"Daddy!" Mia ran to Logan, who looked surprised but also pleased. "Hey, princess." He wanted to lift her onto the bed, but his bruised ribs didn't allow that. So Camille did it for him.

"I have a picture for you," Mia said excitedly and showed it to him. "This is our family."

Logan looked at the picture and smiled. "It's really great, Mia," he said, coughing. Mia looked at him worriedly. "Is everything okay?"

"Yes, sweetheart. I'm just thirsty. My throat is dry."

Lex, who had come in with Camille and Mia, said, "Hey, Mia, how about we get something to drink for Logan?"

"Yeah, okay." She jumped off the bed and went out with Lex. Camille smirked and looked at the half full water bottle on the table, then bent down to Logan and kissed him on the cheek. "Hi."

"Hey," he replied softly and smiled. "Did you hear what Mia said to me?"

She nodded. "I think when she saw you here yesterday it triggered something inside her."

"However, it would be better if it hadn't happened because of a car accident."

"Yes, the accident … How did it actually happen?"

He sighed. "Several unfortunate factors. I was distracted, had to think about the guys, and the driver of the other car was apparently drunk ... and then it happened."

"You shouldn't have driven alone."

He nodded. "Yes, you are right."

"It doesn't really matter, but Peggy was also here yesterday."

"So?"

"The hospital called her. Apparently she's still listed as your emergency contact."

"Oh … yes, I haven't changed it yet. I'm sorry."

She waved off. "You don't have to apologize for that. Nothing happened. We talked briefly, then she left. She wants to visit you again."

"Okay ... but you're not jealous, are you?"

"Of course not."

He grinned and pulled her closer to him. Then he suddenly frowned. "Why are you hurt?"

She shook her head. "It's not worth mentioning. I just stumbled and then fell. It wasn't bad."

She was lying, he could hear that. "Do you really think lying to me makes the situation better?"

"Logan, everything is fine. Forget it." She knew that Carlos or James would tell him the truth, but she wouldn't. The reason for this was simple. Kendall hadn't done it on purpose. That's why she didn't want to betray him. Logan looked at her sullenly, but before he could say anything else, Mia and Lex came back.


James and Carlos sat to the left and right of Logan's hospital bed, waiting for his reaction. Logan hadn't let up until they reluctantly told him about the Kendall and Camille incident. And the situation got worse when there was a knock on the door and Kendall entered the room. He saw the faces of his three friends and stopped abruptly. "Hey, guys."

Nobody answered him.

"How are you, buddy?" He asked Logan. Logan looked at him with a petrified expression on his face and said slowly, "It would be better if you hadn't hurt my girlfriend."

Kendall's face went pale, then angry. He crossed his arms. "I understand. So she had nothing better to do than tell you directly. It was clear that she-"

"No, Kendall. We told him," Carlos interrupted him, and James nodded in agreement. Kendall stared at them without saying a word, then looked back at Logan. "It wasn't an intention. You know I would never-"

"I think you should go now," Logan said calmly. Kendall looked like he wanted to yell at Logan, but then he turned around and left the hospital room. Logan sighed. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up. James looked at him seriously. "Maybe he will now understand that his behavior was stupid and that it cannot go on like this."

Logan nodded. "And what about my behavior?"

The two looked at him in confusion.

"What do you mean?" Carlos asked.

"My injuries ... the other injuries."

"Well ... it's not great that you did something like this ..." Carlos started slowly.

"But we'll forgive you anyway," James finished, patting Logan on the shoulder. "But only if you promise you'll never do it again."

"Agreed," Logan said, smiling with relief.

After being silent for a few minutes, Logan asked James, "How are things between you and Camille now?"

James smiled. "Everything is okay. And I can't wait to meet Mia."


After James and Carlos left, Logan fell asleep. At least until a nurse gently shook him up. "Mr. Mitchell?"

Logan opened his eyes. "Yes?"

"There is someone who would like to visit you. But if you'd rather go back to sleep, I'll tell the person to come back tomorrow."

"No, it's okay. Thank you."

The nurse nodded with a smile and went out. Shortly thereafter, Peggy came in. She smiled at Logan and sat down on one of the chairs. "Nice to see you awake this time."

He smiled. "How are you?"

"I wanted to ask you the same thing."

He shrugged. "I'm still alive."

"Very optimistic."

They both laughed, then they got serious again.

"I'm very happy to see you, Peg. I didn't think you'd come."

"When I got the call, I couldn't help it. I wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Yes, I understand." He was silent for a moment. "I'm sorry, Peg."

She waved off. "It's okay, Logan."

"Can we still be friends? It would be a pity if you were no longer a part of my life."

She looked at him thoughtfully. "Camille-"

"It's my decision, not Camille's."

She nodded slowly. "Okay. And when you are well again, maybe we can meet and talk about everything."

"That's a good idea," he said exhausted.

"Okay, I think I'll leave you alone now. You look tired."

"It was a long day. Many visitors."

She got up, hesitated for a moment, and then hugged him carefully. "Get well."

"Thanks. I'll call you."

She smiled, waved to him and went out. Shortly thereafter, Logan fell asleep again.
