"Savannah," he gave her a warm smile.
"Morning, Kevin," a half-smile came to Savannah's pale face.
"How're you feeling?" Kevin sat down and asked.
In her paleness, Savannah grabbed Kevin's sleeve. "Kevin, the doctor said that I'm in the hospital for an operation on severe acute suppurative appendicitis. How did I get this disease? Why am I here with you? Why don't I remember a lot of things? What the hell had happened to me..."
Her voice trembled slightly at the confusion of the unknown.
"Don't worry, Savannah. I'll tell you." Kevin looked at her and slowly told her what he made up last night.
Savannah listened quietly, afraid of making a mistake.
Kevin said that she broke away from her uncle's home when she knew Devin and Valerie had an affair. No one knew where she went, and her uncle and aunt didn't try their best to look for her.
When Kevin learned that she was missing, he went around looking for her everywhere and finally found her in a hospital. According to the nurse in that hospital, she fell in a faint on the road and was sent to the hospital by a kind man.
She couldn't remember the days she wandered far from her uncle's house, so Kevin had no idea where she had gone or what she had met. But to be sure, she must have a difficult time before she was taken down and sent to the hospital.
Then Kevin brought her here.
"Is it true?" She murmured in disbelief.
"Don't you believe me?" Kevin looked at her.
Savannah almost immediately nodded her head. "I believe you."
If she couldn't trust Kevin, who else in the world could she trust? Kevin would not lie to her. There was no reason for him to lie to her.
She didn't feel sad at all when she heard that Devin had hooked up with Valerie. Perhaps she did not love Devin at all. She had always been despised by Devin and his mother. She was with Devin only because of the engagement.
"How's Devin now? And my cousin?" Savannah asked tentatively.
"A lot of things happened after you ran away from your uncle's house. Your cousin married Devin, but she didn't live a happy life. They divorced each other for some reason. Valerie was sent to prison, and Devin went abroad. I don't know what happened. The Sterling family suppressed the news." Kevin said everything about the Sterling family. Of course, he never mentioned the name of that man.
Savannah held her breath as she listened, her heart pumping. When Kevin finished, she slowly let go of her clenched fist. So many things had happened.
But was she really a wanderer these days?
Maybe she had memory disorder after the serious disease?
She tried to compose herself and asked, "Kevin, will I be cured? Can I remember the things I forgot?"
"Sure. The doctor said that as long as you take good care of yourself, you'll gradually recover." Kevin whispered.
Savannah's face softened. She was rejuvenated by new hope.
After talking with Kevin for a while, she began to feel tired.
"Take a break. I'll see you later." Kevin said and stood up.
Savannah nodded obediently and lay back on the bed.
Kevin walked out and closed the door quietly. Then he turned and saw Robert stand not far away in the corridor. He came to see him again.
The father and the son walked slowly down the corridor, side by side, and stopped until they were far from the ward.
"Are you trying to break Miss Schultz from Dylan?" Robert asked. He had known about Savannah's memory loss and Kevin's conversation with the doctor.
Last night, Kevin asked the nurse to arrange Savannah's newborn baby to another ward far away from Savannah. What's more, the doctor had given Savannah some medicine to prevent all kinds of reactions during the lactation period, in case that Savannah would guess something.
From what Kevin had arranged, Robert knew that his son had made up his mind to give Savannah a new life.
"If I had known that she was not happy with Dylan, I would have taken her away earlier," Kevin said drily. Then he looked at Robert, "Mr. Smith, could you do me a favor?"
"What's it?" Robert raised his eyebrows.
"Please help Savannah, and I go abroad. Wherever we go, as far from the town as possible."
Without help from the Smith family, he might not be able to take Savannah away from LA. She had been missing for several days, and even if Dylan hadn't found her in Balfour Sanatorium, he would have the airports and train stations guarded. He would leave no chance for them to leave the town.
He had always kept his distance from the Smith family and refused to admit his identity as Robert's son, which was a shame to him. He didn't want to ask for help from the Smith family even when Devin sent him to prison last time. But now, for Savannah, he turned to Robert for help again and again.
He did not regret it. As long as Savannah could be happy, he would rather ignore his dignity.
"You want to take Miss Schultz abroad?" Robert's face changed.
"Yes. She has no parents, and her last relatives hurt her so many times. She'll only feel sad if she remained in LA, and sooner or later, she would meet those she hates. It's only possible for her to really forget the past and have a new life when she stays far away from here."
