Savanna was at a loss of what to say in the face of her biological mother, who seemed to be
unreasonable and angry.
Renee thought that Savanna was afraid of her, so she spoke even more unscrupulously, “Hey, are you
ugly, or have you disfigured? You don’t even dare to show your true face. How dare you shout at me?”
As Renee’s words got more outrageous, Savanna’s lips got paler. Mia grabbed Renee and begged for
mercy, “Mom, you can hit me and scold me. I have no complaints, but she is different. You’d better take
away your hands.”
Renee shook off Mia, as if she would not let Savanna off.
“Is she your friend or your classmate? She’s so young. Why is she wearing a mask? She must have
done a lot of bad things and was chased by her enemies. Is that so?”
Mia glanced at Savanna. Unable to bear it any longer, she roared, “She is the daughter you lost and
have been looking for for many years.”
Renee paled as she heard it. There was a buzzing in her ears. At this moment, she felt as if she could
not hear any sound in the world at all. Mia’s words kept ringing in her ears.
In an instant, Renee felt as if her brain was short of blood. A numbing pain spread from her cervical
spine to the top of her head. Her legs went limp, and she was about to fall down. Mia stepped forward
to support her in time. Savanna wanted to go forward to help her, but she felt it was inappropriate. Of
course, she was more worried that Renee would not recognize her, refused her, and got mad with her.
Therefore, she just clenched her fists and did not move.
Renee was helped to sit in the chair by Mia. She panted as she stared at Savanna’s face. She did not
seem to believe what Mia had said. Although Mia was a little rebellious, she knew that Mia was kind-
hearted inside and would not lie to her. Renee’s eyes slowly turned tearful. Her lips trembled as she
asked, “Are you really my daughter?”
Savanna pursed her lips and remained silent.
Renee got up and staggered over to Savanna. Her steps were unstable, and her whole body was
shaking as if she had just had a big operation.
Savanna tried several times, but she couldn’t help it, so she reached out and held Renee’s arm.
Renee did not reject her. Instead, she extended her trembling hand and slowly touched Savanna’s soft
mask. Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. Renee was so excited that her entire body
trembled.
Mia sighed, tears glistening in her eyes. She said, “Yes, she is my sister. I found her for you. Her name
is Savanna
Thompson.”
The emotional atmosphere got even sadder because of Mia’s words.
Renee seemed to be clear-headed. Her expression was no longer as fierce as before. She stared at
Savanna with gentleness in her eyes.
A mood of melancholy descended on Savanna.
She held back her tears. When she was about to say something, Renee’s hand that was holding her
mask suddenly changed direction. Savanna realized that Renee was about to remove her mask. Her
eyes widened. She slapped Renee’s hand away and quickly turned around with her back to Renee.
Ever since Mla learned that Savanna was the daughter Renee lost when Savanna was a baby, she had
been keeping an eye on Savanna and Brandon’s movements. She knew very well what happened to
Savanna’s face.
Mia knew that Savanna cared a lot about her appearance, especially in front of Brandon.
Seeing that Renee was about to walk forward again, Mia grabbed her hand and pleaded in a soft voice,
“Mom, her face is injured. She can only wear a mask for the time being. Don’t push her too hard,
okay?”
When Renee heard that Sayanna was injured, she felt sorry for Savanna. She did not dare to ask
Savanna what happened. She was afraid that Savanna would turn around and run away, so she
grabbed Mia’s hand and anxiously said, “How did she get injured? Is it serious? Can she recover?”
Seeing her mother so anxious, Mia was afraid that she would be unable to suppress her emotions. She
said in a hurry, “She will recover. It’s just…”
Mia looked at Savanna. When she saw that Savanna had slowly turned around, her worried heart
finally found some peace. “She has to wear a mask for now. When her face recovers in the future, she
will let you see it, okay?”
Mia was afraid that Renee would go mad again, so she persuaded Renee carefully.
Renee’s eyes were glued to Savanna’s face from beginning to end. After a while, she seemed to have
thought of something. She walked over and stood in front of Savanna. She was about the same height
as Savanna. She looked into Savanna’s eyes. Her voice was very soft and gentle, “I know that it is a
little difficult for you to accept me as your mother right now. But, my dear daughter, I have been missing
you for more than twenty years. Please forgive my rudeness just now.”
Renee rubbed her hands. It could be seen that she was extremely nervous. She apologized to
Savanna for her impolite behavior just now.
Savanna could not ignore Renee’s trembling body and panicked eyes. Her mother was always an
abnormal person. Perhaps, that was related to her loss.
Savanna said, “I won’t blame you. You don’t have to be so nervous.”
Renee’s heart which was about to jump out of her throat finally calmed down. Renee took a deep
breath. She tried a few times before she firmly grasped Savanna’s hand. Her face was full of worry, and
she spoke incoherently, “My dear daughter, I finally found you. It’s great that you’re back. Your father
won’t blame me. Let’s go and see your father.”
Savanna didn’t move and looked at Mia in confusion.
When Mia heard Renee mention Savanna’s father, Mia scolded Renee, “Are you crazy again? He
doesn’t want you anymore. Why do you still want to see him?”
Renee couldn’t forget her first lover. That’s what Mia hated the most about Renee.
Renee’s expression changed, and she suddenly shouted at Mia, “What do you know? Life has been
hard for him in the past years. If I hadn’t lost his daughter, he wouldn’t have treated me like that. Now
that I have found his daughter, he will be happy and forgive me.”
Seeing that her mother was being unreasonable again, Mia was upset and anxious. She covered her
forehead with her hand and said, “How many times have I told you? Back then, he used the excuse
that you lost his daughter to break up with you, Mom, it’s been so many years. Why are you still
thinking about him? He’s living a wonderful life.”
In order to make Renee give up, Mia continued, “He appeared on the news every day. His career is
getting bigger and bigger, and his relationship with his wife is getting better and better. His sons are
excellent. You are just one of the girls he had for fun when he was young.”
“Shut up.” Renee stepped forward and slapped Mia again.
Mla did not care and shouted at Renee, “You will never be willing to face reality. You said that he loves
you, but did he ever come to see you once over the past years? When we were in trouble, did he lend
a hand?”
Renee was stunned for a moment. She suddenly lost her mind. She anxiously walked back and forth.
She then stopped and looked at Mia with burning eyes, “He was busy, so he didn’t come to see me. He
told me that he never liked Ashley Baber. They married for business purposes, and the woman he
loves is always me.”
Renee was stubborn. Mia felt frustrated. She shouted desperately, “How many a man’s words can be
taken seriously? Besides, he said those words to you twenty years ago. Perhaps, in his heart, he has
long forgotten your appearance and even you.”
Renee flattered herself and always thought that she was loved.
Renee probably couldn’t stand Mia’s words. She began to smash things and lost her mind. No one
could persuade her. When she went crazy, it was quite terrifying.
Savanna was afraid that Renee would hurt herself, so she rushed forward to control Renee.
Unexpectedly, Renee grabbed Savanna’s hand and bit it.
A sharp pain ran through Savanna, causing her to break out in cold sweat.
When the emergency alarm rang, the doctor rushed over. He injected a tranquilizer into Renee’s fair
skin. Renee rolled her eyes and immediately fainted.
Savanna and Mia carried Renee onto the bed. Savanna removed Renee’s shoes.
Mia was so tired that she collapsed into a chair.
After resting for a while, Mia went to pay Renee’s medical fees.
Just as Savanna was about to ask Mia about something, Brandon called, “You’re not home?”
“I came out for something and will be back soon.”
Brandon went back home from work and did not see Savanna, so he called.
“Alright.” Brandon hung up.
When Mia heard it was a call from Brandon, her face turned cold. She walked out of the ward and
leaned against the wall to smoke.
Savanna followed and whispered, “It’s not good for your health to smoke too much.”
Although Mia agreed with that, she still lowered her head and gave a long pull to her cigarette, as if she
wanted to vent all the depression in her heart.
“Can you tell me who my biological father is?”
From the intense argument between Renee and Mia, Savanna could tell that her biological father was
not only still alive, but also a very capable person. When he was young, he once loved Renee, and she
was the evidence of their love.
