Chapter: 653

Millie, her face slightly flushed, struggled to maintain her composure as she tended to his wound.

Millie carefully unwrapped the bandage, revealing the wound which was severe and covered in blood.

The sight made her hold her breath; she could only imagine how painful it must be.

“It looks really bad. You should consider going to the hospital,” Millie suggested while disinfecting the

wound.

“It’s alright. With this medicine, it should heal in a few days,” Marcus replied as he took the medicine

from her.

Although Millie attempted to persuade him, his stubbomness remained unchanged.

After applying the medicine to the wound, Millie cleaned up the discarded materials and disposed of

them.

When she came downstairs to throw away the trash, she encountered Leon, who was smoking under a

tree. He noticed her presence.

Curious, he asked, “Why don’t you stay in the villa and instead choose to live in this small apartment?”

Millie glanced at the cigarette in his hand and replied, “It’s more convenient to take care of my grandma

here.”

After a moment, she continued, “Are you really going to give up on Miss Rayne for Fiona?”

Millie felt that Leon’s decision was questionable.

In response, Leon sneered, “So you also look down on her? Don’t forget, you’re not of noble birth

either. She’s left with nothing now. Just like you had nothing before entering the Thomas family, except

for your grandmother.”

Startled by his aggression, Millie found herself apologizing, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.”

Walking away, Millie’s back was observed by Leon. He felt an odd sense of familiarity. What was

happening to him? Strangely, he had dreamed of Millie the night before.

“Millie.”

Millie glanced back, her eyes filled with a flicker of bewilderment.

Even Leon found himself briefly perplexed, questioning his own motivation for summoning her. It was

as if he had obeyed an impulse from within, letting the words spill out.

“Is something wrong?” Millie inquired without hesitation, noticing Leon’s continued silence.

“Fiona’s feeling of stability is fragile. Let’s not cause any disruptions for her,” Leon advised.

Millie hesitated for a few moments. Was this intended as a reminder or a caution?

Yet the idea of needlessly causing trouble for Fiona seemed perplexing.
