Chapter 145 Jonathan and Milly Are Having a Secret Affair?
#Finished
Under Stephanieâs incredulous gaze, Jonathan hobbled forward to reach Milly. It took a lot of effort to restrain the joy in his heart.
It was wonderful that his sister was alive, standing right before him.
Itâs truly wonderful!
He wanted to call her as his sister but remembered her insistence on making her way in the entertainment industry, he swallowed the words back down.
âMilly, Milly⦠huhuhuhuâ¦.
All his emotions melted away in that instant. The immense joy of seeing her alive overwhelmed him, causing him to collapse to the ground in tears.
âHuhu. Milly, this is so great! Huhuhuhu I felt scared to death! I thought⦠I thought you were⦠Iâm so glad to see you. Thank goodness this isnât a dream. Huwaaa, Millyâ¦
Huwaaa,
Milly watched in stunned silence as her brother sobbed uncontrollably, clutching her leg. She didnât know how to react.
âMr. Jonathan, are you alright?â
Itâs okay if she said nothing because her question only made him cry harder. In the end, his sobs had turned into hiccups.
âHic⦠donât worry about me⦠I just⦠hic, got overwhelmed⦠Huaaa, I canât help it!
Milly was speechless.
You canât keep crying like this while hugging my leg
The onlookers, who hadnât yet dispersed, began to murmur among themselves.
They started to give the two a weird gaze.
âIsnât that Jonathan Burnett, the fifth young master of the Burnetts? Whatâs his relationship with Milly?â
âBoth their surnames are Burnett. Maybe sheâs his sister?â
âStop talking nonsense. The Burnetts have only one daughter, Stephanie. Sheâs got nothing to do with Milly.â
âBurnett is a common surname. And look at themâno way theyâre siblings. Who cries like that while holding a siblingâs leg? They must be a couple.â
âYeah, makes sense. Heâs torn up. Look how hard heâs cryingâ
Milly stayed silent.
As the crowd grew larger and the speculation wilder, Milly bent down to help Jonathan up. âMr. Jonathan, you better get up and talk. This⦠isnât good for your image.â

Jonathan snorted; his eyes still brimming with tears. He looked at her with a childlike honesty. âItâs okay. I need a moment. My legs are a little weak.â
Milly couldnât say anything.
In the end, it was Joy who helped Jonathan to sit on a nearby sofa.
However, like a kid who refused to be left alone, he clung desperately to Millyâs sleeve, not allowing her to move an inch away. He patted the space next to him. âMilly, sit here.â
His face was full of hope, and his big eyes flickered with expectation.
It was a single sofa. Although it was a slightly wider one and they werenât overweight, they could sit down, but it was a bit cramped.
However, given the circle of gossiping onlookers around them, sitting so close would only spark further
rumours.
Milly let out a sigh. âItâs okay. Iâll sit over here.â
Hearing her words, Jonathanâs eyes reddened again. He looked like a puppy about to cry, full of grievance. âMilly, do you hate me or something?â
Milly shook her head.
Why would I hate him for no reason?
âThen why wonât you sit beside me? You must hate me!â
Milly explained honestly. âItâs a single sofa. Itâll be a bit tight.â
Jonathanâs eyes lit up. âIt wonât be tight at all. Iâll scoot over. Really, it wonât be tight. Just try it.â
After saying that, he curled up desperately, trying to make as much space as possible.
Afterwards, he rubbed his hands eagerly with hopeful eyes. His eyes, which had just cried, were now free of any wariness.
Milly suddenly felt a headache.
Did he fall and hit his head instead of hurting his legs?
She inexplicably began to miss the more independent Jonathan.
âThereâs no need. Iâll sit over hereâ¦.
Before she could finish her words, Jonathanâs eyes reddened again. He pouted with a look of grievance. ready to burst into tears at any moment if she didnât comply.
Milly thought for a while before sighing
Leaving with no other option, Milly reluctantly settled on the other side of the sofa..
Jonathan immediately beamed, his grin stretching from ear to ear. âHehehe, I knew Milly is the best, the very best in the world

If he had a tail, it would wag like a propeller.
Milly said, âThanks, but I donât deserve it.â

Suddenly, a thought struck her. She looked at Jonathanâs leg and asked, âDidnât you say you fell on your leg? I saw you limping earlier.â
Jonathan shrugged it off. âOh, itâs okay. I didnât hurt my leg. I just banged it a bit when I jumped out the window. Itâs not a big deal.â
Jumped out the window?â Milly asked perplexedly.
Jonathan grinned sheepishly and explained, âI wanted to see you, but the nurses were stopping me. So, when they werenât looking, I climbed out the window and ran away. What do you think? Super smart, huh?â
He spoke with a proud look, clearly expecting praise.
Millyâs anxiety spiked. âYouâre risking your life! If the doctors didnât want to let you out, you shouldnât have sneaked out. What if your condition worsens? You need a full body check after a fall like that. You canât just fool around like this. So hurry back.â
Her voice rose a few notches in her urgency.
Jonathan, now looking as if he were a scolded child, fiddled with his fingers. For a moment, the tall, imposing man seemed utterly lost.
âDonât be mad, Milly. I just wanted to see you. Besides, I know my body well. Iâm fineâ¦â
Milly squinted her eyes at him.
Jonathan shrank back a bit but stubbornly continued, âReally, Iâm okay. Do you want me to do a couple of backflips to prove it?â
His attempt at reassurance only made her angrier; her expression grew colder.
Jonathan gulped, hurriedly adding, âI swear! Donât worry, Iâll go back right after this. I really will! I swear on Oliverâs life!â
Milly sighed again, exasperated.
The last time she was also left speechless like this.
Meanwhile, Stephanie, having lost face over the bracelet incident, had hoped Jonathanâs arrival would help her regain some dignity. However, seeing him ignore her and getting closer to Milly felt like a direct insult
to her.
How can I bear this humiliation?
