Savanna suppressed her emotions that were about to collapse.She took a breath and said, "So, we
have to speak and do things fairly.We can't be biased."
Brandon said, "Tye has been autistic since childhood.Mandel was different.He had suffered too much
and finally managed to get out of the hospital.I just felt a little sorry for him.In fact, the two children were
my treasures."
Brandon did not want to hear what Savanna was about to say and turned to go in.Savanna had no
choice.
When she returned to the shadow room, she saw that Brandon was bending half of his leg and
seriously putting together the torn pieces of the illustration.
Mandel squatted next to him and helped him with the broken pieces of the illustration.
Savanna's gaze fell on the pair of big hands and small hands.
Suddenly, she felt that their hands were sharp and beautiful like bamboo shoots.Savanna did not see
Tye.She was shocked.She looked around and saw a quiet figure in the dark corner.
Savanna walked over and pulled the child into her arms.She rested her chin on the child's forehead
and closed her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you.Just now, they were just too angry.You shouldn't have smashed his
things.In the future, whatever you want, mom will buy it for you."
Savanna brought Tye out of the shadow room.
When they arrived at the lobby, Savanna gently rubbed Tye's hair and handed him a pen and a piece of
paper.
"Write down what you want and give it to Lizeth.Lizeth will have someone buy it."
Tye looked at the pen in Savanna’s hand, then looked at Savanna.
Finally, he took the pen and paper and wrote seriously on the glass cabinet.
Savanna walked into the kitchen, and Lizeth was cleaning the kitchen.
Savanna said, "Lizeth, get Jim to design another shadow room."
Lizeth nodded.
Savanna comforted Tye and went upstairs, just in time to see that Brandon was also holding Mandel
out of the children's shadow room.
Savanna glanced at the drawing in the man's hand.
"Is it done?"
"Yes," Brandon replied.
"Is Tye alright?"
He pretended to ask.
Savanna said, "He's fine now.He's resting downstairs."
As he spoke, Savanna’s gaze swept past Brandon and landed on the little person behind him.
Brandon might have seen through Savanna, thinking that she wanted to blame Mandel.He pulled
Mandel behind him.
Savanna withdrew her gaze and looked at Brandon with an obviously displeased expression.
Brandon did not mind and walked past her with Mandel.
In the evening, at dinner time, Brandon went out after receiving a phone call.
As for what exactly happened, he did not say it to Savanna.
In the afternoon, the couple disagreed on the matter of the two children.
Therefore, Brandon did not want to say anything.
Savanna did not want to ask.
After dinner, Lizeth cleaned up the bowls and tableware.
Perhaps they were children who had been lonely for too long.
The two children had a great quarrel in the afternoon, but now they got along well with each other.
The two played the game of "hide and seek".
Tye could not speak.He closed his eyes and grabbed Mandel.
When he opened his eyes, he smiled brightly.
Looking at the two children playing around, Savanna smiled.She went to the balcony to get some air.
Savanna opened iMessage and sent a message to Brandon.
"Are you engaging in social activities?"
After the message was sent, Savanna stared intently at the message screen.
After a full ten minutes, Brandon still did not reply.
Lizeth took a bath for the two children and helped them to sleep.
Savanna returned to her room and opened the chat page.It was still the same sentence that she sent.
In the past, Brandon was not so stingy.
He would reply to her messages.
Even if he was angry with her, he would reply to her messages in less than two hours.
Savanna found it unbelievable that Mandel seemed to like Mandel very much and ignored Tye.
A bad feeling rose in her heart.She took out her phone to make a call.
The one on the other end of the line quickly picked up.
Jim's voice entered her ears.
"Mrs.Cassel."
"Jim, do you know where Seth was sent to by Brandon?"
On the other side, Jim was a little confused.He hesitated and said, "Mr.Cassel only asked Seth to carry
out a secret mission.He did not tell you anything about it during the meeting.Mrs.Cassel, did he not tell
you?"
Logically speaking, since Brandon loved Savanna so much, he shouldn't be hiding anything from
Savanna.
"No.Seth was sent on a mission.He did not speak to Lizeth.Lizeth cried so hard that her eyes turned
red.She said that Seth did not care about her."
Jim was speechless.
Savanna said, "Why didn't you go to the bar last night?"
Jim said, "I had other things to do at that time, so I asked for a leave from Mr.Cassel."
"Alright."
Savanna didn't know what she wanted to ask.She hesitated for two seconds and finally hung up.
Brandon paused for two seconds and remembered that he had a drink with Ethan the night before
yesterday.
Savanna dialed Ethan's number and the call went through.
"Ethan..."
Savanna had just opened her mouth when the one on the other side eagerly said, "It's not
me.Mr.Bennington is currently in ICU, so it's inconvenient for him to move.I'm a nurse."
"What happened to him?" Savanna was shocked.
"Mr.Bennington had a car accident.After the surgery, he has not woken up."
After hanging up for a long time, Savanna still had not recovered from the shock.
Ethan got into a car accident the night before.
Savanna immediately called Renee, and she thought that either the call could not get through or Renee
would not answer.
However, the phone rang for a second, and the phone got through.
"Ethan got into a car accident?" Savanna asked.
On the other side, Renee heard his daughter's kind voice and suddenly felt sad.
Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes and blurred the screen of her phone.
"Yes...yes." Renee choked.
"Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?’ Renee felt wronged.
"You never called me mother, and you don't recognize me as your mother.How would I dare to tell
you?"
Savanna rubbed her eyebrows.
"Alright, tell me, how did Ethan get into a car accident?"
"The night before yesterday, he drank until early in the morning.On his way home, his car was hit by
someone.Jose was knocked into a vegetative state.Ethan was lucky, but his head was still injured.The
doctor said he was fine, but he still hasn't woken up."
After talking to Renee on the phone, Savanna was very agitated.She lay on the bed, tossing and
turning, but in the end, she still shamelessly called Brandon.
Brandon didn't answer the phone three times.
Just as she was about to call the fourth, Brandon called back.
"What's the matter?"
Brandon's cold words were like a bucket of cold water pouring over Savanna.
Savanna's lips trembled.
"It's almost twelve in the morning.I want to ask if you are coming back tonight?"
"I'm working overtime, not coming back."
Brandon hung up without waiting for Savanna to speak.
Savanna froze on the spot, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
Brandon's words were so cold and icy that they made her feel like she was ina cellar.
Early in the morning, Savanna woke up.
She had just taken out her phone to browse I witter when the system sent her a message that "Meeting
Your Sweethearts and Realizing Your Dream."
What surprised Savanna was not the words, but the blurry picture below.
Under the pitch black background, two pairs of slender fingers were tightly clasped together.
Savanna's eyes went up along the tightly clasped fingertips.She saw the corners of the black clothes,
the tall and straight body, and the smooth outline of the side profile.
If it was not Brandon, who else could it be? Savanna looked at the time displayed below.It was early
last night, not long after she called him.
Brandon said that he was working overtime, but it turned out that he was with a woman.
What made Savanna most angry was that this woman was not unfamiliar and she had even argued
with her.
Flora.
So funny.
For the past five years, all the scenes had flashed through Savanna's mind.
Savanna thought about it and felt that it had been randomly fabricated by gossip reporters.
She used technology to check the authenticity of the picture and the result was that the picture had not
been synthesized.
In the latter half of the night, Savanna could not sleep.
She sat on the bed, quietly waiting for dawn, She was also waiting for Brandon to come back and give
her a reasonable explanation.
