Cecelia didn't expect that Kevin hadn't told Savannah about his real origin. There was a pause before she said, "Sis Savannah, may I call you that?"
"Of course." Savannah smiled softly.
"He doesn't like to talk about it. Don't let him know that I told you." Cecelia cast down her eyes.
"I see." Savannah nodded.
Cecelia looked up and said slowly, "Kevin is my brother."
Savannah didn't react for a moment, but after a few seconds, she responded, "you mean... He's Mr. Smith's son?"
"Exactly," Cecelia nodded. "Brother is my father's child, who was born to another woman shortly after my father's marriage. My parents are in a political marriage. After marriage, there is no affection but only fighting and quarrels between them. Their relationship was very bad. Brother's biological mother was the daughter of the house housekeeper of my family. Accidently, she was pregnant with Kevin and was driven away by my mother. She died after giving birth to Kevin in another place. When my father found Kevin a few years ago, he felt guilty and wanted Kevin to come back to the Smith family, but Kevin refused every time. I'm very clear that at first, my brother did really hate my father and didn't want to forgive him, but slowly, he refused to come back because he wanted to protect my father from criticism. He was afraid that his career and reputation might be affected when the public knows he has an illegitimate son."
Savannah was speechless with shock.
It was no wonder that Kevin stopped looking for his biological parents. He had found them!
And his father was even a big shot in the political world.
Whether because he hated his biological father or he didn't want the Smith family's reputation to be tarnished, he couldn't tell his story.
So he just let it go.
It made perfect sense why Robert helped Kevin so much.
The two people were father and son.
"The Smith family has been in politics for a long time. My father only has one son, so whether my brother is willing to return to the family or not, the family's property and position in the political field are destined to belong to him. Now you, after knowing his real identity, will you go back to him? What he has is no less than what Mr. Sterling has. If you marry him, you will be the daughter-in-law of the governor. One day, the man beside you may be the most powerful man in LA. My brother can give you whatever Mr. Sterling can give you. Most important of all, my brother loves you. Maybe he's still waiting for you to change your mind," Cecelia said slowly with a bitter smile.
Why did she feel so bad and sad when she tried to persuade the other woman to accept Kevin and makeup with him?
She was really uncomfortable, but she had to.
If Kevin could only be happy with Savannah, she would do this for him.
As long as he could be happy.
"Cecelia, I didn't marry Kevin but came back to Dylan, not because Dylan can give me more or something like that," Savannah said softly.
Cecelia paused, a little ashamed of herself for asking such a question.
Yes, if Savannah would give up Mr. Sterling because Kevin was the young master of the governor's family, what was there for Kevin to love? It was impossible for Kevin to like such a vain and fickle woman.
"I'm sorry, sis Savannah. I shouldn't have asked that" she murmured apologetically.
"Nothing. Cecelia. If you find Kevin, tell him I'm really sorry. I'll go to see him in person and apologize when Dylan is better," Savannah added.
Cecelia nodded and turned to leave. She couldn't wait to go to Kevin.
"Cecelia --" Savannah blurted out.
"Yes?" Cecelia paused and turned to look at her.
Savannah opened her mouth, unable to ask straight out.
"No… nothing. Take care."
Cecelia waved her bye and ran to the car, waiting not far away.
Savannah took a long breath as the car pulled away.
She was wondering if Cecelia really just took Kevin as brother only.
She was in a relationship now, and she knew how a girl looked like when she loved it.
From Cecelia's behavior and the anxiety in her eyes, she cared too much about Kevin as a sister.
But this was too ethically challenging for Savannah to say. What if there was a mistake? It would scare that girl.
But if it was as she guessed, it would be too much...
Maybe she was just oversensitive.
Savannah thought as she entered the hospital.
In the ward, Dylan, still wearing a strait-jacket, looked refreshed and calmed with his clean chin. He seemed no different from other people.
Savannah was much relieved to see him in good condition.
"Today's soup is made with chicken broth and leeks. I made it myself. You must drink it up, and not a drop left!" She put the box down as she said.
"One of the Smiths came to you just now?" He suddenly asked.
"Oh, yeah," she paused. Maybe his bodyguard saw her talking to Cecelia at the door just now. "Well, Miss Smith came to me."
"About Kevin?"
She nodded. "Yes, Kevin's been in a bad mood, and she couldn't find him. She came to ask if I knew where he was and told me something about Kevin, so it took a while."
Dylan knew that she was worried about his emotions, that she explained to him in great detail because she didn't want him to think much.
"Come here." He looked at her.
She went over, feeling that he pulled her into his arms as much as he could.
"You must be tired to stay with me. If you were married to Kevin, that wouldn't be the case." He rubbed his chin lightly against her forehead as he whispered.
"How can you say that again! I'm angry," she grumbled.
He gave her a kiss and then he thought of something.
"You know it all? Kevin's the son of the Smith family," he said casually.
She was not surprised that he already knew Kevin's story. With his power and ability, it was not strange that he knew everything.
"He may be illegitimate now, but he's still the master of the Smith family, and you can be the daughter-in-law of the governor," he said slowly.
