Seeing how irritable Brandon was, Rex calmly asked with a smile, âWhat is it? She wonât allow you.
to touch her?â
Brandon was so frustrated. He complained, âItâs not like that. She is always suspicious of me. Iâm not all liked me. I even hired a man as my secretary. And most of the companyâs female managers quit. I can put up with all of this.
The important thing is that she doesnât believe me. She has a skeptical attitude towards me no matter what I do.â
Rex seemed to have known it all, and he did not find it strange at all. âI told you before. And you promised that you would endure it. It hasnât been that long. So, Brandon, how deep is your love for her? Is your love for her strong enough to get you and her out of the low point? Can you embrace the da Brandon stroked his hair, and he gradually calmed down. He pulled a stool and sat opposite Rex, asking, âDo you have a cigarette? Give me a smoke.â
Rex opened the drawer, took out a pack of cigarettes, and threw it to Brandon. âA patient yesterday wan Brandon grabbed the pack, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to light it,
Brandon had to get up and walk out of the room with the cigarette. He walked to the smoking area, and along the way, he attracted the attention of countless wom Brandon was born a star, the Mr. Perfect.
He was not in the mood to think about this. Right now, all he was thinking about was how he could get Savanna the antidote.
Rex reminded him. If he didnât love Savanna enough to endure, he couldnât have a future with her. Altho felt annoved, he was sure that he loved Savanna. And he loved her very deeply. His feelings for Savanna would never go away. Even the thought of being away from her tore him apart.
an W After smoking two cigarettes, when Brandon went back, Rex had already finished checking two patients Rex was about to go to the hospital cafeteria for lunch. He invited Brandon to go with him. Brandon wanted to discuss Savannaâs condition with Rex, so he went with Rex.
The two of them grabbed something to eat and picked a spot with fewer people to sit down.
Rex said as he ate, âIn short, suffer in silence if you still want to be with her. Every time she acts unreaso Brandon did not have much appetite as he thought about Savannaâs condition. He put down his fork afte Rex paused as he picked up the food. He raised his head and looked at Brandon, who was sitting opposite him. âIt is possible, but it needs huge manpower, materials, and money. The hospital wonât inve me, including deputy directors, directors, and the hospitalâs head.â
Brandon seemed to have made up his mind and said word by word, âWhat if I pay for it myself?â
Rex said, âOf course, you can. I canât be a part of it directly. If you want to do it, you need a team, enoug Brandon wanted to say something. Seeing that, Rex asked Brandon, âYouâre wondering how your grand ds âFirst of all, she comes from a medical family, and she has been influenced since she was a child. Secon Brandon was angry since Lorena refused to give him the antidote. He said indignantly, âAnyway, I believ she can.â
Brandon was so determined. Seeing that, Rex agreed, âIâm sure you can do everything with great determ go and get the money ready. Iâll do what I can to help.â
Rex knew that Brandon did not have much money after being restricted by Lorena. Brandon left Philadelphia emptyâhanded with Savanna.
âAre you looking down on me?â Brandonâs heart ached as he blurted out.
âSee? You are so sensitive.â Rex patted himself on the forehead. Then he said in annoyance, âHas Savannaâs disease infected you and made you sensitive and suspicious as
Brandon snorted and turned to leave.
Savanna finished her work at the company and dragged herself home. Just as she reached the hallway, âYou are back?â
Brandon came out of the kitchen with an apron around his waist. His nose was covered in sweat, and his hair was a little messy because he was busy cooking. Seeing that, Savanna wasnât so down anymore. She took off her shoes, put on her slippers, and walked over to him. The distance between them was so close that they could see the fetal hair on each otherâs temples.
Brandon rubbed her temple and said in a hoarse voice, âStill angry?â
Savanna shook her head. She threw herself into his embrace and buried her face in his chest. Her voice and pained. She said, âI wasnât angry. I was just afraid that you wouldnât come back. Brandon, I canât live Brandon raised his hands and hugged her tightly. âDonât worry. I will not leave even if you shoot me.â
When Brandon left in the morning, Savanna was very panicked and confused. By the time she reached the elevator, her legs wer It was only when she saw his shoes at the door that she was relieved.
âForgive me. I donât know why Iâm the way I am today. I know Iâm very annoyed. Even I hate who I am right now. But I canât control it. Every time I see you talking to those Thinking of the fact that the medicine could control her thoughts and emotions, Savanna was terrified.
Brandon didnât want to hide it from her, so, he slightly nodded and hummed.
After Savanna got the answer, she suddenly stopped talking and became completely quiet.
Brandon was worried that she would be frustrated and that she couldnât take it. He quickly comforted he think too much. Just stay at home. Iâll take care of the company.â
In her vague consciousness, Savanna felt something stuck in her stomach, so uncomfortable that she w She heard hurried footsteps and unorderly breathing, and the atmosphere was intense. A voice calling out to her stood out, âSavanna, hang in there. Donât go to sleep, Savanna.â
The voice sounded anxious and panicked. It sounded like Brandon.
What happened to her? Without time to think, Savanna fainted again.
By the time Savanna woke up, it was already noon the next day.
The ceiling was white, and so was the wall. Then Savanna suddenly saw a manâs figure. He leaned bac delicate, and there was stubble covering his tough jaw. He was still handsome. Savannaâs gaze fell on h The suit he was wearing was still the same ashâ
colored suit he wore yesterday. He did not change his clothes. Did he stay here for her all night?
Savanna raised her head and looked at the blazing sun outside the window. Indeed, she had been unconscious for the entire night, and he had stayed here, keeping an eye on her.
People said that one could only see through others after experiencing certain things.
She raised her hand and gently held one of Brandonâs hands on his knees.
The warm feeling on the back of his hand touched Brandonâs heartstrings.
His eyelids under his long eyelashes fluttered, and he opened his eyes. When he saw Savannaâs misty
As he spoke, he took out his phone and was about to call Rex.
Savanna pulled her hand out of his palm and pressed the hand that held his phone. âIâm fine.â
Seeing that Savanna looked normal, Brandon was then relieved.
He mumbled, âYou made me worried sick last night. Why did you take so much medicine for no reason? Did you want to die?â
It sounded like he was scolding her. No one knew how anxious and distressed he was.
Hearing that, Savanna remembered that the reason why she fainted last night was that she had taken too much medicine prescribed by Rex.
âRex gave you medicine, not candy. You almost died last night. lost your life. Donât do that ever again.â
Brandon got up from his chair. His face was a bit cold. It was not because he was unhappy. It was because he was terrified. This morning,
and questioned Rex, âWhat medicine did you give her? Rex, I want to beat you up.â
âCan you blame me? Who takes medicine as candy? Only fools would do that.â Rex was telling the truth and all.â
Brandon was so angry. He wanted to stab himself with a knife.
Why did he quarrel with her last morning?
After she came back last night, she gave him the silent treatment. Then her medicine kicked in.
He was this close to losing Savanna forever.
He couldnât accept it. He wouldnât accept it.
Seeing that he was angry, Savanna took a sip of water to calm herself down and replied in a low voice, â
Brandon felt like he was a bad wolf as she stared at him with her watery, innocent eyes.
The love they shared made him cautious and fearful, while she became overly concerned with what she to the point of being a little out of her mind.
He was so tired.
However, he would never give up. Once they developed the antidote, Savanna could get better. He look Savanna also felt tired, but she would not give up either. For her, Brandon was everything.
She could live without Mandel, but she could not be without Brandon. It was the result of the poison controlling her mind.
Does it have anything to do with you at all, Mr. Stone?â Brandon was being utterly blunt.
Brandon went upstairs.
By the time he changed his clothes and came down, Lizeth had already left. Seth was standing outside the door and waiting. Mandel was in Savannaâs arms, and they were sitting on the sofa. Savann âIâm leaving.â
Brandon walked up to Mandel and Savanna, buttoning his suit.
By the time Savanna raised her head, Brandon had already left. She only heard a loud whistle coming fr âCome back early.â
Savanna pulled Mandel and ran to the door, yet she only got to see Brandonâs car as it sped away.
