Chapter 444 - 444: Why Did She Hesitate?
The man\'s admiration for Savannah was obvious. Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have gone against Dylan and taken Savannah three years ago.
Although he did not promise anything, she was confident that he wouldn\'t sit still doing nothing.

After Kevin left, Savannah took medicine from the nurse and went back to her bed. She was about to have more sleep when she heard a knock at the door, and then a sweet boy\'s voice.
"Mommy!"
"Kaiden? Come in." She felt quite refreshed when she heard this voice.
The door opened. Dylan walked in with the boy and closed the door behind him.
"What are you doing here?" Savannah\'s smile faded away as he came in. She did not expect him to visit her together with Kaiden. Hastily she seized the coverlet of her bed and wrapped it around herself as if he was a dangerous beast.
He laid Kaiden down, glanced at the nervous little woman, and walked slowly to the bedside.
"You break your promise again?" Savannah said and winced.
Dylan was silent for a moment, then he gazed at her, leaning over to her ears.
"If my memory serves me right, you were not so repellent to me when I brought you to the hospital last night." He whispered.
"That\'s because I\'ve got a fever... and my mind was not clear." Her face turned scarlet.
"And now? Is your head clear?" He moved closer, the tip of his nose almost touching her ear.
Savannah felt like her fever came back again.
"Kaiden, come here." She called hurriedly.
Kaiden, unaware of his father\'s mild disapproval, elbowed his father away, climbed onto the bed, and then sat in Savannah\'s arms.
"Why are you ill again, mommy? You\'re like a kid. You get sick more easily than I do." Kaiden touched her forehead as he mumbled.
Dylan took a look at them peevishly. It seemed that he was an unwanted one.
"Thank you for bringing Kaiden to see me," Savannah said, holding Kaiden in her arms. "If you have any business to do, go ahead. I\'ll have your bodyguard send Kaiden back later."
"You can go first. I\'ll go back myself." Kaiden also waved his hands to his father.
Seeing how the little woman avoided his eyes, Dylan stood there for a while and gave his son an unhappy look before he finally left the ward.
Savannah heard his footsteps receding and let out a sigh.
"Mommy. Uncle Garwood said you\'re leaving again, aren\'t you?" Although Kaiden had driven his father away by Savannah\'s wish, he still stood at his father\'s side. Their common goal was to take Savannah back home.
"We can keep in touch with each other online," Savannah said, a little uncertain. "It\'s so convenient to talk to each other on video. You can still see me every day and come to Milan at any time. If I had time, I\'d come back."
For this little guy, she felt really guilty.
To tell the truth, at this moment, she was still shocked and bewildered at the fact that she was a parent.
Totally unprepared. Deep in her mind, she felt that she was still a little girl.
Kaiden protruded the lip in an expression of displeasure.
Come back? Uncle Garwood said his mother would never come back after the departure this time!
"Mommy, do you really want to go?" His eyes filled with tears.
Savannah was distracted there. In fact, it was a very simple question.
Just answer, "yes."
Why did she hesitate? Didn\'t she always want to leave?
She had made up her mind to go back to Italy with Kevin as soon as the contest was over. Now her work was almost finished, and it was time to leave.
Why was she hesitating? Was it because that man had been taking care of Aunt Garcia for her for three years? Or did he helped her several times these days?
No, she must harden her heart, for Kevin, who had been waiting for her for so many years.
After a moment\'s pause, she nodded her head affirmatively.
"Yes. I still haven\'t finished my studies in Italy, and I\'ve got my own life there, so... I must leave."
Kaiden looked at Savannah helplessly. In fact, he came to the hospital today to help his daddy stay with his mommy. He had expected that mommy would agree soon after he blinked out some tears. But now, under her persistent eyes, he could not say a word.
He didn\'t want mommy to be unhappy. He didn\'t want to stop her from doing what she really wanted to do.
If she was forced to stay and became unhappy, he would be unhappy too.
Finally, he swallowed his disappointment and lowered his head.
Sorry, daddy, I can\'t help you this time.

In the evening, Kevin finished his work in JK and came to the hospital to see Savannah. He went to the nurse station for Savannah\'s condition first and learned that Dylan had visited Savannah with Kaiden today.
These nurses didn\'t know the relationship between Savannah and the two young men, but their fine countenance and elegant manner never failed to impress young women.
"By the way, what\'s the relationship between Miss Schultz in bed 26 and the gentleman with the little boy?" asked a fat young nurse, who was always talkative.
The older head nurse next to her gave her a warning glance.
Kevin didn\'t say anything. He smiled politely and left. But as soon as he turned, the smile on his face faded away immediately.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, Savannah and that man, as well as Kaiden, was a happy family, and he was only an outsider.
He knocked twice at the door of the ward, but there was no answer. When he walked in, Savannah was sitting on the hospital bed in a daze.
Did she think about that man? She even didn\'t hear the knock on the door.
"Savannah." He broke the silence.
Only then did Savannah regain her composure and looked at him.
"What are you thinking? If I\'m a bad man, you\'ll be in danger when I come in like this." Kevin smiled.
"If the bad guys in the world were as good as you, everyone would love bad guys." Savannah jokes.
"You\'re so honey-tongued. No wonder the dean of our orphanage likes you the most." Kevin leaned over and rubbed her head gently, looking at her as if she was just a spoiled child.
"Speaking of that, we haven\'t visited the old dean for three years," Savannah said.
"Well, why not we go to the orphanage the day before we leave?" Kevin sat down next to the bed and said casually.
