Chapter 578 Vivian smiled. God was on her side.
Vivian found the journalistâs contact number on his page and immediately dialed it.
âWho is it? Weâre very busy following up the Larson Group news and anything else can wait.â
The reporters were outside the hospital trying to get an interview with the Larson Group.
Vivian said, âIâm the woman in that viral video giving Lydia her baby back. Iâd like to tell you exactly why Lydiaâs baby was snatched.â

Meanwhile, the Larson Group building was still brightly lit up at midnight.
After the meeting, Brandon had gone back to his office alone without switching the lights on. He sat on his chair, in the dark. He didnât get up again until the night sky outside the French windows faded to white.
At dawn, there was another tough battle to fight.
After Sean had taken her home, Natalie had waited on the sofa. Unable to keep her eyes open, she fell asleep; she woke up at around midnight, and then fell asleep again. The next time she opened her eyes, the sun was up in the sky outside the window.
She heard the door unlocking and ran over. Her head was full of questions, but as soon as she saw Brandon, she couldnât bring herself to ask any of them.
Although his clothes all seemed clean and tidy, his bloodshot eyes and the five oâclock shadow gave away that he hadnât slept all night.
The tension in his nerves didnât let go until he saw that Natalie had obediently stayed at home like he asked. He put his hand to Natalieâs head and gently stroked her hair. âI need to sleep. But I can tell you that Lydiaâs condition has been stabilized, and the baby is fine. Lydia needs to avoid anything that might distress her though, so the Larson Group board have decided not to let her attend any press conferences for the time being. Not in her condition.â
Maybe he really was tired, Natalie thought as Brandon took off his coat and went into the bedroom. He pulled back the covers and lay down on the bed without waiting for her to reply.
Natalie didnât want to disturb him.
She sighed before tucking him in. Once he had closed his eyes she stood there a moment and quietly stared at his harmless-looking face.
How was it that he looked like a completely different person when he was asleep, compared with when he was awake?
As her fingers gently traced his tall nose in the air, she pondered on this.
Brandon, who had seemed sound asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and looked into hers. Natalie snapped back her hand and said, âI wonât bother you anymore. Iâll go.â
As she got up from the bed to leave, Brandon stopped her and pulled her back. He said, in a sleepy drawl, âIâve had Lydia moved to another hospital in secret, and told her to get a decent rest there. Donât even think about sneaking out to see her while Iâm asleep.â
âI wonât.â Looking guilty at being caught out, Natalie asked, âIs she really willing to accept the compensation?â
âI spoke to Lydia before I left, and she said she would. Although she canât clear everything up now, sheâs signed a written document and has promised she wonât publish anything defamatory about the Larson Group. When she recovers, the Larson Group will pay for her to leave the country and keep away from any trouble, to ensure her and her babyâs safety.â
Brandon yawned and hugged Natalie, out of habit. He whispered in her ear, âLydia also said thank you for the flowers.â
With this news, Natalie believed Lydia really was getting better.
She said, in a low voice, âI hope Lydia will think all this through someday.â
Then she turned around and lay back in his arms. Leaning against his chest, Natalie asked, âAnd what about all those awful comments online? They were so terrible, I hope something can be done.â
Closing his eyes, Brandon stroked her back, as if comforting a child, âItâs going take a few more days to fix that.â
That was what Natalie needed to hear and she was hit with a wave of relief. Then Vivianâs sudden appearance at the hospital sprang to mind, so she asked him, âHowâs Vivian? Did the doctor say anything?â
Vivian? Brandon didnât give a shit about Vivian.
He rolled over and pinned her with his leg. âI didnât bother asking. Donât forget what I told you before. Stay away from that woman.â
There was nothing simple about Vivian. Natalie had to be careful around her.

ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 âUh huh,â replied Natalie indifferently. She couldnât understand Brandonâs open hostility towards Vivian. She kind of liked her.
At her grunted reply, Brandon gently told her, âVivian is the Turnersâ adopted daughter.â
At the mention of the Turners, Charisâ face sprang to Natalieâs mind and a chill ran down her spine.
Her tone immediately turned serious as she said, âOkay, in that case, Iâll stay away from her from now on. I donât need any more trouble. Donât worry.â
At last, Natalie had taken this matter seriously. Brandon fell asleep in relief.
Maybe it was because she had been so nervous waiting for Brandon last night, exhaustion eventually claimed her as she closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms.
When she woke up again, the sleeping man who had been with her was gone.
She checked her phone and saw the message Brandon had sent her.
âIâm at work now. You need to regulate your diet. Youâve lost too much weight recently. I donât like hugging you when youâre so skinny; itâs not comfortable.â
