MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Old Sterling's face grew darker and began to twitch. He had not expected his daughter to be so ill.

Although Susan had done a lot of wrong things, she was his own daughter, and he was very worried that her life might be in danger.

Kaiden knew, of course, that the sick "Miss Sterling" was his aunt, whom he had never met before. Seeing his grandpa was in a bad mood, he sat quietly without saying anything.

"Get the car, Cooper. I'll go and see her." Old Sterling stood up.

Cooper said yes and left.

Savannah rose swiftly. It was dark outside, and Dylan was not in LA, she couldn't let an old man go to the mental house alone.

"Let me go with you, sir," she said quickly.

Old Sterling looked at her, paused, then nodded gratefully.

He knew about Savannah's memory recovery.

He didn't expect she would like to accompany him to see the woman who had done her harm.

After asking a nanny to look after Kaiden, Savannah helped old Sterling to the car and went to the mental home far away from the city center.

It was terribly quiet in the mental home late at night.

At intervals, there were low moans and whimpers, as if from sick men.

Savannah and old Sterling were taken by a nurse to the intensive care unit.

Because it was not visiting hour, the nurse only opened a small window for them.

Through the small window, Savannah saw Susan lying in her hospital bed unconsciously.

After more than three years, Susan was nothing but skin and bones now, far from the proud lady she had once been.

Although Susan had never been a good person, Savannah was still very uncomfortable to see her become like this and felt sorry for old Sterling.

What's more, Susan's condition made her quite uneasy.

After her memory recovered, she also remembered the secret of the Sterling family.

Susan was here because of a hereditary mental illness in her family.

Dylan's brother was killed in a car crash as a result of the disease.

Savannah couldn't help but worry about Dylan and Kaiden. The blood flowing in Kaiden was also the same as that in the Sterlings. Would he also show a sign of insanity in the future?

But Dylan was still fine after all these years, he would be all right...

Why worry about something that hadn't happened yet?

With that in mind, she put her heart at rest.

Old Sterling's eyes turned red. Finally, he turned away and could not bear seeing his daughter so sick.

Savannah followed old Sterling back to the corridor silently.

"How is Susan now, doctor? Why hasn't she woken up?" Old Sterling asked Susan's doctor calmly despite his sadness.

The doctor's expression turned solemn.

"Miss Sterling's acute pneumonia has aggravated and caused the failure of other organs. She has not lived through the desperate situation yet…"

Old Sterling stumbled and nearly fainted, and luckily Savannah flung her arm out just in time to stop him from falling.

The doctor said a few more words before he left with the nurse.

Old Sterling stood still in the corridor, staring quietly at the closed door of the intensive care unit, his face grew grave.

Savannah could understand his feelings. She silently accompanied him without saying anything.

As the night got darker, old Sterling's face became more and more tired. After being comforted and persuaded by Cooper and Savannah, he agreed to leave first and go home to wait for the news.

It was already early in the morning when Savannah sent old Sterling back to Sterling's house. Kaiden had fallen asleep under the care of the nanny, so she went back to Green Bay and said that she would pick up Kaiden tomorrow.

After seeing Savannah off, Cooper went back to the villa and saw old Sterling still sitting in the living room, deep in thought. He sighed and went forward.

"Sir, you should get some sleep. Don't make yourself ill! If there's anything going on with Miss Sterling, the doctor will let us know immediately."

Old Sterling pulled himself together, looked at Cooper, and seemed to have decided something.

"Cooper, call Devin right away. Tell him to come back from Japan at once."

Cooper was stunned.

Since old Sterling sent the master Yontz to Japan three years ago, he had never asked him back to LA.

Suddenly he understood what old Sterling meant.

They didn't know if Miss Sterling could get through her illness this time. If she couldn't get through this, her son could have a last look at her.

Thinking of this, Cooper nodded.

"Yes, sir. I'll call him right away."

The next day, Savannah got up early in the morning, called and told Tina that she wouldn't go to K&G today. Then she went to Sterling's house.

Last night, when Dylan called, she told him about Susan's situation.

He was silent on the phone for a long time.

Savannah knew that he should be in the same mood as old Sterling. No matter what Susan had done before, she had suffered enough, and after all, they were brother and sister.

She told him that she would help old Sterling to take care of Susan, so he wouldn't have to worry about her.

When Savannah arrived at the Sterling's house, Kaiden had just finished breakfast and was playing with toys in the living room.

Looking up, he immediately threw his toys away and ran over.

"Mommy!"

"Where's grandpa?" Savannah touched his head.

"Grandpa wasn't feeling well this morning. He couldn't get up. Dr. Joe came to see him and said his blood pressure was a little high. After taking medicine, grandpa was asked to have a rest in his room," Kaiden replied tamely.

Savannah's face slightly changed. Old Sterling was still too worried about Susan.

She went upstairs. As expected, the old man looked pale, too limp to sit up. When he saw Savannah, he still tried to get out of bed.

"Savannah, let's go to see Susan."

"Sir, you can't run around now that you're sick." Savannah stopped him hurriedly and helped him to lie down.
