241 Chapter 241: Never Again

Olivia's vital signs were stable beyond the critical stage, but she showed no sign of waking up.

After the phone call, Savannah was a bit depressed. She grabbed her nightgown and towel and pushed the door open.

There was no bathroom in the study, so she had to go to the bathroom in the guest room on the second floor.

Although the bathroom was for guests, the size, specifications, and comfort could match which of a five-star hotel.

The room was equipped with a luxury Jacuzzi, which had eight automatic massage heads, thermostat-controlled heat, automatic water release of negative ions and minerals.

Savannah opened the hot water faucet, watching the water slowly filling the bathtub. The bathroom was full of steam soon.

She took off her bathrobe, went into the tub, lay back, and briefly closed her eyes, relaxing in the soothing warmth.

She was completely lost in her own world that she didn't notice the door open.

Dylan came in and closed the door. It's all hot and steamy. He stopped at the bath, gazing at the little woman in hot water and foam. His eyes were hot and heated, enjoying the beauty in front of him.

It was some time before Savannah felt his burning gaze. When she opened her eyes, she saw a vague form in the steam standing beside the bath.

"Who's that!" She screamed, startled, retreating into a corner. Then she saw clearly the person in front of her, blushing. "Why are you here! I'm taking a bath!" She cried, reaching for the towel on the shelf and wrapped it around her body.

She was not only shy for being seen by him, but still annoyed because he restricted her from visiting Olivia for a few days.

"Didn't you say you felt sick? I'm coming to see how sick you are." Dylan was not embarrassed at all but took a few steps closer.

This little cat became bolder!

He said nothing when she didn't go downstairs to eat before. He knew that she deliberately avoided him, but he gave her enough time to calm down.

However, after so many days, she went even further!

She gave him the attitude over and over again!

Today again, she didn't have dinner downstairs to avoid him. He didn't bother to say anything in front of his father, but privately, he had to teach this disobedient cat a good lesson!

She said she was sick? Well, he came to see what's wrong with her for himself!

She could even feel the heat of his body above the steam. "Don't come, I'm much better now..." she murmured as she curled herself up in the corner.

In reply, he reached over and pulled her out of the bath.

"Better? Aren't you too ill to go downstairs to eat? How could you get better so soon?" He said sarcastically as he caressed her naked skin as if to check where it was wrong.

Savannah bit her lower lip, and her body writhed slightly under his touch, "really... Let me go... Dylan..."

"Are you better or not ill at all?" His hand flexed over her backside and squeezed gently. He was going to make her stop lying or being difficult with him!

Savannah shut up and did not speak.

Seeing her silence, he smiled a slow, lazy, wicked smile. He had a lot of ways to make her submission. His hands smoothed and shaped each of her buttocks, then his fingers glided down to her sexy…

Finally, she couldn't stand it, "I'm not sick, I'm not sick, okay?!"

"You mean you're cheating?" Dylan asked coldly.

She bit her lip and denied nothing.

"Dare you again?" His hand went up to her chin, tipping her head back, and his tone was stern.

"No, I dare not..." Savannah muttered, but she was not convinced.

"And pretend to be ill?!"

"Never again..."

"Should you go downstairs to dinner every day?"

"Yes…"

Dylan knew she didn't really mean it, but he was already satisfied. After bringing her to a good girl again, he released his hands.

Savannah was slightly relieved and immediately took two steps back for the towel. Maybe it was because she didn't eat dinner or something, a fit of dizziness came to her suddenly, and she slipped into the water. She choked and began to cough!

Dylan reacted quickly, pulling her up into his arms and frowning, "what's up?"

"Nothing!" She steadied herself and pushed him away. She hadn't made up with him yet, and she couldn't let him take advantage of her now.

"You seem to be in this state frequently these days. Really nothing?" He frowned as he gazed at her.

This happened to her several times. He thought she had affected illness before.

But she felt dizzy and sick again today. This time, he thought she was not faking it.

"Maybe I've stayed in the bathroom for a long time and got a little dizzy from the steam. Just get out of here and let me wash up quickly." She said, pushing him outside.

"I'll tell Cooper to call Dr. Joe," Dylan said as he was pushed out by her wet warm hands.

She looked at him through the steam, a little moved, but then she restrained herself. Why should she be touched by his concern? He just didn't want his pet to get sick. He would be worried even if she's a dog or a cat.

He knew exactly what she wanted to do now, but he wouldn't let her do it!

After a pause, she said bravely, "no. I wish you'd let me see Olivia more than see a doctor, and let me keep investigating Olivia's case."

Then she waited for his answer.

She hoped that after all these days, his attitude had softened.

However, two seconds later, he opened his mouth, "No."

Grumbling anger swelled her bosom. With clenched teeth, she banged the bathroom door closed and locked it!

***

A few days later, Devin and Valerie came to the Sterling's house again. When they were eating, Devin and Valerie said that they wanted to spend the weekend with grandpa.

Old Sterling welcomed the couple, of course. Since Susan was sent to a mental nursing home, and his son-in-law Henley left, he was quite lonely and starved for companionship.

He felt so good to see more people in the family. His eyes were brighter, and his attitude toward Valerie became better and better when he saw her growing belly each time she visited.

In the face of the Sterlings' precious fourth generation, nothing was unforgivable.

If Valerie could safely deliver his great-grandson for the Sterlings, her contribution to the family was enough to offset any mistakes she might have made.

When Savannah learned that Devin and Valerie would spend the weekend at the Sterling's house, she asked to return to Beverly Hills first.
