Chapter: 599
With fierce intensity, Marcus glowered at her and uttered in a cold tone, “Leave.”
“Of course.”
Placing the lunch box on the bench, Bria hastened away. After a brief interval,
she found her thoughts swirling in her mind. As she navigated the hallways, she
cast furtive glances around the wards, a shiver cascading down her spine.
Word had it that Millie's remains were preserved within these hospital walls.
Upon learning of Millie's demise in the explosion, Bria harbored an apprehension
that the departed would retum to exact vengeance upon her.
While passing an unoccupied stairwell, she surreptitiously retrieved a handful of
paper money and secreted herself within the shadows. Glancing around to
ensure she was alone, she procured a lighter and ignited the paper money,
whispering something.
“Millie, please spare me. I'm offering you this money to use in the afterlife. I'll
burn more for you later. And remember, your death wasn't at my hands. I merely
played a minor role. I beg you, spare me from your visitations.”
Behind her, the sound of Marcus’ footsteps drew nearer, but Bria's nerves were
so rattled she couldn't perceive it.
Standing at the stairwell, Marcus observed Bria hunched over, setting paper
money ablaze in the dim ochre light.
“What are you doing?” Marcus questioned, with a touch of incredulity in his tone.
Startled, Bria spun around to see Marcus towering on the stairwell, a figure
resembling the lord of the underworld. Fright gripped her, and she scrambled to
her feet. ir. Thomas, when did you arrive?”
“Are you burning paper money for Millie? Are you afraid she’ll come after you?
Did you kill her?”
Marcus’ gaze tured frosty and menacing. Bria trembled, struggling to keep her
composure. She'd just been beseeching Millie not to haunt her.
Wide-eyed, Bria quickly refuted, “No, no, it's not me. I didn’t harm Mrs. Thomas. I
was only burning paper money to ensure she had enough in the afterlife.”
Bria's explanation was cut short as Marcus seized her throat, pressing her
against the cold railing of the staircase.
“Enough of this nonsense! What did you do to Millie? Why bum paper money for
her? Speak up now; my patience is wearing thin.”
“Mr. Thomas, please, I truly haven't harmed Mrs. Thomas.”
Stubbornness colored her words.
