Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 618 - 618: Give It To Him Now

Perhaps because Savannah was too tired after taking care of him all day, her eyes started to glaze over, and she fell asleep soon.

Dylan heard her breathing steadily, knowing that she was asleep. Afraid that she would catch a cold when she woke up, and to make her comfortable, he sat up quietly and gently took off her outerwear.

Her forearms were exposed, and there were bruises on her white skin.

It looked like someone pinched it.

Dylan paused. It was he who did it.

He accidentally bruised her while he was briefly unconscious during the attack.

He was too careless, or he just couldn't control himself, but his unconscious movement could easily give her a terrible mark on her delicate white skin.

Before, he was the first one who wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her.

Not to mention to pinch her, he would not even allow anyone to hurt a hair from her head.

But it was he who left the bruises on her body.

She never mentioned it to him.

His illness not only implicated her but also unconsciously hurt her.

In the following days, as long as she continued to take care of him at his side, she would probably continue to get hurt.

Dylan's eyes clouded. His mood that had brightened a bit today darkened again.

After a long pause, he tucked her in and then quietly put on the uncomfortable strait-jacket again. After that, he got out of bed and walked slowly to the door.

***

When Savannah woke up, it was nearly morning.

She rubbed her eyes, looking around, but no one was about. At once, she was wide awake and jumped out of bed.

"Dylan?" She pulled open the door and cried with an anxious look.

"Don't worry, Miss Schultz, Mr. Sterling is in the next room." Garwood, who was just at the door of the next ward, heard her cry and came over immediately.

Savannah let out a sigh of relief. She was too nervous about him and thought that something had happened to him again.

She went to the next room and knocked on the door. There was no response.

Maybe he was still asleep. She thought as she opened the door and pushed in.

As soon as she entered the room, she was shocked.

Dylan was sleeping in a strait-jacket, and his hands and feet were tied to the bedpost with ropes, so there was no room to move!

One could imagine how uncomfortable to sleep in this position!

Even serious criminals would not be treated like this!

She gritted her teeth with repressed anger, closed the door gently, and walked to Garwood, staring at him and the bodyguards in the corridor.

"Who put the strait-jacket back on him and bound him?" She asked in a low voice with red eyes.

Garwood and his bodyguards hung their heads in silence.

"Is that what the hospital asked for? Why don't they tell us in advance before they treat patients in this way? That's too much! I'll go and ask Jacob!" Savannah, red with anger, started walking towards the doctor's office.

Even Susan in the nursing house had not been treated like this!

Garwood stopped her in a hurry, and after a short hesitation, he gnashed his teeth and said, "Miss Schultz, it was Mr. Sterling who asked for it!"

"He asked for it?" Savannah paused.

"Yes..." Garwood nodded with difficulty. "And Mr. Sterling demanded us to bound him to bed like this every night when you stayed here."

"Why?" Savannah froze.

"Mr. Sterling feared that he might hurt you again..." Garwood sighed.

Savannah remembered that her coat had been taken off when she woke up... Did he see the bruises on her arm?

She had tried to hide it for fear that he would see it and blame himself, but he still noticed it.

In fact, she wanted to tell him that it was really nothing and it didn't hurt...

She turned and took a glance at the outline of his sleeping figure on the bed through the half-open door, unable to speak.

For fear of hurting her unintentionally, he would rather close himself up and live in pain.

"Miss Schultz, it was Mr. Sterling's decision. ... It's all right. He won't suffer anymore when he's cured..." Garwood's voice trailed to a whisper.

His words sounded so unconvincing. They all knew that Mr. Sterling's illness was very difficult to treat, otherwise, his mother, his brother, and his sister would not have ended like that.

Savannah's voice caught in her throat. Looking outside the window, she saw the sun rising slowly in the east.

The rays of the sun poured in from the windows, illuminating every corner of the corridor.

There was a flash of hope rising in her heart.

His illness was like the night, which was long but would gradually recede.

She could not assume an expression of consternation or despair. It would only blow his spirits and worsen his illness.

Thinking of this, Savannah braced herself and forced a smile. She first went to the washroom to freshen up, and then she met the care worker and prepared some nutritious food as breakfast for him as usual.

The Sterling family would send a lot of food materials to the hospital every day for the care worker to make nutritious meals for Dylan.

However, Dylan didn't have an appetite every day and became thinner and thinner.

Savannah returned to the ward with breakfast. She was about to ask Garwood to see if Dylan was awake when a nurse came.

"Miss Schultz, Dr. Shamon wanted to see you in his office."

***

Savannah sat opposite Jacob. She thought that he was just telling her about Dylan's recent condition. However, Jacob looked more serious than usual.

"Jacob, is Dylan's condition getting worse?" She could not help but feel a little nervous.

In front of Dylan, she could pretend to be relaxed and calm, but in front of the doctor, she would be frightened by a slight change in his expression.

"Take it easy," Jacob said quietly, "Dylan's okay, and there's no trend of deterioration. In fact, I called you here because there's good news for him. Last night, I had a video consultation with several famous brains and psychiatric experts in the medical field. There is a new drug made in recent years, which is specifically aimed at the treatment of this inherited mental disease. There're similar patients who have taken it, and the result is not bad."

"What are you waiting for? Give it to him now!" Savannah felt an extreme joy coming to her chest, her heart beating fast.

Jacob paused and said, "But this new drug is not yet ready, and it has a very serious side effect."
