Chapter 199: Chapte 199 Cornel was Punished
Grandpa George looked at Ynda indifferently, “They have done a lot for the Browns? Oh,e on.
You are kidding.”
Ynda was confused, “Grandpa?”
“You never help run our business, so it’s normal that you know nothing about it. Our family business is
being ruined by your father!”
“But…he is working hard for you. He means well.”
“Save it. Don’t cry in front of me.” Grandpa George pushed her away. He looked at Cornel, “Come and
tell us if you deserve the punishment?”
Cornel pulled Jacqueline, gritting his teeth and answering, “Yes. We deserve it.”
“Good. I heard you. Jacqueline,e here now! You will be the one to punish Cornel! Don’t ever miss
one hit!” Grandpa George looked at Jacqueline.
She was trembling in fear. She didn’t dare to look at Cornel.
Grandpa George squinted at her, “Why don’t you move?”
“Grandpa, please don’t force my mother. She must feel miserable now.”
“When do I force her? Cornel agreed to be punished, and I just invite her to do the thing for me. As you
know, I am too old to raise the stick. She should do it for me, shouldn’t she?”
Ynda looked at Jacqueline. She wanted to defend her mother but atst she chose to be silent.
The maid took the stick and gave it to Jacqueline. Her hands were trembling.
She tried to hit once at Cornel. However, Grandpa George wasn’t satisfied with it, “Harder! Are you
hungry?”
“Father…”
“Do as he says. It’s my fault. I shall take the punishment!” Cornel closed his eyes, ready for taking the
punishment.
Jacqueline wiped her tears, hitting him heavily and counting it at the same time.
Elena looked away. Logan held her hand, “Let’s go home. It’s their business now.” Then they were
about to leave.
But Grandpa George didn’t want them to go, so he stopped them in a hurry, “Don’t go now. It’s your
business as well. We are family.”
“Grandpa…” Elena shook her head, “We are tired now. We don’t want to see it.”
Grandpa George could see how tired she was now. So he agreed, “Alright. Go home as you like. I will
visit you tomorrow.”
“No, thanks.” Logan said, “Do not bother. Please stay here, Grandpa.”
Grandpa George knew that Logan wasn’t in a good mood. He hated here. Thinking about that,
Grandpa George stared at Cornel who was being punished now with anger.
Cornel was lowering his head. And Jacqueline was crying while hitting her husband. She felt so sorry
about him.
Elena took a deep breath. After saying goodbye to Grandpa George, she left here with Logan.
After leaving the house, she felt relieved. She said, “I shall call Jeff first before we go home.” Jeff was
their family doctor.
Logan smiled at her, “No worries. It doesn’t hurt.”
Elena stared at him, “Save it! Just listen to me; or do you want my knuckle-sandwich?”
Her words teased Logan. He pinched her cheek, “Yes. I will enjoy it.”
Elena wouldn’t really beat him. She was unhappy, “Come on. I’m just kidding. Please don’t take it
seriously.”
“I know you won’t beat me. You won’t bear to hurt me even a little.” Logan smiled cunningly, like he
could always see her through.
Her lips curled in a wry smile, “Don’t make fun. It’s not funny. You’ve suffered today.”
“I’m good, really.” He embraced her in his arms. But Elena didn’t dare to hug him. His back was badly
hurt now. She didn’t dare to touch his back.
Logan was smiling, patting her head gently.

Jeff arrived as soon as they got home. Jeff was going to check his back. Logan looked at Elena and
said, “Would you please stay outside for a while? It’s not proper for you to stay here when checking. I
will be too timid to take off my clothes.”
Elena stared at him. She didn’t believe his nonsense. She knew that he just didn’t want her to see how
badly he was hurt now. So she insisted, “No way. I’m going nowhere!”
“Please. Stay outside for a while. Then apply the medicine for me. OK?”
Elena shook her head, showing her disagreement.
Logan sighed, “Please…”
“No! Way! I know you don’t want to show me your wound.”
“Since you know, why don’t you just listen to me?” Logan cast a wry nce at Elena. She was so
sensitive. And sometimes she was so stubborn and didn’t know when to listen to him.
Knowing his thought, Elena determined to stay here, no matter what he said.
Jeff felt so embarrassed since she was staring at him. So he said, “Mrs. Brown, you are stressing me
out…Would you please wait outside? I promise I will give a healthy husband back to you.”
Elena was blushing. His remarks made her believe that she was the fifth wheel. So she didn’t want to
get in his way and decided to wait outside.
Jeff cast a nce in her direction, and said, “You have a good wife, Mr. Brown.”
“Thank you very much.” He said in a cold voice. He worried if Jeff was interested in Elena.
Jeff was truly stressed out now. Logan was staring at him. He thought Logan looked sullen now maybe
because he just praised his wife. Logan must treat him as an enemy.
Jeff took off Logan’s shirt. He was so shocked to see Logan’s wound on the back, “Oh, gosh! Who did it
to you?! You are hurt badly!”
Then Jeff realized he was so silly to ask that question. No one could touch Logan in H City, except his
family.
“You don’t need to know! Give me medicine for it.”
“Yes, Mr. Brown.” Jeff answered.
After applying some medicine on his back, he gave Logan a bottle, “You may ask your wife to apply it
for you. Three times a day. Massage is rmended. It might hurt but…”
“Did you apply the medicine on my back?” Logan asked him suddenly.
Jeff nodded, “Yes.”
“Then dress my wound now.”

“What?” Jeff was surprised, “Well, you are hurt badly, but you don’t need dressing. By the way,
dressing isn’t good for your recovery.”
But Logan gave him a sharp stare, stopping him from offering his advice.
