Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 533 - 533: The Truth Behind The Fire Many Years Ago

After a moment's hesitation, Dylan retorted coolly, "since she's still in a coma, it's useless to see her now. It's the hospital's responsibility to take care of her."

Jacob felt his temperature rising when Dylan headed for the emergency room again.

"She is pregnant!" He clenched his fist angrily and blurted out, "would that make you feel a little pity for her and go to see her?"

The man stopped short.

"You mean… Miss Schultz is pregnant?" Garwood stared at Jacob in surprise.

Jacob glowered at Dylan's back. "Yes, we just checked it out. More than a month! Fortunately, Savannah's injuries on the head are external, and the baby in her is safe. For the sake of the baby, shouldn't you go and see her?"

One month pregnant.

That night in the car...

There seemed to be a fire in Dylan's eyes, but it cooled the next moment.

"Don't tell anyone she's pregnant." With that, he walked into the emergency room.

Jacob's face took on a ghastly expression.

Don't tell anyone?

Yes. Dylan was about to get engaged with Miss Rowe, and his image would be ruined if Savannah's pregnancy would be known by the public!

Jacob was speechless with anger.

Royal Villa.

Charlotte sat on the couch, her face livid with anger.

The floor was covered with broken cups and vases.

All maids and servants in the villa held their breath and dared not speak.

The engagement was suspended because the young master of the Sterling family was sent to the hospital. Charlotte lost her temper after she was driven back.

She was understandably annoyed.

On the couch, Charlotte dashed another glass off the table.

How did things ever go so far?

She had planned to abort the kid in Savannah's belly by creating a car accident but did not expect that the boy would appear at that time and was almost hit.

That boy was the apple of old Sterling's eye. How could the engagement party go on when something went wrong with him?

The engagement party was put off, and she couldn't say anything!

Hearing that Kaiden was discharged from the hospital the same day, she was relieved that nothing serious happened.

The little guy was fine, so her engagement to Dylan could move on.

However, when she called Sterling's house and mentioned the engagement, old Sterling was quite displeased. He seemed to complain that she was not sensible and should not be so impatient. After all, his grandson had just had such an accident, and he was terribly scared.

Charlotte knew that old Sterling was never happy with her engagement to Dylan.

When Dylan told his father he was getting engaged, no one in the Sterling family seemed to be happy.

Kaiden made a big noise.

Old Sterling didn't say anything, but he didn't smile either.

She didn't know how long the engagement party would detain!

The driver was to blame! Too stupid!

How did they knock down a boy when they were told to hit a young woman?

She would thank god if Savannah suffered a miscarriage after the crash, but she wasn't badly hurt. It was said that she woke up last night, and the baby in her was all right.

Charlotte stomped her foot on the ground, nearly making a hole.

A thick grey mist was all around Savannah.

She kept walking in the fog but could not get out.

It was like a misty forest that had no bounds.

She didn't know if it was day or night.

At last, she crouched down, clasped her knees, and cried like a little girl.

"Don't cry, Savannah."A familiar man's voice came, freeing her from gloom and frost.

Savannah looked up and saw her father standing not far away. His smile was as warm as sunshine on a cold winter day.

"Dad!" She cried in surprise.

"Savannah, my dear daughter. Don't be pessimistic and discouraged when you meet with difficulties. It will be over." He said softly.

She sobbed, reaching over to hug her father, but somehow, she could not touch him.

"Savannah, be brave. Dad cannot accompany you in the coming days, but my love, you must go on. You deserve to be happy, and you will be happy," her father said gently.

"I know, dad," she said, blinking away her tears. "No matter what difficulties I may have, I will face it and never give up easily!"

Her father nodded in relief, but slowly, his figure melted into the thick fog.

"Dad!" Savannah cried on the ground, tears falling down.

After a while, she rubbed her eyes and got up.

She promised her father that she would not give up easily, so she must find a way out.

She went on and did not know how long she walked. Finally, the scene before her changed!

It was night.

But under the night, there were red flames jumping!

Fire! There was a fire!

Surrounded by fire, it seemed to be a pavilion in a back garden.

In the pavilion, a delicate girl was dragging a boy on the ground slowly, braving the fire.

The girl was only in her early ten's, and the boy she was dragging was a boy several years older. He seemed to be in a coma now, so the girl dragged him with great difficulty. Her face was damp, and her body was already wet with sweat.

The fire grew heavier, and the smoke thicker.

Even so, the girl did not give up. She pulled the boy with a desperate shuffle. She even took off her coat and covered it over the boy halfway, afraid that he might be hurt by the flame.

Finally, the boy was dragged to a safe place.

"Young master is in the garden! At the pavilion! Hurry up!" She heard the voices and footsteps coming.

Seeing that the boy was out of danger and his family were coming, the girl hurriedly took off the coat and put it on again.

The boy seemed to know that his savior was about to leave. He raised his hand weakly to grasp the girl's trousers.

The girl crouched down and whispered in his ear, "your family is coming, rest assured, you will be all right."

The boy's fingers loosened, and before the servants arrived, the girl hurried away.

Savannah was just like a spectator, watching silently from beginning to end. She covered her mouth, some clear memories coming back to her mind little by little.
