Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 536 - 536: How Cruel You Are?

Dylan guessed what Charlotte was calling for. He answered the phone and sat down on the couch.

"Dylan, I hear Kaiden is fine... So when are we going to have another engagement party?" As expected, Charlotte soon broached the subject of the engagement.

Dylan rubbed along his nose, frowning with impatience. He fumed and fretted after returning from the hospital but did not know what the matter was. He didn't want to talk about the engagement at all.

"My father said Kaiden was terribly frightened that day and would not be able to go out for a few more days." He found an excuse casually.

Charlotte felt his unwillingness. Did he mean their engagement would be delayed indefinitely before that boy recovered?

But she couldn't complain about that. She brought it all on herself.

After hanging up the phone, Dylan closed his eyes, very distraught.

A moment later, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and Judy's voice,

"No, sir, you can't go in like this..."

He frowned, but just then, the door was opened. Jacob broke in.

"Again, ask me to see her?" Dylan sneered, looking at his friend.

No sooner had he said this than Jacob pulled him off the couch and gnashed his teeth. "Savannah miscarried! What exactly did you say to her tonight? How cruel you are!"

Savannah was pregnant? Judy stared at the door, covering her mouth.

An indefinable air of tension filled the room.

"Is she playing the martyr?" Dylan broke the silence with a cold laugh.

"Savannah started bleeding as soon as you left!" Jacob's face was contorted with anger. "The doctor gave her the operation just now! Dylan, you know Savannah is pregnant! Her mood can easily affect the fetus in her! It's you. You killed your own child! The baby did not die in the car accident, but died in his father's harsh words!"

The air in the room was on the point of freezing.

Dylan's face remained unchanged as he coolly pulled Jacob's hand from his collar. "This child," he said, "is an accident. Since it's an accident, it's good for her that it's gone."

"You bastard!" Jacob raised his fist to hit the man in the face!

He never thought Dylan would still be so indifferent when he knew Savannah had a miscarriage.

"How could you be so unfeeling to your own child? Since you hate Savannah so much that you never want to make up with her, why did you still make her pregnant?"

Dylan grasped his fist firmly in the middle of the air. He pushed Jacob away and said icily, "who are you to ache for that woman? The baby that just died from her belly is mine. Does it have anything to do with you, Jacob?"

Jacob stepped back, laughing angrily.

Yes, it was none of his business.

He shouldn't have come to tell him about Savannah!

This man had a heart of stone!

"Good! From now on, I won't tell you anything about Savannah! I hope you don't bother Savannah either! Please stay away from her and give her a peaceful life! I wish you and Miss Rowe a happy marriage!" Jacob shouted his words and stormed away.

Judy finally recovered herself and rushed into the room. "Mr. Sterling, I... I want to go to the hospital to see Savannah..."

"Get out," Dylan said gravely.

"But -"

"Get out!" Dylan shouted, in a sudden burst of anger, and kicked over the crystal coffee table next to him.

Judy had never seen Mr. Sterling so angry, his beautiful features distorted as if the next moment, he would destroy the world.

But he looked so calm in front of Jacob...

Judy gasped, not daring to say more, and turned to go out.

Royal Villa.

"Really? Savannah had a miscarried?"

Charlotte stared and rose from the sofa in surprise.

"Absolutely true," Katrina said with a smile. "She called Jenkins and asked for sick leave for quite a few days. I felt very strange. She just fell and was not badly hurt, why did she asked for such a long leave? I went to the hospital and inquired with a nurse about her situation. Then I know she woke up the next day evening and had a miscarriage."

That was great! Charlotte laughed out.

Savannah lost the child, so she could not threaten Dylan to cancel the engagement with her!

But then her face fell again.

"What's it? Are you still unhappy?" Katrina noticed her expression.

"Dylan hasn't decided when we will have another engagement party yet." Charlotte screwed up her eyebrows.

"His son might have got badly injured in a car accident that day. It's understandable that he doesn't have the heart for an engagement party. All right, don't think too much. When the boy's okay and Mr. Sterling's in a better mood, the engagement party will definitely be held. Dylan's wife will only be you. Don't worry." Katrina comforted her.

But Charlotte was still worrying.

She always felt that Dylan was putting off the engagement party, not just because of Kaiden.

Was he still thinking of Savannah?

This thought made her face darker.

***

Four days passed before Savannah was able to get out of bed.

In fact, she was wide awake when the anesthesia dissipated after the operation.

She knew then that the little life in her belly had gone completely away from her.

In the hospital bed, she had been lying for two days without saying a word. She didn't even eat or drink.

Jacob knew she didn't want to tell Aunt Garcia at Green Bay, so he called Olivia to accompany her, afraid she would be too upset.

Olivia was shocked to learn that Savannah was nearly hit by a car on Dylan's engagement day and had a miscarriage.

It wasn't until the fourth day that Savannah finally managed to pick herself up and get out of bed. She cleaned up herself in the bathroom and had a bite of food. Then she changed her clothes and arranged her hair.

She looked still pale, but she finally had some spirit.
