Chapter 807

“Honey, could you please find out who hurt Fiona?” Millie asked, closing the magazine.

At this, Marcus’ expression underwent an instant transformation.

But Millie didn’t notice Marcus’ reaction and continued, “I believe that person is very cautious. He has

erased all the traces, but I’m confident you can uncover who he is.”

“Why do you want to know about this person?”

“Because everything feels so chaotic. I’m starting to think that I’ve lost some of my memories, and it’s

as though there’s someone out there who Looks just like me. I get the sense that if I want to make

sense of it all, I need to find the person connected to Fiona who might have the answers.”

Millie turned and was startled to find Marcus’ face had turned an ugly shade of green, veins bulging at

the back of his hand.

She was taken aback.

“Honey, is everything okay?”

Marcus’ voice was frigid as he said, “If it turns out that you have lost your memory, and Leon is the one

Looking for you, would you Leave me? Would you be with him and recall your happy past?”

“I Even if she were the one Leon was searching for, leaving Marcus for him was out of the question.

There were many things in life to regret, but what was in the past had to remain there.

“Millie stammered, unable to find the words.

She just wanted to uncover the truth. The air in the room grew heavy and uncomfortable due to their

conversation.

As she lay in bed later, Millie clutched the necklace in her hand, feeling its chill. She was aware that

Marcus wasn’t asleep.

“What’s in the past is in the past. I just want to know the truth,” she muttered.

Marcus remained silent. Millie’s lips pressed into a thin line, her fists clenched in frustration.

An uncomfortable tension hung in the air, a palpable result of the lingering awkwardness. Millie sensed

the undercurrent of Marcus” anger, anticipating that a restful night’s sleep might elude her.

On the following day, Marcus’ frustration still held sway. Millie settled on the sofa, sipping her milk in a

sullen manner. She attempted to mend things by offering him a glass of milk, but he declined it without

a sip.

Millie eventually stepped out. As Marcus paused in his task of tying his tie, his gaze lingered on the

closed door.

His continued agitation stemmed from his fear that Millie would seek solace in Leon’s company if she

were privy to the truth.

He couldn’t shake off his insecurity, pondering the erosion of his self-confidence and his actions driven

by a feeling of cowardice.

Millie took a day off from school, choosing instead to visit the hospital. Uncertainty about her memory

gnawed at her, prompting her to undergo an examination.

“Are you here to visit grandma?” Lois’ voice interrupted Millie’s thoughts as she registered at the front

desk.
