Chapter 410 - 410: You Gave Me A Chance
Dylan's fists were clenched so tightly that their nails dug deep into their palms.
"Before she slipped into a coma, she asked me not to say anything to you. I don't know if she was too angry at you or didn't want you to worry about her. Anyway, I would never refuse her request. So I didn't inform you." Kevin looked at Dylan in a provocative way.
Then he continued.
"She didn't want to see you, so I took her and the baby to the Balfour Sanatorium. I was wondering if she could live a better and happier life without you. Since you didn't cherish her, someone else was willing to take care of her in place of you. Later, when she woke up, she was diagnosed to have selective amnesia. She lost some of her memories, she forgot you and your baby. I thought it was a good opportunity to give her a new life. So I took her abroad."
"How did she lose her memory?" Dylan asked through his gritted teeth. Although he knew Kevin wasn't lying, he still couldn't believe it.
"I was no less surprised and incredulous than you are. However, the doctor said it was not the first time that Savannah had a memory loss. She's supposed to have suffered from it due to serious meningitis when she was young, and she wasn't completely recovered. Because of the major hemorrhage during Cesarean Section, she lost part of her memory again."
Dylan looked pale. He gradually calmed down, and his heart sank.
She lost part of her memory, but she still remembered Kevin and even Devin. So, all she forgot were the days they stayed together?
Why? Was it because she hated him for hurting her too deeply?
Kevin stared at Dylan with a complicated look as he continued, "I took her to Italy because I want her to have a new life without pain. However, I didn't expect that she would have gotten involved with you again so soon when we came back. She left the child to you, so why don't you leave her the freedom to live a new life?"
Dylan's fist shot out and caught directly in Kevin's mouth.
"You're so selfish! You just took advantage of her memory loss and took her away for your own will! Did you fucking ask her if she was willing to go abroad, to part with her family?"
Kevin took a few steps back and hit the wall.
Dan exclaimed and rushed up to support Kevin, but Kevin straightened himself and sleeved the blood from his face, sneered and looked at Dylan again.
"You gave me a chance. Who left Savannah alone before the wedding day? Who accompanied another woman late at night when Savannah suffered a threatened miscarriage? Who made Savannah so sad and caused her massive hemorrhage? You even deliberately made use of my client to send me abroad so that I could leave Savannah! Selfish? No one is more selfish than you!"
Dylan's face darkened! He raised his fist, and they were again at each other's throats.
Garwood and Dan immediately came forward to stop them. If they continued fighting like this, they would have to lie in the hospital together with Savannah!
"Come on, this is the hospital. Miss Schultz's still lying there. Are you two gentlemen trying to wake her up?" Garwood said as he pulled Dylan to one side.
Kevin and Dylan glared at each other with rage. Then they snorted as each of them sat down on a bench far from each other, panting.
Garwood asked a nurse for two clean towels and gave them to each.
"Anyway, now that you know all you want to know. Savannah didn't recognize you or the kid because of memory loss. She can't remember you even if you kill her. I beg you, if you still have a trace of compassion for her, please don't bother her again. You only make her suffer by pressing questions and pestering her."
The atmosphere became rigid. No one uttered a word.
Dylan was silent. His sorrow, grief, indignation, and confusion were imaged in his face.
This was the second time Garwood saw this expression on Mr. Sterling's face.
The first time was the night when Mr. Sterling knew Savannah left their baby for him and went abroad with Kevin three years ago.
He didn't expect that when Savannah showed in front of them again, she lost all her memory about them.
Finally, Dylan got up slowly and walked toward the ward.
Kevin looked alarmed and sprang to his feet.
"What fucking do you want? Why don't you listen to me? Frankly speaking, she's a patient now! Do you understand? She doesn't remember you, she'll be very pained when you mention your past to her! Please don't see her again, and leave her alone!"
Garwood gasped. Just when he thought Kevin would get punched again, Dylan didn't mean to fight but said quietly, "I'll just have a look."
With that, he pushed open the door and walked in.
Kevin glared. He had never seen Dylan so softened, like a thoughtless child who made a big mistake and didn't know how to correct it.
Inside the ward, Dylan stood by the bed, watching Savannah quietly.
Her face, though still a little pale, looked very calm. Her fever was allayed, and her breathing was regular. Her beautiful eyes now closed under her long black lashes. Her lips were still colorless.
She looked exactly the same as she was three years ago, as if she could wake up the next minute, and smiled at him.
The last three years without her had been like a bad dream.
She not only left him but also forgot him...
He always thought she was acting, pretending not to know him. But now it turned out to be a big mistake.
He had done so many stupid things to her and kept forcing her to admit their relationship.
She must have been scared to death when a "stranger" did something like that to her. He was sure she even wanted to kill him after last night. No wonder she went to the police.
But up to yesterday, he thought she was acting.
He should have known he was wrong. The little woman was still with him when he bought Zagreb Film three years ago, and she knew it was a unit of the Sterling group. In order to avoid meeting him, she would not have accepted its offer.
He thought she just forgot about it, but in fact, she forgot everything about him.
Her unconscious mind chose to forget him in order to protect herself.
It was the worst punishment for him.
Dylan leaned over and put his hand out, but before he touched her head, he hesitated, afraid of waking her up.
