Millie questioned, “You're so sure about it, aren't you?" Her question revealed her
doubts about Marcus’ intentions, making him realize that she believed he might
be trying to absolve Celeste of any suspicion.
Frustration tinged Marcus’ tone as he answered, “With the awakening of your
grandmother, all shall become clear. Place your trust in my mother.”
But Millie's desperation persisted, and she countered, “What if my grandma can’t
wake up?”
Millie's regret soon followed, acknowledging the severity of her grandmother's
condition. Tubes and wires were intricately connected to her frail body. A somber
realization dawned on her.
Millie's gaze bore into Marcus’, her eyes imploring for understanding.
“Did you trust me? I said it wasn't me who broke the vase. Did you trust me?”
Marcus’ response contained a mixture of assurance and severity. “If I didn't, I
would have thrown you into the pool to feed the fish. Let me tell you, you can do
whatever you want within my tolerance, but don't challenge my bottom line, or I
will make you regret being alive.”
What? He believed she was pushing against his limits. Her grandmother's life
hung in the balance in the ICU, and his reaction was a warning to her?
“Don't think about revenge,” Marcus advised.
Millie grasped his intention. He assumed she intended to seek revenge on
Celeste, hence his warning.
Millie scoffed, “You're overthinking things.”
Even if she had intentions of seeking revenge, she wouldn't resort to
underhanded tactics.
One must admit that Gianna had executed her plan quite effectively. Millie had
become a venomous adversary.
Fueled by anger, Marcus forcefully shut the door and stormed away, his heart
consumed by fury.
The abrupt noise served as a jolt, managing to calm Millie down amidst the
turmoil.
“Marcus, Marcus...” Millie’s voice was a faint plea.
