Chapter 73 Brandon stood in the smoking area at the end of the corridor outside the ward, leaning against the guard rail. When he heard the mournful cries coming from the ward, his hand that was holding the cigarette paused slightly. He wanted to ignore the depression Savanna’s crying brought to him. However, he could tell that the low cries were full of grief. Brandon was extremely irritated. He ground out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can. Then, he walked toward the ward. The moment the door was pushed open, the crying immediately stopped. Savanna sat on the bed, her hands covering her face. Slowly, she removed her wet hands. When she saw Brandon walking in, she was slightly stunned. The scene from last night replayed in her mind. Brandon disregarded everything and walked toward Claire, Claire was so scared that she loosened her hands and Mandel fell… What a nightmare! If it wasn’t for Brandon, Mandel wouldn’t have died. Extremely hateful, resentful, and painful, Savanna glared at Brandon. Sensing that Savanna was looking at him in resentment, Brandon stopped walking. He stared at Savanna painfully. Brandon put his hand that wanted to hold Savanna into his arms and clenched it into a fist. Mary came in with a baby in her arms and said, “Ms. Thompson, you’re awake.” Savanna shifted her gaze away from Brandon’s face with difficulty. When she saw the baby in Mary’s arms, her eyes suddenly widened. Savanna got off the bed, stumbled, and looked at the baby in surprise. “Who… Who is this?” Trembling, Savanna asked. Mary said, “Ms. Thompson, this is Mandel.”
“Mandel?” Savanna seemed to not dare believe it. She thought that she was dreaming. She must be. Savanna was so shocked that she took a step back and her face turned pale. Seeing that Savanna did not believe her, Mary was delighted as she said, “Ms. Thompson, this is reallyBelongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Mandel. If you don’t believe me, touch his face.” Savanna stepped forward and reached out to touch Mandel’s warm face. She looked at his small and pointed nose, his rosy lips, and his beautiful face. It was indeed Mandel. The joy immediately occupied Savanna’s mind as she thought, goodness, if it is a dream, never wake me up. Savanna pinched her thigh. The sharp pain hit her. It was not a dream. Savanna was overjoyed. She prabbed Mandel from Marvis arms and lowered her head to kiss Mandel’s face non-stop. With Mandel, Savanna no longer paid attention to anyone around her. It seemed that everyone had nothing to do with her. She only wanted Mandel. Tears welled up in Mary’s eyes. Mary wiped away her tears. Suddenly, her eyes moved away from Savanna and Mandel. Mary looked at Brandon, who had remained silent with a cold expression on his face. “Mr. Cassel, Ms. Thompson…” Brandon did not speak but turned around and left. After a long time, Savanna recovered from her joy. She glanced at the door and found that Brandon had already left. Sensing that Savanna was looking for Brandon, Mary said, “Ms. Thompson, to find Mandel, Mr. Cassel…” As if she was afraid that Savanna would be unhappy, Mary quickly said, “Mr. Cassel made great efforts.” Savanna didn’t seem to want to hear it. She asked Mary to call a doctor to do a comprehensive examination for Mandel. Mary said, “It was done long ago.” Brandon had personally taken Mandel for a comprehensive examination the moment Mandel returned when Savanna was in trance. When Mary told Savanna everything, Savanna was very quiet. Mary could not figure out what Savanna was thinking, so she only said, “In fact, Mr. Cassel cares a lot about Mandel. After all, Mandel is his child. He sent Claire to prison again.” Giselle came. After entering the ward, Giselle directly took Mandel from Savanna’s arms without saying a
word. Looking at Mandel’s delicate appearance, Giselle was very excited. This was the grandson she had hoped for for a long time. Giselle held Mandel in her hands. She knew that Savanna gave birth to Mandel smoothly. Giselle cried for a long time excitedly. When she heard that Mandel was kidnapped by Claire and almost died, she was furious. Eventually, she would find an outlet to vent her anger. Holding Mandel, Giselle couldn’t bear to put him down. She said to Savanna, “Look! He has inherited all the outstanding aspects of you and Brandon. He will be even more handsome and outstanding than Brandon,” Savanna didn’t know what to say, so she kept silent. “Wow, he is so beautiful.” Tracy came with flowers. She handed the flowers to Mary and wanted to carry Mandel from Giselle. However, Giselle did not want to let others hold Mandel. Tracy had to stand beside Giselle and tease “Savanna, what is his name?” Giselle asked. Savanna replied, “I want to call him Mandel.” Mandel. Giselle knew Savanna’s intention. Savanna wanted to use this name to remember David. Giselle thought about it and said, “He is the fourth generation of the Cassel family. So, Mandel Cassel!” Savanna did not say anything, which meant that she had acquiesced to Giselle giving Mandel the surname. In her opinion, any surname was okay. Anyway, she had already decided on Mandel’s name. “Mom, Savanna, let me tell you.” Tracy wanted to claim her credit. “If it weren’t for me, Mandel would be in danger. I knew that Claire was up to no good. That day, I met her by chance and tracked her down all the way. I secretly replaced Mandel with another child that looked like him. Otherwise…” The truth was that Tracy indeed replaced Mandel with another child. The child’s swaddling clothes were similar to Mandel’s. Claire didn’t notice that the child she held was not Mandel because she was delirious. Tracy had other plans for taking Mandel away. Later, when she found out that Brandon was investigating
who had sent Claire out of prison, she quickly contacted Brandon and said that Mandel stayed with her. Tracy said the same words to Brandon. She said that after she met Claire by chance, she found that the child Claire held was Mandel, so she saved Mandel. Brandon did not continue investigating the matter of Claire getting out of prison after he found Mandel. When Brandon saw Cain drive over from the video, he did not know that Claire was threatening Savanna and that the child was not Mandel. Tracy had contacted him only later. Giselle said, “Didn’t Brandon save the child?” Tracy said, “He did. But it was so thrilling. One step later, Mandel would die.” After listening to the conversation between Giselle and Tracy, Savanna felt a chill run down her spine. She did not know if what Tracy said was true or not, but she had long known that Tracy regarded her as an enemy.
