Chapter 274 - 274: How’s That Possible?
Valerie scrutinized her cousin quietly.
Since Savannah was three months pregnant, her belly should have been swelling. However, she wore a loose one-piece dress today, her belly looks flat, and no one could see she's pregnant. Maybe it was because she didn't have a good appetite during her pregnancy, she looked even thinner than before.
An envious cold smile rose on Valerie's lips. She had the impulse to push her cousin hard to the ground.
"What's up?" Devin noticed Valerie's sensation and looked at her.
"Nothing." Valerie shook her head, trying to suppress her emotion. Then she smiled confidentially.
What's the hurry? Everything had been planned. This little bitch would not give birth to this child safely.
She would never let Savannah have the chance to marry into the Sterling family and argue with her for the position of the hostess of the house!
Savannah pretended not to see Valerie when she and Devin walked over to them.
Yesterday, Cooper called and invited Dylan and her to come for dinner on family day. She thought Dylan would refuse, but he agreed to come. When she asked, he explained that the doctor said the baby in her tummy was relatively stable now, and it's good for her and the baby to go out for a walk.
Seeing that Devin and Valerie had arrived, old Sterling asked the servant to serve the food and led them to the dining room.
Dylan moved close and took Savannah's arm as soon as she stood up. Savannah looked at him in surprise. Though he took her to the Sterling's house for dinner today, he was still worried about the baby in her tummy. She felt funny. What could happen from the living room to the dining room? He didn't need to watch her in rather an exaggerated way!
"I can go myself," she whispered as she got herself free from his hold.
Dylan frowned. Didn't she know that he's just worried about her?
Old Sterling noticed their movement and laughed, "Savannah, what's troubling you? Can't you walk without Dylan?"
Savannah hurriedly took two steps ahead of Dylan and explained, "no. Dylan's just talking to me..."
"Yeah. Just talking." Dylan agreed dryly.
Savannah's eyes clouded slightly at Dylan's words. He had not told old Sterling about her pregnancy.
It seemed that he didn't plan to tell anyone before the baby arrived.
Old Sterling just joked and didn't notice the strange air between the two. He sat down first.
After the servant brought in the last dish, the table was groaning with food. "Let's get started," said old Sterling.
Savannah was really hungry now. She hadn't much of an appetite but especially liked fish recently. She picked up her fork and stretched to the nearest lemon blacken grouper in front of her, but before she could touch the fish, Valerie's soft voice stopped her,
"Devin, I want to eat that fish."
Devin quickly forked up a piece of grouper to Valerie's plate.
Valerie, however, didn't eat the fish. She was still staring at the plate of fish. "Devin, I'm fond of fish these days…"
The implication was that a piece of fish was not enough. She could eat a whole plate.
Savannah knew Valerie did it on purpose. The table was filled with food, but Valerie wanted nothing but the grouper she was about to eat. She deliberately aimed at her.
Well, she did not bother to argue with Valerie for a plate of fish.
"Grandpa, Valerie has become really fond of this kind of fish recently," Devin explained to old Sterling.
"Then serve it to her and let her eat it alone." Old Sterling didn't observe what's going on between Valerie and Savannah.
Immediately Devin brought the whole plate of grouper to Valerie.
Valerie gave Savannah an aggressive glance and then enjoyed the grouper with a satisfied smile.
Savannah was a little out of the mood, and she just ate some salad slowly.
"Make some more fish." Dylan turned and ordered the servant next to him.
The servant nodded and left for the kitchen.
Valerie wiped the smile from her face when she saw Dylan care for Savannah so much. She sank her fork into a piece of fish with spite. As long as Savannah loses the baby, Dylan won't value her anymore!
When they've just finished the meal, Savannah's phone rings.
She picked it up and saw Matt's name.
Matt rarely called her, afraid of making trouble for her. Unless… What's wrong with Olivia?
She was in a panic and answered the phone quickly, "hi, Matt. Anything wrong with Olivia?"
"The doctor said Olivia might come to her senses soon!" Matt said excitedly over the phone.
"Really?" Savannah cried with joy and surprise.
"Yes! She has not woken up yet, but the doctor said she'd recover her consciousness in one or two days."
"Good, I'll come to see her later!" Savannah hung up the phone happily.
"Savannah, what happened? What makes you so happy?" Old Sterling asked mildly.
Savannah took a deep breath and gave a significant look to Valerie, and then she replied to old Sterling, "sir, my friend, who has been in a coma for a long time, will wake up soon."
Valerie broke out in a sudden sweat, clasping her hands under the tablecloth.
What? Will Olivia wake up soon? No... How's that possible?
Devin's face turned pale, too.
"Oh, you mean your friend who got hurt in a bar? That's good." Old Sterling nodded slowly.
Savannah then looked at Dylan, "I want to go to the hospital, can I?"
Dylan's face remained impassive when he heard that Olivia would wake up soon. "It's too late. You can go tomorrow morning." He said dryly.
"Tomorrow morning? But..." Savannah wished she could sprout wings and fly there. How could she wait until tomorrow? In spite of the embarrassment in front of old Sterling, she tugged at his sleeve and said softly, "Dylan, please…"
However, Dylan was unmoved at all, "as I said, it's too late today. Olivia isn't fully awake, and you could do nothing if you go now. Let's go tomorrow."
