At that instant, Milly broke into a sudden smile, yet her eyes grew increasingly reddened, brimming

George stayed mute, lying calmly on the bed, watching her intently, as though anticipating her next
words.
She paused to inhale deeply before continuing. “I’m feeling somewhat perplexed about your
feelings towards me. You once expressed liking me, thenter imed you didn’t.
“Remember when you leftst time? I mentioned that, we should talk about the bracelet and where
we stand when we next meet. But now, with your memory loss, you don’t recall any of it. I’m
considering whether it’s right to give you back your freedom at this point, since forgetting seems to
be your answer already. It feels wrong to exploit your vulnerability.
“So, George, what are your thoughts?”
Milly tilted her head and smiled at George, who sat at the edge of the bed, waiting for his reply.
George also looked at her, his eyes remaining icy and indifferent, like ice, cold and merciless,
causing a chill and fear.
Granting freedom…
Those words expressed her intentions clearly. Once intertwined in the crowd, now parted, returning
to the wide world, no longer consumed with thoughts of each other day and night. I made a vow for
you and now I grant you freedom–to roam with the wind, the waves, and the sky, but not with me.
George stared at her, trying to prate her soul. His eyes were now deeper and more enigmatic
than ever, emanating an iprehensible darkness that caused a chill down her spine.
Just as he prepared to speak, he noticed Milly standing before he rose and looking down at him in
the hospital bed. “Since Mr. Tate seems reluctant to respond, may I speak on your behalf?”
Mr. Tate…
George’s lips tightened slightly. She called me Mr. Tate? It was indeed a distant address, and it
made him feel ufortable.
I haven’t responded to what you just said yet. You don’t need to rush to distance yourself from me.
Calling me Mr. Tate is a bit premature. You can…
Before he could finish his bittersweet words, his lips suddenly grew warm, carrying a faint fragrance
that pierced his heart, causing it to tremble uncontrobly. George, usuallyposed even under
the threat of a gun to his head, now widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
He struggled to find his next words, simply lying on the bed, staring at her.
Milly was amused by his response, her eyes gleaming as she gazed at him, her manner exuding
charm and yfulness. “Mr. Tate, I’m going to pursue you now.”
Just moments ago, she criticised others for being domineering and assertive, but now she herself
appeared as arrogant as a peacock.

amusement, his eyes now filled with humour rather than the earlier indifference. “Kiss and run? Are
you a rogue girl?”
Milly blushed at hisment, replying boldly, “Didn’t I say I was pursuing you? That was just a
notice, not a question, so I don’t need your response.”
George arched an eyebrow, bemused by her logic.
“Can you exin why then?”
Milly reflected briefly before responding candidly, “In The Little Prince, it is written that the Little
Prince cannot endure solitude and longs for the rose on Earth. He’d rather face physical destruction
than leave his rose alone. He frets over the well–being of the rose in his absence. He requires a
sheep, but it must be equipped with a muzzle. Only then can the rose be secure.”
“So what does that mean?” George asked.
“So… I believe you are my rose.”
Actually, she had been thinking for a long time about her feelings for George. Was he just a friend,
or something more?
But after pondering, she realised they could never be just ordinary friends.
After all, thoughts can mislead, expressions can misguide, and words can deceive, but the body’s
physical responses do not lie. When she found out that George was gravely injured and
unconscious, it felt as if her entire world had shattered in that instant–a sensation she had never
experienced before.
Milly was never one to be melodramatic or hesitant. Once she recognised her emotions, she was
ready to act. Life is too brief to waste time on indecision.
George seemed to lighten up upon hearing her words, a spark of happiness gleaming in his eyes,
and a slow smile forming on his lips. “You… cough, cough, cough.”
He tried to speak to her, but forgetting his severe injury, he doubled over in pain, holding his chest
and coughing until hisplexion became ashen.
Milly was concerned and softly tapped his back, asking, “Are you alright? Do you require water? I’ll
fetch some for you
At that moment, the door forcefully swung open, and Scarface’s authoritative voice echoed, “What’s
going on? Leave immediately! I suspected your malicious intent all along, daring to scheme right in
front of me. You’re really seeking for death!

Scarface drew Milly away, inadvertently grazing her previously injured hand, causing her to flinch in
pain but stay quiet.
After a brief pause to ensure George was alright, she remarked, “I’ll go now. I’ll returnter to see
how you’re doing.”
Before George could reply, she had already dashed away.
Danny, ever observant, turned to George and inquired, “Mr. Tate, would you like me to apany

Despite her apparent courage, she was rather shy. Perhaps she preferred to be alone at that
particr moment. Encouraging her to open up had been a challenge, and it
wouldn’t do to let her retreat back
inside.
Danny nodded in affirmation, “Got it, Mr. Tate.”
George pressed a button on the bedside panel, and the smart automated bed gradually shifted to
the proper position.
Casting a quick nce at Scarface next to him, his tone asmanding as always, he asked,
“What’s the situation outside right now?”
Upon hearing the inquiry, Scarface promptly briefed on the present circumstances without dy,
“The Ghost Sect holds a vendetta against us, but their primary forces remain in Maldonia. Currently,
only two minor sects are active in Halturia. Despite their small numbers, they are cunning.
Furthermore, our entry into the hospital earlier was not discreet, so they probably have already
been informed.
“A few of our men noticed suspicious individuals lurking outside upon their return. As soon as we
took action, these figures became vignt and quickly fled. They are probably affiliated with the
Ghost Sect.”
