Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 221 - 221: Susan Gone Mad

Although she escaped the punishment of the law, it was even more tragic for her, a wealthy woman who had always been proud and arrogant, to spend the rest of her life in an insane asylum with a group of mentally ill people.

Although this was Susan's retribution, Savannah still felt kind of sorry for her and had not spoken for a long time.

"What about your father?" She added in a moment.

Susan deserved that, but old Sterling must feel terrible at the moment.

In his lifetime, old Sterling had only three children.

His eldest son died young, which estranged Dylan from him.

Now, his daughter was certified and would be sent to a mental hospital...

Old Sterling was old, not in good health, and Savannah was really worried if he could bear the blow of Susan's illness.

Dylan mused for a few seconds and said, "Yesterday, when dad saw that Susan was mentally disturbed, he almost fainted and probably need a few days in bed."

"Don't you have a long rest this morning before you go to the company?" Savannah rolled her eyes.

Dylan guessed the little woman's intention and sniffed softly, "What do you want to do?"

"Why don't you go to the Sterling's house to see your father? He must be in great need of comfort at this time." Savannah forgot her breakfast and continued.

Dylan hesitated for a moment. Finally, without showing visible emotion, he said slowly, "there are enough people around him. He's never alone."

As expected, he refused, but he didn't take a hard, unpromising attitude as before! In the past, the man would have refused her immediately and accused her of her meddling.

It seemed that Dylan was not as indifferent to his father as she thought, and he still had concern for old Sterling.

So long as they had cared for each other, discord and estrangement would be removed.

"How could it be the same? A companion from his own son has a greater value." Savannah said quickly.

Dylan's eyelashes fluttered, and he said nothing.

Savannah thought that maybe he was embarrassed to take the initiative to visit old Sterling. After all, the father and the son had been estranged for so many years. Even if he was worried about old Sterling, he would not be able to lower himself to show his concern.

Thinking of this, Savannah added, "I want to see him, just go with me... will you?"

Dylan was silent for a long time. Finally, he looked at the plate in front of her, "your breakfast turns cold, get stuck in!"

As soon as he said this, Savannah knew he agreed.

When they arrived at the Sterling's house, there was a cloud of gloom hovering over everyone. The servants looked grave and all immersed in their own work.

What happened these days cast a blight on the family.

Well, Miss Sterling suddenly went insane. Following such an accident in the family, who dared to talk and laugh as usual?

After Dylan sent Susan to the hospital last night, Cooper warned all the servants in the house, and no one was allowed to discuss this matter, let alone told it to others. Otherwise, they should take the consequences.

Cooper was surprised to see Dylan and Savannah come. "Mr. Sterling, Miss Schultz, why are you here? Old Sterling must be very happy to see you."

"How's him?" Savannah asked anxiously.

"He's much better after a night's rest and medicine, but still weak. He sighed and groaned at the mention of Miss Sterling, and I even saw him... secretly dashed off the tears. Well, at least you come, and his mood will become better. Please come upstairs." Cooper sighed.

Savannah was about to go up with Dylan when he said behind her, "go upstairs and see old Sterling for me. I've something about Susan to discuss with Cooper."

Did he have to deal with the matter now?

Obviously, he wanted to avoid seeing old Sterling.

In fact, he came here with her, indicating that he still cared about his father.

However, the relationship between the father and the son had been in a deep freeze for so many years, and they couldn't become close immediately.

Now the situation was good enough. She shouldn't push him too hard.

Savannah nodded and went upstairs alone.

She had lived in the Sterling's house for a few days and was already familiar with it. She went straight to old Sterling's living room and knocked on the door. Hearing the old man's reply, she pushed the door and went in.

A smell of medicine lingered in the modest luxury bedroom.

Old Sterling was sitting up in bed, with pillows behind him, and his face was heavy and gray.

Savannah tried to make him feel better by forcing a smile. "I've come to see you, sir," she said.

"Savannah, you're here." When old Sterling saw her, an expression of joy illuminated his eyes. After all, old people who were in a bad mood and in bad health languished for love and company. He stretched his neck and looked behind her.

Savannah knew who he was looking for, biting her lip, and said hesitatingly, "Sir, Mr. Sterling's here too, but he has something to discuss with Cooper at the moment and will come to see you later."

Old Sterling looked a little disappointed. He nodded and tried to cheer up. "Savannah, come and sit down," he said.

Savannah meekly sat at the edge of the bed beside old Sterling. She asked about his health and advised him not to think too much.

"I know, Susan's done all kinds of evil and deserves it," he sighed and said, "but she's my daughter, after all, I really cannot accept the fact that she's mad."

Savannah understood how he felt. Susan's illness seemed too abrupt.

Even she was still shocked.

How could a normal person become insane so unexpectedly!

She was about to comfort him again when there was a knock at the door. Old Sterling held back his sorrow and said, "come in."

The door opened. Cooper stood in the doorway and said respectfully, "Sir, Dr. Joe comes."

When Savannah lived in the Sterling's house, she learned that Dr. Joe was the private doctor of the Sterling family and had worked for the Sterling for many years.

Probably, Dr. Joe came to see if old Sterling needed his help.

"Let Dr. Joe in." Old Sterling replied.

A middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s, looking professional and calm, came in and said respectfully, "Sir."
