Chapter 27_A Love Forgotten

After I finished my meal, Logan asked, “Do you want to go for a walk?”

 “What?” I looked at him, clueless as ever.

 He then gestured toward my wrist where the IV was still attached. “The doctor suggested that you move around a little. But no vigorous exercise, and don’t overexert yourself.”

 I finally understood what Logan meant–he hade back specifically to look after me. He wasn’t avoiding going upstairs to work on hisputer. Rather, he was quietly staying by my side to support my recovery.

 I quickly nodded in agreement.

 After that, Logan had someone bring out a pair of lightweight sneakers for me and said, “Let’s go for a walk then.”

 However, just as we were getting ready to head out, there was amotion at the door.

 I heard someone say, “Ms. Quare, Mr. Wood is busy.”

 Ruby angrily replied, “I don’t care how busy Logan is. He has to see me! How long is he nning to leave me out there? I’m done staying at the hotel!”

 “Ms. Quare, please…”

 I instinctively shrank back. I truly didn’t want to face Ruby’s fiery temper again.

 I had no desire to get into another conflict with her. I valued my life too much to keep getting myself dragged into her drama, and I had to keep a distance from those who hated me.

 Logan sensed my difort and turned to me, saying, “I’ll go and handle this. Wait for me in the living

 room.”

 With that, he walked outside.

 Meanwhile, I sat in the living room for a while before curiosity got the better of me, and I quietly followed after him.

 Ruby stood with her suitcase and messy hair at the entrance. She looked quite disheveled.

 I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction deep inside. I knew it wasn’t morally right, but seeing her in such a state vindicated me.

 Logan’s voice was calm and firm as he said, “Ruby, I’ve told you. You need to apologize to Ari if you want toe back. But it’s not the right time now even if you do. Ari is still recovering.”This is from N?velDrama.Org.

 I was shocked and silently let out a sigh of relief. This protective side of Logan really touched me.

 In contrast, Ruby absolutely lost her temper.

 She yelled, “Logan, I’m your family, not her! Since when did you be so close to that bitch, Ari? Are you under her spell now? She’s nothing but a disgraceful woman!”

 Logan’s voice turned cold. “Ruby, I don’t like repeating myself. You should return to the hotel.” He then turned around and was about to walk away from her.

 However, Ruby continued to frantically yell, “Logan, I’m your family, not her! She’s Jonathan’s sister and has nothing to do with you. You…. I’m telling Vera that you’re treating me this way!” She burst into tears. As the night breeze blew by, Logan appeared distant and aloof. He said coldly, “Ruby, you’re just a distant

 cousin. It makes no difference to me whether I have one more sister or one less. I know very well whether or not Ari is my sister.”

 Ruby sobbed as she said, “Why are you defending her then? You’re kicking me out for an outsider?” She then grabbed onto Logan’s sleeve.

 To my surprise, Logan quickly shook her hand off as if he had been touched by something filthy. He frowned. “It’ste now. Stop crying…“.

 Ruby thought that Logan was about tofort her, and I couldn’t help but think the same too. But what he said next left her stunned in silence.

 “Stop making a scene at this hour. It’ll scare Ari. You should head back to the hotel immediately.”

 Instantly, the air wentpletely still. Ruby even forgot to cry, and I forgot to relish in her misery.

 Logan frowned again and looked at the nervous driver standing nearby. “Send her back to the hotel. Make sure she doesn’te back unless it’s necessary.”

 Ruby broke down. “I’m not going back to the hotel! My mom told me to stay here, so I’m staying!”

 Logan nced at her coldly. “It’s up to you whether or not you return to the hotel. But you’re not wee here.”
