Chapter 558 - 558: You Look So Different
"Who are you?" Savannah stared at him blankly. Her voice was hoarse.
Dylan froze.
Behind him, Garwood stood dumbfounded.
"Miss Schultz! You have not lost your memory again, have you?"
Was the nerve in her brain-damaged after she stayed in the refrigerated container for so long?
"Don't you know me?" Dylan stared at her nervously.
"I'll call the doctor." Garwood started for the door.
Mr. Sterling would collapse if Miss Schultz made another memory loss!
"Stop!" laughed Savannah weakly.
Garwood halted. Dylan also looked at her, puzzled.
She lifted her hand and ran it through his untidy, unkempt hair.
"I really didn't recognize you. You look so…different."
Garwood looked relieved! Then he gave a glance at Mr. Sterling.
Since Miss Schultz and the young master were rescued from the refrigerated container and sent to the hospital, Mr. Sterling had stayed in the hospital all the time. He looked haggard after he watched her bed for three days.
Dylan was a bit on edge till she woke up. Regardless of the presence of Garwood, he wrapped his long arm around her waist and held her into his arms.
"How dare you frighten me." He whispered to her ear.
Garwood winked at them and turned his head.
"Where's Kaiden? Is he fine?" She raised her hand to his chest.
In fact, according to Garwood and his reaction, she knew that Kaiden should be okay, but she was still worried about that boy.
"Don't worry, Miss Schultz," said Garwood. "the young master woke up the same day he was carried out. He recovered faster than you. Now he's in good spirits, and he can leave the hospital soon. Mr. old Sterling and Cooper are with him in the next ward. I'll take him to see you later."
She was greatly relieved.
"Garwood," Dylan gave him a look.
Garwood smiled, left, and closed the door.
Dylan had no more scruples and pressed her to his arms.
He held her so close that she felt as if he wanted to hug her into him, for fear that she would disappear again.
She was almost out of breath when he reluctantly released a little but still holding her.
That day, when his men finally found her, according to the information she provided on the phone, Kaiden was still breathing, but she was frozen stiff and suffering from shock.
He rushed to the hospital and almost broke down when he learned that she once had no blood pressure or heartbeat.
His world would come to collapse without her.
There was only one thought in his mind—she must be saved.
He gathered the best doctors in the city for a consultation and got the most sophisticated medical equipment.
Finally, she restored the normal heartbeat after the emergency treatment, and her physiological function slowly returned to normal.
God knew how he suffered while she was struggling on the edge of death.
She was at a loss of what to do by his powerful embrace. He seemed to be more frightened than she was. Somehow, she was overcome with a warm feeling inside her.
"Dylan..." she patted him on the back gently.
"Give me your promise that you'll never leave me again." He leaned over her ear, his voice low and domineering.
"I promise you," she whispered with a helpless smile.
"Now, you can go on with your unfinished words." He recovered his countenance and sat upright.
"What?" Savannah stared at him.
"You said you wanted to say something to me that day on the phone, but you didn't get to say it. Now, I'll give you a chance." His tone was husky.
Savannah's face went red as she remembered what she had said.
"I... I'm just saying it... Nothing important…"
"Really? I don't believe it." His coarse fingers moved against her chin.
"Really..." She bit her lip.
"If you cheat me, I will…" His palm threatened to slip into her large gown.
She gasped, knowing that he meant what he said, and stopped him in a hurry. "Well... but that cannot be said now."
"And when?"
"At the wedding…" She lowered her voice shyly.
His eyes narrowed, and his lips bent slightly as if he understood what she was trying to say.
"Savannah Schultz, are you suggesting that I marry you soon? Well, I see." He teased.
"I didn't!" She blushed.
"You're obviously proposing."
"I asked you to marry me? In your dream!" Embarrassed, she lifted her fist to push him away but was caught by him and pulled back into his arms.
"Oh, well, did you find the people who kidnapped Kaiden and me?" She asked in his arms.
His face suddenly changed, and his brow plucked up.
"It's Edmond," he said.
Savannah gasped, Edmond again...
"It's my fault." Dylan's voice lowered, "I didn't know Edmond had the nerve to do that to you after he was disabled. This time he went even further. Now the police and my people are searching for him. He can't hide for long. He, and the one behind the scenes, will come to no good."
Savannah certainly knew who Dylan was referring to.
Edmond had no reason to hate her so much. It must be Charlotte.
They just didn't have proof yet. But by the time Edmond was caught, Charlotte would not be able to escape.

In the afternoon, Savannah had a complete physical examination, and the doctor said that she could be discharged after two more days.
Dylan was fully relieved and agreed to go back to take a good sleep and change his clothes before he came again.
After he left, old Sterling took Kaiden to Savannah's ward to see her.
The little guy ran to her like a full-spirited puppy. He had fully recovered.
Savannah smiled with relief. Luckily Kaiden was not injured, otherwise, she really didn't know what to do.
To tell the truth, she had no special deep feelings for Kaiden during that period when she couldn't remember him.
After all, she left Kaiden as soon as he was born, and she didn't even know she had a son.
But after she stayed with him for so long, especially after the recovery of memory, she loved him more and more and couldn't bear to be apart from him now.
