Chapter: 145
Derek, who was mostly occupied with getting rid of the thugs, glanced in Marcus’
direction and was taken aback by what he saw.
Millie was hugging Marcus.
Millie's arm gently brushed against Marcus’ neck, teasing him gently with its soft
skin. However, when he spotted Derek's stunned expression, he let out a cough.
The sound of it snapped Millie's attention back to the present. She slightly pulled
away from Marcus and met his eyes. After realizing how inappropriately she was
behaving, she quickly removed her arms from around him and backed away
completely.
“Sorry, I got a little too giddy. I was sure I was going to die, but I didn’t want to
because I still had to take care of my grandmother,” Millie explained.
Marcus was quiet for a full minute. The woman looked adorable as she frantically
explained her behavior to him.
It was also incredible that she fought to survive because she wanted to continue
caring for her grandmother.
“Get in the car first.” Marcus brought a fist up to his mouth and cleared his throat.
Millie nodded, but she nearly fell over when she took a step forward. Only then
did she learn that her knee was injured.
She was so happy to be alive that it took her a while to realize she was hurt.
She would have hit the ground hard had Marcus not caught her. Millie's face
flushed. She looked down at her injured knee and pondered how she would
proceed.
Suddenly, she felt herself being lifted off the ground by a pair of muscular arms.
Instinctively, she flung hers around Marcus’ neck to prevent herself from falling.
Millie's heart nearly leaped out of her chest as she peered at the man’s profile in
disbelief.
Marcus carried Millie to the car without uttering a word.
Derek's mouth dropped open in shock. His superior's face showed no emotion as
he carried his wife, but his hold on her was firm and steady.
When Marcus and Millie reached the car, he bent over to load her into the back
seat.

Taking a deep breath, Millie finally questioned, “How did you escape?”
