Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Elisa was looking for Savannah hastily when she arrived and saw that.

"Don't worry," the doctor said, "take her back to her room, she needs rest."

Andrew realized that Savannah had heard him. He exchanged a look with Elisa.

Together they helped Savannah get up.

Elisa softened her voice and said, "Savannah, let's go back to finish the injection."

Savannah, however, came to her senses and struggled out.

"I won't go back! Where is he? Take me to him, please…"

Elisa and Andrew hesitated as though they were trying to suppress something. Finally, Elisa whispered, "Savannah, easy. You are still very weak. Let's talk about it later…"

Savannah quivered more terribly.

"I don't care if he is alive or dead," she mumbled, "I want to see him. Please, Elisa, take me to him. One last look…"

"Savannah, don't worry, Mr. Sterling is fine." Elisa burst into tears.

Fine? No way.

If he was fine, why did Andrew tell the nurse not to mention Dylan to her, and why did Elisa refuse to let her see him?

Savannah knew that Elisa was comforting her.

How could he still be fine after being shot in the head?

Her fists were clenched so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms.

"Take me to him, please. I... I will be strong," she murmured.

Elisa was about to persuade her when Andrew grabbed her arm and whispered, "come on, take her there."

It was not good to keep Savannah in fear.

Elisa nodded.

They took the elevator down and went to another inpatient building, a special place for the treatment of critically ill patients.

The unknown destination kept Savannah in suspense. If Elisa hadn't held her, she wouldn't have had the strength to walk so far.

She was even ready to be taken to the morgue and found him sleeping under a sheet of white cloth.

Finally, Elisa held her up outside a room at the end of the corridor.

She saw Garwood and several of his bodyguards, who had come with him to Italy, standing outside the door.

This room was an intensive care unit.

But it was a great relief to her, she had to say!

At least he wasn't dead!

Garwood was surprised to see Savannah coming. He stepped forward and looked at Andrew.

"Miss Schultz is not well yet. Why bring her here in a hurry?" He whispered in a reproachful tone.

"Well, she will never rest until she sees Dylan." Andrew sighed.

Savannah's heart flew into her mouth again. She broke from Elisa rushing to Garwood and asked impatiently, "Garwood, where's Dylan? How's he?"

Garwood hesitated for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying quietly, "Miss Schultz, you and Mr. Sterling have been in the hospital for three days."

She had been unconscious for three days…

"Before Mr. Sterling went to the warehouse to save you that day, he talked to Mr. Caffrey. A technology company of Knight Group is now working on a new locator that can be easily implanted into the body for effective positioning and tracking. They implanted the locator in Mr. Sterling's body before he went to the warehouse, so the Italian police could get there in time," Garwood said slowly.

In time? Savannah looked at Garwood blankly.

She was fine, but he was black and blue, and he got shot in the head to protect her...

She swallowed her tears and slowly turned her face towards the closed door.

"How's he?"

"Rest assured. Mr. Sterling is not dead. He's fortunate. He had no breath when he was sent to the hospital, but after the emergency treatment, his heart began to pound. The doctor said there are three kinds of shots in the brain, and the injury of Mr. Sterling is called tangent brain injury. The bullet penetrated his skull and scalp and simply caused trauma to the scalp with no major nerve injury. Mr. Sterling's just finished a microsurgical operation, and he's temporarily out of danger."

Savannah was finally relieved. She could not control her tears of joy.

He was not dead!

But her relieved smile froze when she remembered Andrew and Elisa's hesitation. If Dylan's operation was completely successful, and there was nothing serious, they shouldn't have hid it from her.

"He's all right now, isn't he?" she asked nervously.

Garwood and Andrew glanced at each other, and after a long silence, Andrew said, "Mr. Sterling is not awake after the operation."

"Apart from the operation, it's only two days after the operation. That's normal." Savannah didn't immediately understand what he meant.

"The doctor said, in his case, maybe... he'll never wake up," Andrew said at last.

What did he mean?

Savannah seemed to have been sucked dry of all her energy. There was a mist before her eyes, and she almost fell. Luckily Elisa caught her in time.

"Go ahead..." She kept calm with an effort.

Andrew received a wink from Elisa, knowing she wanted him to put it mildly. But how?

He took a deep breath and continued, "how could a man be all right after being shot in the head? Though his life is saved, the parts of the brain responsible for consciousness are damaged, and it's hard for him to wake up from this vegetable state. You need to be prepared."

"Savannah, we are afraid you can't accept this, and we planned to tell you when you feel better..." Elisa held her tightly and sobbed.

"No, I don't believe it," Savannah said, shaking her head as she held back her tears with difficulty. "He has just had an operation, and it's not surprising he's not awake now. Why should the doctor conclude that he won't wake up? I'm sure he'll wake up! Advances in medical science can save him! If the conditions in Italy are limited, we can go back to the US!"

She couldn't believe that he was now in a vegetative state since the family disease he had could be cured.

He was so strong, never afraid of any difficulty, and he would not be easily knocked down!

Elisa patted her on the back, comforting her softly, "Yes. We also believe that Mr. Sterling won't fall like this. God wouldn't be so cruel to him."
