Chapter 1092

Reaching out, Millie brushed Marcus’ hand. His presence upon waking was a comfort.

In her dream-like remembrance, escape from her tormentors remained elusive, a haunting prospect.

The instant Millie’s fingers grazed Marcus’ hand, his eyes blinked open, jubilation dancing in their

depths.

“Millie, you’re awake.”

Indeed, she was, though a pallor clung to her complexion.

“Honey,” she breathed, her voice a soft caress.

Seating himself at her bedside, Marcus responded with a tender resonance.

“Culinary desires? Just name it, and I’ll procure it posthaste.”

She shook her head as her appetite was absent.

“How did I return? And Leon, where is he? He rescued me from that nightmare. The tormentors were a

vile lot.”

Marcus assuaged her, saying, “Leon hasn’t made an appearance here.

Fear not. Their audacity is curbed; you’re safe from their clutches.”

Millie shifted her gaze in a bid to recall the sequence of events.

Leon’s sudden appearance had been nothing short of commanding respect from all present, addressed

as Franco. Millie’s initial presumption cast Leon as the potential buyer, but the veil lifted to reveal his

actual role as the mastermind.

These reflections conjured an unsettling shiver in her hand and a cascade of complex emotions.

Marcus detected Millie’s contemplation, prompting his query.

“Lost in thought?” he inquired, his gaze locking onto hers.

Millie directed her focus toward Marcus, her eyes unwavering.

“Could Leon be a part of that organization as well?”

A pause lingered in Marcus’ response.

“Possibly, but he intervened to save you.”

The absence of Leon’s intervention would’ve cast doubt on his ability to prevent Millie’s tormentors

from exacting harm before he could intervene.

Silence enveloped Millie. Leon, once a doctor, should’ve exuded compassion, or so she believed.

Observing her surroundings, Millie discerned the absence of her phone.
