Brandon did not speak The coldness in his eyes was like ice. “For how long?
Brandon’s eyes were filled with impatience
Seeing that, Chloe was a bit sad. She stepped forward and wanted to hold Brandon’s arm, but he
dodged.
Under the moonlight, a hint of sadness flashed across Chloe’s eyes,
“Shelton, don’t get me wrong. I’m not going to make you do anything, and it’s even less likely tor me to
use it to blackmail you into marrying me. Mandel is yours, and he is a good boy. I like him. I’m glad that
may bone marrow matches his.”
Brandon’s face and voice were cold. He said, “11 you’re so kind, why wait for me to find you? Back
then, you said that you came to me on Mrs. Young’s orders, and you cald you could find match for
Mandel’s bone marrow. Chloe, you know very well the reason why I became a part of the Young lamily.”
Back then, Mandel was sick, and Brandon couldn’t find in one to help them. He was almost desperate.
It was Chloe who came to him and said that he was the missing son of the Young trilly Brandon’s
parents died, Ver Lorend was still there, and she had spared no effort to look for Brandon these years
“Yes, I do.”
Chloe nodded, “You agreed to go with me to see Mrs. Young bocuse you wanted the Young family to
treat Mandel Al that time, I didn’t know that my bone marrow could match Mandel’s. You have to
believe me if you don’t believe me. you can ask Rex. I was in New York when I learned that my bone
marrow could match Mandel’s and you could see no one but Savanna. I was afraid that Savanna would
stand in the WIV, so, I didn’t dare to tell VOLL
No one would believe chloe’s words whatsoever.
Brandon’s gaze was still very cold. “Your bone marrow is a match tor Mandel. It has nothing to do with
me and
Savanna’s reunion,”
“That’s not true!” Chloe was excited. Her eyes were watery. ‘You love her so much. You won’t hurt her.
If she finds out that my bone marrow is a match for Mandel, she will be so jealous.”
Brandon didn’t want to argue with her, so, he cut to the chase and said, “You said you were willing to
be the donor. And I intend to believe you. Then, may I ask, how long does it take you to get ready?”
Chloe hesitated. She said, “You’d have to ask the doctor about that.”
Chloe was alraid that Brandon wouldn’t believe her, so she asked Brandon to go to the hospital with
her.
Anything related to Mandel’s life was a matter of great importance for Brandon.
Brandon came with Chloe.
The female doctor in the white robe was Sandra Camp, a lamious medical doctor in Philadelphia.
Sandra said to Brandon, “Although Ms. Gilbert’s bone marrow is compatible with your kid, judging from
all indicators, she is very weak she needs at least hall a year, and then we’ll see.”
Chiloe lanced at Brandon and asked Sandra hastily. “Can we do the operation sooner? The kid can’t
wait.”
Sandra looked at the film in her hand and shook her head after a moment of silence. “There are a few
indicators that are too laroll. Hall a year is a conservative estimate. Ms. Gilbert, you know better than
anybody what you’ve been through…”
ciloc Immediately interrupted Sandra, “I Nee. Thank you, Ms. Camp.”
Chloe pullet Hrandon away
The moment they walked out of the doctor’s office, Brandon pushed her arms away.
Chloe was upset, but she had it well. Her rosy lips curved slightly. “Brandon, I didn’t lie to you, right? In
fact, I’m more anxious than you when seeing Mandellike that, but there’s nothing I can do right now!”
Arandon lowered his eyes, his expression stilt. “II’s OK. Of course, I believe you.”
Brandon was skeptical, but he knew that he shouldn’t offend Chloe.
Alter all, her bone marrow was a match for Mandel.
As if she could read Brandon’s mind, Chloe said in a gentle voice, “Shelton, don’t worry. I will take care
of myself. I am not all by myself now. I have to take care of myself for the sake of Mandel. I heard that
Mandel got a nosebleed. You better get back. We’ll be in touch.”
With that, Chloe turned around and got in the car.
Brandon pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth and scratched his hair in frustration. He called
Seth and said, “Do some digging about Sandra Camp from the Nelson Hospital. Also, track Chloe. See
what tricks she has been playing lately. Don’t let Mrs. Young know about this.”
Seth sensed the anger in Brandon’s words.
Seth said, “Understood. Don’t worry. Chloe won’t know.”
If Chloe found out that they were investigating her, Lorena would naturally know as well.
Before Lorena handed over the full authority of the Young Group to Brandon, Brandon had to be careful
about Lorena.
The next morning, Brandon carried some breakfast boxes into the ward. There was no one in the ward.
Brandon glanced at the bathroom and saw two figures, one big and one small, facing the mirror on the
wall and washing their faces. They saw Brandon’s face in the mirror. Mandel’s eyes narrowed into the
shape of a crescent moon. He opened his mouth which was bubbling and said, “Dad, you are here.”
Brandon was glad when he saw that Mandel was very happy today. Brandon glanced at Savanna,
while she was also looking at him. He smiled at her and waved the breakfast boxes in his hand. “It’s for
you two. Come out and eat after you’re done.”
With that, Brandon turned around and walked to the bed, opening the breakfast boxes one by one and
placing the
tableware
Mandel came out of the bathroom first. He was wearing a pair of big sandals, which were too large for
his small feet. He stumbled along the way.
Brandon was afraid that Mandel would fall, so he quickly came over and carried Mandel to bed.
Mandel’s shoes fell oft his feet.
Savanna wiped her face and the wet hair on her temples.
Brandon said to Savanna, “These shoes are too big. What if Mandel trips over?”
“It was I who wanted to wear the shoes. Dad, Kadyn called you just now. He said he was coming to
visit me.”
Brandon immediately shifted his gaze to Savanna after hearing Mandel’s words. “Did Kadyn call you!”
“Yes,” Savanna responded softly, holding a clothing rack to dry the towel. “He said he was on a
business trip and
heard that Mandel was sick, so, he wanted to come over.”
Brandon felt the urge to ask Savanna whether she was still in touch with Kadyn.
But he managed to swallow the question back.
He took a box and handed it to Mandel, rubbing Mandel’s hair. “Eat quickly. Or it’ll get cold.”
“OK, dad.” Mandel ate. He said, “Dad, Kadyn is not a bad guy. Don’t be so wary of him. He was just not
thinking straight. In fact, he is nice to me.”
Mandel was smart, but he was just a child. How could he see through human nature?
Brandon pursed his lips and said nothing.
Mandel glanced at Savanna, frowned, and turned to ask Brandon, “Where did you go last night?”
Brandon did not intend to answer, but when he raised his head, he met Savanna’s cold gaze. She
frowned as if she was asking, “Where did you go last night?”
“Working overtime.”
Perhaps it was out of instinct, or perhaps he had the answer ready long ago.
Last night, when Brandon was planning to go see Chloe, he had already figured out the answer to this
question.
