Chapter 141
Chapter: 141
Millie’s physical strength waned, unable to sustain the burden of Marcus any
longer, while their pursuers remained only a comer away from catching up.
“Disregard me, and make your escape swiftly,” Marcus anxiously urged.
His uncle, Brock Thomas, possessed a cunning and treacherous nature,
someone who wouldn't hesitate to inflict harm upon even his own nephew. If
Millie were captured, she could potentially become a pawn, threatening Marcus
and subjecting her to unspeakable torture.
And now, there was only one thought dominating Marcus’ mind—never would he
allow anyone to bring harm upon Millie.
Millie swiftly surveyed their surroundings and guided Marcus to conceal
themselves in the stairwell.
“I explicitly told you to leave; did my words not reach your ears?” Marcus, leaning
against the wall, growled with bloodshot eyes.
In this very moment, even this forceful exclamation was mustered with the last
vestiges of strength within his weary body, for he was tightly ensnared by the
clutches of the medication’s effects.
After being scolded by Marcus, Millie glared at him with intensity. Yet she was not
naive and recognized that he feared for her safety, deliberately urging her to
depart.
The sound of approaching footsteps weighed heavily on the hearts of the two,
causing Millie to freeze in place.
Suddenly, Marcus chuckled and spoke in a husky voice. “Millie, could it be that
you've fallen in love with me? Your reluctance to part ways—do you wish to stay
by my side and endure the blows intended for me?”
Flirtation filled Marcus’ eyes.
Disregarding Marcus’ teasing words, Millie swiftly took off his suit jacket and
draped it upon herself, not uttering a word. Then, with nimble movements, she
kicked off her own shoes and removed Marcus’ leather shoes, slipping her feet
into them.
Millie's peculiar actions caused Marcus’ pupils to constrict.
“What are you doing?” he exclaimed.
“I will go and divert their attention while you seek a means of rescue,” Millie
replied resolutely. She retrieved a baseball cap from a nearby trash bin and
placed it on her head.
“No!” Marcus demanded.
“Millie, how dare you! Cease this instant!”

Despite his protests, Millie forged
ahead. As she dashed out of the
stairwell, Marcus attempted to reach
out and grab hold of her, only to
grasp at empty air. He watched her
slender figure vanish into the
distance, and a knot tightened within
his chest. The content is on
