“You’re outstanding too. You’ll find the right girl for you.” Millie smiled,


    “Don’t console me, I’m insignificantpared to your husband,” Rnd said with a hint of dejection.


    Rnd faced a significant setback this time, resembling a defanged tiger, devoid of any toughness.


    “By the way, I apologize for my father’s behavior. He blocked your way and caused trouble for you. I


    was asleep at that time, or I would have stopped him.”


    “It’s alright. Are you here to buy something? I need to leave now. Seeing Marcus’ impatience, Millie


    hurriedly left, fearing he might get angry.


    As Millie walked away, Rnd and Marcus exchanged a brief nce. Rnd was taken aback by the


    intensity of Marcus’ gaze.


    “Let’s continue walking.” Millie joined him. Marcus suggested in a low voice.


    “He has a crush on you?”


    Millie nced back and noticed that Rnd was still standing there.

    Sensing Marcus’ mood from his expression and tone, Millie hesitated to admit the truth.

    “No, he’s just someone I know casually. We exchanged greetings,” Millie replied.


    Naturally, Marcus was skeptical. He could sense the man’s interest in Millie from his gaze. It irked him,


    and he couldn’t help but wonder why Millie seemed to attract attention from others so easily.


    Marcus’ tone turned serious as he reminded Millie, “I recall telling you to be cautious around men. Not


    all of them have good intentions.”


    With his statement, Marcus resumed walking ahead.


    Millie was taken aback by his words. She couldn’t believe he was forbidding her from getting close to


    other men. Millie followed him, but after a while, she stopped in her tracks.


    “What’s wrong? Your face looks pale,” Millie asked with concern.


    Millie reached out and gently touched his forehead, noticing that it felt slightly warm.


    Hillie’s concern grew as she realized Marcus had a fever.


    Marcus evaded her gaze and mentioned, “It could be that I’m not ustomed to the local climate,


    which might have led to me falling ill. It’s not a big concern,”


    In reality, the wound on his arm had worsened, andbined with exhaustion, it had caused a mild


    fever.


    “Are you certain?”


    Hillie was doubtful.


    With a smile, Marcus responded, “Yes. You’ll have to make it up to me for my sickness.”


    Millie’s gaze shifted to a nearby lotus pond, where she noticed the plump fish swimming.


    Millie responded, “In that case, I’ll prepare some fish soup for you tomorrow, It should help you feel


    better.”
