Chapter 197
Savanna watched the news carefully, and her lips trembled.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she nibbled her lower lip hard to restrain her collapsing emotions.
Justin looked at Savanna with a worried expression. “Ms. Thompson, are you all right?”
Savanna was silent.
Her fingernails that were pressed hard on the phone were broken. Savanna felt the pain from her fingertips to her heart, pulling every nerve in her body, and causing her stomach to spasm.
As soon as Justin got up this morning, he saw the news, but he didn‘t dare to tell Savanna. Justin comforted Savanna in a trembling voice, “Ms. Thompson, it didn‘t mention the kid‘s name on the news. It might not be Mandel.”
If Savanna couldn‘t even recognize her own child, she would be a failure as a mother.
Savanna was 100% sure that it was Mandel.
Back then, when Kadyn brought Mandel and met her, Mandel was energetic, outgoing, and generous, acting like a grown–up at any time, for which Savanna liked him very much.
Mandel had claimed to protect her even before knowing that Savanna was his mother.
Savanna stared at the photo. The child‘s eyes, which used to be bright, were dull, and his cute face was pale. It was obvious that Mandel had just had an operation.
All of a sudden, Savanna‘s heart was very painful.
It was as if someone had used a knife to cut out a piece of meat from her.
“Leave me alone, please.”
Savanna tried her best to tell Justin in a calm tone.
And Justin walked out of the office.
As soon as the door was closed, Savanna broke down in tears.
Savanna immediately called the media that published the news. Under her repeated questioning, the person on the other side politely replied, “Ms. Thompson, I‘m sorry, but this is the patient‘s privacy. The reason why we published this news was that we were invited by the hospital to promote their new bone marrow transplant operation.”
Savanna wanted to ask more questions, but the other party hung up the phone decisively.
Savanna couldn‘t wait to take the flight to Philadelphia. She took her phone and was about to book an air ticket. Suddenly, something popped up in her mind, and then Savanna rushed out of the office and went to Ben by driving.
When Ben saw Savanna, he was very surprised. And then he became indifferent.
“Savanna, Since you have married someone else, why bother to see them? Their lives have nothing to do with you.”
Savanna thought Ben was talking about her marriage with Lucas.
Savanna didn‘t have the energy to argue with Ben about it. Her mind was filled with Mandel‘s illness.
“Ben, I just want to know where they are. Has Mandel fallen ill?”
Ben looked at Savanna. His eyes were cold and disdainful. He had never liked Savanna before. Afterward, Ben changed his opinion of Savanna because she was the one Brandon loved the most.
Ben saw Leo taking out the marriage certificate from his pocket in person. From then on, Ben started to hate Savanna.
Looking at Savanna, who only cared about Mandel, Ben thought that Brandon‘s infatuation was given to the wrong woman in the end.
“No comment.”
Savanna had been waiting for a long time. But in the end, she only got two short and cold words from Ben.
“Ben.” Seeing Ben about to leave, Savanna reached out her hand and grabbed Ben‘s collar.
Ben had a fierce look in his eyes and warned, “I‘m not Brandon. I don‘t feel sorry for people, especially a fickle woman like you. Let go of your hand. Or, don‘t blame me for being rude.”
“Tell me, where is Brandon? According to the news, Mandel had an operation. What illness did he have? Is it serious?”
Savanna asked a series of questions in an anxious tone, but Ben remained hard–hearted.
Ben grabbed her hand that was clutching his collar and threw it with force. Savanna almost fell to the floor.
Ben looked at Savanna, who was curling up on the floor, and tittered, “Are you anxious now? What were you doing earlier? Didn‘t you turn a cold shoulder to Brandon because he was poor? You would not fall in love without benefits. Damn it!”
If Savana were a man, Ben would beat her up to avenge Brandon, no matter what it took.
Ben tittered even louder, “Aren‘t you the high and mighty president of the Thompson Group? Don‘t you hang out with those celebrities in New York every day? Aren‘t there so many men around you pursuing you? You can go ask them to help you.”
After that, Savanna headed for the airport, where she bought an air ticket to Philadelphia... According to the address that was published on the news, Savanna found the hospital. The dean of the hospital received her and told her that the reporter had uploaded the photo by mistake. Savanna saw the child who had a bone marrow transplant operation. It was not Mandel.
