Chapter 1061

Josefina stood up, her face a mix of worry and curiosity.

"Logan," she called out as she started walking toward him. Without a moment's hesitation, Logan spun around and took off like he was being chased by a pack of

wild dogs.

Josefina turned to Cole with an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Cole. I have no idea what's gotten into Logan. Let me go check on him."

Her concern for Logan gnawed away at her. Not wanting to be left behind, Makiko got up and followed Josefina.

"Did I scare him?" Makiko asked softly, uncertainty in her voice.

Cole joined in, trailing closely behind Makiko.

"Makiko, why don't you wait here for a minute," Josefina suggested, quickening her pace to put some distance between them.

Just then, Logan reappeared, gripping a bucket, his eyes as cold as a winter's night. He marched past Josefina, muttering something under his breath, and then hurried forward.

Before anyone could react, Logan hurled the bucket's contents—foul, stinking slop -right onto Makiko and Cole.

The stench was overpowering, leaving Makiko and Cole stunned and frozen in place. Josefina and Linden were equally speechless. What just happened? Did Logan really just soak them? Why on earth would he do that?

Josefina opened her mouth, but words failed her as she faced Makiko.

"Logan, what on earth-" she began.

But then Logan suddenly crumpled to the ground, unconscious.

Josefina was at a loss for words. The scene was pure chaos.

"Missus, we need to get Logan to the hospital," Linden urged, his voice urgent. "Yes, the hospital," Josefina agreed.

Harry and Asher quickly lifted Logan, and Josefina followed closely behind, the group swiftly disappearing from Makiko's view.

Makiko stood there, too furious to speak. Cole felt the same, the foul odor clinging to him making his stomach churn. He gagged, but no sound came out, leaving Makiko even more frustrated. She felt like she could strangle someone!

Linden awkwardly tried to explain, "Logan, well, he's a bit... off. Once he wakes up, I'm sure the missus will have him apologize to you."

Cole was incredulous. "An apology? You think that'll fix this? If apologies solved everything, what would be the point of having police?"

Logan was taken to the hospital, and Josefina insisted on a thorough

check-up for him. Harry relayed the entire debacle to Oliver, seeking

guidance on what to do next.

Oliver, upon hearing the news, couldn't help but chuckle. "Logan's got some guts, doesn't he?"

Harry was less amused. "Mr. Oliver, Cole and Makiko are definitely upset. They won't just let this go. Logan's still unconscious, and once he wakes up, the missus will want to get to the bottom of this."

"Got it," Oliver replied before hanging up.

While Logan underwent tests, Josefina sat outside, her sighs heavy with worry.

"Josie."

Startled by the familiar voice, she looked up to see Oliver's concerned gaze. He sat beside her, taking her hand in his.

"Is this about Logan?"

Josefina nodded softly. "I can't figure out why Logan would do something like this." "Does Logan know Makiko?" Oliver speculated.

"I considered that, but they've never met. Makiko and Cole are definitely angry. We should go apologize later."

No matter how she looked at it, Logan was in the wrong, and she had to make amends af Brandon found out, she feared it would put Oliver in a tight spot.

"Don't worry about me," Oliver reassured her, his hands enveloping hers.

Their eyes met, and Josefina managed a smile.

"Oliver, why are you always so good to me?"

"Because I love you," he replied simply.
