Chapter: 140

This establishment served as a gathering place for individuals from varied backgrounds, encompassing both honor and deceit.

Influential figures frequented this venue, rendering Millie, an innocent and naive soul, susceptible to exploitation or harm from the

cunning inhabitants.

The women who frequented this establishment all shared a common motive—to seek prosperous companions. Consequently,

Millie’s presence perplexed Marcus.

Did she also harbor intentions of securing a benefactor?

What was more, while the relentless pursuers drew nearer, Marcus experienced an inexplicable longing and an overpowering

urge to safeguard Millie with his entire being. He ached to envelop her in the depths of his existence, shielding her from any

lurking peril.

Here he stood, once again displaying his fierce nature toward her! Anger growing,

Millie swiftly seized Marcus’ hand from her waist, determined to get straight to the point.

“Who are those individuals, and why are they relentlessly pursuing you?”

“You needn’t concern yourself with that. If you wish to evade capture, you must depart immediately,” Marcus responded.

Millie and Marcus exchanged glances.

“But you can’t leave,” Millie insisted.

“Pay me no mind. Just go,” Marcus urged, relinquishing his grip on Millie and gently pushing her away.

‘The sound of approaching footsteps grew increasingly nearer.

Though Millie wasn’t privy to the exact details of their predicament, she could sense that a sizable group of people was hunting

them down.

If apprehended, the danger that loomed was all too evident.

Determinedly, Millie stepped forward, providing support to Marcus to keep moving ahead. She couldn't simply stand idly by,

watching someone face such a perilous situation without offering aid.

“Which direction should we take?” Millie anxiously inquired as they arrived at a fork in the road. The environment around them

was like a labyrinth maze.

“Tum left; at every intersection, tur left.”

Never had it crossed Marcus’ mind that in this dire moment, Millie not only abstained from escaping on her own but chose to

accompany him.

Wasn't this woman typically devoid of compassion for him?

Millie bolstered Marcus and swiftly veered to the left.

However, after traversing two intersections, the effects of the medication on Marcus reached their zenith.

His limbs grew feeble and numb, and the majority of his weight bore down on Millie’s delicate shoulders.
