Chapter 389
Brandon looked at the dark night out of the window. He realized that it was late and Savanna was not back yet, so he went downstairs to ask Lizeth. However, Lizeth was so focused on the sick Seth that she did not even know Savanna had gone out.
Brandon called Savanna. The phone and SIM card were both new. Tyrell got the old phone. And since Tyrell had an operation, Rafael then took the phone.
Brandon had no idea about all this.
When Savanna’s phone rang, she and Ethan just got out of the car and entered the elevator of the villa. She saw there was a strange phone number and did not want to answer at first. After thinking for a while, she finally picked it up and said, “Hello.”
Brandon paused when he heard Savanna’s voice. He just held the microphone and took a deep breath. It took hima long time to speak, “Where … are you? Why don’t you come home?”
Hearing that it was Brandon’s voice, Savanna felt delighted secretly. She paused for a moment before replying, “Have you returned?”
“Yes, I’m back I saw you are not in your room and asked Lizeth, but she didn’t know where you went either, so I called to ask It’s too late now…”
Hearing his explanations, Savanna felt her heart sink
Brandon was just afraid that something would happen to her because it was too late. He was worried only because of a husband’s duty to his wife, not a man’s concern for a woman.
At the thought of this, Savanna’s voice turned cold. “You go to bed first. I have something to do and will be back soon.”
“Okay.” Brandon just said that and hung up the phone.
Savanna listened to the busy tone on the phone, feeling more and more disappointed. Ethan noticed that and knew that the call was from Brandon. Brandon had lost his memory. It was easy to guess what he would say to Savanna.
“Savanna, a person without memories is like a block of wood. There is no need to care about what he said. Even if he hurt you, he did it unintentionally. I am not defending Brandon. When he gets his memories back, he’s gonna cry about how he treated you today. At that time, I will teach him a lesson for you.” Said Ethan.
Savanna sobbed and nodded gently.
With the sound of “Ding”, The elevator reached the ground floor. It was dark in the sealed room, and an object could be dimly seen curled up on the ground in the darkness.
Hearing the sound of the door, the unknown object made a noise. And a crisp beep could be heard in the air.
Snap.
Under the light from the ceiling lamps, the dark room suddenly became bright. bavanna saw the face of that unknown object and narrowed hier beautiful eyes. Ratael’s hair was messy, and his mouth was scaled with black tape. His face looked twisted and fierce under the light. His eyes that stared at Savanna were like the Shure from bel
Halael was only wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up, revealing a piece of wheat-colored skin. Savanna could see the oil stains on his prey trousers. Ratachd no shoes on his fact, making him look extremely embarrassed. What made him most depressed and angry was the chain round his waist, the other end of which was attached to a bomb tied to the window. As long as he made a slight movement, the chain would swing and the device would sense it.
The red numbers on the device plate were jumping.
Rafael glanced at Savanna. Then his gaze fell on the red plate for a long time. More and more sweat gathered on his forehead, and he looked so nervous as if he did not dare to breathe. When he calmed down and the red light on the plate went out, he breathed a sigh of relief.
From Rafael’s tired look, it could be seen that he had suffered this torture for a long time.
Living in constant fear kept him from moving at all. If he moved a little bit, he would face the danger of turning into ashes.
Rafael would not have been frightened and reacted so much if it wasn’t for Savanna and Ethan suddenly pushing the door just now.
Although Rafael looked so poor, Savanna was not a saint. In some sense, Savanna hated Rafael. if it wasn’t for Rafael, nothing would have happened to Brandon and Brandon wouldn’t have lost his memory.
Savanna put on a serious face. She asked Rafael, “Tell me, was Brandon framed by you and Tyrell?”
Then she added, “Nod if you do, and if not, shake your head.”
Rafael first nodded, then shook his head lightly, as if deliberately to go against her.
Then Ethan and Savanna backed away.
Rafael half-knelt on the ground, looking embarrassed. He panted heavily, glaring at Savanna and Ethan. The bomb plate behind him lit up and went out over and over. Finally, the red flickered and didn’t get any darker.
Rafael turned around and stared at the flashing red. He said with a knowing smile, “Ethan, this bomb is fake. You just use it to scare me. Unfortunately, I am afraid of nothing now. What can you do about me?”
“Alright.” Ethan nodded and snapped his fingers.
Trevin immediately came in. He was ordered to remove the bomb and changed it into another one.
Although Rafael claimed that he was not afraid, when Trevin placed the new bomb, his heart was again beating wildly.
The bomb just now had terrified him for more than ten hours. He did not expect it to be fake. Now he wasn’t sure that this one was fake, Rafael felt the fear in his heart was like a beast opening its bloody mouth.
He suddenly thought of the potion he had drank just now. The time he spent with Mia flashed through his mind. He thought about Mia’s beauty, Mia’s charm and soft body, the time they made out with each other… Stop! Rafael ordered himself to stop thinking about it.
The door was slammed.
The room suddenly became dark again. Rafael was alone in the quiet night, bearing his sorrow in the corner.
He ordered himself not to forget Mia, who was the only light in his life.
On the way back, Ethan asked Savanna, “Was it really Forgetting Water?”
Savanna smiled slyly. “It’s just a bottle of plain water mixed with vinegar. I just wanted to scare him. But Rafael is not a coward. He won’t be scared. Ethan, we have to get Mia back quickly.”
Mia was Savanna’s only hope to get Rafael to tell the truth.
