“Miss Brown, we commend your bravery in providing information. Our departure
is imminent. May your recovery be swift,” they offered before leaving.
After the police left, Marcus entered the room, a lunch box in his grasp.
Despite Millie's diminished appetite, she recognized the necessity of
nourishment.
At the sight of the lunch box, Millie's grip tightened around his hand, a pang of
guilt enveloping her. The roles had shifted from patient to caregiver; Marcus now
attended to her needs.
“Honey, I apologize for causing you worry. Is your fever gone?”
Her intention to assess his condition was met with his swift interception, his grasp
restraining her touch.
“I'm fine. Focus on eating something; it’s essential for your recovery.”
With the container opened, Marcus ladled a bowl of porridge for her.
Throughout his quest to locate her, the agony of his injury seemed nonexistent,
let alone a fever.
Millie took measured bites before settling into his embrace, the rhythm of his
steady heartbeat providing solace.
Assisting her back onto the bed, Marcus nestled beside her, enfolding her in his
arms.
“Honey, let's remain together, eternally.” Her words resonated with earnest
affection.
Amidst danger’s grip, clarity emerged — only two figures occupied her thoughts.
Her elderly grandmother and Marcus, intertwined with her deepest desires. The
prospect of parting from them was inconceivable.
Their unwavering support served as her cornerstone. Fueled by their love, she
drew strength from their presence, kindling the determination to persist without
succumbing to despair.

bloodstream?
Lowering his hand, Marcus bestowed a tender kiss upon her forehead.

In a staggered gait, she exerted every ounce of effort to reach a nearby street
tree.
Permeated by disbelief and agony, her voice trembled.
“How could this have happened? Why did this fate befall me?"
