Chapter 625 Guilt
Elena's whole body cells were screaming and unconsciously put up a guard against the person in front of her, "What are you doing here?"
"I......" Edward's steps suddenly stopped with a bemused look on his face, "Elena, I'm just here to make amends."
Make amends?
What is the point of him saying this now?
Elena's brow was locked, indifferent, even so, Logan could still clearly feel her wounded hand hidden under the quilt that had been clenched into a fist at some point. Fearing that she had tossed to the wound, the big hand silently clasped hers, and the two of them clasped their fingers together to keep her from hurting herself.
The little woman glanced at him, her eyebrows flashing with surprise.
The latter sensed her gaze and quirked her head back with a reassuring smile.
Edward took a long breath, and then his gaze was followed by firmness, "Elena, I know you hate me, but I have also thought about what I did, I was very wrong, I do not ask for your forgiveness, just hope you can hear me out......" "No......."
Elena subconsciously wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly, the man was the first to open his mouth and agree to it.
At her dismay, Logan pursed his lips and smiled, "Instead of choosing to run away, why not hear him out properly and make a clean break?"
The break will not be thought of in the future.
Elena stalled for a moment and finally compromised, "Hmm."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice is like with a unique magic, so that people can not refuse.
The little woman looked down and caressed the cheek of the little one in her arms and said, "Logan, can you look at Joel? I want to go out and talk to him."
"No!" Logan refused outright without even thinking about it, "I can't confirm that he's not a threat to you or me yet, so I can't leave you alone with him."
The man's face carried a characteristic coldness that made it impossible not to obey, and Elena had a flash of embarrassment.
But to Edward's expectant eyes, finally clenched his teeth, "It's just a conversation, it'll be fine in a while, it's okay."
"No!"
"Logan......"
She placed the baby on his side without a word, her small face tinged with a soft smile, "Trust me, okay?"
"Elena."
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes!" Elena took advantage of the gap before he could answer and immediately jumped off the hospital bed, her soulful eyes flashing with a touch of cunning, catching people off guard. "You......"
Logan sighed impotently and looked at Edward with a flash of sternness under his eyes, "Edward, if anything happens to her, I guarantee that you will not be able to leave H City for half a step!"
Edward laughed, "Don't worry, I'll return her to you intact."
The man grunted coldly, a cold air that was impossible to ignore.
Elena sighed softly helplessly and squeezed his palm before releasing his hand to leave.
In the corner of the narrow corridor of the hospital, Edward and Elena looked at each other for a long time, and no one spoke.
"Ahem!" Edward raised a hand and clenched a fist against his lips to clear his throat and took the lead in speaking up to break the silence.
"Elena...... I'm sorry about your mother Joanna......"
Elena lowered her head and wiggled her fingers with slightly uneasy hands, "Since you know that too, all the more reason to know that some things can't be undone just because you say you're sorry!"
"I know, but even so, I still have to apologize to you!"
The words just fell, he 'flopped' all over and knelt straight in front of her.
Elena's heart thumped, her knees went weak, and she also immediately knelt down.
She clenched her teeth and flashed her hostility, "What are you doing! If you have something to say, get up and say it, I can't afford it!"
Edward was unaware of it, but just stretched out a trembling hand to hold hers tightly, "Elena, you don't know, and you can't imagine, back then Joanna and I were happy together in the end how good, but I also know, in the end, all this, or completely destroyed in their own hands."
He laughed, as if mocking himself, "I could have maintained it for the rest of my life, could have stayed with her in peace, respected each other and had children......"
This is how it should have been, but which part of it went wrong he simply did not know.
By the time he reacted, Joanna was already leaving him, and if he did nothing at that time, Joanna would really be gone from his world, and that was a bad news he could never accept in his life.
Therefore, he made a heartless act, the woman he once held in his heart completely dragged into hell, will destroy her.......
Thinking of this, the tears in his eyes like a breakwater gushed out, his hands covered his face, a face of pain!
"Elena, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry for her, and I'm sorry for you!"
He was overwhelmed by the fantasy, so he finally made something that he regretted .......
Elena looked at him, the man who was rich in G City, the man who could shake up G City by stamping his foot, and at this moment was as helpless as a child, making it impossible to say that one could sympathize, but also impossible to ignore. In the heart, a mixed bag of flavors.
Edward wiped his face, "Elena, I'm not asking you to forgive me, I just hope you can hear me out, I've done too many wrong things in my life, and I don't want to do anything to hurt you and hurt anyone else ......"
Elena listened to his words with a vague sense that something was wrong, "What are you trying to do?"
"Elena......" Edward closed his eyes deeply, and when he opened them again, his eyes were all light and spontaneous, "I have thought about it, in this life I lost Joanna because of the financial power and rights, and I want to leave all of this to you, and I He smiled with relief, and the gloom in his eyes made it real!
Elena didn't even think about it and snapped, "Edward, I don't need you to make amends now, and I don't need you to make any more sacrifices for me!"
"But I ......"
Edward lowered his eyes, self-condemnation and shame filled his whole body, "I have long since destroyed with my own hands the happiness that I could get in my own hands, what qualifications do I have ......"
"You are not qualified!?" Elena snapped his shoulders, "Edward, you did something wrong, you have to pay for it with this life, you should live your whole life in remorse, in pain! So, don't think about dying, that's too cheap!"
She reprimanded word for word, a fishy red under her eyes.
Edward looked up at her blankly, "Elena, I......"
