Chapter 321
Brandon was lost in thought. He looked down at the crown of Savanna’s head, his eyes shining with tenderness.
Brandon’s fingertips gently rubbed the hair on Savanna’s temples, and his warm voice slowly entered her ears, “Fabian’s offer is very tempting. But I didn’t hesitate to refuse him when he mentioned it. Everything depends on you. I’ll listen to you.”
In a split second, the last sentence was like a wisp of spring wind warming Savanna all over.
Her eyes squinted slightly, a hint of smile sparkling inside. “Thank you.”
They quietly held each other for a while. Then Brandon withdrew his hand. He looked at his watch and said to Savanna, “The hospital called in the morning and said that Grandma was awake. When I was about to go to the hospital, Fabian and his son came, so I was delayed. I have to go there right now.”
“I’ll go with you,” said Savanna.
Brandon looked at her and nodded. He called Seth and asked him to drive out of the garage.
Two minutes later, Seth showed up in Maybach.
Brandon placed his right hand on the inside wall of the car and gestured for Savanna to get in with his other hand. Savanna seemed to see colorful bubbles in the air. She smiled sweetly. Just as she got in the car, Brandon also got in and closed the door.
The car drove to the hospital.
In the VIP ward, the nurse was bending over to unblock the glass tube on the back of Lorena’s hand. She curled her index finger and thumb and flicked the tube. The liquid in the tube began to flow slowly again.
The nurse said in a soft voice, “Mrs. Young, have a good rest.”
She greeted Brandon and nodded at Savanna before leaving.
“Grandma.”
Brandon walked to the head of the bed and met Lorena’s light eyes. After the illness, her eyes were no longer as sharp as before. She even looked a little sleepy, like someone who had not woken up.
Brandon didn’t know if Lorena recognized him. She didn’t respond when he called her. She just stared at him. After a while, she looked at the woman behind Brandon, Savanna.
Meeting Lorena’s gaze, Savanna had to speak “Mrs. Young,” said she.
Lorena stared at Sayanna for a full minute before she slowly shifted her gaze away. She still did not speak and only closed her eyes, looking very tired.
Brandon looked back at Savanna and motioned for her to leave. Savanna nodded and whispered, “I’ll wait for you outside,”
With that, she went out.
Brandon sat down on the side of the bed. He adjusted the quilt for Lorena. Brandon glanced at the silver hair on her temples. Her hair was all white, and the outline of her face was not as clear as it used to be. The medicine not only changed her appearance but also caused severe damage to her internal organs.
Lorena sighed, her words slurring, “You’re all laughing at me, thinking that I brought it on myself, aren’t you?”
Brandon said, “Of course not. Grandma, during the time you were unconscious, the Young family had signed several
big projects. Everything is developing in a good direction.”
Lorena still had her eyes closed, as if she was in great pain. “You would even risk your life for her. I have such a serious illness, but you’re not willing to come back to see me. In this life, I’m a loser. Whether it’s you, your father, or your grandfather, none of you listened to me.”
Brandon fell silent when Lorena mentioned this.
He didn’t want to have any more disputes with her.
Brandon’s silence stirred up waves in Lorena’s heart. She opened her eyes and looked at Brandon with a sharp gaze. “She will destroy you.”
Brandon remained silent.
Lorena said, “You’re not afraid of anything, just like your father and your grandfather. For a woman, all of you are willing to throw yourselves into danger. Even if what’s ahead of you is a cliff and you’ll be dashed to pieces, losing your life, you’ll be willing to do it.”
