Maybe because Savannah had used up her strength, or the medicines she had in the hospital began to take effect, she swayed and passed out in Olivia's arms as she just turned.
"Savannah!" Olivia screamed, frightened, trying to pick her up. But they were all girls, and she couldn't lift her up with all her strength. She clenched her teeth and looked at Dylan for help.
Garwood hadn't the heart to see the two girls so helpless. He stepped forward and was about to help Miss Schultz up when Dylan shouted at him, "It's none of your business!"
"Yeah, Dylan said he had nothing to do with her, Garwood. What the hell do you care? Just another trick of her, don't you understand?" Charlotte said in a strange voice.
Garwood had to step back.
Just then, the elevator opened, and Jacob rushed out.
After Savannah ran out of the hospital, Jacob was still worried about her, so he drove his car and followed her here.
He was shocked to see Savannah faint in Olivia's arms. Without greeting Dylan, he rushed over to test her heartbeat and then picked her up.
"Look at her, Dylan. It's only been a few days, and she's hooked up with another guy who's busy around doing everything for her," said Charlotte sarcastically, with a significant shrug of the shoulders.
Dylan watched Jacob leave with Savannah in his arms, his deep eyes turning darker.
Without another word, he turned and walked back to the office.
Charlotte caught up with him as he approached the office and ventured, "Dylan, so... next month's engagement party... Is it still on schedule?"
To be engaged to Dylan was beyond her wildest dreams.
After giving him the recording of Savannah's words that day, she booked a flight back to Chicago.
To her surprise, Dylan called her the following day and met with her and offered engagement to her.
She was frozen, feeling like she was in a dream, unable to believe it. She didn't come to her senses until Dylan asked her if she agreed, and she nodded hard.
She knew that it was the recording that worked. Dylan knew Savannah had been cheating on him. He was so proud that he must be furious at her.
She also guessed that Dylan made this decision in a fit of rage, or he just wanted to anger Savannah, but she was satisfied!
As long as she could be with Dylan, she didn't care if he was serious or not.
She was also confident that if she could make him forget Savannah and win his love sooner or later after marrying him.
The engagement was scheduled very quickly.
Dylan sent his people to book the hotel, the costumes, and then he informed Ethan in Chicago.
The Rowe family was now facing a lot of troubles, and the marriage with the Sterling family was a flicker of hope to revive the Rowe group.
Ethan was surprised to hear that Dylan was getting engaged with his daughter, but he didn't make any comment.
These were the happiest days of Charlotte's life.
She was looking forward to the arrival of the engagement party.
Today she came to the Sterling group to discuss the details of the engagement with Dylan, but she didn't expect to see Savannah's best friend come to complain to Dylan!
She hoped Dylan didn't change his mind after what happened just now.
"As scheduled," answered Dylan dryly, without stopping.
Fully relieved, Charlotte smiled with satisfaction.

After being taken back to the hospital by Jacob and Olivia, Savannah was in a coma for a whole day before she was conscious again.
Olivia and Jacob took turns caring for her.
Several times, Savannah's heart gave a nervous thud against her c.h.e.s.t when she heard the door open. She knew she expected to see Dylan, but he never showed.

The Sterling Group.
"Mr. Sterling, Dr. Shamon, is here." The secretary knocked on the door of the CEO's office.
"Let him in."
Seconds later, Jacob, led by the secretary, walked into the office.
"Dylan, what did you call me for today?"
"You're here." Dylan greeted him coolly, "here are the best man's suits for my engagement party. Choose one."
"Are you really engaged to Charlotte?" Jacob couldn't believe his ears.
"Well, that's true."
"Dylan, what the hell happened between you and Savannah?" Jacob looked at him, perplexed.
"I didn't know you've become a gossiper," Dylan snorted.
Jacob knew Dylan wouldn't say more if he didn't want to tell him, so he didn't ask more. "Well, I don't care what happened between you and Savannah. She was beaten up and bruised and is still in the hospital, don't you go to see her?"
"You seem more nervous about her than I am. If you like her, I don't mind giving her to you, as long as you don't mind if she had been sleeping with me," said Dylan grimly, unconcerned.
Jacob sprang to his feet and raised his fist to punch the man in front of him, but was grabbed by his wrist in mid-air.
"What? Do you want a fight? Unhappy for what I said? It seems that Savannah's really good at seducing men. Dr. Shamon's quite carried away by her so soon!" Dylan said with acid sarcasm.
"All right. I'm tired of arguing. Perhaps it's good for Savannah to leave you, lest you should put her in shame! The best man's suit? Please find someone else! I hope you won't regret hurting Savannah badly," Jacob stormed out of the office!

A few days later, Savannah left the hospital when she got much better.
In order not to make Garcia worry about her, she said she went on a business trip.
Jacob finished the discharge formalities for her and went into the ward.
Savannah was sitting quietly by her hospital bed, waiting for Olivia to pick her up. Seeing him come in, she stood up, the words of gratitude stuck in her throat.
"Jacob, sorry for troubling you these days," she whispered, giving him a grateful smile.
"Dylan's my best bud. I should take care of you for him." Jacob shook his head.
The smile froze on Savannah's face.
Now she had nothing to do with Dylan. So, she was no longer his best friend's woman...
Jacob paused, realizing that he was blundering. Then he added, "actually, Dylan called me yesterday, and I asked him to come and see you. But he didn't listen to me..."
He still refused to see her. The smile on Savannah's lips became even bitter. She looked up at Jacob and asked casually, "he didn't call you to blame you for helping me, did he?"
"No, we just talked…" Jacob stammered.
