Savannah didn't feel shame or unwillingness because her heart had been numbed by his indifference. Now she just wanted to finish the apology quickly. She opened her mouth to speak, but just then, everything went black, and she fell to the ground in a faint.
The last thing she could remember was the exclamations from her colleagues and the anxiety in his eyes.
It must be her illusion.

Savannah was in a hospital when she woke up.
"You awake? Well, what's the matter with you?" Fiona ran to her bed, breathing a sigh of relief.
Savannah shook her head and supported herself up on elbows. "What happened to me? Why are we here? I passed out?"
Fiona nodded. She told Savannah that she fainted in the conference room just now. Then Jenkins asked a male colleague to send her to the hospital. Fiona, in the planning department next door, after hearing what happened to Savannah, immediately asked for leave with her leader and then sent Savannah to the hospital with that male colleague.
The male colleague just left, and Fiona stayed to look after Savannah.
"Thank you, Fiona," said Savannah. Then she paused and asked tentatively, "only you and the male colleague came to the hospital, right?"
"Yeah," Fiona said with certainty.
A look of disappointment passed over Savannah's face.
Well, why did she still expect him to come?
"Savannah, what's wrong? Do you want anyone else to come?" Fiona asked curiously.
"No, I'm just asking…" Savannah masked her disappointment with a smile.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the doctor came in with the report.
Fiona didn't ask more. She stood up and went to the doctor. "Doctor, what's the result of her examination? Why did she suddenly faint?"
"Five weeks pregnant. You didn't eat breakfast today, did you? Eat on time and take more rest, and you will be all right," said the doctor as she turned over the report without looking up.
Savannah and Fiona were stunned!
Pregnant?
Savannah's face turned white. In the car that night?
Fiona looked at Savannah in surprise. She didn't hear that Savannah had a boyfriend. Savannah even kept a certain distance from all her male colleagues. Now she got pregnant?
Who was Savannah's man?
But Savannah looked stunning too.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Fiona pretended that nothing happened and went out with the doctor to take medicine.
Alone in the ward, Savannah couldn't calm down for a long time, her heart beating violently. She didn't know what to do.
The baby's arrival was nothing but an accident.
She felt helpless and panicked.
Almost immediately, she wanted to take the phone to tell him, but she finally gave up the idea.
He would just think it was her another trick, or she had planned it.
What if he asked her to have an abortion?
An involuntary shudder passed over her.
Just then, Fiona came in, looking at her with a complicated feeling. After a moment, she said, "the doctor said you are a bit anemic. You'd better stay in the hospital for a few days before discharge. I'll report it to Director Jenkins and asked for leave for you."
"Thanks, Fiona," Savannah bit her lip and said, "please don't tell anyone about my pregnancy…Just say I fainted because of anemia."
"Yeah, I know." Fiona nodded and then asked with greater curiosity, "Savannah, I know I shouldn't gossip, but I really wonder who is that man?"
Savannah kept silent, but Fiona was more curious.
"Is he from our company?"
Savannah seemed to expect someone else in the company would come to see her when she just woke up. Did she have an underground love with a man in the company?
"Fiona... I'm sorry. I don't want to talk about that man." Savannah whispered.
She didn't deny it. Was the man really from the company? Fiona was more surprised, but she didn't ask more.
"Well, you can rest assured, I won't tell anyone about it."
* * *
Savannah asked Fiona to take a leave for her, and then she called Garcia, saying that she was on a business trip.
She lived in the hospital for the next few days and didn't tell anyone about her pregnancy.
Fiona concealed her pregnancy from the company and came to visit her every day after work. She also called her from time to time, afraid she would break down alone.
This day at noon, Fiona finished the work at hand, walking out of her office. She took out her mobile phone and was about to call Savannah when Katrina walked toward her from the next office.
"What's the matter with Savannah?" Katrina's eyes fell on Fiona coldly.
Fiona shuddered to see her. After a pause, she murmured, "Anemia, I did tell you when I came back from the hospital that day."
"Really?" Katrina frowned, wondering if Savannah was faking illness to avoid a formal apology.
"Really." Fiona tried to be calm.
"Does she have to live in the hospital for so many days because of anemia?" Katrina didn't believe her words.
"Serious anemia might lead to death. Of course, she could be hospitalized. I suggest you study more medical knowledge, Miss Kaif," Fiona took heart and taunted her.
Katrina didn't expect Fiona dared to speak to her with this attitude. Before she could attack back, Fiona concluded in a hurry, "I have to go to lunch."
Then she went away.
Katrina snorted and slowly went to the tea room. However, when she passed the stairwell door, she could faintly hear a young woman's voice behind the door, and it seemed to be Fiona's voice.
Didn't she go to the canteen to have lunch? How came she was here?
Katrina frowned, glued her ears to the door.
"Savannah, how do you feel today? Still have a feeling of nausea?" After the stairwell door, Fiona held the phone, unaware of Katrina's eavesdropping.
"Well, I'm all right, thank you, Fiona, for calling me every day and coming to see me after work." Savannah appreciated her care, a little embarrassed.
"I know you will do the same for me. You must be very careful during pregnancy, take care of yourself." Fiona whispered.
"I really appreciate it, Fiona."
***
Behind the wall, Katrina's heart was beating fast.
Savannah is pregnant?
Is the baby in her belly Mr. Sterling's?
Without further thought, she went back to her office and called Charlotte.
"You mean, that bitch is pregnant with Dylan's baby?" On the other end of the line, Charlotte was too shocked to speak.
