Savanna turned back and looked at Lorena who came out of the hall. Lorena wore a long face.
Chloe reached out to support Lorena and said, âGrandma, you misunderstood Ms. Thompson.â
âDonât speak for her. I heard everything.â
Lorena felt sorry for Chloe, so she naturally vented her anger on Savanna, saying, âChloe, Savanna is obviously jealous of you.â
âShe isnâtâ¦â
Chloe still wanted to speak up for Savanna, but Savanna retorted, âMs. Gilbert, donât speak up for me.
The more you say, the angrier Mrs. Young is.â
* âMs. Thompson, youâ¦â Chloe felt wronged and pursed her lips, looking like she was about to cry âSavanna. Youâ¦â
Lorena was about to scold Savanna.
âGrandma.â
Brandon hurried to show up, followed by Seth, whose face was full of anxiety. It was obvious that Seth informed Brandon.
âSavanna, didnât you just say that you got a bellyache? Now, is it still painful?â
Brandon wrapped his arm around Savannaâs waist and pulled her into his arms. When Brandon met Savannaâs gaze, he winked at Savanna.
Brandonâs gentle words extinguished the anger in Savannaâs heart. Savanna glanced at Chloe and saw that Chloeâs face was a bit paler than before, then she snickered.
Savanna wrapped her arms around Brandonâs neck and deliberately whispered, âIt still hurts. Shelton, can you take me to the hospital?â
âAlright.â
Brandon turned to Lorena and said, âGrandma, Savanna has got a bellyache. Iâll send her to the hospital.â
After that, regardless of whether Lorena agreed or not, Brandon carried Savanna and walked out.
Savanna hugged Brandonâs waist tightly and turned around, smiling at Chloe.
Chloe thought, itâs a deliberate provocation!
Chloe was furious, but she didnât dare to show it.
Lorena was also angry. She comforted Chloe, âDonât worry, Chloe. After the â child is born, Savanna has to leave. Shelton doesnât really like her.â
Chloe thought, Mrs. Young, donât lie through your teeth. Just now, when Shelton heard Savanna say that she got a bellyache, Shelton was very anxious. In the past few months with Shelton, I always felt that he was always indifferent. It is because he doesnât care about me.
It seems that every time Shelton encounters Savanna, he will be anxious and make an exception for her.
However, Chloe didnât dare to say these words.
âIâm afraid she wonât be willing to leave when the time comes.â Chloe was discouraged, and her tone was not friendly.
âIt is not up to her. She is just a tool for childbirth in the Young family. If Mandel is not seriously ill and needs the blood of his siblings to save his life, I will not allow Savanna to step into the door of my family.â
Lorena had never seen Savanna and should not be so prejudiced against her, Lorenaâs understanding of Savanna was based on Chloeâs introduction.
Chloe seemed to have a clear understanding of Savanna and Brandonâs love history five years ago.
The reason why Savanna left New York and why she came back, and Savannaâs male friends, had been reported to Lorena by Chloe. She deliberately blackened Savannaâs name.
Although Lorena was a strong woman, her thoughts were conservative. Therefore, she couldnât allow Savanna to marry Brandon.
After giving birth to the child, Savanna had to leave.
This was the only way Lorena could think of to make Chloe and Shelton marry perfectly.
Lorena liked Chloe, not only because she thought Chloe was a good woman, â but also because of the Gilbert familyâs wealth.
If Shelton married Chloe, then the Young family would be the most powerful family in Philadelphia.
Chloeâs two elder brothers were both black sheep, and none of their abilities could compare to Sheltonâs.
If Shelton married Chloe, wouldnât that be equivalent to having the Gilbert familyâs wealth?
Lorena was very cunning.
Chloe saw that Lorena was angry, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Chloe thought regardless of whether Shelton would dote on Savanna or not, she could rest assured, After Brandon had just carried Savanna out of the living room, Savanna struggled to leave his arms.
Brandon did not allow it. He strode forward, lowered his head, and moved his lips to her ear. He said in a low voice, âThe wall has ears. If Grandma knows that you are pretending to be sick, she will be angrier.â
At the mention of Lorena, Savanna became angry.
Savanna said in an unfriendly tone, âPut me down.â
Brandon saw Savanna angry, so he carried Savanna into the car. Seth followed them out, but he was driven back to the Youngâs house.
Brandon got into the car, started the car, and drove around the Youngâs house several times. The speed was very slow.
Savanna saw him driving aimlessly and asked, âWhere are we going?â
âI donât know.â
Brandon had just wanted to help Savanna escape from Lorena and Chloeâs attack, so he had carried Savanna out without. Now, he found that there was nowhere to go.
Savanna looked at the sky outside. The street was full of neon lights, and Savanna said, âI want to see Mandel. Go to the hospital.â
Brandon stepped on the accelerator and drove directly to the hospital.
Mandel was preparing to go to sleep when Savanna and Brandon entered the ward. Mandel had just finished washing up, and the nurse was urging him to sleep.
âSavanna.â Mandel was much warmer this time when he saw Savanna.
Mandel wanted to jump out of bed and was stopped by the nurse.
Brandon let the nurse go out. Savanna sat down next to Mandel and gently held Mandel.
Savanna felt a dense pain in her heart.
Brandon glanced at the mother and son on the bed and quietly left.
Brandon walked to the end of the aisle and leaned against the white railing. He tilted his head and lit a cigarette. The sensor light shone on his face and a trace of anxiety flashed across his face.
Brandon heard feet pattering from the other end of the corridor.
Then, a group of nurses appeared, and the ward they ran to was the one Brandon had just walked out of.
Brandonâs expression changed. He put out the cigarette and walked back to the ward. The ward was filled with the strong smell of blood.
Mandel lay on the bed. His eyes were closed and his lips were blue. He curled up and his body kept twitching. The collar of Mandelâs clothes was soaked in blood. It was very eye-catching Savanna knelt at the end of the bed, biting her lips, staring at the nurse who stopped the bleeding for Mandel.
Brandon walked over and embraced Savanna, letting Savanna lean against his chest.
Brandon could feel Savanna trembling in his arms, and even her heart seemed to tremble.
After the rescue, Mandelâs nosebleed stopped and the doctors were relieved.
After the nurse brought the drip and hung it up for Mandel, the doctor walked over and said to Brandon, âMr. Cassel, letâs talk.â
Brandon let go of Savanna and followed the doctor out.
Savanna pounced towards Mandel and tightly grabbed the hand with the needle. Just now, when the nurse was inserting the needle, Savanna saw that the back of Mandelâs hand was full of densely packed marks, and she was sad.
The nurse was afraid that Savanna would hurt Mandel, so she reminded Savanna, âMrs. Young, be careful.â
âAlright.â Savanna wiped the tears on her face. Even though she was extremely reluctant, she gently and carefully let go of Mandelâs hand.
