Her Family


    Elena also got strained when she heard Jacob’s words. Jacob nced at her and then replied


    cautiously, “Where is him?”


    “OK, I’ming.”


    Elena saw he hung up the phone, then she stood up, “What’s the matter? They’ve found the one who


    damaged our car?”


    Jacob nodded, “He is taken to the police station. But he doesn’t confess, and they don’t know what to


    do.”


    “Do I need to tell Logan?”


    “No.” Jacob squeezed his hand, “Mrs. Brown, please stay in the hospital. I’lle to see what


    happens.”


    Elena waved her hand and ask him to leave, “Go. Just call us if there is any problem. We’ll call a taxi to


    go hometer.”


    “No, I’lle back soon and drive you home.”


    Angered by his stubbornness, Elena forced a smile, “Why are you so obstinate? Don’t you think it’s too


    far?”


    Jacob turned silent. But he looked like he was weighing his options.


    Elena could not stand him anymore, so she gave him a push, “That’s it. Just go. I’ll stay in the hospital.


    And I won’t get into trouble in such a short time.”


    Jacob thought she was wright. They were urging him, so he had to leave right away.


    When he left the hospital, Kent suddenly gave her a call. She thought she misread the name on the


    screen when she looked at it, so she did not answer the phone right away.


    “Kent?”


    “Yeah, it’s me.” Kent responded very soon. But he sounded tired, “I’ve heard that you had an ident?


    How are you doing?”


    “Why can you know it so quickly?” Elena could not understand.


    Kent sniffed, “Who do you think can hide something from me in H City? Moreover, have you forgotten


    my work in H City?”


    He was the boss of a gang in H City, so he was the first to know what had happened if his men had an


    ident. But he did not expect that someone would hurt her regardless of consequences.


    Elena knew the reason now.


    Then she ignored his question and asked, “I’m fine now. But why can’t I contact you these days?”


    “I need to deal with something.”


    “Is it really difficult?”


    Otherwise, why would she lose contact with him?


    Besides, she could sense he was very tired through the phone.


    Kent was jolted obviously. Then he replied, temporizing with a smile, “Nothing. No need to worry.”


    “Even you want to pretend nothing happens, but you sound you are exhausted.” She was dispirited.


    Kent shook his head, even though he knew she could not see him.


    “Anyway, it’s a purely private affair, don’t worry about that. Just think about how to handle your own


    stuff.”


    Elena snorted, “I think what you say is also suitable for you.”


    He was the one who got into the trouble but still worried about them staying in H City. How could he


    imply her concern was unnecessary?


    Feeling abashed, Kent did not know how to reply.


    Elena found he turned silent and knew he was difited, so sheughed out immediately, “OK, that’s


    it. Just pretend that I haven’t said or asked anything, OK?”


    “It’s nice that you’re fine. I’m fine too. Anyway, I still want to sneer at someone who had promised to


    protect you. You’re now in danger because of him.” Kent said in an unnatural way.


    Amused, Elena was smiling. She knew he was worrying about them. But he would still make an ironic


    remark deliberately.


    However, in order not to put him down, she had to agree with him, “Yeah, it’s his fault.”


    “You are reasonable now.” Kent sniffed and continued, “If I were him, I would not be so stupid. I would


    handle it in a much cleverer way.”


    “Kent…”


    Smiling, Elena called his name suddenly.


    Kent paused for a while and waited her to continue.


    Elena took a deep breath and then spoke again, “I don’t know what you are doing, and I don’t know


    what you want to do. But I just want to say a few words.”


    “What?”


    “Be careful.”


    Kent tightened his gripped on the phone and thenughed, “Why do you say this suddenly? It sounds


    like I am going to die.”


    “I…” Elena was speechless, “That’s not what I mean. I just want to…”


    “I know.”


    “What?”

    Kent beamed, “It’s amitment to you. I promise you I’ll be safe no matter what happens.”


    “Why…”


    She blinked her eyes nkly – why would him make such a promise to her?


    “Well.”


    Kent sighed. And then he said in a clear voice, “It is because I think of you as myst family. Elena, you


    are thest hope of mine in this world…”


    Therefore, he hoped that she could live safe and sound for the rest of her life. And he would promise


    her to do anything no matter what happened.


    Family…


    She was dumbfounded when she heard that. It was the first time that she had ever heard this word said


    by Kent.


    She had thought that she was being alone at first. Then she met Logan and she was not alone


    anymore. Now, she had a baby and…


    Kent suddenly appeared someday and told her he was her half-brother and that he already thought of


    her as his family.


    She found it surreal. She felt like she was in a dream.


    Kent seemed to regret after he said that, so he spoke immediately, “I’ve got something to deal with.


    Call youter.”


    He hung up the phone after speaking. Holding her phone, Elena was ecstatic. And she even began to


    dance about like a child.


    Logan saw that when he walked out the door.


    He was bewildered, “Why are you so cheerful?”


    Elena turned around and saw him. Then she ran to him and hugged him with a big smile, “Logan, what


    do you think if I have a brother from now on?”


    Logan frowned, “Kent?”


    She kept nodding earnestly.


    “NO!”


    “Why?”


    Logan got angry. Why?


    Kent tried to take her away from him again and again. And he almost lost her because of Kent. How


    could he admit Kent was his brother-inw so easily?
