Chapter: 651


    However, she managed to wrest Marcus’ hand free with all her might.


    The pain from pinching the wound must have been intense. Marcus didn’t decline her offer. In a boss-


    like manner, he instructed Millie to take care of it on her own.


    “If you intend to examine the wound, lend me a hand by assisting me in removing my coat. My mobility


    is limited.”


    Even though Millie disyed a slight pout, she proceeded to carefully remove his coat.


    Marcus felt a sense of contentment. When had Millie grown so gentle? Since the encounter with the


    divorce agreement, she had consistently treated him with coldness.


    Considering this, Marcus couldn’t help but smile. The pain from his wound seemed. worthwhile as it


    allowed him to experience Millie’s care for him.


    As she held Marcus’ coat, Millie noticed that the white shirt underneath was stained with blood. An


    inexplicable pain tugged at her heart.


    “The wound is bleeding. It needs to be bandaged again. Let’s go inside. I’ll help you with the


    bandaging,” Millie insisted.


    Marcus nced at the bleeding area and shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. We can bandage it when


    we go back.”


    “This needs to be taken care of promptly, or you might get an infection,” Millie persisted.


    Seeing how anxious Millie was, her face turning red, Marcus patiently exined,


    “[‘ve used a special medicine for the wound that I don’t have here. Regr medicine won’t work. The


    wound hasn’t fully healed yet, so some bleeding is normal. If I bandage it now, Grandma will get


    worried.”


    Millie fell into silence. His exnation made sense, even though she knew he would have to endure


    more difort.


    Changing the subject, Marcus asked, “Do you like this lotus pond? There’s one in every Thomas family


    vi because Grandma believes the lotus symbolizes family prosperity.”

    No wonder there was a lotus pond in Marcus’ vi too. It was his grandmother’s sentiment.


    Millie nodded, saying, “Yes, I like it. The lotus leaves are big and green, and the flowers are beautiful.


    It’s very calming to look at.”


    “You’re more beautiful than any flower.”


    Out of the blue, Marcus uttered sweet words.


    Taken aback, Millie tumed to him, finding him looking at her as well.


    Her heart raced, and she quickly shifted her gaze to the lotus pond.


    Marcus chuckled. It seemed like saying sweet things wasn’t as awkward as he thought.


    As darkness set in, they returned to themunity where Millie lived. Marcus had been resting in the


    vi for the past few days, but he hadn’t been sleeping well.
