“Ulterior motives again? He always thought I have ulterior motives,” she mused.
Savannah initially had anger building up inside her. However, the moment she heard Channing’s remarks, she suddenly felt like a deflated balloon.
She found herself ridiculous.
With a faint sigh, she lowered her gaze. She no longer had the strength to argue. “Mr. Muir, I said my clothes. are dirty. It’s not that I’m blaming Ms. Guthrie for provoking chaos. It’s just that I fell and dirtied my clothes.”
“Oh, so you’re injured?”
Channing looked at Savannah and asked, “How did you get out of that situation?”
“It’s Edgar, Mr. Yates,” Savannah replied. “At a critical moment, he helped me out. Then, the manager of Elegance Club also arrived with his men.”
“Edgar Yates?”
Channing suddenly reached out and pinched Savannah’s delicate back neck, forcing her to raise her head. “Edgar has a woman by his side. So, why did he come to protect you?”
“I don’t know.” Savannah pursed her lips due to the pain. She couldn’t understand why Channing got angry. “Maybe because we grew up together since childhood, there might still be a trace of kindness in his heart for me. After all, you should understand the friendship that comes from companionship, Mr. Muir.”
Wasn’t Channing’s affection and tenderness toward Winona a result of their companionship during the earthquake, causing him to cherish her like a precious gem ever since?
Although Edgar was far less deeply attached to Savannah, he even contemplated killing her.
However, surely there would be something in common between friendship and love.
Channing slowly narrowed his eyes, and after a long while, he slowly released his grip on Savannah’s neck. He then looked at her with a smile. “Since you believe Edgar has some kindness left for you, continue to think that way. In any case, I’ll repeat it. Until our contract ends, don’t get entangled with messy people, understood?”
“Got it.” Savannah nodded.
Channing said, “By the way, what was the heartfelt thing you were supposed to tell me at Elegance Club?”
“Nothing” Savannah was a little tired. Every breath of her felt like she was gasping for air. “I’m sorry, Mr. Muir. I can’t remember anything about it now.”
She had just learned that the baby might be a girl today and wanted to tell Chauming the news about her pregnancy, making one last struggle and effort.

But after seeing Channing protect Winona and leave without looking back, Savannah wanted to give up.
Channing wouldn’t become the kind of good father who would spoil his daughter as some people did online.
In this world, he would only bow down to Winona.
So tomorrow, taking advantage of her last day off before going back to work, she would go to the hospital to get the operation.
Listening to Savannah’s words, Channing didn’t ask more questions.
He sat back on the couch and said lightly, “I understand. Go take a shower, and if you feel uncomfortable, apply some medication yourself. Can you do that?”
“Okay.”
Savannah nodded again and then went upstairs.
It was not until the sound of her footsteps disappeared that Channing took out his phone and called Lucas.
“Go to the hospital tomorrow, and get all the recent medical examination reports of all employees in the company. Find Savannah’s report, and bring it to me.”
“Okay, Mr. Muir!” Lucas answered subconsciously, and when he returned to his senses, he asked in a low voice, “But Mr. Muir, why do you suddenly want to see Savannah’s medical examination report? Is she not feeling well?”
“No, but it’s possible that…”
Due to his keen observation, he kept telling Channing that Savannah was hiding something.
He vaguely knew something but hoped that Savannah wouldn’t keep it a secret.
