Chapter 293
In the middle of the night, Brandon woke up from his dream.
Outside the window, the hazy night fell on the windowsill. In the dead of the night, his mind was so clear. The worries in his heart kept tormenting him, making him unable to sleep.
Brandon got up and lit a cigarette.
Halfway through the smoke, he seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He extinguished the cigarette and got up to leave the guest room.
He pushed open the door to the master bedroom.
In the room, it was so quiet.
On the bed, Savanna was sleeping peacefully with a graceful body shape. Brandon’s Adam’s apple rolled. He tiptoed over, laid down gently, and slowly moved his body toward her. When he gently held her in his embrace, his agitated heart finally became at peace.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
In the morning, Savanna woke up and thought that she would see Brandon’s face. However, there was no one else in the room except her.
Last night, in a haze, she always felt that someone had hugged her with his broad chest. His chest was so hot and hard, which brought her unspeakable safety.
Savanna just slept soundly in his arms and had a sweet dream.
However, such a clear feeling was a just dream.
Savanna washed up, dressed up, and went downstairs.
Lizeth was having a meal with Mandel in the dining room. Mandel saw Savanna and said to her, “Good morning.” After that, he took the toast and spread ketchup on it before handing it to Savanna. “Savanna, your favorite food.”
Savanna smiled and pinched his nose softly. “Thank you.”
Mandel finished his breakfast and went back to his room to change his clothes. Then, he went to the
music room to play games.
Savanna ate breakfast and went to the children’s room to tidy up Mandel’s clothes. Lizeth came in and saw her holding the clothes that Savanna bought for Mandel in a daze. She said, “Savanna, the cloakroom almost can’t hold Mandel’s clothes.”
Savanna looked at the clothes in different sizes in front of her and felt sad. She casually took two sets of clothes and placed them on the bed. She pointed to the one on the left.
She then said, “This set is for Mandel when he turns eight.” After that, she pointed to the set on the right. “He can wear this set at ten years old.”
Savanna looked at the wardrobe of the cloakroom. “Those are what he wears from the age of ten to eighteen.” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
This way, Mandel had clothes from five to eighteen years old.
Lizeth felt a little uncomfortable. She did not have high education, but it did not mean that she was stupid. She knew that Savanna was making plans in advance for the worst condition.
“Savanna, in fact, you don’t have to think so much. Mr. Young and Dr. Barton have been thinking of ways. I heard from Seth that the medical research team is about to solve the problem. As long as they can find one or two medicine materials, you will be cured.”
Savanna’s bright eyes were always full of gloom. Her voice was indifferent. “Lizeth, if I’m gone, you have to help me take care of Mandel. If he doesn’t behave well, you should criticize him or even give him some punishment.”
Lizeth said, “Savanna, I can’t bear to punish him. Mandel is such a good boy. He will be very nice. Savanna, you will be fine.”
As she spoke, Lizeth cried.
There were also some tears in Savanna’s eyes. She blinked, and the tears in her eyes disappeared. She restrained her sadness and said, “Lizeth, just remember what I say. I also hope nothing will happen.”
Savanna had talked to Lizeth the whole afternoon in the children’s room.
Savanna sat in front of the dressing table with her head lowered. She was looking at the loose soft mask she bought online with mixed feelings.
Brandon was afraid of increasing the burden on Savanna. He urged Rex to speed up the drug discovery while crazily working overtime. Only by working overtime could Brandon control himself from calling Savanna.
Besides, he also pretended to be so busy at work that he could not meet Savanna.
Brandon left early and returned late at night, which made Savanna completely relieved from nervousness.
However, Savanna’s fear was not dispelled by Brandon’s frequent overtime. At night, she began to lock the door of her bedroom, and it was impossible for Brandon to get into the master bedroom at midnight.
Therefore, every night, when Brandon could not fall asleep, he would stand outside the main bedroom door. He leaned against the wall, smoked, and stared at the door in a daze. Seth quietly watched Brandon’s dejected appearance.
Seth felt so distressed.
One day, Brandon was holding a high-level meeting in the Thompson Group. Seth came in and whispered something in his ear. Brandon’s expression suddenly changed, and his face was full of gloom. All the higher-ups did not dare to say anything. Brandon immediately got up and pushed away the chair, which made a loud bang. He did not look back and stepped out of the meeting room.
The higher-ups looked at the shaking chair and were so scared that their faces turned pale.
ere so sca
They all wondered what had exactly happened and why Brandon was so anxious.
The higher-ups kept speculating in their minds.
Brandon rushed into the Rose Villas. Lizeth was crying with Mandel in her arms. When Lizeth saw that Brandon had returned, she hurried over to greet him. “Mr. Young.”
Brandon’s face was frighteningly gloomy as he tightened his lips. “Where is she?”
Lizeth cried. “Savanna left. She only left this behind.”
Lizeth handed the note to Brandon.
“Mandel, live with your father well.
Brandon, I’m going on a trip. Do not worry.”
What was the meaning of these few words?
Brandon frowned, and there seemed to be a storm gathering around him.
In the room, the atmosphere was so horrible.
No one dared to say a word._
Brandon lowered his shoulders, closed his eyes, and supported himself with his hands against the wall. Only then could he stabilize his tottering body. “Seth, guard all the entrances to New York.”
Savanna could leave and hide, but Brandon had to know where she was and whether she was safe or
not.
Seth left quickly.
Mandel cried as he hugged Brandon’s thigh. “Dad, you must find Savanna. You must.”
Brandon opened his eyes and saw that his son was crying with red eyes. Brandon felt as if his heart was being scratched by a cat and was bleeding.
“Alright.”
He promised Mandel that he would definitely find Savanna back, even if he had to search everywhere in this world.
Brandon swore that he would never let Savanna leave him and Mandel.
Savanna’s departure alarmed Cain and Leo. They came one by one. Leo stood outside the Rose Villas and grabbed Seth’s arm, questioning, “Where did Savanna go?”
Seth was speechless. “We’ve been looking for her for several days, but we just can’t find her.”
Leo wanted to rush’in to see Brandon, but he held back. After all, Brandon had helped him, and Leo always thought that he owed Brandon something.
Leo suppressed his sadness and began to search the world for Savanna’s whereabouts.
Cain directly rushed into the Thompson Group, grabbed Brandon by the collar, and aggressively asked, “Brandon, where did Savanna go?”
Brandon’s eyes were so cold. He grabbed Cain’s fingers and took them off his collar one by one. Brandon narrowed his eyes with gloom. “What right do you have to ask me this?”
Cain swallowed a mouthful of saliva. “I … Savanna is my friend. Since she is missing now, as her friend, I will definitely come to ask you.”
“Neil.” Brandon made an internal call.
“Mr. Cassel,” Neil came in.
Brandon pointed at Cain. “Who let him in? I’ll deduct one month’s salary of that person.”
Neil was afraid that Cain would suffer again, so he took Cain out of the office. Neil said, “Cain, it’s not like you don’t know his personality. When he came back, you quit and left. You two are natural enemies, so it’s better not to meet Mr. Cassel. Besides, Ms. Thompson left on her own, so Mr. Cassel couldn’t do anything about it. These two days, this floor has been in a tense atmosphere. Everyone is afraid of making any mistake that may irritate Mr. Cassel. However, you actually took the initiative to see him.”
Cain was furious. “If it wasn’t for him, Savanna wouldn’t have been poisoned. Brandon has to take full responsibility!”
