is true?”

“Ridiculous!”

Jeremy didn’t believe that Emma would kill their baby in this way on purpose! How would she bear to lose the baby! What’s more, Emma wouldn’t try to set her up at the price of her own life.

Elena looked away, “See? You never believe me.”

“How am I supposed to trust you? It’s so ridiculous! Come on, Elena, it’s so unbelievable!”

Elena held Logan’s hand tightly, seemingly getting some support from him.

Though no one believed her, Logan always showed her his trust no matter what she said or did.

She gave an indifferent look at Jeremy, “So this is the reason why we broke up. No matter what happens, you never trust me. You choose to stand against me, questioning and disproving me!”

Her statements made him scared. His head was in a mess. He kept thinking about the possibility what Elena told him just now.

Did Emma really fall by herself on purpose in order to set Elena up? But…how could it be!

He kept thinking without saying a word, while Elena looked away.

Logan wrapped her with his coat to keep her warm.

“I will prove that you are innocent. Those who attempt to set you up will pay the price!”

He spoke out firmly, which settled her down. She felt safety, and nodded with a smile, “I trust you!”

He could find out the truth!

Logan was satisfied. An idea occurred to him, so he asked, “You said I hid the truth from you. Then who told you?”

He carefully guarded her secret. Then what went wrong?
