Chapter 232 Elena Is In A Daze
Ryan finished his works at the Monor Group very quickly because he wanted to accompany Elena.
When Ryan returned to the villa, the house was terrifyingly quiet. Mrs. Baker had already been discharged from the hospital, but he had allowed Mrs. Baker to go back and rest. After all, Mrs. Baker had been seriously injured because of Elena's kidnapping the last time. Mrs. Baker was already old. If she did not take a good rest, there might be repercussions in the future.
Ryan had already called some other servants over to serve Elena. Those people were all waiting outside Elena's room.
When the maids saw Ryan, they quietly walked over.
Ryan looked at the room and saw that there was no movement. He asked softly, "How was Madam today?"
One of the middle aged maid looked up at the quiet person in the room. "Madam was fine. She just woke up for a while and played with the children for a while. Then she fell asleep again. She hasn't woken up yet."
These maids were all very nice. Their mouths were very tight and they wouldn't leak the news about their family. Now, Elena's situation could not be known by anyone.
Ryan nodded and then suddenly thought of something. “What about the twins?”
The middle aged woman, who spoke up earlier, opened her mouth again. “Both the babies are fine. They are sleeping.”
Ryan hummed and returned to his room. May be it was because he opened the door too hard, the person on the bed was shocked when she heard the sound. She instantly sat up and looked at Ryan blankly.
"Elena, how do you feel today?" Ryan sat on the bed and stretched out his hand to grab Elena's hand.
Looking at the hand coming towards her, Elena, however, shrank back in fear. It was as if she did not know him at all.
"Elena, don't worry. You are fine. I am your husband, and I am Ryan." He said gently, wanting Elena to remember him.
However, instead of remembering, she moved even backward in fear. Elena curled up in a corner of the bed. Her arms hugged her thighs tightly. She looked at the man in front of her vigilantly as if he was devil wanting to eat her.
Seeing her so terrified, Ryan's heart was filled with anxiety. What exactly happened in the warehouse that day? Why did Elena just forget about him? Why did she become like today?
"Where are my children?" Elena asked carefully. Probably because she did not speak for a long time, her voice was a little hoarse.
"Both the children are still sleeping. When they wake up, I will carry them over and let you take a look, okay? Our two children have yet to come up with names. Have you thought about their names? What
should we call them?"
As he spoke, Ryan sat a little closer once again. It was probably because of the mention of the children that Elena's eyes lit up a little.
"Name, yes... I haven't thought of their names yet." When she said this, the corner of Elena's mouth raised into a happy smile.
"Elena, we. . ." Ryan tried to get closer again. Just as he was about to touch her, Elena, however, retreated again and did not let him touch her at all.
Elena lowered her head and looked at the man in front of her even more vigilantly.
Ryan finally gave up on getting closer. He did not want to provoke Elena because of his actions. This would not do her any good.
Elena looked outside the window and asked. "Is it autumn?"
"Yes!" For some reason, looking at her like this, Ryan felt his heart ached.
"I want to see the moon."
Ryan looked at his watch. There were still three or four hours before the sky would turn dark.
"Can we wait for a while?" He softly tried to coax Elena.
"No! I want to see the moon!" Elena said again.
Ryan had no choice but to ask someone to prepare it quickly. Although there were chairs in the yard, Ryan knew Elena liked to swing.
Ryan asked Jasper to prepare a swing. He placed it in the yard and looked up at the sky.
But it was still sunny and daytime. Where could he find the moon?
Ryan sighed. Right now, he could only calm Elena's mood first, and then wait until night to accompany her to admire the moon.
…
This time, after Ryan finished the call, Jasper did not come. The one who came was Jackson.
Jackson had always been a carefree person. He had known that Elena was pregnant from long ago but he was quite busy so he didn’t have the time to come back. Now he finally got some time. He came back to see the couple.
Jackson came over with some things in his hand and looked at Ryan, who was standing alone in the large living room, with a smile. “Hey Ryan. You haven’t forgotten about me after not seeing me for some time, have you?”
Jackson put the things on the coffee table and continued to ask, “By the why, where is my sister-in- law? I want to see her. And I also want to introduce myself with my nephew so that he can recognize this cool uncle from the moment he is born.”
Jackson was very excited. He, Ryan and Isaac were childhood friends and grew up together. Now one of them was going to be a father soon. And most importantly, it was Ryan. So it was inevitable for both of them to be happy and excited.
After finished speaking, Jackson realized that Ryan had been kept silent all the time. Normally, Ryan would have already chased him out, if he spoke nonsense. But this time, strangely this man didn’t say anything.
Jackson curiously went forward to see Ryan’s expression. However, upon seeing Ryan's red eyes, he frowned.
"Holy shit! What's going on? How can there be someone in this world who can bully you? Don't tell me you quarreled with sister-in-law?"
Jackson had been staying abroad recently, so he knew nothing about what had happened here.
In the past, there would be laughter and giggles every time he came here. However, he did not expect that there would be a dead silence when he came here today.
Hearing his words, Ryan didn’t say anything. This expression, however, turned even sadder as he pursed his lips tightly. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
What happened to Elena was solely his fault. But for the first time in his life, he didn’t know what to do for making up for his mistakes.
If he hadn’t gone out that day, such an accident wouldn’t have happened and Elena wouldn’t have like
this.
Ryan originally thought that after bringing Elena back to their home, her condition would improve. But at the contrast, her condition was worsening even more.
Jackson studied Ryan’s expression carefully. No matter how much of a fool he was, at this moment he knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, Ryan, this inhuman, wouldn’t be so sad.
Furthermore, the thing that happened must be a terrible one.
Suddenly, something flashed in his mind as Jackson grabbed Ryan’s arm and asked anxiously. “Don’t tell me that something happened to sister-in-law. She is fine, right?”
If it was related to work, there was no chance that Ryan would be sad for this. So it must be something related to Elena.
Ryan sighed and sat down. He gestured the excited Jackson to sit as well. Then he told Jackson about what had happened recently including Elena giving birth and her PTSD.
After listening to the whole situation, Jackson instantly stood up and shouted excitedly. "What did you say? It was just that I didn't come back for two months. Why did so many things happen? Sister-in-law was kidnapped and gave birth in a dump warehouse? Who dared to kidnap her! Who had such guts to challenge our power? And why did you admit that you weren't a cripple in front of them so quickly? Aren’t you afraid that it will be a problem for you?"
So many things had happened in just a short period of time. When Jackson heard all about these at once, he was overly excited. So he asked so many questions in one breath without waiting for an
answer.
First of all Jackson had seen Elena all this time, so he had a deep impression of her. When he heard Elena had suffered so much, he couldn’t endure it. Second, Ryan admitted that he was not a lame in front of the Monor Family. These were overly unexpected things of him.
Ryan looked down slightly to conceal the expression of his eyes and said slowly. “It's only a matter of time before I admit it. I just want to buy over the Monor family. It doesn't matter to me whether I pretend to be crippled or not.”
He paused and his tone had a deep sorrow, “Right now, the thing I'm most worried is Elena. She is stimulated. She can’t recognize anyone. She doesn’t let me even to come closer to her. I don't know how long she can hold on like this. I really want to kill those people who hurt her."
At the end of his sentence, Ryan gritted his teeth with a ferocious expression on his face. He must return the suffering that Elena had suffered during this period of time to those people a thousand times over.
Looking at the man in front of him, who was as fierce as a beast at this time, Jackson swallowed his saliva. He hesitated for a moment but finally couldn’t hold it and said in a low voice.
"But have you ever thought about how big of an impact this matter would have on you? Now all the people know that you can walk, what if they decided to attack?"
Even though it was true that Elena had suffered too much, but Jackson felt that Ryan’s decision was too impulsive. This matter could be slowly resolved, but he had to use the power of Western Europe. This was a bit of a waste of talent.
Hearing Jackson’s words, Ryan smiled bitterly. His words were filled with deep self-mockery and helplessness. "If I can't even protect my own wife, what's the point of me doing all this? My wife has become like this in front of my own eyes. She can't even recognize me as her husband. How can I feel good about this? The reason why I created so much power is because I want to protect the people I care about. But what happened now? My wife almost died and my children came into this world in such a situation. As a husband and a father, I am totally a failure.”
Whether what he did was reasonable or not, it didn’t matter anymore. He made such a big empire just because he wanted to protect the people around him. But now he couldn’t protect his own woman. How could he feel good about it?
“But…” Jackson still wanted to refute but Ryan interrupted him.
“I know what you want to say. But the truth would be revealed sooner or later. So what is the point of hiding it so hard? By the way, the condition isn’t as worse as five years ago. So it can be considered as a good thing.”
Ryan didn't regret it. Whether he was impulsive or not wasn’t important anymore. Now the only thing what he wanted was Elena standing in front of him safely.
After listening to the whole situation, Jackson finally nodded his head. "Ai, what you said makes sense. But you have to investigate this matter thoroughly. I think we are missing something.”
Jackson paused and looked at Ryan seriously, “Roman and Amanda shouldn't have thought of such a thorough way to take revenge on you. There must be something fishy about this. "
Jackson had been in Hai City for a long time, so he had some understanding about the matters of the Monor family. He was very clear about Roman's way of handling things.
Although this man had the title of a well-known figure in the Hai City, he was just an idiot in his eyes.
