Seeing Robert, the lady sneered just as if she had succeeded in catching him in adultery. She folded her arms and said sarcastically, "oh, you are here."
Robert didn't expect his wife to come. It seemed that she had known all about his looking for his son, and she even knew he had taken Kevin here.
"Madison? What are you coming for?" Robert frowned in embarrassment and motioned his confidant and the guards behind his wife to leave first.
When there were only two of them in the hall, Madison no longer attempted to conceal her smoldering anger.
"Why can't I come? Are you afraid that I'll disturb the reunion between you and your bastard son? Robert, I just knew that you'd been looking for the child of that bitch for all these years! And now, you met him privately and even took him to Balfour Sanatorium! Do you still regard me as your legal wife?" She shouted, purple with rage.
"Enough! Go back first, and we'll talk about it later." Robert grabbed his wife's arm and tried to pull her out.
Madison threw off his hand in anger. "No! Unless you get rid of that bastard! Promise me you'll never see that bastard again! "
Robert was furious when he heard the word bastard come from her again and again. He blurted out, "he's my son! Why should I get rid of him?"
"What do you mean?" She roared at him, and her delicate face contorted with rage. "You want to bring this bastard back to the Smith family? Where do I stand? Have you ever thought about the feeling of our daughter?"
"I'll arrange it." Robert declared.
Madison glared at him. "Robert, if it were not for my family's support, you would not have been elected governor of California four years ago. The new election will come soon. Do you still want to serve another term?"
Robert's face darkened as his wife threatened him.
"Send that bastard away and never meet him again! Otherwise, believe it or not, I'll immediately expose your adultery within the marriage to the press. Everyone will know about your affair with your servant's daughter, and you will be spat at and reviled by the people who have once supported you!" snapped Madison, in a sort of shriek.
How could a proud man stand being put down by his wife in public? Robert's face was flushed with anger under the fire of his wife, and finally, he bellowed, "whatever!"
"Robert! You'll see! My father won't spare you!" Madison shouted and stomped out of the hall.
Robert's confidant came over hurriedly when Madison left. "Sir, Mrs. Smith looks irritated. Would she really complain to Mr. Jones?"
Madison was from the Jones family, which was powerful in politics. If Robert had to go against them, his political career must be affected.
Robert also knew that he should not have made the relationship with his wife so difficult. In fact, he could comfort her with kind words. But he would lose face if he ran to coax her back at once.
"I don't care! I'll see if the Jones family can defeat me!" He snorted.
In the doorway outside the hall, Kevin overheard them quarreling. His lips curled with cold amusement.
Mrs. Smith didn't have to worry too much. He never thought of being the young master of the Smith family.
Had it not been for Savannah, he would never have come into contact with his biological father.
Just then, urgent footsteps behind him interrupted his thought. A young nurse seemed to be looking for someone. Her eyes brightened at the sight of Kevin.
"Mr. Wills, Miss Schultz woke up!"
"Really?" Kevin's heart jumped for joy. He put aside his gloomy mood, and hurriedly followed the nurse to Savannah's ward.
He pushed the door open and strode in.
Savannah, pale but clearly wide awake, was staring out the window.
Kevin walked to her bedside and said softly, "Savannah, it's great that you're awake. Do you feel alright? You still look pale."
The little woman on the bed woke up with a start. She turned around and stared at Kevin. "Brother Kevin? You're really, Kevin?"
Kevin froze. He wondered if she was not entirely clear headed after a long sleep. "Yeah, I'm your Kevin brother." He put his hand on her shoulder and tried to soothe her.
Then Kevin was even more surprised at Savannah's response.
"What am I doing here? Where are we? The hospital? Why does my tummy ache so much? And the wound… Have I just had an operation? What happened? And... I haven't seen you since I left the orphanage. Why are you... with me?" Her voice thrilled.
Her words took Kevin's breath away. What did she mean?
Didn't she remember that she had had a c-section?
It seemed that she didn't even remember they had met in the orphanage again. There was a big hole in her head.
What happened? What's going on? The terrible fear seized upon Kevin. But he had to restrain his emotions when Savannah looked more frightened than him. He gently touched her hair and asked, "Savannah, we're in the hospital now, don't you remember why you came in?"
Savannah looked down, half frightened and half shy as if Kevin was a stranger to her. "I... I woke up and found myself lying here... What happened to me? I... I can't really remember. I have a headache..."
A strange fear was beginning to throb in Savannah's heart. She put her head in her hands and groaned slightly in pain.
What's wrong with her? Why was her mind a complete blank? She seemed to have forgotten many things.
"Savannah, I'm here. I'm your Kevin brother. Don't be afraid." Kevin whispered as he took Savannah's hand away from her head, holding her hand in his.
He was still in a trance.
Savannah had lost some memory, including Dylan and the new baby.
"Kevin... What happened to me?" Savannah murmured with a start of terror.
"It's okay, Savannah." Kevin forced a smile, "you'll be fine. Have a rest, and I'll call the doctor to see you."
