Novel Full Chapter 179 - 179: Shall I Come On That Day?
He could accept his illness, but if he was not able to have children, was he still a complete man?
Seeing Devin's pale face, Susan patted him on the back softly and said consolingly as she choked off, "Devin, the doctor said this disease could be controlled with drugs, and you will be almost the same as normal people... "
"Almost the same? I can't even get a woman pregnant! Am I still a normal man?" Devin howled bitterly, shaking Susan's hand off his shoulder.
Uncle was so ruthless!
Anger and remorse welled in him.
"What should we do?" Susan regretted, too, "You know how much your uncle cares about the company, and he has a crush on Savannah now. You should not have stolen the trade secrets and touched the bitch… Alas... Valerie was pregnant, she would give you a baby if she had not suffered from abortion…"
Gritting his teeth, Devin was even more remorseful.
So the unborn baby Valerie had lost was probably the only child he would ever have.
Without a word, Devin seized a glass from the bedside table and hit it against the TV wall!
The glass slivered in bloom with a bang!
"Calm down, baby." Susan hastily comforted her son, "what if your grandpa sees you like this? If your illness is known to outsiders or your grandpa, you will never have a chance to win the Sterling group and the fortune of the Sterling."
It was like a tranquilizer. Devin kicked the bedside table hard, regaining his breath.

After visiting Donna with Olivia, Savannah returned to Beverly Hills. As soon as she finished dinner and sat on the sofa, she got a call from Dan.
Dan said the press conference for Fairy World's launch was scheduled on the weekend night.
JK would introduce Fairy World to the media for the first time.
As the game endorser, Savannah should be present, of course.
What good news! After waiting so long, the advertisement that they paid a lot of painstaking efforts finally hit the market.
Savannah was quite happy but nervous.
She had no idea if her image could make people satisfied. If not, she might smash JK's name…
After all, it was the first time that she had attended such an endorsement alone.
She was a little unsure.
Would the reporters be disappointed to see the endorser of Fairy World was an unknown model? Would they put her down?
Savannah took a deep breath and said, "Well, please tell Brother Kevin I'll be there on time."
"Be where on time?" Before her voice had died away, Dylan asked from the porch.
Startled, Savannah said good-bye to Dan and hung up.
"It's Dan." Savannah turned and said.
"What did he call you for?" Dylan remembered that Dan was Kevin's most effective assistant.
"The advertising conference for Fairy World is going to be held this weekend. JK invited me to be there." She said cautiously, holding her breath.
This man looked deathly dark every time he saw her with Kevin. Would he stop her from participating in this advertising conference?
Anyway, she couldn't hide the face. The media would be there, and the reviews and news about the game were sure to be everywhere. She couldn't hush it up as the spokesperson.
After a time, she heard his low voice, "you are the spokeswoman of the game, and of course, you should be there."
Savannah stared at him. Dylan agreed? And it seemed that he agreed with good cheer. He must be in a good mood today!
Dylan burst out laughing when he saw her surprised look. Did she need to be so shocked?
Now that he had consented to her being the endorser for JK's game, he wouldn't stop her from attending the press conference.
He admitted that he was greedy and wanted not only her body but her heart as well.
In that case, it was not good to limit her in this house.
He would let the little woman go if she wanted to.
"Have you got everything ready?" He rolled up his shirt sleeves as he asked, sensual lips curled in amusement.
"Oh?" Savannah reacted from joy, "JK will arrange a specially customized costume for me."
"Shall I come on that day?" He asked softly.
"No!" Savannah's smile froze. After all, he still suspected her and wanted to keep an eye on her. Afraid that he would be displeased, she busily added, "It's just a game press conference. If the president of the Sterling Group appears at the conference, you will steal the show before me! At that time, the media will surround you, not me."
"I will steal the show? Are you so unsure of yourself?" Dylan glanced at the little woman.
"It's not about being confident or not. You are a bit short in business, and it's rare for you to attend JK's business event. This is the first time for me to be an independent spokesperson, and I don't want to be ignored in front of you." Savannah had learned to be clever. Instead of being tough against him, she used a more tactful way.
Since he had allowed her to take the advertisement, she was sure that he would not wish her to make a fool of herself in front of the media.
As expected, there were no more objections.
"Have you eaten your dinner?" Savannah asked, "why not try the soup I prepared today."
She sat him down at the table and brought the soup out from the kitchen. It was a soup made with chicken broth and leeks.
Dylan glanced at the soup on the table, "you experiment on me again?"
He had just finished a deal with a client and ate a few in the business dinner. But when he remembered the food she made last time, he would rather be hungry than try again.
She blushed as she remembered that meal too. "I've studied cooking these days, and I've made a lot of progress. You can try."
Because of the loss of the design drawing, he had not come for a long time. She made some dishes and asked Judy to taste. Judy, however, only spoke the praise words. She needed real comments to help her improve.
