Chapter 73
Hope opened her eyes and found herself at an unknown place. “How are you feeling?” Logan asked as he held her hand while Paul rushed to bring the doctor.
Hope gazed at him and propped up on her elbow to get up. Logan though asked her to stay in bed, but she didn’t listen to him. “You saved us,” she murmured when spotted a bandage around his hand.
“Did you get injured?” Hope asked with a concern.
“It’s a small wound.” Logan pulled away his hand, so that she would worry more. As hist fell upon the doctor approaching them with Paul, he stood up from his seat.
The doctor checked Hope’s vitals before discharging her. Paul told Logan he would drive the car and went ahead of them to bring the car out of the parking lot.
After they reached home, Logan asked Paul to stay the night in the villa. “You must be tired too. Camila had already readied the guest room, where you’ll be staying,” he stated. Hope also insisted on his stay. Thus, Paul couldn’t refuse their offer and decided to stay there.
“Let’s see each other at dinner,” Logan opined and left with Hope for his room.
As they arrived in their bedroom, Hope sat on the bed and let out a sigh. “Logan, thank you for saving us. I remember you took your Lycan form. I was blank in that situation. I am such a weakling,” she murmured.
Logan sat beside her and took her both hands in his. “Hope, you weren’t weak there. Anyone would be panicked in such a situation. You did what I asked you and remained steadfast until we were out of the lift.” He realized she was afraid of darkness, but he wanted to make her feel better before talking about it.
He rubbed his hands with hers after he noticed how they were still trembling.
Hope moved closer to him and rested her temple on his shoulder. “Logan, I heard weird voices. Screams of a woman as if she was in so much pain,” she shared with him.
“What it could be?” Logan asked while he continued to draw circles on the back of her palm using the thumb.
“Why do I think it was my mother’s scream? I was so little that time, I didn’t remember anything. Perhaps it was her during the accident, Hope stated as she tried to connect the dots.
Logan drew her close to him and embraced her. He stroked her hair with tenderness. “I won’t let anything happen to you, Hope. Don’t feel low thinking you did nothing to

help me there. We get panic sometimes even if we are stronger,” he asserted, making her feel more better and comfortable.
“Is the wound deep?” Hope suddenly asked and held his right hand after pulling away from him. She looked at the bandage and then at him. “I think it is deep, that’s why you. have to use a bandage. The steel cables aren’t easy to hold. You are truly a superhero,” she said and smiled.
“A superhero?” Logan was amused to hear such a compliment.
“Hmm… My superhero and my savior,” Hope affirmed while peering into his eyes.
“That’s the best compliment I’ve ever heard, Hope,” Logan replied with a smile. The tips. of his fingers caressed her both cheeks as he brushed away the loose tiny curls from blocking the view of her face to him.
He leaned close and k*ssed her gently. They nibbled on each other’s l*ps for a few seconds before withdrawing. “You’ve become a part of me,” he said. He planted a soft k*ss at the crown of her head and told her to freshen up.
“Hmm. It will be difficult for you to wash yourself. So, I’ll help you wash. Your hand should heal soon,” Hope whispered against her l*ps before standing up.”
“Okay,” Logan responded with a smile and watched her head inside the washroom.
After ten minutes, she came out with a quick shower. “Why haven’t you undressed yet?” Hope asked and removed his blazer first, followed by his shirt.
“I have prepared the hot water bathtub for you. You’ll feel relaxed,” she said and caressed his tresses.
“I always feel relaxed around you,” Logan said with a smile. He went in with her and undressed himself fully before submerging into the hot water tub. Hope washed his hair after placing his head on the n*eck support while he would k*ss her randomly, sometimes on the l*ps, or arms or the cheeks. While doing so, his right hand remained outside the water.
“Logan, you deserve to be happy,” Hope suddenly pronounced as she washed his shoulders using the soap. “For some reason, I felt you must be blaming yourself for this accident. But let me tell you. You didn’t do anything, okay?” Her hand cupped his cheek.
Earlier, his mind was insecure but now, with her words, he felt, he got stronger with her presence around him. So, the thought he had where he blamed himself for today’s accident, completely vanished from his mind.
“Yeah. I don’t blame myself,” Logan admitted.

Hope smiled warmly and k*ssed the center of his forehead. After she helped him in washing, she gave him a bathrobe, which he wore and asked Hope to wait for him outside.
He headed to the walk-in closet from there and wore a casual pair of clothes. As he entered the bedroom, he found Hope was on a call with Roaxana, asking about her well-being. He couldn’t help but smile seeing how concerned she was for the other members of his family.
Logan hugged her from behind, thus startling her.
“Sister Roaxana, I need to hang up. Take care. I’ll see you tomorrow,” Hope said.
“You too, take care, Hope. Such accidents happen. Tell my brother not to be worried,” Roaxana said from the other side. She hung up the call and put it aside.
“Hope is a real friend. She cares so much for me,” Roaxana murmured and got out of bed. She folded the duvet and thought to go for a walk as she now felt way better than before.
She tied her hair in a ponytail and picked up her wallet. Upon reaching the living room, William spotted her and asked about her health.
“Grandpa, the fever is gone. I feel better now,” Roaxana replied with a smile. “I’m going out for a walk. Enjoy your tea time,” she said and walked away.
Roaxana walked on the footpath while capturing her surroundings views. “The nature is so lovely,” she murmured.
“So, you are!”
“Isaac!” Roaxana exclaimed in a surprise to hear Isaac’s voice. “What are you doing here?” She remembered how she confronted with him last night.
“Well, I thought to check on you,” Isaac said.
“I’m fine now. You can see that,” Roaxana answered. “Sorry for last night. My mood was not good,” she stated.
“I forgive you,” Isaac said with a smile.
“I cannot marry you,” Roaxana pronounced.
“I understand,” Isaac stated.
“Thank you.” She smiled at him for being understanding. “So, why are you here?”
“I told you I wanted to see you,” Isaac replied. “I have decided to pursue on you in a

more gentle way,” he affirmed.
Roaxana opened her mouth to speak, but words didn’t came out of her mouth.
“Roaxana. I need a woman like you in my life. I couldn’t sleep the entire night because I was worried for you. It never happened before. I know, you’ve a lot of personal things going on. but let’s just stay as friends for the time being, he suggested to her.
Roaxana couldn’t refuse his offer as he was quite polite and then, she didn’t want to hurt him. “Alright. But it’s tough to sway my heart. No one could ever do that,” Roaxana stated with a confident smile.
Isaac smiled and told her he would definitely succeed in doing that. He observed a thin hair strand resting on her cheek, so he brushed it away. “I have never felt attracted to any woman either. But you are different. I want to know more about you… Of course, as a friend first.” he asserted.
Roaxana hummed and turned around. “Let’s go ahead. I wish to go to the park,” she stated and began walking. Although she missed Ryan, she had decided to forget him. If he couldn’t value her, then she would do the same.
