Chapter 48

It was the hospital calling. The phone ended with Brandon’s cursing, and he became annoyed after the
phone.

“Winnie is missing. She is pregnant and has difficulties walking. If you are worried about her, go with
me. We must find her.”

Before Savanna could answer him, Brandon grabbed her arm and left the hotel.

Hearing that Winnie was missing, Savanna stopped talking.

Although she hated Winnie, Savanna sincerely did not want anything to happen to Winnie. After all, half
of their blood was the same.

Brandon and Savanna rushed to the hospital. When the nurse saw Brandon, she cried even harder.
The nurse sobbed and said,

“I left for medicine. When I returned, the patient had disappeared. I searched downstairs, upstairs, and
the restroom. However, I found her nowhere. I’m so sorry, Mr. Cassel.”

“What’s the use of apologizing? Is this how you take care of patients?” Brandon couldn’t control his
anger and snapped,

“What’s the use of scolding her? Go and find Winnie now!” Savanna reminded.

Annarem

Brandon then began to make calls and used all his connections in Ireland to find Winnie.



He checked the hospital’s surveillance video and saw Winnie had left the ward in a metal wheelchair
and entered the elevator. The elevator slowly moved to the bottom floor, and no one came out of the
elevator.

They searched for a whole day and a whole night but still didn’t get Winnie, as if she had vanished into
thin air.

Brandon and Savanna returned to the hotel. Neither of them had the mood to communicate due to
Winnie’s disappearance. Brandon called the police. Late at night, the police called him back, “Mr.
Cassel, we found her. Please come to the police station.”

Brandon grabbed his coat and buttoned up his suit as he turned to Savanna, “Come with me.”

But Savanna didn’t move and had no intention of moving.

Brandon stopped and ordered coldly, “Savanna, go with me.”

Savanna did not want to provoke the angry Brandon, so she followed Brandon and left the hotel to the
police station, although she had been extremely tired.

When the Irish policeman saw Brandon, he said seriously.

“Mr. Cassel, I’m sorry.”

Brandon furrowed and said, “Please, what happened to her?”

The policeman took them to the interrogation room, and behind the glass, there were several men. The
policeman pointed to the men and said,

“They violated Ms. Landis. If we had come later, I’m afraid, Ms. Landis would have died.”



Brandon’s eyes trembled, and his expression changed aggressively. Brandon grabbed the collar of the
policeman, stared at the policeman with his cold eyes, and questioned.

“Are you sure it’s Winnie?”

“Yes.”

The policeman was frightened by Brandon’s aura. He removed Brandon’s hands from his collar and
found a photo of Winnie on his phone. There was a woman in the photo with disheveled clothes and
messy hair. Several men were on her. The scene was obscene and horrible.

Brandon’s figure swayed as if he couldn’t find his consciousness for a moment.

And his lips turned pale in an instant.

Brandon soon turned from sorrow to fury. He raised his fists and was about to rush in. Brandon wanted
to defeat those hooligans soundly, but the policeman stopped him. The policeman said, “Mr. Cassel,
calm down, please.”

Brandon then realized that he had lost control and tried to calm himself down. After a few seconds,

Brandon asked in a trembling voice.

“Where is Winnie?”

“We called the hospital, and they took her to the hospital. She is in bad condition and needs a
comprehensive examination.”

Brandon pointed at the figures in the interrogation room and ordered, with his voice as sharp as a knife,

“None of those bastards can be spared.”



“Of course.”

Brandon left the police station in a huff after getting the policeman’s promise.

Savanna’s face had turned pale for Brandon and the policeman’s conversation. She was stunned for a
long time before she left the interrogation room.

Savanna’s face had turned pale for Brandon and the policeman’s conversation. She was stunned for a
long time before she left the interrogation room.

Winnie was raped.

How dramatic.

To confirm if Winnie was acting, she caught up with Brandon and took a taxi to the hospital, together.

The atinosphere in the hospital was inexplicably sad.

The nurse stood at the door. She was at a loss because of the panic. When she saw Brandon, she
became even more helpless and didn’t know what to say. Branson ignored the nurse and passed by.

Winnie’s body was shaking uncontrollably in the bed, and her messy hair was scattered on her face.
The footsteps could not attract her attention, and her startled eyes were fixed on something out of the
window.

A nurse said behind Brandon and Savanna in an injured voice, “I want to comb Ms. Landis’ hair, but
she won’t let me and even scratched me.”

Savanna turned to look at the young nurse. There was a deep bloody scratch on her left cheek, and
there was a bruise in the corner of her eye. Savanna withdrew her gaze from the young nurse’s face
and landed on the mess on the ground.



The broken metal pieces on the ground proved that the nurse was not lying.

Savanna waved at the nurse, and the nurse quickly left.

Brandon clenched his fists so hard that they creaked. He squeezed Winnie’s name from his throat. He
sounded so in pain.

Winnie did not react.

Her eyes remained hollow and dull, like a living dead man.

“Winnie, I’m sorry,”

Brandon stretched out his hand. Just as his fingertips touched Winnie’s face, Winnie seemed to have
been electrocuted. Her entire body huddled up, and her face turned to Brandon slowly with fear and
unease. She stared at Brandon coldly and sharply and warned, “Don’t touch me. Otherwise, Brandon
won’t let you off.”

“Winnie, 1 am Brandon, Wake up.”

Winnie didn’t recognize Brandon and still trapped herself in the devil’s nightmare. Looking at Winnie,
Brandon felt his heart was being cut by knives.

Brandon spoke to Winnie in distress, wanting to wake her up from her nightmare. Winnie listened to his
words and stared at him blankly for a long time. Then, she started crying.

“You’re not Brandon. He doesn’t want me anymore. He doesn’t want me anymore.”

As she spoke, Winnie became excited and even shouted.

“He doesn’t want me anymore!”



Tears rolled down from Winnie’s eyes, sparkling and translucent like pearls. Drop by drop, all of those
tears hitting Brandon’s heart.

Brandon felt extremely guilty. He had failed to live up to Winnie’s trust. He could not imagine Winnie’s
mood as she was waiting for him to save her. Winnie had waited for too long, and all her hope turned to
despair.

Brandon blurted out, “I want you. How can I not want you?”

Brandon wiped away Winnie’s tears at the corner of her eyes with his fingers and the tear-wetted hair
sticking on her face. He pulled her into his arms, and then Winnie cried out and put her arms around
Brandon’s waist tightly.

“Brandon, why didn’t you come to me? Why?”

As she spoke, Winnie smashed Brandon’s broad shoulder with her soft fists again and again.

Brandon did not move but endured.

Savanna was standing behind them all the time. When she heard Branson say he wanted Winnie,

Savanna was petrified.

Savanna always knew that Brandon loved Winnie with his whole heart, but she still felt her heart was
grabbed by an invisible hand hard and she couldn’t breathe.

The moment the tears rolled down her face, Savanna left the room and quietly stood at the door of the
ward. She felt her heart was filled with holes, so she covered her chest with her hands, and her thin
figure kept trembling.

Standing in silence for a while, Savanna wiped the tears and turned to leave the hospital.



The night was dark and boundless, and the few stars flickered. Savanna stumbled on the streets of the
capital city of Ireland alone.
