Chapter 603

This was marvelous! Grandma was finally saved! Going through such a perilous explosion was worth it.

In that moment, Derek’s phone rang urgently. It was a call from the judicial department, and the news

on the other end of the line left him stunned.

“The woman found in the wreckage, following the investigation, isn’t Millie but another female victim of

an unrelated murder case.”

Derek hung up the phone in disbelief, and Marcus suddenly lost his composure and bellowed, “Millie,

why didn’t you return earlier when you were still alive?”

Did she comprehend the depth of his regret? He lamented driving her away and his lack of trust in her.

He felt as if he had been torn apart, rendering him powerless.

Millie was taken aback by the sudden outburst. In the final moments, she cut the bomb’s rope and

leaped into the large lake behind the building. The massive explosion disoriented her mind. After falling

into the lake, she was swept downstream to a shallower bank. She barely managed to survive. Upon

regaining consciousness, she immediately embarked on her journey back.

She was on the brink of exhaustion.

Glancing into the adjacent ward, she spotted her grandmother lying there. Joy surged within Millie, and

she was about to rush in.

However, she was abruptly pulled into Marcus’ embrace.

“Millie, you’re truly back!”

Before everyone’s eyes, Marcus clung to her tightly, disregarding her disheveled appearance and

gazing at her with fervent intensity.

It was as if he feared she might vanish from sight once more.

The genuine sensation at her waist assured him that this wasn’t a dream; Millie had indeed returned.

The feeling of desolation he experienced when he opened his eyes suddenly and found no trace of

Millie was something he never wished to undergo again.

Millie struggled within his tight hold, bewildered. “Let me go; I need to see my grandma.”

After her return, her primary concern was checking on her grandmother’s condition.

However, with their close proximity, she pondered Marcus’ intent. She vividly recalled him standing high

on the steps, gazing down at her amidst the rain-soaked chaos.

Shouldn’t he have despised her to the point of wanting her demise? So why was he embracing her

now? Had he lost his mind?

Confronted with Millie’s discontented expression, Marcus slowly released her and softly advised, “Go

see your grandmother.”

She had endured numerous injuries. Luckily, she had made it back.

Just as Marcus let go of Millie, Lois exclaimed, “Millie, you’re really alive! This is incredible!”

At the sight of Millie’s appearance, Lois was so astonished that she almost fainted.
