Chapter 894

“Millie, what brings you here? Trying to play the benevolent one?” Laurel, who was present, sneered at

Millie’s arrival.

Roland shot Laurel a sharp glare.

“Laurel, you can leave now.”

Noticing that Roland was siding with Millie, Laurel stopped peeling her apple and slammed it onto the

table.

“Roland, how can you treat me this way? I know you got hurt saving Millie. Why bother being nice to

her now that she’s married? I wish she were gone.”

“Enough! What I do is my business, not yours!”

Roland’s voice rose as he scolded, frustration evident in his tone. His sister knew he was fond of Millie,

but maliciously harmed Millie with a poison bug. Ever since that incident, his feelings toward Laurel had

cooled.

Additionally, upon her return, Laurel’s behavior became demanding and unbearable; she expected to

be treated like royalty by the entire family.

As Roland berated her, tears welled in Laurel’s eyes, Driven by his concern for Millie, he sent Laurel

away. If not for their shared past, she wouldn’t have paid then a visit in this backward village.

“Okay, fine; I will leave you alone.” Gathering her bag, Laurel hurried out of the room.

Exiting the room, she spotted Marcus waiting at the door for Millie. Intimidated by his imposing

presence, she quickly fled.

Back in the room, Roland glanced at Millie with regret in his eyes.

“I apologize for her impulsiveness earlier. Don’t take it personally,” he said, before noticing the fruit in

Millie’s hand.

“You didn’t need to buy that; I’m not a fan of fruit. Save your money next time you visit.”

Millie smiled, placing the fruit on the table.

“Are you feeling any better?”

“Much better; it doesn’t hurt a bit. I’d leave the hospital now if the doctors would let me,” Roland replied

with confidence.

“Don’t be in a hurry; stay a few more days to ensure a full recovery.” “Why would someone want to kill

you?” he asked, concern in his eyes,

Millie shrugged, dismissing his worries.

“It’s a complicated tale, but there’s no need to fret. He won’t be coming back.

That was reassuring, yet Roland couldn’t shake his concern. A thought crossed his mind that a man

should never engage in violence against a woman.

Millie glanced toward the door, aware that she couldn’t keep Marcus waiting, “I’LL be leaving tomorrow,

Take care, and I’ll see you when I return.”

The news that Millie was departing soon caused Roland’s eyes to dim with disappointment.

He had been harboring feelings for her, and though he knew pursuing her was futile, he couldn’t help

feeling downcast.
