A Love Forgotten Novel by Webfic

The silence lasted so long that I thought that Elijah had muted his phone.

Then, his voice came through again just as I was getting impatient and was about to end the call. He said, “Ari, it’s all a misunderstanding. Today is Jocelyn’s birthday. I just took her out for a birthday dinner and gave her a gift I had promised her long ago to give. I truly…”

I smiled faintly and could feel a strange lightness in my chest as I replied, “Mr. Linden, thank you for showing me how much of a fool I’ve been in this marriage. You’ve used that explanation quite often, haven’t you?”

“Everything has been a misunderstanding. Nothing’s going on between us. You’re just overthinking things. Stop making a fuss and causing trouble. Haha… Elijah continued to salvage the conversation.

“Well then, Mr. Linden. I hope you and Ms. Cornell have a wonderful dinner tonight. May you be there to celebrate all her future birthdays too,” I said softly.

Then, I ended the call without waiting for his response and immediately blocked the number he’d called. me with

Now, my world was peaceful again.

After the call, I took a deep gulp of water from the glass by my bed. I felt exhausted.

Life without Elijah would be so much less draining.

Suddenly, a gentle knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

I called out for the person outside to come in.

It was Logan. He had just returned from the company and was dressed in a completely different outfit today. Even his hair was slicked back.

He wore a sleek, black silk suit that perfectly highlighted his tall frame, and a pair of gold–rimmed glasses was sitting on his nose. Meanwhile, his dark, striped tie complemented the sult’s luxurious fabric and amplified his innate elegance.

The man before me was so handsome that he looked like a figure straight out of a myth.

I was completely stunned. Elijah had nothing on Logan when it came to looks.

Logan’s previous down–to–earth demeanor was just him hiding his brilliance. But behind that facade, he exuded an undeniable charisma that was utterly captivating.

Logan caught my stare and smiled slightly as he explained, “I’m sorry I’m back so late. I had to host some important foreign clients today.”

I hesitantly averted my gaze and responded, “Logan, don’t you have any social engagements to attend to?” Logan casually sat on the couch by my bed and shook his head. “I’m not going. I’m not good at drinking. I let the PR team handle it.”

I fidgeted with my phone and felt slightly shy all of a sudden. “Um.. Anyway, I’m fine now. The doctor said

I can return home to rest.”

Logan gently smiled as he studied my face and nodded. “I know. Frank called me at four in the afternoon to update me on your condition.”

He then glanced at his phone and seemed to be looking at a photo.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

He said, “Frank said the swelling in your brain has improved, but you still need to go through two more days of IV treatment. He said that your arm had been treated as well and that the injury on your waist was just a soft tissue bruise.

“He also mentioned that he had changed the dressings on your other scrapes. That’s all. It’s nothing serious.”

I curiously leaned over and saw the detailed report and even an MRI image that Frank had sent him.

I felt moved. “Logan, you were still concerned about my health even while you were hosting important clients.”

Logan adjusted his glasses and smiled. “Of course. I was going to take you for your check–up but got tied up at work.”

I felt my heart race under his intense gaze and quickly turned away. “Logan, you don’t have to worry about me so much. I’m truly fine.”

Suddenly, Logan leaned in closer.

Startled, I instinctively leaned back.

However, all Logan did was stand up to check my IV drip.

I felt embarrassed for overreacting. Something was clearly wrong with my brain. Logan wasn’t even doing anything at all.

Then, he faintly said, “Don’t ever say that again. It’s my responsibility to care for you.” He added, “You’re Jonathan’s sister. He’ll blame me if I don’t look after you.”

So, it turned out that it was because of my brother.
