Chapter 852

She was so exhausted and didn’t think she was going to escape him. She was really Lucky that Patrick

showed up when he did.

“Why did that man want to kill you?” Millie shook her head. “I don’t know.” She was asking herself who

sent him here. He was just a hit man. The only name that came to her mind as she thought of this was

Rhea.

Patrick stared at her beautiful face. Its redness and her bright eyes made her look more attractive.

“So, which way do we go now?” Patrick asked, looked around at the wild surface of dry grass.

Millie Looked around too and started walking ahead, saying, “Let’s head for the highway. From there,

we can catch a ride. It’s a really long way on foot.”

After they had walked some distance in silence, Patrick turned and asked curiously your hometown?”

“How have you been doing? Why are you going back to

He was also wondering why Marcus didn’t come with her. She almost died back there.

Millie picked up a weed and played with it between her fingers, a smile playing on her Lips.

“I’m doing well. I just want to see the old house.”

Patrick pursed his lips, wondering if he should be happy for her.

It seemed that she was getting along quite well with Marcus.

When he saw her in the bus earlier, he was so happy.

Millie looked back, noticing that Patrick had stopped. “Hurry up, or we won’t make it before it gets dark!”

She waved him over with a smile. “Okay.”” He quickened his steps.

A few seconds later, Millie’s phone rang. Seeing Marcus’ name on the screen of her phone, her face lit

up.

“I’ve been so busy with work all morning and my phone was muted. Why didn’t you tell me you were

going to the countryside earlier on?”

Marcus’ voice came from the other side. He was worried that she went there alone.

He only found out she went because Derek found her note at home when he went to get Marcus’

notebook.

I’m already on my way. It was actually a spontaneous decision. Since I don’t have much to do lately, I

just acted on it.” Millie walked forward as she spoke on the phone.

“Okay then. Well, how did you go?” Marcus asked with concern. He still wished she had told him. He

could have taken a day off to go with her had she asked. If it wasn’t possible, he would have asked

someone to drive her there.

“By bus,” she answered plainly, deliberately leaving out the detail of her being attacked. She didn’t want

him to start worrying about her. Besides, she had gotten rid of the hit man and was safe now.

She could hear people whispering on the background of Marcus’ side. She also heard Derek call him.

He had to be busy.
