Chapter 1021

Their unexpected presence made Millie shudder.

As Marcus descended the stairs, Millie’s eyes followed him, her feigned resolve dissolving.

Approaching her, Marcus reached out to grasp Millie’s hand.

“How did you find this place?”

He and Mavis had witnessed the altercation between Millie and Mavis from upstairs.

Had it not been for what had just occurred, he would never have realized that Millie was willing to risk

her life for him.

Now he understood how deeply Millie loved him.

Chilled to the bone, Millie shot a cold look at both Mavis and Marcus, then turned and fled.

As she dashed out, the rain began to pour down heavily.

She would never forgive Marcus. Ever.

He could have told her that he no longer loved her, but he should never have deceived her.

“Millie.”

Marcus was stunned, realizing that Millie had misconstrued the situation, believing he was involved

with the woman beside him.

Mavis, equally baffled, gazed timidly at Marcus, inquiring, “Is she here for you? I assumed she was

here for Harlan.”

Marcus raced to follow Millie. The rain was relentless, and it was perilous for her to be out in such

conditions.

Behind him, the doctor fretted. He had just administered medicine to Marcus’ wound. Exposure to the

rain could exacerbate the injury.

Millie cursed Marcus internally as she ran wildly.

Unfortunately, she lost her footing and tumbled into the rain-soaked ground.

Rising to her feet, she looked around in the downpour. She had arrived by taxi, and now the rain was

so heavy that no taxis were in sight.

Brushing the rain from her face, she made her way to a large tree, wrapping her arms around herself

as she sought shelter from the deluge.

“It’s so cold.”

She felt cold, both physically and emotionally.

She vowed never to trust men again. They were all deceivers.

The rain washed over her pale face, chilling her to the core.
