Chapter 76
Savanna pushed Brandon aside. She was about to rush upstairs when Tracy appeared and blocked Savannaâs way, saying awkwardly, âSavanna, grandpa said that you canât go up.â
Savannaâs gaze swept over Tracy and landed at the door. She couldnât get in; the whole place was guarded. Savannaâs heart was broken. She stroked the wall, bent down, and slowly knelt.
Tracy looked upstairs and pretended to exclaim, âSavanna, what are you doing? Get up.â
With that, Tracy reached out to help Savanna. Savanna didnât stand up. She looked at the tightly closed door and said firmly, âTracy, please go in and tell grandfather that I wonât see if I canât see Mandel.â
Tracy was laughing in her heart. However, she pretended to be anxious. âSavanna, why are you doing this?â
Tracy could not help Savanna up. She turned around and knocked on Averyâs door. Before she could make a sound, she heard Averyâs loud and cold voice from inside. âDonât stop her. Mandel belongs to the Cassel family.
Tracy did not dare to provoke Avery. She stepped out and met Savannaâs gaze with a trace of
sympathy.
Giselle rushed upstairs. Seeing Savanna kneeling on the cold ground, she said with distress, âSavanna, the ground is too cold. You just gave birth not long ago. You should pay more attention to your health.â
Giselleâs words didnât work. Savanna acted as if she did not hear anything. She lowered her head
and bit her lips as if she could not get up without seeing Mandel. Giselle was anxious and angry, but there was nothing she could do. She went downstairs and complained to Brandon, âThey got into a fight.
Itâs all because of you. If you didnât divorce, things wouldnât happen today.â
Brandon stood rooted to the spot. His face was gloomy. His hand was clenched into a fist in his trouser pocket.
The atmosphere in the villa was so heavy.
Debbie sent lunch upstairs and saw Savanna kneeling on the ground. Savannaâs back was straight,
Debbie wanted to persuade Savanna, but she did not know what to say. She thought, the newborn
baby is about to be separated from his mother. Thatâs terrible!
However, Avery did not allow his descendants to wander outside. There seemed to be nothing wrong with Avery. Everyone had his position and worries.
Debbie sent the food in and came out. When she passed Savanna, she squatted down and handed the
food to Savanna, âSavanna, eat something,â
âThank you, Debbie. Iâm not hungry.â
Savannaâs lips were so dry that they were peeling. The sunset outside the window was projected on her face. Her skin looked faint and cold. It was not normal.
The sight tugged at Debbieâs heartstrings. âWhy make things difficult for yourself?â
Savanna pursed her lips and said nothing. Debbie wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes. After
that, she took the food away.
Debbie walked to the hall and saw that Brandon was sitting on the sofa and smoking with a cold
expression. The cigarette butts in the ashtray were almost full. This reflected Brandonâs anxiety.
However, there was nothing to do about it. Debbie shook her head and returned to the kitchen with
the food.
The sun soon set. The villa was shrouded in darkness.
There was a click upstairs. At the same time, the servant cried in alarm, âMrs. Cassel.â
Brandon did not even extinguish the cigarette. He threw the cigarette into the ashtray, got up from the sofa, and rushed upstairs. Brandon pushed away the servantâs hand, picked Savanna up from
the ground, and rushed back to his room,
The doctor quickly came over. After examining Savanna, the doctor said to Brandon, âHer blood sugar is on the low side. In addition, she did not take good care of her health after childbirth. She
needs supplementary nutrition.â
The doctor left.
Brandon immediately instructed the servants to cook the tonic.
About half an hour later, Savanna woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw a tall and straight man standing in front of the French window. The curtains were all drawn. Brandon, who had his hands crossed, stared at the night sky outside the window. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Brandon sensed the gaze behind him and turned around. Seeing that Savanna had woken up, Brandon smiled. âHow do you feel?â
Savanna pursed her lips and nodded. Her voice was extremely hoarse. She wanted to get out of bed
but Brandon, who was walking over, stopped her. âSavanna, you are very weak. You canât do this.â
Savanna smiled bitterly. âIâm fine. Brandon, I want to stay with Mandel, okay?â
She grabbed Brandonâs sleeve and pleaded.
Brandon couldnât bear to see her begging gaze, so he could only turn his face away.
âGrandfather dotes on Mandel so much. Mandel will have a happy life here.â
Brandon meant to separate Mandel from Savanna. Savanna was furious and shouted, âBrandon, I
have nothing but Mandel. I promise you that I wonât get married. I will treat Mandel well. I will
educate him well. Can you let Mandel live with me?
Savanna never spoke in such a humble way.
For Mandel, she could give up her pride and dignity.
Mandel was her life!
Suddenly, the sound of children crying came from outside.
The sound was getting closer and closer, like ringing in her ears.
âMandel.â Savanna let go of Brandon, got up from the bed, rushed out of the door barefoot, and took Mandel from Giselle.
No one knew what was going on. Perhaps Mandel knew that it was his mother. He suddenly stopped crying. His black eyes stared at Savanna. Giselle said to her grandson, âYou stopped crying as soon as your mother held you in her arms. So you know that sheâs your mother, right? No wonder I canât stop you from crying no matter how long I tried. Good for you!â
Mandel returned to Savannaâs embrace again. Her tears fell onto Mandelâs little white face. Mandel
grinned and smiled at her. That smile was extremely cute. Savanna felt very warm.
Giselle glanced at Brandon, who was standing in the room, and then looked at Savanna and Mandel.
Giselle sighed, âSavanna, your grandfather said that he would give you two choices. First, you remarried Brandon. Second, you leave.â
Giselleâs words made Savanna stiffen.
Savanna bit her lips. Soon, she tasted the blood in her mouth. She would not choose.
âGiselle, I am Mandelâs mother. It is my right to take him away.â
As she spoke, Savanna held Mandel and was about to rush out. At the same time, several
bodyguards surrounded her.
âGet out of the way,â Savanna roared.
However, the bodyguards turned a deaf ear. They would not allow her to leave without orders.
Savanna was furious. She roared, âYou donât have the right to do this. I need a lawyer.â
Giselle looked helpless.
Giselle kindly reminded her, âSavanna, you know better than anyone else that the best lawyers in
Savanna bit her lips. Soon, she tasted the blood in her mouth. She would not choose.
âGiselle, I am Mandelâs mother. It is my right to take him away.â
As she spoke, Savanna held Mandel and was about to rush out. At the same time, several bodyguards surrounded her.
âGet out of the way,â Savanna roared.
However, the bodyguards turned a deaf ear. They would not allow her to leave without orders.
Savanna was furious. She roared, âYou donât have the right to do this. I need a lawyer.â
Giselle looked helpless.
Giselle kindly reminded her, âSavanna, you know better than anyone else that the best lawyers in New York are all in the Cassel Group.â
Savanna no longer looked at Giselle. She rushed back to her room and shouted at Brandon. She had lost all patience,
âBrandon, you donât love him. Why are you forcing him to stay with you?â
Just now, Savanna did not answer Giselleâs question. Savanna did not want to remarry Brandon. It deeply hurt Brandonâs heart Seeing that, Brandon smiled coldly.
He said coldly, âSavanna, how do you know that I do not love him?â
