Seeing Robert, the lady sneered just as if she had succeeded in catching him in adultery. She folded her arms and said sarcastically, "oh, you are here."
Robert didn't expect his wife to co. It seed that she had known all about his looking for his son, and she even knew he had taken Kevin here.
"Madison? What are you coming for?" Robert frowned in embarrassnt and motioned his confidant and the guards behind his wife to leave first.
When there were only two of them in the hall, Madison no longer attempted to conceal her smoldering anger.
"Why can't I co? Are you afraid that I'll disturb the reunion between you and your bastard son? Robert, I just knew that you'd been looking for the child of that bitch for all these years! And now, you t him privately and even took him to Balfour Sanatorium! Do you still regard as your legal wife?" She shouted, purple with rage.
"Enough! Go back first, and we'll talk about it later." Robert grabbed his wife's arm and tried to pull her out.
Madison threw off his hand in anger. "No! Unless you get rid of that bastard! Promise you'll never see that bastard again! "
Robert was furious when he heard the word bastard co from her again and again. He blurted out, "he's my son! Why should I get rid of him?"
"What do you an?" She roared at him, and her delicate face contorted with rage. "You want to bring this bastard back to the Smith family? Where do I stand? Have you ever thought about the feeling of our daughter?"
"I'll arrange it." Robert declared.
Madison glared at him. "Robert, if it were not for my family's support, you would not have been elected governor of California four years ago. The new election will co soon. Do you still want to serve another term?"
Robert's face darkened as his wife threatened him.
"Send that bastard away and never et him again! Otherwise, believe it or not, I'll imdiately expose your adultery within the marriage to the press. Everyone will know about your affair with your servant's daughter, and you will be spat at and reviled by the people who have once supported you!" snapped Madison, in a sort of shriek.
How could a proud man stand being put down by his wife in public? Robert's face was flushed with anger under the fire of his wife, and finally, he bellowed, "whatever!"
"Robert! You'll see! My father won't spare you!" Madison shouted and stomped out of the hall.
Robert's confidant ca over hurriedly when Madison left. "Sir, Mrs. Smith looks irritated. Would she really complain to Mr. Jones?"
Madison was from the Jones family, which was powerful in politics. If Robert had to go against them, his political career must be affected.
Robert also knew that he should not have made the relationship with his wife so difficult. In fact, he could comfort her with kind words. But he would lose face if he ran to coax her back at once.
"I don't care! I'll see if the Jones family can defeat !" He snorted.
In the doorway outside the hall, Kevin overheard them quarreling. His lips curled with cold amusent.
Mrs. Smith didn't have to worry too much. He never thought of being the young master of the Smith family.
Had it not been for Savannah, he would never have co into contact with his biological father.
Just then, urgent footsteps behind him interrupted his thought. A young nurse seed to be looking for soone. Her eyes brightened at the sight of Kevin.
"Mr. Wills, Miss Schultz woke up!"
"Really?" Kevin's heart jumped for joy. He put aside his gloomy mood, and hurriedly followed the nurse to Savannah's ward.
He pushed the door open and strode in.
Savannah, pale but clearly wide awake, was staring out the window.
Kevin walked to her bedside and said softly, "Savannah, it's great that you're awake. Do you feel alright? You still look pale."
The little woman on the bed woke up with a start. She turned around and stared at Kevin. "Brother Kevin? You're really, Kevin?"
Kevin froze. He wondered if she was not entirely clear headed after a long sleep. "Yeah, I'm your Kevin brother." He put his hand on her shoulder and tried to soothe her.
Then Kevin was even more surprised at Savannah's response.
"What am I doing here? Where are we? The hospital? Why does my tummy ache so much? And the wound… Have I just had an operation? What happened? And... I haven't seen you since I left the orphanage. Why are you... with ?" Her voice thrilled.
Her words took Kevin's breath away. What did she an?
Didn't she rember that she had had a c-section?
It seed that she didn't even rember they had t in the orphanage again. There was a big hole in her head.
What happened? What's going on? The terrible fear seized upon Kevin. But he had to restrain his emotions when Savannah looked more frightened than him. He gently touched her hair and asked, "Savannah, we're in the hospital now, don't you rember why you ca in?"
Savannah looked down, half frightened and half shy as if Kevin was a stranger to her. "I... I woke up and found myself lying here... What happened to ? I... I can't really rember. I have a headache..."
A strange fear was beginning to throb in Savannah's heart. She put her head in her hands and groaned slightly in pain.
What's wrong with her? Why was her mind a complete blank? She seed to have forgotten many things.
"Savannah, I'm here. I'm your Kevin brother. Don't be afraid." Kevin whispered as he took Savannah's hand away from her head, holding her hand in his.
He was still in a trance.
Savannah had lost so mory, including Dylan and the new baby.
"Kevin... What happened to ?" Savannah murmured with a start of terror.
"It's okay, Savannah." Kevin forced a smile, "you'll be fine. Have a rest, and I'll call the doctor to see you."
