Love Has Its Will

Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Savanna didn’t want to mention the grudge between Kadyn and Brandon in front of Lucas, and she guessed that the reason why Kadyn drugged her was mostly because of Brandon. Kadyn had thought that Brandon liked Savanna. Kadyn had overestimated Savanna. Savanna knew even if Kadyn threatened Brandon with her life, Brandon would not care about it because Brandon was just a heartless man. When Savanna woke up and saw Lucas, instead of Brandon, she knew that her guess was right. “Savanna, don’t mind what my mother said. She asked me to apologize to you on her behalf. Go back with me, okay?” Seeing that Savanna did not turn a cold shoulder on him, Lucas apologized first, Savanna withdrew her hand from Lucas’ hand and said with a smile, “Lucas, our marriage is just a deal. I don’t want the share of L&S Limited. You should manage it well…” Before Savanna could finish, Lucas shouted emotionally, “I know you get mad because of those two women. I told you that I won’t go to meet them in the future, and I won’t hang out with any other woman. Savanna, is that okay?” If Lucas had to lose Savanna after canoodling with a few women, he would truly regret it. Savanna cast a deep look at Lucas. There was also a hint of disdain in her eyes. “Why don’t you understand what I mean?” “I don’t understand, and I don’t want to understand it. In short, you can’t leave me.” Lucas reached out and pulled Savanna into his embrace, his chin rubbing against her face. “Savanna, I can’t sleep well without you. Look, I’ve lost weight.” Lucas was clingy right now, like a little puppy. “I don’t mind that you canoodle with other women. We are not a real couple. What I care about is your deception to me.” “I said that I will not lie to you in the future. So, go back with me.”

Savanna looked impatient, as if she didn’t want to talk with Lucas. She pulled out the needle and left without going through the discharge procedures.

Lucas went to go through the discharge procedures for Savanna. Brandon paid a sum of money as a deposit for Savanna’s medical costs. The hospital returned the money to Lucas’ account. Lucas would not tell Savanna, nor would he return the money to Brandon. Lucas was unhappy because Brandon arrived earlier when Savanna was hurt. Lucas thought the money was not enough to heal his mental wound. When Savanna had just walked out of the hospital, she met an acquaintance. “Mary.” The woman was stunned and turned her head slightly. When she saw Savanna, her eyes gradually widened and tears slowly appeared in her eyes. The woman’s lips trembled. She said, “You are … Ms. Thompson.” “Yes, Mary, I’m Savanna Thompson.” Savanna did not expect to meet an acquaintance, and Mary was an old maid who had followed her father for many years. Savanna was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. “Ms. Thompson.” Mary bit her lips and smiled with tears. She grabbed Savanna’s hand and said incoherently, “Ms. “Yes, my chest is always hurting. So I came to the hospital for a check-up.” Savanna helped Mary sit down on the bench. They had not seen each other for a long time and had a lot to say to each other. Mary asked, “Ms. Thompson, are Mr. Cassel and Mandel fine?” When Mandel was mentioned, the light in Savanna’s eyes dimmed. “I have never seen him after the accident.” Mary knew that Savanna meant Mandel. She was slightly surprised. “Are you not with Mr. Cassel? Doesn’t he know that you are still alive?” Savanna replied with a faint smile, “We met before, but we are not together.”

When Mary heard this, she seemed to be unable to accept it. She froze on the spot. After a while, she muttered, “Mr. Cassel loves you so much. How could he abandon you? Ms. Thompson, Mr. Cassel is actually quite good. I’m serious.” Back then, Mary personally witnessed Brandon going crazy. Mary knew very well how infatuated Brandon was. Savanna said, “Mary, don’t talk nonsense. The person he loves is never me, and we can’t be together. I want to see Mandel. He doesn’t allow it.” Savanna felt sad and powerless at the mention of this matter. She hated Brandon in her heart. Hearing Savanna’s words, Mary was anxious. “Ms. Thompson, Mr. Cassel really loves you. Back then, he picked up the skeleton and placed it on the bed, because he thought it was you. No one was allowed to touch it. I heard that he kept the skeleton there for more than two years before he buried it. After that, he didn’t care about Mandel. Giselle was extremely anxious at that time.” Savanna had heard about Brandon putting the skeleton on his bed after collecting it, but this was not the case. Savanna corrected Mary. “That skeleton was Winnie. It’s not me.” Mary was shocked at first. She looked at Savanna and gradually smiled. “Ms. Thompson, when Mr. Cassel went crazy back then, I was a witness. Giselle and Tracy also saw it. Everyone said that Mr. Cassel was crazy. Everyone was also very anxious. It is good that you come back now.” Savanna took Mary to check her body. After that, she sent Mary back to Mary’s rented house. Later, Savanna went back to the hotel. She stood in front of the blinds, looking at the towering buildings outside the window. Mary’s words echoed in her mind again and again. Savanna thought, if Brandon collected the skeleton because he thought it was me, then it meant that his hair turned gray because of me What kind of love could turn a person’s hair gray after he lost his beloved one? Savanna was shocked by the truth. Thinking of the unbearable past that they had experienced, Savanna tightened her grip on her phone.

She gathered her courage and dialed Brandon’s number. The phone rang for two seconds before it went through. “Hello, who are you looking for?” Savanna was shocked by the truth. Thinking of the unbearable past that they had experienced, Savanna tightened her grip on her phone. She gathered her courage and dialed Brandon’s number. The phone rang for two seconds before it went through. “Hello, who are you looking for?” Savanna felt like she had fallen into an icehouse when she heard it was a gentle and soft female voice. “Is Brandon here?” Savanna asked in a hoarse voice. The woman paused. “Brandon went to the bathroom. I will ask him to call back later.” Savanna did not speak again, and the woman on the other side of the line also hung up. Savanna pursed her lips into a faint smile. She thought, he is really lucky. He always has a woman around him. She looked forward to Brandon’s sincerity, but she was always hurt by him. Brandon never lacked women. Brandon came back from the bathroom and looked at his phone. Seeing that there was a call from Savanna, he tilted his head and asked Flora, “You answered the phone call?” Flora bit the straw and took a sip of juice, saying, “Yes, I was afraid that it was an urgent call, so I answered it.” “From now on, you are not allowed to answer the phone call to me.” After Brandon finished speaking, he found a quiet terrace and called back to Savanna. “Savanna. You’re awake? How are you feeling now? I’ll come over later. I have something to do and can’t leave now.” On the other side of the line, Savanna listened quietly. The corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile. “I’m fine. You don’t have to come over. You have company. Stay with her.” Without waiting for Brandon to speak, Savanna directly hung up. Brandon recalled Savanna’s words. He thought, does she mean Flora? Brandon knew that Savanna had misunderstood him. He said to Flora, “You can take a taxi back. I have something urgent to do, so I’ll leave first.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Today, Brandon picked Flora up at the airport. On their way back, Flora said that she hadn’t eaten desserts from a time-honored store for a long time. Later, she pestered Brandon to take her there. For this reason, Brandon could not go away. Seeing that he was misunderstood by Savanna, Brandon was no longer soft-hearted. After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry. Flora paid the money and chased after Brandon. But she was still late and could no longer see Brandon’s car.
