From Rejected Son in Law to Empire Heir

Chapter 19: New Heart, Old Misunderstandings

Logan was beyond amused that he almost burst out laughing, Adriana was taking the glory for what he did. However, instead of exposing her lies, he decided to watch and see how well she faked it 

 "You're too kind Adriana, unlike some people who tried to lie and deceive us about having a familial relationship with the CEO." Stacy said, giving Logan a hateful glare.

  "Just ignore that clown." Leslie said, sneering at Logan. "A lowlife like you who tried to claim Astral Corp's CEO is your butler. How pathetic."

 Ava walked over to Adriana with a warm smile. "You helped my family and I would like to repay that. How about I buy you dinner? Please, don't refuse me."

 "Okay, I won't refuse you but if you don't mind, I'll be bringing my older brother. He has always wanted to meet you. If that's okay with you…" Adriana requested and glanced at Logan. Ava agreed immediately.

 Logan watched how his wife made plans to have dinner with this ridiculous woman and her stupid brother the coming day. He decided not to say anything and just went with the flow… eager to see where this would lead.

 The next day, Alfred delivered wonderful news to Logan. “Young Master, we found  a donor for Mia, and it's a perfect match!”

 Logan's heart soared with joy as he heard these words from Alfred over the phone. “That's good news,  Alfred.” He almost forgot that this was one of the great benefits of being a member of a powerful family. “Have you made the necessary arrangements?”

 “Of course, Young Master Logan,” Alfred spoke with so much happiness. “I've had the heart delivered to your hospital. Also, I've ordered the chief residents to assign only the best surgeons to perform the transplant. I believe your daughter will be fine after this.”

 Tears welled up in Logan's eyes as the thought of seeing his daughter's smile again made him so emotional. When Ava left earlier to go have dinner with Adriana and her brother to thank him for something that the fraudster didn't even do, he stayed with Mia, monitoring her condition closely. He even fell asleep, it was Alfred’s call that woke him up. 

 An hour later, Ava rushed over with teary eyes. “Logan, have you heard? A heart  has been found for our daughter!” She rushed over to wrap her arms around her husband, placing her head on his chest as she cried tears of joy.

  Logan returned the hug with closed eyes, “I know, my love. Our daughter will finally be okay.”

Ava suddenly pulled away from the hug. “But wait, what about the operation f*e and the cost of the heart? Logan, we will have to pay for…”

 Logan cut her off. “I already paid for it.”

 Ava began to worry, but she held her tongue, not saying anything for now. 

 The parents sat near the operation room as they waited while Mia was undergoing the heart transplant. From time to time, Logan would hold Ava's shaking hands to calm her down. A single minute felt like a year had passed by but they continued to wait. 

 Two hours later, a female doctor walked out and both Logan and Ava rushed over to her asking how Mia's operation had been.  

 The doctor smiled at them. “Youre very lucky to have such a strong daughter like Mia. The operation was successful.”

 “Oh my god!” Ava almost fell to the ground, but Logan steadied her in time. The two spent the next hour in each other's embrace. They were not allowed to see Mia as it was already nighttime. 

 Therefore, they had no choice but to go home for the night. 

 At home, Logan offered to cook Ava because she was extremely tired from worrying all day about Mia's operation, he found out that they had not restocked their food supplies and he decided to order an amazing cuisine worth $7,000. Ava was shocked when she saw the meal but she kept quiet and ate her fill. 

 After eating, they both went to bed, and that was when Ava couldn't hold her thoughts anymore. 

 “Logan, I hope you've started job hunting since you no longer have a job. If not, I have a friend at another company who I can refer you to. They're looking for a gatekeeper, but the salary is much smaller than the one you earned at Synergy Corp.”

 “Hold on, Love.” Logan interrupted with a confused expression. “Why do I need to apply as a gatekeeper at another company?”

 Ava's mood suddenly went bad as she glared  at Logan while raising her voice. “Because we need to start saving for the damn money you borrowed from loan sharks!”

 “But we're not in any debt.” 

 Ava looked up, unamused.
