Chapter: 144
Seconds later, Marcus approached her and placed a hand on her shoulder to
calm her down. “Don’t worry,” he said firmly. “I'm here to save you.”
When he got no response, Marcus gently called, “Millie?”
Finally, the familiar voice registered in Millie's brain. It was Marcus.
Millie lifted her head slowly and found Marcus standing before her, real and alive.
Atear rolled down her cheek as she asked, “Are you also dead?”
Her question left Marcus speechless for a moment.
“That's too bad.” Millie sobbed as her eyes welled up with tears. The image of the
knife being so close to her stomach still haunted her, making it feel like she could
not breathe.
It was the first time Marcus had ever seen Millie cry, and as he watched the tears
fall from her eyes, he felt an invisible hand squeeze his heart. The woman, who
was usually so lively, was crying her heart out right now. She looked vulnerable
and in need of comfort.
Marcus did not know what to do to ease her anxiety. He felt like he had failed to
protect her as he watched her cry.
“It's all right,” he said softly as he wiped away her tears. “Derek stepped in and
stopped him before that bastard could stab you. You're still alive.”
“T... 'm not dead yet? Really?”
Millie looked up at Marcus with wide eyes.
The man nodded.
A few seconds later, Millie sprung to her feet, suddenly full of pep.
Marcus stood up as well. Then, Millie threw herself into his arms and wrapped
hers around his neck.
“I'm not dead! Oh, thank goodness!”
Millie hugged Marcus closer, sharing her relief with him at having made it through
the ordeal.
