Chapter 468
Randall sighed theatrically and turned back. “Of course I have,” he
said. “You already know that. Monitoring the cameras is basically my
job.”
“Why is there even a camera in here?” I demanded. “Are you that sick
that you watched your brother get injected with sedatives and said
nothing?” My voice shook. “You saw that man come in here. Didn’t
you?”
Silence.
“Answer me!”
“Yes.” The word landed with a certain weight even though he’d just
said casually. “I saw him.”
My vision blurred. “How many times?” I whispered. “How long has
this been happening?”
Randall studied me. “What do you think, Savannah?”
The bile rose in my throat. “You’re disgusting.”

He tilted his head. “Am I? Or am I just doing what I was raised to do?”
“He’s your brother for crying out loud!”
“Yes,” he agreed calmly. “But brothers don’t disappear for years
without a word. That’s not exactly the definition of loyalty, is it?”
I staggered back, stunned. “That doesn’t excuse this. How could you?”
His gaze sharpened–just slightly. “It’s hard to see things from
another perspective when you’ve been labeled a bad guy your entire
life.”
I said nothing.
“I have one job,” he continued. “And I do it well.” He glanced at his
watch. “Excuse me. I’m late for dinner.”
Reese stepped aside. Randall walked out. Just like that. When the
door shut, the silence was suffocating.
River grabbed my arm, panic written across her face. “What do we do
now?”
“I’m moving in with Roman,” I said immediately. “I’m staying here. I
don’t care if I have to sleep on the floor.”

Reese shook his head. “You’re not sleeping on the floor in your
condition. I’ll have your bed brought in.”
“I’ll help,” River said.
I scanned the room, heart racing. “Where is it?”
“What?” Reese asked. “What are you talking about?”
“That camera.” I said. “I’m going to smash it. I want to get rid of it. If
I’m going to be sleeping in here then I don’t want your creepy brother
watching me.”
He caught my wrist gently. “Ramsey will handle it. He’s good with
cameras. If father asks, I’ll tell him you’re moving in and you want
privacy.”
“Thank you,” I breathed. “About Doctor Ben. How do we get him in
here to flush his system? Your father will find out from Randall. Or
even the staff. Especially the guards.”
River nodded.
“About that, Savannah,” Reese continued, “Doctor Ben–bringing him
here isn’t possible.”

Fear clawed at my chest. “Then what? What do we do?”
“Since you’re moving in here, I doubt that peasant is going to have
the guts to sedate Roman. So, basically, if the guard doesn’t give him
more sedatives,” Reese said slowly, “there’s a chance Roman’s body
will flush them out naturally.”
Hope flickered. “So he’ll wake up soon?”
“There’s a chance,” he said carefully.
“How soon?” I asked frantically. “Will he remember me? Will he-”
“I don’t know, okay?” Reese snapped, exhausted. “We’ll just have to
find out if he wakes up. In the meantime, make sure you’re always
around him. Just stay with him. Talk to him. That might help.
