Chapter 473


    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 deration 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 nced at Marcus’ hand that was holding her before looking up at him.


    “What are you doing?”


    Marcus met her bright eyes.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    “What if somebody took you hostage and tried to ckmail me with you? Do you think I''lle to save me?”


    Marcus suggested a possible scenario, but one he would prefer not to ur.


    “If 1 were to be kidnapped, | wouldn’t make things difficult for you. If | 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. udia Bat wants to see you.”


    Marcus was gazing at Millie with an unreadable expression on his face.


    However, before she could guess what he was thinking, he slowly let her go and stepped away.


    Freyja led Marcus and Millie to udia’s tearoom.


    Leon and Lois were already there when they arrived.


    udia was talking to them.


    “Leon, Lois, you two need to get along more. It takes effort and time to establish a healthy rtionship, and if you don’t start now,


    it''ll be toote.”


    Smiling, Lois replied, “We will, Grandma.”
