MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Savannah came back to the hospital with a heavy heart. The officer was gone, and Dan was in the ward with Kevin.

Kevin tried to get up when he saw her, but he failed.

"Don't move, Kevin," Savannah rushed over to stop him, "You must have a good rest now."

"Savannah. You went to Dylan?" Kevin looked at her.

"Well… yes," Savannah nodded, a little upset. Kevin suffered this all because of her.

Kevin looked at Dan accusingly, knowing that he had told her.

"Don't blame Dan," Savannah bit her lip, "in fact, I guessed something even if you didn't tell me... I just…I didn't expect he would do that."

"Savannah, I don't want to mention it again. Don't take it to heart," Kevin sighed.

"No! This's a serious matter! He... he almost killed you. He must take the blame!" cried Savannah, squeezing her hand.

"I didn't mention to the officer that he had been in the garage. The police will treat this accident as an accident only," Kevin said calmly.

"Why?" Savannah was surprised, "Are you really going to leave it at that? Are you afraid the police can't do anything to him?"

"For you," Kevin gave her a deep look.

Savannah gawked at him.

"I'm not afraid of him. I just don't want to make it difficult for you. If he did something in my car, he just wanted to leave you. I don't want you to feel indebted to me. Come on, Savannah. Now that it's over, I'll be all right. Forget it." Kevin looked at her gently.

Half-moved and half-guilty, Savannah took his hand and nodded gently. "Okay, I won't mention it again."

Kevin was so kind... By contrast, that man's behavior was monstrous.

Savannah asked for leave and didn't go to the company after Kevin's accident. She went back and forth to the hospital and home every day. She spent most of the time in the hospital to take care of Kevin and the rest of the time cooking at home.

At noon this day, she came to the hospital as usual with a thermal lunch box. The beef bone soup in it had been simmering for eight hours.

"Get up for your soup." Savannah adjusted the height of the bed, sat Kevin up, and handed him a bowl of soup.

A warm feeling came to Kevin as he watched Savannah moving busily about, like a little housewife.

He had been longing for a normal family since he was a child. When he met her, he knew she was exactly the other part of his ideal family.

"Why are you looking at me?" Savannah said sheepishly.

"Um… the little girl's really grown up, and now she knows how to take care of others." Kevin's mouth curled into a smile.

"Well, you used to take care of me. Now it's my turn to take care of you." Savannah tilted her head.

"I'm afraid I'll gain a lot of weight when I leave the hospital." Kevin looked at the bowl in his hand.

"You're too thin. You can eat more and gain weight." Savannah laughed.

"Hmm, good," Kevin took a mouthful of the soup and nodded approvingly.

A familiar scene flashed in front of Savannah's eyes, and she was a little distracted.

It seemed that she had cooked for someone before, and he had commented on her cooking…

It was… that man?

She pulled back her thoughts and shook her head.

What was she thinking? That man almost killed Kevin in order to achieve his aim. How could she still think of him?

Just then, Kevin finished the soup and put the bowl down. He wiped his mouth with a paper towel and then looked at her.

"Savannah." He took a breath.

"Huh?" Savannah sat up straight subconsciously when he saw the serious-looking on Kevin's face.

"I know this isn't a good time to bring it up, but I don't want to put it off any longer."

Savannah's heart was pounding so fast as Kevin's gentle voice continued.

"Savannah, every day, I look at you and feel love and inspiration. Would you like to spend the rest of your life together with me?"

"Kevin..."

"Be my girlfriend."

Her cheek burned, and her heart beat excitedly in her breast.

"But I... I'm still that man's wife in the name..." She lowered her head at his fervent eyes.

"I don't care. You can go through the formalities with him slowly. I'm in no hurry," Kevin said firmly.

She looked up at Kevin. The man in front of her had been taking care of her at her side for three years.

No, more than three years. He had been with her through the darkest and most difficult times of her life since she was sent to the orphanage.

What reason could she have for rejecting a man who had always put her first?

Only with him could she be happy.

What's more, having a new relationship would also help her get rid of that man more quickly, and she wouldn't be thinking too much about the past with that man. Savannah felt a little guilty at this thought, but she knew that was the best choice.

"I do." She said, with determination

A trace of joy ran from Kevin's lips to the whole face. Whether she was sincere or just pitiful for him at the moment, he was satisfied.

Even if his hand and foot were broken, everything was worth it.

He could not help holding her hand, leaning towards the girl he had loved for many years, and kissed her on her forehead.

Savannah pulled out her hand unconsciously and stood up in a panic.

"Kevin, you're not fully recovered..."

Kevin gave a self-deprecating smile, "sorry Savannah, I... I'm too impatient."

"Nothing." Savannah, a little embarrassed, grabbed an apple, "I'll peel an apple for you."

With that, she hurriedly walked out of the ward.

* * *

Kevin left the hospital when he was much better.

His broken hand and foot were going to take a long time to return to normal, and Kevin insisted on going back. Savannah and Dan handled the discharge formalities for him and sent him back to the rented house where he lived. Then Dan hired a nanny who was responsible for Kevin's daily life.

Savannah visited him every day and occasionally prepared some delicious home-cooked food or soup for him. He could not move now, so sometimes she would push him downstairs to take a walk and bask in the sun.

Now that she had agreed to be his girlfriend, she knew, as a girlfriend, she should live with him, and it was more convenient to take care of him.

However, she was not prepared yet. She would leave his house no matter how late it was, and Kevin never forced her to stay.

Their trip back to Italy was also delayed because of Kevin's injury.

Beverly Hills

Louis went into the villa and said hello to Judy.

"Where's the little master?" He asked.

"Lying on the couch watching TV," Judy said with a smile, her tone full of indulgence.
