Chapter: 473
Sometimes, she got away with injuries, but she always avoided death, and that
was more than enough.
She had practiced her ability to deal with danger throughout her life.
She never considered herself someone’s weakness, preferring instead to serve
as a shield for others around her.
Millie was about to lower her arm, but Marcus grabbed her wrist. His sombre
expression had hardened into a scowl.
He felt a searing pain in his heart at Millie’s declaration of strength and resilience.
He could not help but wonder just how much suffering she had endured that she
could recount her own difficulties so dispassionately as if she were reciting
someone else’s story.
Millie glanced at Marcus’ hand that was holding her before looking up at him.
“What are you doing?”
Marcus met her bright eyes.
“What if somebody took you hostage and tried to blackmail me with you? Do you
think I'll come to save me?”
Marcus suggested a possible scenario, but one he would prefer not to occur.
“If 1 were to be kidnapped, I wouldn't make things difficult for you. If I couldn't
save myself, I'd just take my own life so that you don’t have to risk your own,”
Millie stated firmly after pondering the question for a while.
She refused to put anyone else in danger to ensure her own survival.
After hearing Millie’s reply, Marcus felt as though his spirit had been jarred from
his body. The woman would rather kill herself than trouble him, and that did not
sit well with him.
Their conversation was interrupted when Freyja approached them, saying, “Mrs.
Claudia Barnett wants to see you.”
Marcus was gazing at Millie with an unreadable expression on his face.
