Chapter 73
Brandon stood in the smoking area at the end of the corridor outside the ward, leaning against the guard rail. When he heard the mournful cries coming from the ward, his hand that was holding the cigarette paused slightly. He wanted to ignore the depression Savanna’s crying brought to him. However, he could tell that the low cries were full of grief.
Brandon was extremely irritated. He ground out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can. Then, he walked toward the ward.
The moment the door was pushed open, the crying immediately stopped. Savanna sat on the bed, her hands covering her face. Slowly, she removed her wet hands. When she saw Brandon walking
in, she was slightly stunned. The scene from last night replayed in her mind. Brandon disregarded everything and walked toward Claire, Claire was so scared that she loosened her hands and Mandel fell… What a nightmare!
If it wasn’t for Brandon, Mandel wouldn’t have died.
Extremely hateful, resentful, and painful, Savanna glared at Brandon.
Sensing that Savanna was looking at him in resentment, Brandon stopped walking. He stared at Savanna painfully. Brandon put his hand that wanted to hold Savanna into his arms and clenched it into a fist.
Mary came in with a baby in her arms and said, “Ms. Thompson, you’re awake.”
Savanna shifted her gaze away from Brandon’s face with difficulty. When she saw the baby in Mary’s arms, her eyes suddenly widened. Savanna got off the bed, stumbled, and looked at the baby in surprise.
“Who… Who is this?” Trembling, Savanna asked.
Mary said, “Ms. Thompson, this is Mandel.”
“Mandel?” Savanna seemed to not dare believe it. She thought that she was dreaming. She must be. Savanna was so shocked that she took a step back and her face turned pale.
Seeing that Savanna did not believe her, Mary was delighted as she said, “Ms. Thompson, this is really Mandel. If you don’t believe me, touch his face.”
Savanna stepped forward and reached out to touch Mandel’s warm face. She looked at his small and pointed nose, his rosy lips, and his beautiful face. It was indeed Mandel.
The joy immediately occupied Savanna’s mind as she thought, goodness, if it is a dream, never wake me up.
Savanna pinched her thigh. The sharp pain hit her. It was not a dream. Savanna was overjoyed. She prabbed Mandel from Marvis arms and lowered her head to kiss Mandel’s face non-stop.
With Mandel, Savanna no longer paid attention to anyone around her. It seemed that everyone had nothing to do with her. She only wanted Mandel.
Tears welled up in Mary’s eyes. Mary wiped away her tears. Suddenly, her eyes moved away from Savanna and Mandel. Mary looked at Brandon, who had remained silent with a cold expression on his face.
“Mr. Cassel, Ms. Thompson…”
Brandon did not speak but turned around and left.
After a long time, Savanna recovered from her joy. She glanced at the door and found that Brandon had already left.
Sensing that Savanna was looking for Brandon, Mary said, “Ms. Thompson, to find Mandel, Mr. Cassel…”
