growing up in a harsh environment. Yet he had cried for her more than once.
Savanna felt her heart tighten. She bit her lips and softly said, “Okay.”
Savanna turned around to leave.
She felt her arm tighten. Caught off guard, she spun around and then fell into the man’s broad chest.
Brandon lowered his head and kissed the mask. Tears dripped down the mask, landing on Savanna’s hair, burning her heart.
Savanna felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She instinctively raised her hand and hugged Brandon tightly. She pressed herself against Brandon’s chest, listening to his lively and rhythmic heartbeat.
In the morning.
Mandel woke up. Hearing from Lizeth that Savanna was back, he quickly ran into the master bedroom in great joy.
“Savanna…”
Savanna didn’t sleep well. After eating supper, she
chatted with Brandon for a while. It was already four o’clock in the morning when she returned to the master bedroom. She tossed and turned and finally fell asleep. It was a night of light sleep. Mandel’s voice made her immediately open her eyes.
Looking at his son’s big bright eyes, Savanna smiled.
Mandel saw that Savanna was wearing a fox mask. At first, he was startled, but then he reacted. The smile on his face slowly faded. “Savanna, it doesn’t matter. No matter what, you will always be my mother. My father also said that he will never like
someone else. You are the only one he loves.”
Mandel was five years old. Of course, he knew that Savanna had been tortured by illness recently. Although the little fellow did not ask Savanna what was going on with her face, he guessed that the poison must have damaged Savanna’s face. His logic told him that Savanna wouldn’t wear a mask if her face was alright.
Hearing Mandel’s words, Savanna felt like crying, yet she controlled herself.
Mandel was filled with the joy of getting back something that he once lost.
Mandel followed Savanna wherever she went after breakfast, afraid that she would once again disappear.
Lizeth wanted to send him to kindergarten, but he refused to go. In the end, Savanna had to promise Mandel again and again that she would not leave.
Savanna promised to send him to the kindergarten personally, only then did Mandel agree to go to school.
After taking the divorce certificate, Lizeth and Seth started to date openly. They sat on the swing in the yard, looking intimate.
Seth looked up and saw Brandon standing by the
window of the study.
Seth released Lizeth quickly.
Lizeth blinked and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Mr. Young saw us….”
Seth dared not raise his head. His voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
Seeing his fearful expression, Lizeth smiled, “Our love is not against the law, nor morality.”
Lizeth turned around, refusing to talk to Seth.
Seeing that Lizeth was angry, Seth explained, “You misunderstood. You know what’s going on between Mr. Young and Mrs. Young. We will agitate Mr. Young if we act like this.”
Lizeth said, “Do you think of yourself as a slave of the Young family? I don’t think you need to care that much about Mr. Young.”
Seth pursed his lips without speaking.
Lizeth cursed in frustration.
Lizeth said, “Seth, why don’t you ask Mr. Young to visit Andrew? He is said to be very powerful. He doesn’t only know about the past and present but also knows about people’s past and present lives. He also knows some sort of magic. Maybe he can cure Savanna’s illness.”
Seth snorted and said nothing.
Lizeth felt uncomfortable. “Don’t look down on me. Andrew traveled around all year. Maybe you won’t be able to find him.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Seth asked, “Are you serious?”
“Yes,” Lizeth said.
Seth said, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Lizeth said, “I was afraid that you would say that I was superstitious. Besides, the medical team has been developing medicine for Savanna. I was afraid that if she couldn’t be cured, you would blame me, So…”
Seth was speechless.
After careful consideration, Seth decided to tell Brandon what Lizeth said.
Brandon was sitting in a chair. The crystal lamp cast a shadow on his face. His expression was unclear. He lit a cigarette and lowered his head to smoke. Because he used too much force, the muscles on his cheeks were deeply sunken. Seth could see that Brandon was depressed. The medicine research team was facing problems that they couldn’t solve.
One cigarette was finished.
Brandon spat out the smoke in his lungs and said in a hoarse voice, “Where is this person?”
Seth soon found Andrew’s residence, which was located in the most remote area in New York
Brandon stood up and put on his coat. While putting on his clothes, he ordered Seth, “Don’t tell her for the time being. I’ll go take a look with Jim first.”
Seth agreed. He knew that Savanna’s health was more important than anything else for Brandon. Brandon went to Andrew because the medicine team was facing challenges. He had no other choice.
Brandon walked out of the study.
He went downstairs and walked out of the villa. Just as he got into the car, someone called him.
Just as the call connected, Aldo’s voice drifted into
his ears. “Mr. Young, your grandma is ill. Can you come back?”
“No,” Brandon answered clearly.
Aldo said, “Mr. Young, it’s true this time. She had been cramping and she is having a high fever. She has been calling your name.”
Brandon hardened his heart when he thought of how Lorena had forced him and Savanna into such a desperate situation. “I’m very busy. Don’t call me
again.”
Aldo shouted anxiously, “Mr. Young…”
The phone was already hung up. The beeping sound echoed in Aldo’s ears, making Aldo anxious.
Lorena was really sick!
Ever since she took the Heart Pill the night before yesterday, Lorena started to feel wrong, both mentally and physically.
Aldo poured out the rest of the Heart Pills in the bottle and went to the medical appraisal center. The result was written in Spanish, which made him stunned.
After Savanna’s incident, Aldo had gone to find the bottle Savanna threw away, and the texts were exactly the same.
Bang!
Aldo felt like his head was about to burst.
Savanna’s bottle was relatively small. And she didn’t take a lot. Lorena had a terrible heart attack the night before yesterday. So, he took more medicine. Lorena took at least two pills.
Savanna was still being tortured by illness although she only took a small amount. Yet now, Lorena took so much…
Aldo felt numb. He didn’t dare to think further.
He was the person in charge of the medicine, and he brought the medicine to Lorena. But he did not know that the medicine had been replaced. Thinking of this, Aldo was covered in a cold sweat.
Brandon returned after sending Mandel to the kindergarten. When she came back, Brandon was not home. She thought he had gone to the company. Yet after she picked Mandel up from the kindergarten at sunset hour, Brandon still didn’t return.
At the night, Savanna could not bear it any longer. She asked Seth, “Where is Brandon? Is he coming back tonight?”
Seth said, “Mr. Young is on a business trip for a few days. He left in a hurry this morning and didn’t have
time to tell you, Mrs. Young.’
