Chapter 669

Leon quickly said, “I’ll get some ice for you.” He then retrieved some ice cubes from the fridge and

wrapped them in a piece of cloth.

Fiona raised the ice pack on her cheek before stating, “Your mother doesn’t seem to like me very

much. I should go.”

Leon reassured, “Don’t be scared. I’m here with you.”

He had been looking for her all his life. There was no way he would let her go now.

Later that day, Millie made another trip to the hospital. When she returned home, the lights in the

bedroom were off. It seemed that Marcus had not come back yet.

She checked the time and noted that he should be home soon.

With that in mind, she decided to wait for him outside. She paced back and forth under the streetlight to

kill time, casting a long shadow behind her as she went.

She halted when she heard someone cough.

Leon, who was standing not too far away, was examining her from head to toe.

He asked, “What are you doing outside?”

He just came out of Fiona’s room. Millie cleared her throat.

She answered, “I’m waiting for someone.”

Leon raised a brow. “You’re waiting for Marcus?”

Millie grudgingly nodded, not really wanting to admit it.

Something gleamed in Leon’s eyes, causing Millie to avert her gaze.

It was clear that he and Fiona were getting along well. He had completely disregarded Millie’s warning.

It was not that Leon did not take her words seriously. It was just that he had more faith in Fiona’s

words.

When in love, most people act like complete idiots. Leon was no fool, but that must have changed

when he found the person he loved.

Millie continued to have doubts about Fiona’s unexpected appearance in Leon’s life, though.

After a while of silence, she inquired, “Is Fiona’s face the only reason you recognized her?”

Leon pondered the question for a moment. He did, in fact, recognize Fiona by her face.

He was about to respond when he suddenly heard Fiona’s voice. “What are you doing here? There’s

no milk in the fridge. I’m planning to get some.”
