Chapter 278 Mr. Vanderbilt, I Admire Adeline
No young girl wanted to grow up too fast and take on adult responsibilities. It was always due to life's pressures.
Their Savannah should have been pampered and loved like a little princess.
Instead, she was now running around treating people to make a living.
She was targeted again by that human trafficker and taken back to the mountains!
Alexander's hand trembled even more, and he almost fell due to a moment of inattention.
Fortunately, Adeline was quick to react and supported him.
After checking his body, she frowned. "Did someone change the prescription I gave you?"
"No." Alexander coughed heavily.
Terry and Nathan looked worried.
Adeline immediately gave him a medicinal candy, speaking slowly, "Did you get caught in the rain on your way here?"
Alexander caught his breath and nodded.
"Your lungs have significant noise," Adeline said. "In the future, don't rush into things, and definitely don't get wet in the rain. You've just found me; you can't just leave me alone. I'm still young and need your support."
She didn't need anyone's support.
She said it just to put Alexander at ease.
Terry, who had followed along, couldn't help but glance at Savannah upon hearing this.
He had always heard Nathan talk about how good Adeline was at dealing with people.
Seeing it firsthand, he finally understood what it meant to be comfortable.
She wasn't sweet-talking with an agenda, just trying to make Alexander happy.
Alexander's face first showed a moment of surprise, then he broke into a wide smile. "How could I not take care of my dear granddaughter? Savannah, don't worry. I've saved a lot of treasures for you. When you come back, they're all yours. Your brothers won't get any!"
"Then you should take care of your health first," Adeline said. "Follow the doctor's orders, take your medicine, and don't get angry."
Alexander laughed heartily. "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. I'll take my medicine on time and won't get angry."
With Savannah by his side, not to mention taking those bitter medicines, even occasionally show some concern to those rascals at home wouldn't be impossible.
They almost forgot about Charles from the Livingston family.
"What are you doing with Savannah?" Alexander looked over. "Didn't you say you didn't want this engagement?"
Just as well, Savannah was found, and he didn't want her to get married off so quickly.
Their Savannah was so beautiful, with such excellent medical skills, how could she lack boyfriends?
Moreover, they should ask what kind of person Savannah liked.
Although Charles was indeed outstanding, unmatched in all of Zelphoria.
But many liked Charles, and he might become arrogant.
Someone who didn't like Savannah should be eliminated in the first round.
Savannah should find someone who cherished her!
Right now, Alexander's mind was full of Savannah.
So far, he believed no man in the world was worthy of their Savannah.
For the first time in his life, Charles experienced what it meant to be at a loss.
He now regretted saying he wanted to break off the engagement!
However, Charles was always strategic.
This was known throughout Zelphoria's upper society.
Soon, he let out a low laugh, his gaze meeting Adeline's, his voice deep and magnetic. "After all this, I'm still yours."
"What do you mean?" Alexander frowned.
Charles explained, "Mr. Vanderbilt, you should know I've always been fond of Adeline."
Alexander thought, 'I had sensed this, but he hadn't mentioned it!'
"No wonder Mr. Green said I should arrange an engagement with Ms. Vanderbilt from the Vanderbilt family." Charles smiled elegantly. "Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. Green predicted that I would fall for Adeline."
