Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

The girl's shoes were badly broken in the explosion, and she had no money to buy a new pair. She was barefoot in the hospital every day, and her feet were badly worn. Savannah pitied her, so she put on her sneakers for the girl, and she herself put on the slippers borrowed from the hospital.

Yesterday, the bodyguard who protected Savannah hurried out to look for her when he found that she was missing. Finally, he found the hospital, but because the signal was bad, he could not be contacted by Dylan.

Despite the false alarm, Dylan was still terrified.

Although she was not injured in the riots, one of the explosions was near her school and also injured her classmates. This time she was just lucky.

After hearing the whole story, Dylan stood up gravely and took her hand in his, walking through the crowd to the door.

"Hey, wait... I've got a lot of work to do..." cried Savannah.

Dylan knew what she was talking about.

"I'm leaving some bodyguards to take care of the wounded, okay?" He said without looking back.

"But… Elisa went back to school to get something, and her phone ran out of battery. She will be worried if she can't see me when she comes back," Savannah hesitated.

"I'll ask the bodyguard to tell her," he replied coldly as he led her out of the hospital.

Not far away from the entrance of the hospital, a car was parked to the curb, waiting for them. Two Milan policemen who accompanied Dylan were relieved to see that he had found the woman he wanted.

How important the young lady was to him was implicit in his anxiety to find her.

Fortunately, she was all right now. If anything happened to the young lady in the riots, there was no doubt that they would have trouble.

"Sir, shall I take you and this lady back to the hotel?" They greeted Dylan and Savannah humbly and respectfully in English.

Savannah had been in Italy for three years, and she knew those Italian policemen always gave themselves airs and looked down their nose at plain citizens, especially foreigners. In her first year in Italy, she had lost her wallet when she was shopping with her classmates, and they called the police, but the police just ignored her and said they were too busy to care for such a trifle.

But at the moment, the two brawny policemen were treating Dylan with special respect as if he were their boss.

She knew that the Sterling family was powerful in the domestic business circle but didn't expect that their force had also extended to southern Europe.

"No. You go ahead," Dylan said simply.

The two policemen exchanged a look and hesitated, "Sir, the chief asked us to work for you. He will scold us if we don't serve you well."

Dylan glanced at Savannah and then at the hospital gate.

"Do me a favor if you have nothing to do." He narrowed his eyes.

"Sure, sir."

"Send more people to the hospital to take care of the residents who were injured in the explosions, especially those from slums. Take more food and clothes for them. Be sure to take good care of those injured foreigners, too." Dylan ordered, his voice serious.

The two policemen paused and then quickly nodded.

"Yes, sir." With that, they hurriedly went into the hospital.

Savannah stared at the two policemen who had been sent away, and her eyes fell on Dylan in shock.

The number of injured was increasing, but the manpower was limited. She and her classmates had gone to the police station for help, but the police had never responded.

Now, the Italian police immediately agreed as soon as the man gave his order.

"Completely relieved now? Let's go." He looked at the little woman.

"Are you taking me back to your hotel?" Savannah wondered.

"Why, where do you want to go? Riots might break out again these days." He frowned slightly, approaching her.

Since he had flown in himself, she was, of course, safest with him.

Savannah wanted to ask him whether he had come out of fear for her safety, but she swallowed the question.

She was afraid that he would again say he just didn't want her accident on the social news to disgrace the Sterling family.

With that in mind, Savannah shook her head.

"I'd better go back to school. The school security is very good, and the dormitory is safe. No matter how violent the riot is, it's impossible for the mob to enter the school. Besides, I have two exams this week, so it's more convenient to live on campus."

Dylan fell silent when she was so determined, his face darkening.

The bodyguard, who was in charge of protecting Savannah, came and said to ease the situation, "Sir, I will accompany Miss Schultz back to school and take care of her."

Dylan thought for a while and finally nodded.

***

When Savannah was back in the dormitory, Elisa was packing some food and warm clothes for the poor and injured people.

"Savannah, why are you back?" She looked up in surprise.

"Well, you don't have to go, either. The police will send someone to look after the injured and deliver the food and clothes." Savannah didn't mention Dylan.

"What?" Elisa was surprised. "Didn't they just say there were not enough people to help? What made them change today?" Elisa wondered.

"Errr..." Savannah didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I know!" Elisa's brain flashed, and she suddenly grinned.

"Ah, what do you know?" Did the girl know Dylan was coming?

"The bodyguards who protected you must have said something to the police, didn't they? You said that the Sterling family is a very powerful family, and they have many industries in Italy too. The police would consider this situation." Elisa made a wild guess.

"Yeah. Anyway, the police are better than us. You don't have to worry about it." Savannah smiled acquiescence.

Elisa nodded and said no more.

After two days' hard work in the hospital, they were both tired. They took a shower and fell asleep.

When Savannah woke up, it was late at night. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw that Elisa's bed was empty.

She must have gone to the bathroom.

A moment later, the bathroom door opened.
