Chapter 299

Savanna immediately reached out, wanting to close the door. But Rex blocked the door with his arms.
No matter how much force Savanna used, the door did not move at all.

Rex had no intention of retreating. Instead, he squeezed half of his body in. Savanna was furious.
“Who are you? What do you want? I can sue you for trespassing.”

Rex paid little attention to Savanna’s words. He forcefully pushed open the door and walked in from her
side. Savanna became nervous seeing that Rex was so calm and indulgent. She chased after him and
said, “Get out, or I’ll call the police.”

Rex saw that there was only a simple bed and a leather suitcase in the room. There was no kitchen, no
pots, bowls, and pans.

Rex glanced at the trash can and immediately understood what kind of life Savanna was living.

She lived on take-outs.

Rex stood in the middle of the room, making the already narrow room seem even more crowded.

He looked at Savanna and said, “Ms. Thompson, Brandon has been looking for you everywhere in New
York. Yet you chose to live in such a shabby

place. What’s wrong with you?”

This was the first time Rex had spoken to Savanna so rudely.

He was too angry.



Savanna smiled coldly and replied, “I am not Ms. Thompson. My name is Sophia. Shouldn’t you
know?”

Rex said, “If you are not Savanna, why did you run away in the afternoon? If you are not Savanna, why
did you want to close the door, instead of letting me in, when you saw me just now?”

Savanna found an excuse. “The light outside was so dim just now. How would I know who you are?
Besides, it’s already so late. You should feel lucky that I didn’t attack you like a bad person.”

Rex smiled and exhaled. He gritted his teeth, “Alright, I’m not here to argue with you. I can’t deal with
you, but someone can.”

As he spoke, Rex lowered his head, took his phone, and was about to make a call. Savanna
immediately held his hand, and said with great panic, “Don’t…”

Rex raised his head and met Savanna’s masked face. He sneered, “You finally admit that you’re
Savanna?”

Savanna felt that she could no longer hide it. She

begged in a low and hoarse voice, “Rex, don’t tell him. You are a doctor. You should be able to
understand the mental state of a patient. I really can’t face him and Mandel this way.”

At the mention of Mandel, Savanna felt extremely sad.

The atmosphere suddenly became sorrowful.

Rex had been a doctor for many years. Of course, he understood the mental state of disfigured
patients, especially women. Many of them refused to go out. Some even got depressed and, in the
end, committed suicide.



Rex would usually be careful when he met this kind of patient, deeply afraid that he would say the
wrong thing.

Rex said, “You can’t just hide like this. Besides, I believe that Brandon won’t mind. He loves you so
much, so he won’t mind your appearance.”

Savanna touched her teeth with the tip of her tongue, smiling sadly. “Perhaps he doesn’t at first, but
after a long time, he will mind it, just like every other man. Besides, I can’t live a normal life with him.”

There was nothing to be afraid of. Savanna believed that as her attending physician, Rex knew her
condition very well.

When this matter was mentioned, Rex remained silent.

Sex was the most important thing in a relationship.

If a couple can’t have sex, they would get tired of each other sooner or later.

After all, sex was man’s second brain.

A woman could live well without sex, but a man could not.

Rex was silent for a moment. Then, he said in a softer voice, “The team has been working hard to
develop medicine day and night. If they cannot find a patient, their work would be wasted. Savanna,

everything will be fine. Believe me.”

Rex was telling Savanna, “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I will definitely develop the medicine to cure you.
However, you must not run away. If you run away, what our team has been working on would be
pointless.”

Savanna said, “Brandon guarded the exit of New York very tightly. I almost couldn’t leave.”



Savanna’s eyes were full of sorrow. She seemed to be talking to Rex, but also muttering to herself,
“Where can I go? I can’t go anywhere.”

Seeing that Savanna had no intention of going back, Rex let out a breath and advised earnestly,

“Savanna, you have to go back with me. You can’t live in such a terrible place.”

As he spoke, Rex grabbed Savanna’s hand, wanting to take her away.

Savanna got extremely anxious. As a woman, there was no way she could get rid of Rex. Rex grabbed
her with his big hand, pulling her out of the door.

“Rex, I can’t go back, I really can’t go back.”

At the mention of going back, an unprecedented fear flowed through Savanna’s limbs and seeped into
her bone marrow. She once again got the urge to escape.

“Since I found you, I can’t pretend that I didn’t see anything. If Brandon finds out, he will definitely
blame me. I can’t hurt the friendship between him and me. Savanna, you are seriously ill. You should
stay with your family and let them take care of you. This is also good for your recovery.”

Finally, Rex managed to drag Savanna outdoors. Savanna held a lamp post. Rex could no longer pull
Savanna. He gasped for breath and finally let go. Savanna, who had been freed, was about to run to
the rented house.

Rex reached out and grabbed her arm.

In the air, the sound of bones breaking rang out.

Savanna was in so much pain that tears flowed down.



She was afraid that Rex would use more strength, so she did not dare to run. She could only stand in
place.

Seeing that Savanna stopped resisting, Rex immediately called Brandon, saying, “Your wife is here.
Come here quickly.”

Savanna wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Rex ended the call and sent Brandon the address.

Brandon was sitting in the study, smoking. When he saw Rex’s name flashing on the screen, he
thought that Rex was going to discuss medicine research for him. He did not expect that when the call
was connected, Rex said, “Your wife is here. Come here

quickly.”

Rex sounded hurried.

Brandon frowned and smiled. He had no time to put out his cigarette. And he forgot to take his coat. He
went downstairs in his turtleneck sweater and drove directly to the address Rex sent.

Brandon got out of the car. The surroundings were pitch black. In the dim light, there were two shadows
flickering beside the lamppost. He walked over and saw Rex and a masked woman.

And Rex’s big hand was still tightly clutching the woman’s shoulder.

Seeing Brandon, Rex quickly moved aside, feeling relieved. “You’re finally here. Now, bring your wife
back.”
