Logan’s mood was written all over his face, so obvious that Isabella couldn’t possibly ignore it.
Her heart dropped hard, and Isabella couldn’t help but wonder if she’d accidentally said something wrong.
But that didn’t add up. Normally, whenever Isabella said something like this, Logan would shoot it down right away.
But now, seeing his expression change, Isabella didn’t dare say another word. She just trailed after him quietly.
After they’d walked for a while, Logan finally broke the silence. “It’s fine that you thought of me when you were in danger, but Isabella, no matter how much you want to make money, you can’t just throw everything aside like that.
“Even if you’ve never actually been to that place, you must’ve at least heard about it. Going there, don’t you know what people would think? It’s basically asking for…”
Logan paused, realizing his words were coming out a bit too harshly. He sighed and said, “Just let it go. It’s all in the past now. Just promise me you won’t do something like that again, okay?”

aistened to him; her breathing grew uneven.
Logan’s reaction was nothing like what she’d expected, and she didn’t dare say anything else.
She’d thought that after she brought it up, Logan would just continue yesterday’s topic and mention when she’d get the 5 million.
But now, he didn’t bring it up at all. Isabella felt too awkward to ask, and the conversation stalled awkwardly between them. When they got to the discharge desk, Isabella saw Logan standing off to the side, looking seriously preoccupied. Not wanting to think too much about it, she quickly stepped forward and handled the paperwork.
Once she was done, she said softly, a little hesitant, “Alright, Logan, let’s go.”
Logan finally nodded, and the two of them headed out together.
Just as they stepped outside the inpatient building, about to head to the parking lot, Logan spotted a familiar figure. When he saw Eliana heading toward the outpatient department by herself, Logan’s hand tightened into a fist, and he found himself speeding up without even thinking.
But as he got closer, Logan realized Eliana wasn’t alone after all. Nathan was right there with her.
The more Logan thought about it, the more off everything seemed. He stormed over and grabbed Eliana’s arm, jaw tight. “No wonder you’ve been giving me attitude all day. You have already got yourself another man, haven’t you?
“You keep denying you’re pregnant. Could it be that you are carrying his kid?”
The moment that thought hit him, Logan lost it. He could barely hold himself back and threw a punch at Nathan, who was standing right next to Eliana.
But Nathan caught Logan’s wrist mid–swing and punched him right in the face.
Logan stumbled back from the blow, then shouted, “You’re hooking up with my wife, and you still have the nerve to hit me?”
Logan made sure to yell it loud enough for everyone around to hear, and sure enough, all eyes turned their way in an
instant.

As the crowd started to gather, Eliana’s gaze landed on Isabella, who was standing behind Logan. “So, what exactly were you doing coming out of the inpatient department with your dear?”
“Of course, it’s normal for me to bring her if she’s not feeling well! Logan shot back, his voice loud and defensive.
“Oh, really? So it’s perfectly fine for you to bring her here when she’s sick, but when Nathan got hurt saving me, and I come with him for a check–up, suddenly that’s a problem?” Eliana didn’t bother explaining herself.
She just threw Logan’s words right back at him.
“How is that even the same? Isabella’s basically my little sister. Of course, it’s normal for me to bring her to the hospital.
“But you two? Weren’t you a thing before?” Logan shot back, deliberately raising his voice so everyone could hear.
But as soon as Logan said that, Eliana just laughed out loud. “Oh Didn’t you and Isabella used to date, too? Logan, when it comes to twisting the story, no one can beat you.”
She added, “Ever since Isabella came back, you drop everything and run to her the moment she calls, like you’re under some kind of spell.
u let her get all buddy–buddy with my son, and now even the kid is begging to swap moms. He wants her to be his …other instead of me.
“After all that, you still have the nerve to tell me she’s just like a sister to you? Seriously, Logan, do you even hear how ridiculous you sound?”
Eliana scoffed, glaring at him, “She’s been back for half a year, and I’ve been tearing myself up inside that whole time. I finally managed to pull myself together and decided to divorce you, to live my own life.
“And now, after all this, you want to flip the script and pin everything on me?”
Logan couldn’t remember when Eliana had gotten so savage with her comebacks.
Hearing her clap back, the crowd couldn’t help but start whispering among themselves, clearly enjoying the drama.
“Look at that, classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. Guys like him are everywhere these days, cheating on their wives, never owning up, and then trying to blame everything on their spouse.
“Marrying someone like him? Must’ve been cursed with the worst luck,” someone in the crowd whispered.
“For real, he’s out here showing off his mistress, strutting out of the inpatient department like it’s nothing. God knows what they were up to in there,” another person gossiped.
“And now he’s trying to throw his wife under the bus? What a joke,” someone else snorted.
“Seriously messed up. Good thing she saw through him early. No way she’d stick around with a guy like that,” another added.
The crowd’s nonstop gossip and snarky comments hit Logan like a slap to the face, and with every word, his expression just got darker.
If Eliana had rushed to explain things with Nathan, she would’ve only dug herself deeper. But instead, she fired right back at Logan, and just like that, the crowd started to sympathize with her.
When he saw people sneaking photos, Logan’s face was livid. He gritted his teeth and barked out. “Eliana, you think running your mouth is enough to fool everyone here?
“You kept swearing you weren’t carrying my child. So whose kids it, huh? Is it his? Just admit it!”

As soon as Logan said that, Eliana honestly wanted to roll her eyes.
For the first time, she realized just how ugly Logan could get when he was pushed to the edge.

“Logan, I’ve told you a million times, I’m not pregnant! Can’t you understand plain words?” Eliana snapped, her patience wearing thin.
“Still won’t admit it, huh? So it’s really not my kid, is it?” Logan sported, gritting his teeth. “Alright then, since you keep insisting you’re not pregnant, how about you get checked out right here in front of everyone?
“Let’s see who’s the real liar, me or you!”
As soon as Logan said that, Eliana was genuinely stunned; she just couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
She honestly couldn’t believe Logan had sunk so low, parading their private life in front of everyone like it was some kind of bargaining chip.
