After a pause, Dylan continued.
"You will be happier than you're with me. He can give you whatever I can give you. He has a healthy body, and he can accompany you to go everywhere. You don't have to worry about anything at his side, and your mother will also be relieved."
Savannah snorted and put her arms around Dylan's neck.
"But I have no interest in marrying into the governor's family. I prefer to be the daughter-in-law of the Sterling family. If you feel you owe me anything, get well soon, and then you can go with Kaiden and me everywhere."
Dylan tried hard to hold his eyes flashing with the tears. He held her tightly in his arms and said no more.
She felt the effort of his embrace and raised her hand, trying to loosen the strait-jacket on him, but he caught her wrist and shook his head, "No."
Savannah knew he was afraid of hurting her.
It was very uncomfortable in the strait-jacket. He didn't have to wear it when he was calm and alone in the ward. But now she was here, and he was afraid that he might hurt her when he had a seizure, so he insisted on wearing it.
She wanted to say that it was all right, but under his determined eyes, she had to let him have this way.
After a short while, the door was knocked and quickly came the sound of the little boy's voice, "Daddy!"
Savannah stood up with a smile and opened the door. After Dylan's condition stabilized a lot, she asked Louis to send Kaiden to see Dylan today, which would also help his condition.
Kaiden hadn't seen Dylan for a long time. He just heard from his grandfather that his daddy was not feeling well recently.
Savannah picked up Kaiden, walking over to Dylan.
"Kaiden," she whispered, "tell dad to come on and listen to the doctor so he can recover soon."
In Kaiden's mind, his dad was always a tough and unbeatable superman, and this would not be a big deal.
He made a cheering gesture, saying in a clear voice, "Daddy, come on! Eat more, and have a good rest. As long as you take medicine on time and follow the doctor's advice, you will be better soon!"
Dylan slid his hand down to take Savannah's hand and nodded gravely as if to answer his son and promise Savannah.
"Yes. I'll be fine for you."
With Kaiden in his company, Savannah felt Dylan was in a much better mood.
Two hours later, Louis came to take Kaiden away.
Kaiden wanted to spend more time with his daddy, but he knew his daddy was sick and couldn't be tired.
"Daddy, I'll see you in a few days." He waved his little fat hand to him before he left.
As soon as Kaiden left, the ward became quiet again. Seeing that Dylan looked a little depressed, Savannah raised her hand to unfasten his strait-jacket and said softly, "Come on, let's go out for a walk today!"
Dylan looked at her with surprise. He hadn't been out since he was admitted to the hospital.
The caring worker occasionally suggested pushing him out to the lawn to get some sun, but he refused.
Subconsciously, he felt as if he had been isolated from the normal world by the mental illness.
He didn't dare to go out for fear that others would see that he was different.
"I don't want to go out," he said, turning his head.
Savannah knew what he was worried about. She leaned over and coaxed him softly, "Rest assured, Jacob said you could get out when you are stable."
Jacob said that exposing himself to the outside world and the sun would help to improve his condition.
But Dylan was still reluctant.
"Go out with me, okay? I want to do some shopping!" Savannah shook his arm gently and acted like a spoiled girl.
Dylan looked at her little face and nodded with resignation.
After Garwood got his car ready, Dylan changed his clothes and left the hospital with her. Savannah asked Garwood to drive to a nearby park, intending to accompany him to spend some time in the park.
It was a lovely sunny day. As soon as they entered the park, they heard various birds calling to one another and saw some children playing happily in verdant parks.
Savannah watched Dylan secretly and felt that he was in a good mood. She breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed to be better to take him out more often than to keep him away from the crowd.
She was sure that if he went on like this, he would recover at last.
After walking for a while along a path in the park, Savannah felt a little thirsty.
"I'll go and buy some drinks. Sit here and wait for me, okay?" She said as she sat him down on a bench.
Dylan looked at the little woman in front of him. Once he had always protected her, and she had always lived under his wing. But now she had to take more care of him.
The feeling inside him was too hard to tell.
"I'll call Garwood to buy for us," he caught her hand.
He didn't want to make her too tired, and he didn't want her to take a step away from him.
He wondered when he had become so attached to her.
"Don't bother. The park kiosk is over there. It's near." She patted his hand, a smile hovering about her lips.
Her sweet smile calmed his restlessness, and finally, he nodded.
After she walked away, he closed his eyes in the warm sunshine, waiting for her to come back.
Just then, a child's cry came from a distance.
Two boys stood under a tree with a balloon stuck in the branch.
They couldn't get the balloon, so they whirled around the tree, and one of them was crying.
The other boy, who was two years older, looked around and ran up to Dylan, who was the tallest in his sight.
"Uncle, my brother's balloon is stuck in a tree. Can you help us get it down?"
Perhaps because the boy was about the same age as Kaiden, Dylan got up after a short hesitation.
The younger boy let out a sigh of relief when he saw an uncle coming to help.
Dylan raised his hand, trying to hold the long string under the balloon, but he felt a blank in front of his eyes, and his fingers missed the string.
He tried again and missed it again.
And, obviously, that string of the balloon was exactly in front of his eyes.
It wasn't that he couldn't reach it, it was that he couldn't determine the position of the string.
In short, he seemed to have temporarily lost his sense of place.
