Brandon gazed at Seth coldly. Seth explained with trembling legs, âI thought it was Mrs. Young who called Lizeth.â
Brandonâs eyes were cold. âIn the future, use your brain more often.â
He was overjoyed for nothing.
Brandon got into the car and drove back to the Rose Villas.
âDad, you are back.â
Mandel ran over and held Brandonâs long legs. âHave you found Savanna?â
Brandon lowered his head and looked at the child who was only as tall as his thighs. He was depressed and flustered. He looked at Mandel and blinked. The fire in his heart had nowhere to go. He bent down and peeled off Mandelâs hand that was holding his thigh, then went upstairs.
Mandel frowned when he heard the sound of the door slamming from upstairs, looking unhappy.
A whistle sounded in the courtyard.
Mandel ran out and saw Lizeth and Seth getting out of the car. He quickly ran over and asked Lizeth, âHavenât you found Savanna?â
âNo,â Lizeth said.
Lizeth looked back at Seth, then held Mandelâs hand and entered the villa.
In the childrenâs room, Lizeth hugged Mandel and whispered in his ear. Mandelâs eyes shone.
âDid Savanna come back?â
Lizeth quickly covered Mandelâs mouth and whispered, âMandel, keep your voice down. Savanna doesnât want Mr. Young to know that. Donât give her away.â
Mandel nodded and lowered his voice. âDid she say when she will be back?â
âSavanna asked you to be a good boy. She will come back when her face is cured.â Lizeth didnât lie, Savanna indeed said this to her.
Mandel blinked his eyes as if he didnât believe it. âCan her face be cured? Didnât my father hire a group of doctors? Savanna can receive treatment home.â
Afraid that Mandel would misunderstand Savanna, Lizeth quickly said, âNormal doctors canât cure Savanna. She went to find a high-level doctor. Donât worry. Savanna said that she would definitely come back. Donât tell your father. Otherwise, Savanna will never come back.â
Mandel nodded in agreement. âAlright.â
âCome on, pinky swear.â He covered his pinky with his thumb.
Besides, after Brandon and the others left the Hilton Hotel, Charles fired Sophia and Rosa together to avoid trouble.
Rosa walked out of Hilton Hotel with her luggage.
Walking aimlessly on the street, her phone suddenly rang. She looked down and saw Sophiaâs number on the screen.
Rosa answered the phone and shouted lazily, âSophia.â
âWhatâs wrong? Are you fired?â Savanna asked.
Rosa said, âYes, Charles was afraid that they would come to cause trouble, so he asked me to scram.â
Savanna of course knew who Rosa was referring to.
It wasnât Charlesâ fault. Brandon was just too intimidating.
Not to mention Charles, even the boss of Hilton couldnât afford to provoke them.
Savanna and Rosa had agreed to meet in Queens County.
Rosa looked very upset, which was understandable because she had just lost her job.
âSophia, whatâs your plan now?â Rosa asked Savanna.
Savanna pointed at her own face. âMy face is ruined. Finding a job is not easy for me.â
Savanna thought for a moment and asked, âWould you like to do odd jobs?â
Rosa said, âI didnât receive a lot of education, so I am not picky about jobs. I can do anything.â
Savanna called Leo, âLeo, can you do me a favor?â
Leo was stunned when he heard Savannaâs voice. It took him a long time to come back to himself. Then, Leo said excitedly, âSavanna, where are you? Why havenât you contacted me for so long?â
Savanna put the tip of her tongue against her cheek and asked, instead of answering, âCan you? Leo?â
âWhat is it? Tell me.â
Seeing that she was unwilling to answer his question, Leo stopped forcing her.
Savanna explained her wish. Leo agreed without hesitation.
When Leo drove to Queens County, he did not see Savanna. Instead, there was an ordinary-looking girl walking toward him with her luggage. âAre you Mr. Baker?â
âYes.â
Rosa said, âIâm Rosa. Sophia has something urgent to attend to, so she left first.â
Hearing this, Leo felt a sense of loss.
He took Rosaâs luggage and threw it into the trunk, taking her away.
Leo had arranged a job for Rosa. She would be working in an electronic business company as a server.
It had been two days, there was still no news of Savanna. Brandon had sent people to search everywhere. Not to mention the hotel, Savanna did not even dare to go to a restaurant.
Savanna rented a very small apartment in a remote place. The tenants in this area were almost all women. Moreover, they slept during the day and worked at night as prostitutes. Savanna was naturally seen as that kind of person as well.
of course, Savanna did not care. She hid indoors, searching for people who could treat her online.
She sent messages to all the websites and left her contact details.
On the day she left the Rose Villas, Savanna changed her number.
Now, no one knew her contact information.
Not long later, several people added her, all of them were the doctors or doctorsâ assistants to whom she had left her number.
She told them about her situation. Some said that this kind of illness was rare and difficult to treat.
However, it was not completely hopeless. Some directly rejected her.
Just as she was about to give up hope, someone sent her a message. âMiss, would you like to come here and give it a try? We have been trying to study your illness, and we have a specialized research team.â
Savanna replied, âOkay.â She had nothing to lose.
The other person said, âYouâll have to make an appointment first. My mentor will be available in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Is it convenient for you?â
âSure,â Savanna said.
In the afternoon two days later, Savanna came as promised.
However, she never expected that the doctor was Rex.
Savanna didnât know that Rex was well-known worldwide. Patients from all over the world invited him to take a look at them. Recently, he was entrusted by Brandon, wholeheartedly working on developing the antidote for Savanna. He heard Richard Blake, his apprentice that there was a patient with a similar condition to Savanna. He planned to meet this patient.
Rex was staring at the computer screen, prescribing for the last patient. He faintly said âsitâ to her.
Savanna grabbed the backpack on her shoulder, wanting to turn around and leave. But that would be too rude. Moreover, this way, Rex would definitely suspect her.
Anyway, she wore a mask. Rex should not recognize her.
She sat on the chair and waited quietly.
After Rex finished his work, he looked up at her and said, âYou are Sophia, right?â
âYes, doctor,â Savanna answered in a choked voice, âRichard told me about your illness. He talked to you on the Internet. I just wanted to confirm that your face was really caused by drugs.â Rex said in a formal tone.
Savanna described the process of her poisoning. Different from Savannaâs poisoning, Sophia got poisoned by the wrong food that she ate, which caused her face to be disfigured.
Rex did not doubt it. After chatting with Savanna for a while, Rex pointed to the bed opposite him. âMs.
Swan, lie down and take off your mask Let me check how badly your face is damaged.â
Savannaâs entire body tensed up. She immediately stood up, âNo need, Iâll come back another day.â
Rex did not suspect anything about Savannaâs reaction. As a doctor, he had seen too many patients who refused to see a doctor because of their serious illnesses. Some even had mental problems.
Rex looked down at the record of Sophiaâs experience of poisoning. He seemed to feel that something was wrong. He quickly took Savannaâs medical record. Suddenly, something flashed through Rexâs mind.
Rex immediately asked Richard, âWhere does Sophia live?â
Richard sent the address to Rex. Rex frowned and asked, âWhen the appointment was made, did she know who I am!â
Richard said, âI donât think so. I didnât say anything about it, and she didnât mention it either.â
Dev forced a smile. He wanted to tell Brandon about this discovery, but after thinking about it, he hesitated. What if it was not Savanna?
Rex took off his white robe and walked out of the consulting room. He took out his phone and made a call. Soon the phone was connected. Savannaâs voice came from the phone. âHello, who is this?â
Doo.
The call was hung up. Savanna thought it was a harassment call and did not care. At night, someone knocked on her door. She did not want to open it. The person who knocked on the door was too stubborn and refused to leave. The sound of the door grew louder and louder. The people next door were dissatisfied and started cursing, which was not pleasant to hear.
Savanna could only open the door.
The door opened, and a tall man was standing outside the door. The sensor light flashed. Savanna clearly saw the manâs face.
It was Rex.
