Chapter 283

Seeing how irritable Brandon was, Rex calmly asked with a smile, "What is it? She won't allow you to touch her?"

Brandon was so frustrated. He complained, "It's not like that. She is always suspicious of me. I'm not allowed to talk to any woman. If I did, she would say that the woman liked me. I even hired a man as my secretary. And most of the company's female managers quit. I can put up with all of this.

The important thing is that she doesn't believe me. She has a skeptical attitude towards me no matter what I do."

Rex seemed to have known it all, and he did not replace it strange at all. "I told you before. And you promised that you would endure it. It hasn't been that long. So, Brandon, how deep is your love for her? Is your love for her strong enough to get you and her out of the low point? Can you embrace the day when happiness finally comes?"

Brandon stroked his hair, and he gradually calmed down. He pulled a stool and sat opposite Rex, asking, "Do you have a cigarette? Give me a smoke."

Rex opened the drawer, took out a pack of cigarettes, and threw it to Brandon. "A patient yesterday wanted to smoke. I confiscated it."

Brandon grabbed the pack, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to light it, there was a knock on the door of the ward. A patient was impatient and began to urge Rex.

Brandon had to get up and walk out of the room with the cigarette. He walked to the smoking area, and along the way, he attracted the attention of countless women.

Brandon was born a star, the Mr. Perfect.

He was not in the mood to think about this. Right now, all he was thinking about was how he could get Savanna the antidote.

Rex reminded him. If he didn't love Savanna enough to endure, he couldn't have a future with her. Although he felt annoved, he was sure that he loved Savanna. And he loved her very deeply. His feelings for Savanna would never go away. Even the thought of being away from her tore him apart.

After smoking two cigarettes, when Brandon went back, Rex had already finished checking two patients, and it was time to take the noon break.

Rex was about to go to the hospital cafeteria for lunch. He invited Brandon to go with him. Brandon

wanted to discuss Savanna's condition with Rex, so he went with Rex.

The two of them grabbed something to eat and picked a spot with fewer people to sit down.

Rex said as he ate, "In short, suffer in silence if you still want to be with her. Every time she acts unreasonably you can tell yourself in vour heart that I love her!"

Brandon did not have much appetite as he thought about Savanna's condition. He put down his fork after grabbing a few bites. He pondered for a while and asked, "Rex, can you develop a medicine that can resist the poison in Savanna's body?"

Rex paused as he picked up the food. He raised his head and looked at Brandon, who was sitting opposite him. “It is possible, but it needs huge manpower, materials, and money. The hospital won't invest much in this. You know it is prohibited. Even I can't let it pass, let alone those above

me, including deputy directors, directors, and the hospital's head."

Brandon seemed to have made up his mind and said word by word, "What if I pay for it myself?"

Rex said, "Of course, you can. I can't be a part of it directly. If you want to do it, you need a team, enough money, and you have to poach elites from famous hospitals... Anyway, it's not as simple as we think." Brandon wanted to say something. Seeing that, Rex asked Brandon, "You're wondering how your grandmother did it, right?

"First of all, she comes from a medical family, and she has been influenced since she was a child. Secondly, although the Davis family has fallen, they still have a large number of elites from the past. Mrs. Young is a smart woman. So, instead of letting those elites go, she hired them. She knew they would come in handy one day."

Brandon was angry since Lorena refused to give him the antidote. He said indignantly, "Anyway, I believe that I can do what she can."

Brandon was so determined. Seeing that, Rex agreed, "I'm sure you can do everything with great determination. Just go and get the money ready. I'll do what I can to help."

Rex knew that Brandon did not have much money after being restricted by Lorena. Brandon left

Philadelphia empty-handed with Savanna.

"Are you looking down on me?" Brandon's heart ached as he blurted out.

"See? You are so sensitive." Rex patted himself on the forehead. Then he said in annoyance, "Has Savanna's disease infected you and made you sensitive and suspicious as well?"

Brandon snorted and turned to leave.

Savanna finished her work at the company and dragged herself home. Just as she reached the hallway, she saw a pair of black male leather shoes. Savanna suddenly felt a lump in her throat. Large drops of tears fell from her eyes and dripped onto the tips of her shoes.

"You are back?"

Brandon came out of the kitchen with an apron around his waist. His nose was covered in sweat, and his hair was a little messy because he was busy cooking. Seeing that, Savanna wasn't so down anymore. She took off her shoes, put on her slippers, and walked over to him. The distance between them was so close that they could see the fetal hair on each other's temples.

Brandon rubbed her temple and said in a hoarse voice, "Still angry?"

Savanna shook her head. She threw herself into his embrace and buried her face in his chest. Her voice was suppressed and pained. She said, "I wasn't angry. I was just afraid that you wouldn't come back. Brandon, I can't live without you."

Brandon raised his hands and hugged her tightly. "Don't worry. I will not leave even if you shoot me."

When Brandon left in the morning, Savanna was very panicked and confused. By the time she reached the elevator, her legs were limp, and her mind was a mess. Brandon did not give her a single call the entire afternoon. She was depressed and nervous. It was only when she saw his shoes at the door that she was relieved.

"Forgive me. I don't know why I'm the way I am today. I know I'm very annoyed. Even I hate who I am right now. But I can't control it. Every time I see you talking to those women, I feel upset. It drives me crazy Brandon, am I like this because of the medicine?"

Thinking of the fact that the medicine could control her thoughts and emotions, Savanna was terrified.

Brandon didn't want to hide it from her, so, he slightly nodded and hummed.

After Savanna got the answer, she suddenly stopped talking and became completely quiet.

Brandon was worried that she would frustrated and that she couldn't ke it. He quickly comforted her, "I just went to Rex. We've decided. We are going to organize a medicine research team to develop the antidote for you. Savanna, don't think too much. Just stay at home. I'll take care of the company."

In her vague consciousness, Savanna felt something stuck in her stomach, so uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit, cry, and hit someone.

She heard hurried footsteps and unorderly breathing, and the atmosphere was intense. A voice calling out to her stood out, "Savanna, hang in there. Don't go to sleep, Savanna."

The voice sounded anxious and panicked. It sounded like Brandon.

What happened to her? Without time to think, Savanna fainted again.

By the time Savanna woke up, it was already noon the next day.

The ceiling was white, and so was the wall. Then Savanna suddenly saw a man's figure. He leaned back his head and fell asleep in his chair. Savanna sized his face up. His facial features were delicate, and there was stubble covering his tough jaw. He was still handsome. Savanna's gaze fell on his sexy Adam's apple. She had kissed it countless times.

The suit he was wearing was still the same ash-colored suit he wore yesterday. He did not change his clothes. Did he stay here for her all night?

Savanna raised her head and looked at the blazing sun outside the window. Indeed, she had been

unconscious for the entire night, and he had stayed here, keeping an eye on her.

People said that one could only see through others after experiencing certain things.

She raised her hand and gently held one of Brandon's hands on his knees.

The warm feeling on the back of his hand touched Brandon's heartstrings.

His eyelids under his long eyelashes fluttered, and he opened his eyes. When he saw Savanna's misty eyes, he was shocked. His heart ached. He sat up straight and held her hand. He asked eagerly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Tell me. I'll go to Rex."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and was about to call Rex.

Savanna pulled her hand out of his palm and pressed the hand that held his phone. "I'm fine."

Seeing that Savanna looked normal, Brandon was then relieved.

He mumbled, "You made me worried sick last night. Why did you take so much medicine for no reason? Did you want to die?"

It sounded like he was scolding her. No one knew how anxious and distressed he was.

Hearing that, Savanna remembered that the reason why she fainted last night was that she had taken too much medicine prescribed by Rex.

"Rex gave you medicine, not candy. You almost died last night. lost your life. Don't do that ever again."

Brandon got up from his chair. His face was a bit cold. It was not because he was unhappy. It was because he was terrified. This morning, he had been at Savanna's side, but she still did not wake up. He went to Rex and questioned Rex, "What medicine did you give her? Rex, I want to beat you up.

"Can you blame me? Who takes medicine as candy? Only fools would do that." Rex was telling the truth. Then he continued, "Brandon, Savanna loves you so much. She was afraid that you would leave. It was too painful for her to live. She wanted to end her life for good and all."

Brandon was so angry. He wanted to stab himself with a knife.

Why did he quarrel with her last morning?

After she came back last night, she gave him the silent treatment. Then her medicine kicked in.

He was this close to losing Savanna forever.

He couldn't accept it. He wouldn't accept it.

Seeing that he was angry, Savanna took a sip of water to calm herself down and replied in a low voice, "OK. I will be good. Don't be angry, OK?"

Brandon felt like he was a bad wolf as she stared at him with her watery, innocent eyes.

The love they shared made him cautious and fearful, while she became overly concerned with what she had to the point of being a little out of her mind.

He was so tired.

However, he would never give up. Once they developed the antidote, Savanna could get better. He looked forward to the happy life of the family of three. Savanna also felt tired, but she would not give up either. For her, Brandon was everything.

She could live without Mandel, but she could not be without Brandon. It was the result of the poison controlling her mind.

Does it have anything to do with you at all, Mr. Stone?" Brandon was being utterly blunt.

Brandon went upstairs.

By the time he changed his clothes and came down, Lizeth had already left. Seth was standing outside the door and waiting. Mandel was in Savanna's arms, and they were sitting on the sofa. Savanna was telling stories for Mandel.

"I'm leaving."

Brandon walked up to Mandel and Savanna, buttoning his suit.

By the time Savanna raised her head, Brandon had already left. She only heard a loud whistle coming from the courtyard.

"Come back early."

Savanna pulled Mandel and ran to the door, yet she only got to see Brandon's car as it sped away.
