“Ah…”
Winnie screamed. She covered her stomach and lay in a pool of blood. Under her skirt, there was
blood. It looked horrifying.
Savanna’s face was pale, and the luggage in her hand fell to the ground. She was about to go forward
to help Winnie up, but unexpectedly, Brandon moved faster than her. He hastily put on his clothes,
rushed over, reached out to pick up Winnie, and rushed out of the hotel.
Brandon accidentally knocked Savanna down due to his panic. He didn’t even look back at her and just
left in a hurry.
Brandon rushed out and brought along a gust of cold wind that fiercely hit Savanna’s face.
Savanna couldn’t help but shiver. She sat on the cold floor and stared at the dark red blood stains on
the floor, her eyes empty and confused.
Savanna clenched her fists tightly, trying to suppress the urge to run to the hospital.
Savanna wondered, why do I have to go?
Even if Winnie has a miscarriage, it is Winnie’s fault. What does it have to do with me?
Savanna did not know how long she had been frozen. Until her body was numb, she struggled to get
up and sat on the hotel’s snow-white bed in a daze.
Brandon didn’t return.
Savanna slept uneasily. In her dream, she saw Brandon keep blaming her with a ruthless expression.
What he said sounded unpleasant. He said that Winnie lost her baby and that Savanna murdered his
child. He wanted Savanna to pay a painful price.
Brandon’s face was sinister and terrifying.
When Savanna woke up from her dream, she opened her sour eyes. The pillow was wet by her tears
and stuck to her cheek.
Savanna stayed up until dawn. She got up and made the bed. Then she took out her mobile phone to
call Brandon to ask about the situation. Just as the number was dialed, she hesitated and clicked the
end button
Just as Savanna was in a dilemma, a voice came from outside. She looked at the door and saw that
Brandon used the room card to open the door. He looked very tired, and his hair was a little messy. It
seemed that he had been tossing and turning for a night without sleeping. His eyes were bloodshot.
“How … is Winnie?” Savanna asked.
Brandon took off his coat and didn’t look at Savanna. He replied in a bland voice, “The baby is safe,
but she’s a little depressed.”
Savanna glanced at the wrinkled coat in Brandon’s hand. A part of the coat was wet. Winnie should
have cried in his arms after waking up.
That scene wrung Savanna’s heart.
Savanna twisted her fingers together in silence for a long time. She then said, “Do you think I was the
one who harmed her?”
“I did not say that.”
Brandon put his coat on the bed, took clean clothes from his luggage, put them on the bed, and took off
his watch. Then, he walked into the bathroom. Not long later, the sound of running water came from the
bathroom.
Brandon didn’t say that, but he thought so.
Brandon’s cold expression showed that he believed Winnie’s performance.
When Brandon came out of the shower, he glanced at the luggage in the corner that Savanna had
packed. His eyes turned slightly gloomy. “I’ve canceled the plane ticket. I can’t leave for now.”
As Brandon said this, he pulled off the towel on his waist. Regardless of Savanna’s presence, he got
changed.
Savanna turned her face away and said softly, “You can stay with Winnie. I’ll go back to New York.”
“Let’s go together,” Brandon replied as he lowered his head and put on his watch.
“No need. I have other things to do.”
Savanna picked up her luggage and walked to the door. Without thinking, Brandon rushed up and
grabbed her hand.
Savanna looked up at Brandon, who had a gloomier face. Anger welled up inside Savanna. “I didn’t
push her, and I didn’t say those words. Even if Winnie has a miscarriage, it has nothing to do with ine,”
Savanna was not going to take the blame.
Savanna roared.
Brandon stood in front of her. Under great pressure. Savanna was unable to breathe. However, his
expression did not change. There was no trace of joy or anger in his ice-cold eyes.
Savanna felt impotent.
Frustration arose inside her.
After a moment of silence, Brandon raised his hand. Savanna’s figure swayed, and she retreated two
steps in horror. Her face turned pale as she protected her belly.
“You can’t hurt my baby.”
Brandon was stunned. His raised hand froze in mid-air. After a long while, he put his hand back into his
pocket. His fingertips pinched into his palm. The pain was bone-piercing.
He just wanted to hug her. Why did she misunderstand that he wanted to hurt her?
Brandon smiled bitterly. “That is also my child.”
Savanna wondered, Brandon, you love Winnie’s baby more, don’t you? Savanna wanted to ask, but
she held back.
She didn’t dare to ask or discuss this with Brandon because she didn’t have the confidence.
Brandon rubbed Savanna’s hair and said in a gentle tone.
“No matter what, she is injured and can’t go back to New York. She is our friend. We can’t leave her
alone, right?”
There was nothing wrong with this.
What Brandon said gave Savanna an illusion that they were husband and wife, while Winnie was just
an outsider.
But Savanna knew that it was just her illusion.
If Brandon did not care about Winnie, he would not have sent Winnie to the hospital in such a hurry and
stayed in the hospital all night.
“Since she wants to come, why did you let us meet?”
Savanna thought, you know I don’t get along with Winnie.
Brandon, are you happy to see me in pain?
Brandon was surprised by Savanna’s question and explained.
“I didn’t know Winnie would come, Last night, she called and heard my cough. She said she would
come to take care of me. I didn’t agree. Who knew that she … would come today?
“If you don’t like her, I won’t let you meet often.”
