Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 213

Janice looked at Logan with tear-filled eyes, appearing utterly helpless. It was as though Logan had

suddenly become her beacon of hope.

Logan nodded, indicating his understanding.

I noticed that Logan was quite the ladies man. Regardless of how harshly any woman addressed him,

he always returned their bitterness with kindness, calling them affectionate terms like 'dear'.

Janice collected herself and continued, "Because of this whole mess, I've become the laughing stock of

the town. They all look at me like I'm some sort of fool. Sure, in front of Olivia, I always come out on

top. But behind my back, I know what they're saying about me."

"They're just jealous because they can't bring you down!" Catherine chimed in, hitting the nail on the

head.

Janice let out a laugh at this, but tears also welled up in her eyes. "My sister and I, we've become a

joke!"

"Just hang in there!" Logan said calmly. His unflappable demeanor gave everyone a sense of security.

"Let them have their laugh now. We'll shut them up with the facts soon enough."

Logan's words made me think of my current predicament. I was surrounded on all sides, but I had to

lay low for now, waiting for the right moment to prove everyone wrong with hard evidence.

"The priority now is to find the child. No matter how thoroughly we investigate your situation, we'll have

to wait until your sister wakes up to take the next step. We've waited this long, so we can wait a little

longer." Logan's attitude was incredibly flexible, much like his dexterity in handling any situation.

Just as Catherine was about to interject, Logan stopped her and turned to Janice with a serious look.

"But Janice, a word of caution. Before your sister wakes up, it'd be best not to leave her alone. Have a

couple of trusted, sharp-minded people with her at all times. Some accidents can be quite unexpected."

Janice was stunned by Logan's words. She stood there, frozen, and then suddenly turned and stormed

out of the room, leaving everyone else in shock.

Gevena quickly grabbed her bag and said as she rushed out, "Mr. Monahan, thanks for the heads up!

Allie, I'm going to go check on her. We can't afford to take any chances with her health!"

I nodded quickly. "Go on, just don't let her get too worked up!"

Gevena gave me an 'ok' sign and darted after Janice.

Catherine sighed and shook her head, looking appreciatively at Logan. "Seems like your warning was © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

necessary after all."

A smug look crossed Logan's face. "See, I'm still useful, aren't I?"

"Definitely!" Catherine affirmed before turning to me and adding, "Indeed, when we left, the nurse was

the only one there. Irving has been acting weird lately. When things seem off, there's usually a reason. I

bet there's something going on."

I pushed away the small table in front of me and leaned back. "There might indeed be some secrets

they're trying to hide. People these days..." I shook my head in disbelief. "If I hadn't experienced all of

this firsthand, I wouldn't believe such dark, bizarre things could happen. But now, I can't help but

believe."

Catherine let out a wail. "God... I'm beginning to question everything! Can I even believe in love

anymore? Thank goodness I've stayed clear-headed!"

"That's not being clear-headed!" Logan said, looking at Catherine, who had a skeptical look on her

face.

"Then what is it?" Catherine asked, confused.

I thought to myself, how could Catherine's intelligence fail her at a time like this?

Sure enough, Logan said with a mock-serious face, "It's called being forgotten. With Cathy's

intelligence..."

Catherine seemed to realize that something was off and interrupted Logan, “Logan, do you know me

that well?”

"No, I haven't finished yet!" Logan said, looking innocently at Catherine who feigned annoyance.

Catherine waited for him to continue.

Logan said with a straight face, "I just mean that with Cathy's intelligence, no one would dare deceive

her."

Catherine's expression immediately brightened, but before she could reply, Logan added, "It's too easy

to slip up!"

I couldn't help but laugh at this point, spitting out my drink. "Hahaha..."

The next moment, Logan quickly made his escape.

Hannah and I were left in stitches while Catherine, gritting her teeth, chased after Logan to the door.

"You better hope I never see you again, Logan Monahan!"
