Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"What side effect?" Savannah caught her breath.

"Of the twelve subjects who took the new drug, nine had some degree of memory loss." Jacob stared deeply at Savannah. "That is to say, even if this new drug can cure Dylan, after that, he may also... forget a lot of people and things. The chance is 75%. I called you here today to ask your opinion."

Savannah gasped, pinching the corner of her dress, and remained silent for a long time.

So, if he took this new drug, he was likely to forget her and all his past with her?

A 75% chance of memory loss...

She clasped and unclasped her hands, and her palms were all cold and sweating. Finally, she moved her lips.

"Does old Sterling know that, what did he say?"

"I spoke to him on the phone just now, and of course, he was glad to know there's finally a new drug for the disease. After much hesitation about the possible side effect, he wanted to ask you and Dylan for your opinions. Especially you, Savannah. You're one of the most important people in the world for Dylan, and old Sterling will fully respect your decision."

Savannah hadn't expected old Sterling to give her the right to choose, but it was too hard.

How could she accept being forgotten by him after all they went through, but how selfish she was to give up a chance in place of him?

"If you can't accept this, we'll wait and try something else. Maybe there will be better medicine..." Jacob knew what she was worried about.

"No, please give him the new drug," Savannah blurted out.

"Are you sure?" Jacob held his breath.

Savannah remembered the helpless look in his eyes when he was called psycho in the park yesterday and the time when he put on his heavy strait-jacket and let Garwood bound him up.

"This's a good opportunity for treatment. How can we give it up? I'm afraid his condition will get worse, and he can't stand it. It will be too late to regret when this new drug won't work. Please, Jacob, let him try."

"But..." Jacob suddenly felt it was too cruel for her.

"It's okay," she interrupted him with a forced laugh. "There's only a 75% chance of memory loss, right? That means there's still a 25% chance of a good ending. I'm sure it'll be fine."

"But what if he wins the 75% chance?"

"Even if he does forget me, it's better than what he is now. Jacob, let him try the new drug," Savannah said firmly.

"Well, I'll arrange it." Seeing that she was so determined, Jacob nodded.

As he got up, Savannah suddenly said, "by the way, Jacob, don't tell him about the side effect of the new drug."

"Why?" Jacob was puzzled for a moment.

"I'm afraid he won't get treatment if he knows..."Savannah murmured. If he knew the possible consequence of taking the new drug, if he knew there was a 75% chance that he would forget her, he would probably refuse.

"I see." Jacob nodded soberly.

***

Dylan had been in a much better mood since he was told about the new drug.

There would be a set round of treatments while he was on the new drug, and the whole process would take about two or three months. Dylan would be sent to a hospital in NY for the treatments.

He wanted Savannah to accompany him to NY. Savannah, however, had to take care of Kaiden, and it was no good in the interruption of her work in the Morton group since she was making steady progress on it. What's more, she had to work personally in the cooperation between K&G and YSHEN, and she couldn't leave for so long.

Joanne and old Sterling also came to talk to her, suggesting she stay. In order to assure her, Jacob would take an elite medical team to accompany Dylan to NY.

Savannah decided to stay at last. Following him might give him too much pressure, and two months was not so unbearable.

On the day Dylan left for NY, Savannah took Kaiden to the airport to see him off.

Watching the private plane verging into clouds, she breathed a sigh of relief, showing a quiet and relaxed smile.

Kaiden hadn't seen his mommy smile like that for a long time. He also knew that his dad was on his way to treatment this time. He would be a healthy daddy again after about two months.

He heard from his grandpa that daddy suddenly called off the wedding to mommy, not because daddy was a bad guy, but he didn't want to burden himself to mommy.

They could have the wedding when daddy recovered from his illness!

He would finally have a complete family.

***

Dylan called Savannah as soon as he arrived in NY and told her he was fine. He showed her and Kaiden his new living environment when they had a video chat. It was a very famous private hospital in NY, and the brain specialist and psychiatric experts were also present. After two days' rest, he would take the new drug and start the course of treatment.

Although Savannah was still worried about the side effect of the new drug, it was nothing compared to the fact that Dylan's condition could be cured.

A 75% chance... Maybe he was the lucky one?

The days went by.

During the days of treatment, Dylan made video calls to Savannah every day. He would also send text messages if Savannah was too busy or he was in intensive treatment that day.

Savannah now lived in Green Bay with Joanne. She had to travel between LA and Chicago while taking care of Kaiden. Although it was a little hard, she didn't feel tired because her mother and her son were all at her side.

Every day was full.

Most of all, there was something to look forward to.

She was waiting for him to come back to good health.

Smith's house

"Not yet? What a good-for-nothing you are! You cannot even find a man after so long!" Cecelia got up from the couch, folding her arms, her pretty little face was red with anger.

After she talked with Savannah last time, she learned that Kevin might have gone back to the orphanage. She went to the orphanage and found him teaching children to draw in the classroom. His beard face indicated he had lived there for a while.
