“Forget him?” Savanna frowned, and her tears began to flow. She looked pale. Savanna managed to
squeeze out a sentence.
“How can I forget him?”
Mandel was her son!
If he was gone, she couldn‘t live.
At that moment, Savanna realized that after so many things, she returned to New York only because of
Mandel. Mandel was her only hope.
However, the man she once loved the most, destroyed her hope.
Savanna grabbed Brandon‘s sleeve and did not allow him to leave. She shouted in a trembling voice,
“Brandon, I regret it.”
“I regret giving Mandel to you.”
Brandon‘s heart was bleeding.
Those miserable days in Philadelphia were difficult. But he knew that Savanna gave Mandel to him out
of trust.
Because of her trust, no matter how bitter and tiring it was, Brandon gritted his teeth and persevered.
And now, Savanna said that she regretted it.
Brandon smiled with tears as he said in a hoarse voice, “Yes, you shouldn‘t have let him live with me. I
failed to live up to your trust. You shouldn‘t give up then.”
Savanna looked at Brandon. The tears in his eyes surprised Savanna. She didn‘t believe her eyes.
When Savanna took a closer look, there were no tears in his eyes anymore.
How could Brandon cry?
“What happened to Mandel? Tell me, Brandon.”
Savanna was begging Brandon. She would do everything for her child.
Brandon opened his mouth and almost blurted out. But he knew he had already let Savanna down. He
could not let Savanna suffer anymore.
Therefore, Brandon said, “He’s fine. Don‘t worry.”
Hearing this, Savanna smiled, and she stopped crying. “Swear that if anything happens to Mandel, Mrs.
Young will die.”
Savanna didn‘t want to do this, but she had no other choice.
Giselle died. Other than Lorena, Brandon would not care about anyone.
Brandon stared at Savanna calmly. Savanna knew that there must be something behind this calm.
“Savanna, do you think Lorena can control me?”
Savanna had gone crazy. She spoke without thinking, “I don‘t care about that. As long as you swear, I
will believe you.”
Brandon would not swear. He turned around and was about to leave. Savanna stopped him. Brandon
was annoyed.
“Savanna, you‘re married. If your husband sees that you are with your ex–husband, he will be jealous.
Please pay attention to your actions. It‘s a public place.”
Brandon kept his distance from her.
Savanna smiled and started crying. “Are you talking about Lucas? Lucas and I have never been
married. Lucas married
Stella.”
Brandon was stunned by the name “Stella“. He was angry.
Brandon said, “I‘m not talking about Lucas, but Leo. Aren‘t you married to Leo? Leo loves you so much
and treats you so well. Since you have married him, you can have your own child. You will forget
Mandel one day. In any case, you haven‘t raised him, so you will forget him easily.”
Brandon‘s words stunned Savanna.
It took her a long time to understand Brandon‘s words. Savanna said, “Who told you that I was married
to Leo? I have never raised Mandel, but it does not mean that I don‘t care about him. Brandon, why do
you have to belittle me for your personal interests? Won‘t it trouble your conscience?”
Brandon put on a cold smile. “Conscience? Savanna, do you think you are qualified to talk about
conscience with me?
“I don‘t care if you and Leo are married. From now on, your business has nothing to do with me.”
“What do you mean by that? Back then, if you treated me a little better, I wouldn‘t have faked my death
and left New York.”
Savanna had just finished her words when she felt a terrible pain below her stomach. It was so painful
that she could not breathe. Savanna covered the right side of her body and slowly bent down.
She looked pale and sweated profusely.
Brandon frowned. “Savanna, what‘s wrong?”
“It hurts.”
Savanna murmured.
She felt dizzy. The moment she fell, Brandon reached over and hugged her.
“Savanna.”
When Savanna was about to lose consciousness, she seemed to hear Brandon‘s anxious cry.
After a long time, Savanna opened her eyes. Her gaze swept towards the rain outside the window.
The rain fell on the windowsill, and a few drops of rain fell from the frosted glass.
Suddenly realizing something, Savanna looked down and saw the purple quilt over her body. She was
in the hotel room where Brandon stayed.
Savanna knew it because she saw Brandon‘s black coat hanging on the hanger.
She got up and wanted to leave. But the pain came again. Savanna bent down to alleviate the pain.
Brandon opened the door and walked in.
Seeing her get up, he went to the side of the bed, picked her up by the waist, and gently placed her on
the bed.
Then, Brandon poured a cup of warm water and handed the medicine to Savanna. “The doctor gave
you this medicine. Eat it now.”
Savanna exhaled and looked indifferent. “I‘m fine. I am just too tired.”
“You are not only anemic, but...”
Brandon did not know what to say.
After Savanna fainted, he carried her back to his room and asked Seth to find a doctor. The doctor said
that Savanna could not catch a cold because of the cutting wound on her kidney. On every rainy day,
Savanna would feel great pain. One of her kidneys was now in Brandon‘s body.
They were connected in this way.
Brandon looked at Savanna‘s sleeping face. Tears ran down his cheeks.
Savanna‘s phone rang.
Brandon picked up the phone from the glass table. He was about to pass the phone to Savanna when
he saw Leo‘s name on it.
Brandon‘s fingers froze.
Savanna took the phone from Brandon and answered the phone call. “Hello.”
“Savanna, Lizeth said that you didn‘t go home for a day and night. Where did you go? Did something
happen?”
Leo‘s voice came from the other side of the line. Apparently, he was anxious and worried about
Savanna.
Savanna glanced at Brandon and lowered her voice. “I have something to do outside. Are you back?”
“Yes, I just got off the plane. Where are you? I‘ll come and pick you up.”
Leo seemed to be eager to see Savanna.
“No need. I‘ll be right back.”
With that, Savanna hung up.
Brandon lowered his eyes. He no longer looked at Savanna.
He picked up a cigarette, lit it up, walked to the window, and smoked as he looked out of the window.
Savanna took the medicine and got out of bed. She walked behind Brandon and said, “Thank you for
buying me medicine.”
With that, they fell silent.
Savanna explained, “Leo and I are just friends. It is not what you think.”
Brandon didn‘t believe Savanna‘s explanation.
Just now, he heard their conversation clearly.
Brandon didn‘t deliberately listen to their conversation, but Leo‘s voice was very loud.
Brandon‘s hand trembled slightly. “Savanna.”
He called out her name.
Then, he hugged her with the hand holding the cigarette.
He kissed Savanna on her lips fiercely, as if he wanted to leave a few marks,
Savanna‘s lips hurt, but she endured it.
Brandon didn‘t stop and wanted more. Savanna was so frightened that she quickly held his hand. She
looked up at his eyes, which were filled with anger and affection.
“Brandon, L...”
“You said that you have nothing to do with Leo. Prove it to me.”
Brandon pressed his lips against hers.
Savanna didn‘t push him away. Brandon gained a little confidence.
His wild actions intimidated Savanna.
Savanna began to resist desperately. She shouted, “Brandon, if this is the only way to see Mandel, you
can continue.”
Brandon paused. He looked extremely painful. There was a coldness in his eyes. Brandon gritted his
teeth and said word by word, “Say it again.”
