Chapter 292


    Afraid that Veronica would not believe him, Gordon kowtowed and blood flowed from his forehead.


    Seeing Gordon’s face covered with blood, Veronica was heartbroken and angry. When she was about to


    faint, Seth helped her in time. Gordon was scared. He got up from the ground and shouted to Seth,


    “Seth, please send her to the hospital. Thank you! I will help Mr. Cassel to find Chandler.”


    At this moment, saving Veronica was the most important thing. Seth carried her and rushed out of the


    prison.


    Brandon was leaning against the car, lowering his head to smoke. When Seth carried Veronica out,


    he saw that Veronica was twitching.


    When Seth carried Veronica into the car, Brandon had already sat in the driver’s seat. He started the


    engine and headed to the hospital.


    With Rex’s help, Veronica finally was saved and out of harm’s way.


    Gordon burst into tears when he heard the news. He asked the jailers to tell Brandon some locations


    where Brandon might find Chandler.


    Brandon immediately sent his men to Chandler’s hometown as well as Chandler’s lover’s


    hometown. The feedback was that Chandler had not gone back.


    If he couldn’t find Chandler, then Savanna’s illness could not be cured.


    Savanna knew the details from Seth about Brandon searching for the antidote. She was a little


    depressed. In the past two days, she had clearly felt world-weary. She disliked everything and was not


    interested in anything.


    As for her appearance, it seemed to be quietly changing. She aged. Now, looking at herself in the mirror


    became something she was afraid of. However, she had to put on gorgeous makeup in front


    of the mirror every day. Her makeup became thicker and thicker as her face changed. The more she


    looked at herself in the mirror, the sadder she was.


    She was more and more afraid of meeting Brandon.


    On this day, Savanna put on thick makeup and took Mandel to the yard to y. They sat on the swing.


    Mandel nestled in Savanna’s arms. He was facing the sky with a smile and bright eyes. It was obvious


    that Mandel was so happy.


    Savanna looked down at Mandel’s ruddy face. Her fingertips gently touched Mandel’s face. “Mandel, if I


    be ugly, will you still love me?”


    Mandel, a five-year-old child, did not seem to understand the real meaning of Savanna’s words. He just


    raised his head and stared at Savanna. “Savanna, you are as beautiful as a fairy. How can you be


    ugly?”


    Savanna lovingly rubbed the hair on his temples and smiled, “I mean what if.”


    Mandel hugged her with his tender arms and said firmly, “Impossible. My mom will not be


    ugly.”


    This was the first time Mandel called Savanna mom.


    Mandel’s soft voice directly touched Savanna. Tears welled up in Savanna’s eyes. She cleared her throat


    before saying, “You are right. That’s impossible.”


    Mandel saw the sorrow and loneliness in Savanna’s eyes. He quickly said, “Savanna, even if you


    really became ugly, I would still love you as I always did.”

    Mandel said that he would still love Savanna as he always did.


    Savanna felt that this was the most pleasant voice, the most pleasant words in this world.


    She was deeply touched and began to sob. Savanna then gently said “OK.” She hugged Mandel and


    kissed him on the forehead. The tears from the corners of her eyes were about to fall on Mandel’s


    forehead. Savanna quickly turned away and quietly wiped away the tears on her face.


    Upstairs, Brandon stood by the window where he could see Mandel and Savanna on the swing. When


    he saw Savanna raise her hand to wipe away her tears, the irritation in his heart intensified.


    Brandon lowered his head and took a puff of smoke. As the smoke swirled, Rex arrived. “Your health


    report ofst month showed that many of your indicators were abnormal. Don’t smoke too much. It’s so


    harmful to your health.”


    Brandon ignored Rex’s words. Rex muttered to himself, “Honest advice is always hard to take.”


    Brandon’s low and husky voice sounded. “How is the medical research team doing?”


    Rex clearly felt Brandon’s anxiety. “The research and development of an antidote are not as easy as


    other things. Besides, what they are developing is not a kind of usual medicine. But, I was told that only


    one or two ingredients have not been determined yet. As long as the form is made, they can start


    producing medicine.”


    Brandon looked up at Rex. “How long will it take?”


    Rex’s eyes shed. “It depends.”


    Brandon scratched his hair in frustration. He extinguished the cigarette between his fingers and said in


    an unsteady voice, “Rex, I can’t wait any longer.”


    Rex said, “Your loyalty to Savanna is so touching.”


    As Rex spoke, he walked to the window and followed Brandon’s gaze. He saw Savanna and Mandel


    ying on the swing. Mandel was very naughty and kept tickling Savanna. Savanna was also tickling


    him. Theyughed on the swing and finally got tired. Mandel jumped off the swing. Savanna


    stood up and took Mandel’s hand, walking toward the hall with him.


    Savanna looked up and looked at their building. Rex was sure that Savanna did not see them, but Rex


    clearly saw the loneliness in Savanna’s eyes and the sadness on her face.


    Rex looked at Brandon and saw that Brandon was smoking while staring at Savanna.


    “I can see that you are burning with desire. Just don’t let Savanna know. Any prostitute can satisfy you


    and cool you down.”


    Hearing Rex’s suggestion, Brandon just gave him a cold gaze.


    “Well, just forget about what I said.” Rex raised his hands and curled his lips.


    Brandon said, “The reason why I am anxious is not that I can’t have her, but…”


    Brandon lit up the cigarette and exhaled slowly. “She’s been in a bad mood recently. The makeup on


    her face is getting thicker and thicker. Moreover, she … doesn’t seem to want to see me.”


    Savanna did not want to see him and was intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him, which bothered


    Brandon.


    Others might not understand Brandon’s words, but Rex understood.


    Savanna’s emotions were affected by the drug. Besides, that drug would slowly erode her beauty. As a


    woman, Savanna surely wanted to show off her most beautiful side in front of her lover.


    How could she bear to turn ugly?


    The panic in her heart almost tore her apart.


    That feeling made her life a living hell.


    Rex left.


    Brandon went downstairs. He had just met Savanna when Jim called him.


    He had something to do in thepany and wanted to talk to Savanna before leaving, but Savanna and


    Mandel stayed in the bathroom and did note out for a long time.


    Brandon really couldn’t wait any longer and could only leave.


    In the evening, Brandon returned to the Rose Vis with exhaustion. Lizeth came to him, took his jacket


    off, and hung it on the hanger, saying, “Mr. Young, Savanna is not feeling well. She took medicine and


    fell asleep. She asked you to sleep in the guest room tonight.”


    Brandon was not surprised about that at all and calmly epted it.


    He went into the guest room to take a shower, then put on his watch, took off the bath towel at his


    waist, and put on his pajamas. After that, he stood in front of the window and smoked. The birds


    singing came in through the window. The calmness and silence in the room made him a little crazy.


    Now, he had to suppress the desire and anger in his heart and calm himself down.
