After hearing what Brandon said, Savanna fluttered her eyelashes. She was pondering whether Brandonâs words could be trusted.
Brandonâs throat constricted. He was deeply afraid that Savanna would disagree. He said, âRex said that Mandel didnât have too much time left.â
Savanna bit her lip and asked, âHow long does he have?â
âRex didnât mention the details.â
Brandon was telling the truth, but Savanna said, âCan I meet Rex?â
Savanna wanted to meet Rex, obviously not believing in Brandon.
Brandon was sad, but he still took Savanna to see Rex.
Savanna and Rex had not seen each other for a long time. Perhaps because it was convenient to work, Rex had a buzz cut, looking fresh and neat.
After greeting Rex, Savanna said to Brandon, âWould you mind stepping outside? I want to ask Dr.
Barton something.â
Brandon smiled bitterly. Rex met Brandonâs gaze and saw the sadness in Brandonâs eyes.
Brandon left the room.
Rex was not very familiar with Savanna Whatâs more, they had not met for a long time, so they were even more distant. He asked, âIf you have anything to ask, just ask.â
When Savanna saw Rexâs grave look, she knew that Mandel remained in a critical condition.
âIs there really no one who can match Mandelâs bone marrow?â
The reason why Savanna asked this was clearly because she did not believe in Brandon.
Rex finally understood the helplessness and sorrow in Brandonâs eyes.
Brandon loved Savanna deeply, but Savanna did not believe in him. They needed to rebuild trust.
However, the road to rebuilding trust was full of obstacles.
Rex finally understood why Brandon hadnât told Savanna about Mandelâs condition. It was because Brandon wanted to protect Savanna.
âYes, itâs hard to find such a person.â
âBut it doesnât mean that we canât find such a person. Dr. Barton, I believe that if we work hard, we will definitely be able to find a suitable marrow donor. I am Mandelâs biological mother. Can my bone marrow match with his?â
Savannaâs voice was low and urgent.
Rex nodded and said, âWhen Mandel was diagnosed with this disease, I took Brandonâs bone marrow and matched it with Mandelâs, but it failed. At that time, Mandel was not as seriously ill as he is now. I asked Brandon to go to New York to look for you. I donât know if he went. Later, when I mentioned using your bone marrow to match, Brandon was silent.â
âDid he go to New York to look for me?â Savanna frowned.
âHe should have gone to look for you, but I donât know what exactly happened.â
âIn that case, can I match Mandelâs bone marrow with mine now? Dr. Barton.â
Rex saw that Savanna was anxious, so he immediately took Savanna to the bone marrow transplantation center.
When Brandon knew that Rex had taken Savanna to extract her bone marrow, he followed them.
Brandon stood outside the glass door, his figure tall and straight. He looked handsome, but there was a trace of nervousness on his face.
Brandonâs gaze was fixed on Savanna, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Savanna lay on the bed, not daring to move. Brandon saw her slightly furrowed brows and her red lips.
Finally, a few tubes of bone marrow were taken from Savanna.
Brandon pushed the door open and walked in.
He walked in front of Savanna and quietly looked at Savanna.
Savanna felt a gaze on her.
She opened her eyes and met Brandonâs gaze. Savanna saw a trace of heartache in Brandonâs eyes.
She thought she must have seen it wrongly.
How could Brandon feel sorry for her?
âDoes it hurt?â Brandonâs voice was hoarse.
Savannaâs eyes filled with tears. She was not moved by Brandon. She was too worried about Mandel.
Savanna thought that Mandel was so young, but he had to suffer so much. Mandel took the drip every day, and he still had to suffer endless chemotherapy.
Savannaâs face was wet with tears. Brandon reached out and hugged her, saying, âDonât worry.â
Brandon comforted Savanna, âThe bone marrow matching should be successful. After all, you are mother and son.â
Savanna was Mandelâs biological mother.
Brandon had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Savanna blinked and looked at Brandon without saying anything.
After a while, Savanna got up from the bed. Due to the inexplicable dizziness, she fell back down.
Brandon reached out and picked Savanna up. Under the envious eyes of the doctor and nurse, Brandon carried Savanna out of the bone marrow transplantation center.
âIâm fine. Put me down.â
Savanna had never been carried by Brandon like this, and she was not used to it. In addition, they were in the hospital and there were many people, so Savanna felt even more awkward.
Savanna wanted to return to Mandelâs ward, but Brandon took her to Rexâs break room.
Savanna wanted to get up, but Brandon stopped her and said, âSavanna, in the past six months, you were busy with the development of the Thompson Group. Youâre too weak, and your face has turned so pale after being taken a bit of your bone marrow. Mandel is already so seriously ill. If you are sick, I really canât have the energy to look after you.â
Mandel was ill and Brandon had yet to find a solution to cure Mandel.
If Savanna was sick, Brandon would not be able to hold on.
Brandonâs words warmed Savanna for the first time.
Thinking of Rexâs words, Savanna asked, âDr. Barton said that you went to New York to look for me.
However, I really donât know when you have gone to look for me.â
Brandonâs smile was bitter and he said, âThatâs history.â
Savanna saw his bitter smile and knew what Rex said was true. She grabbed Brandonâs hand and asked eagerly, âDid I go on a business trip, or was I drunkâ¦â
For a period of time, for the sake of the development of the Thompson Group, Savanna was almost drunk every day, Brandon looked deeply at Savanna and said, âYou are indeed drunk. However, I saw Leo walk out of your room. Youâ¦â
When Brandon thought back on this scene, he still felt pain in his heart.
Savanna frowned. After thinking about it, she finally remembered that one night, she was dead drunk.
Lizeth said that Leo sent Savanna back. That night, Leo stayed in the Rose Villas and slept on the sofa.
âLeo and I are just friends. At first, it was because of your pursuit of him. I felt that you were too cruel.
Moreover, his unfortunate life was because of me. When he learned that I was in prison, he sent Lucas to take me away. In these five years, we rarely contacted each other. It was not until I returned to New York that he was called back by Gordon,â
The reason why Gordon called Leo back was very simple. It was because Gordon wanted to work together with Leo to overthrow Brandon.
* Brandon and Savanna both knew this.
Brandonâs gaze fell on Savannaâs collarbone and said, âAt that time, I saw the bright moon tattoo on your collarbone, so I couldnât wake you up and tell you about Mandelâs illness.â
Savannaâs eyes flashed. She immediately untied her clothes. Her skin was fair and there was no flaw at all.
âYou got your tattoo removed?â Brandon was surprised.
Savanna smiled bitterly and said, âThat was a tattoo sticker. My drunk friends put it on my skin. When I sobered up, I tore it up.â
Savanna continued, âBrandon, no matter whether we will continue to be together in the future, I must tell you that believe it or not, I have no other men except you.â
Brandonâs throat constricted and his heart was beating violently. Brandon was so excited that he could not utter a word.
