Quickly, he masked his disappointment withughter.


    “Alright, you should head home and get packed. Don’t waste your time here.”


    Millie and Marcus exited the hospital together. Concerned by Marcus * somber expression, Millie softly


    asked, “Darling, why so silent?”


    Millie sensed Marcus’ jealousy growing. Throughout their journey, she noticed that he wore a


    particrly serious expression.


    When Marcus felt jealous, he could be quite unreasonable.


    Marcus halted and, seeing Millie’s anxious look, took her hand. His face softened, jealousy reced by


    a smile.


    “Let’s head home and pack.” They continued on their way, hands entwined.


    Across from the hospital, Patrick observed them leaving. Disappointment weighing on him, he turned


    and headed back to the agricultural station. He had the afternoon off, and he nned to spend it with


    Millie, only to find Marcus was also there.


    “Aron, you scoundrel! I leave for the countryside just for a few days, and you’re off sleeping with


    another woman, How dare you treat me this way? You scoundrel!


    “You think I’m making this up? My friend saw you and even took a picture. You swore I was the only


    one you ever loved. You’ve lied to me, you scoundrel.”

    Laurel had barely left the hospital when a friend called her, urging her to return to Preagend without


    dy; her friend had seen Aron and a young woman exiting a hotel.

    Stunned by the news, Laurel couldn’t believe it. She knew Aron had a roguish reputation, but she never


    thought him so licentious. Especially since both families had spoken about them getting married.


    How could he betray her like this?


    “Break up? You have the audacity to call me a shrew and end things with me?”


    Laurel felt a wave of emotions and began to tremble. The man was caught being unfaithful, and instead


    of apologizing, he wanted to end their rtionship.


    Tears welled in her eyes as she tightly gripped her phone.


    “Fine, let’s end this, scoundrel, But know this: I’m the one leaving you.” With that, she hurled her phone


    to the ground.


    A car’s horn red, and the vehicle sped toward her.


    The driver was distracted by a phone call and didn’t notice Laurel standing in the road until it was too


    late to brake.


    “Ah she screamed, frozen in fear as the car bore down on her.


    “Watch out!” came a shout.


    At thest moment, a man yanked Laurel from harm’s way, and she tumbled into his arms.


    “Why were you standing in the middle of the road? You could have been killed,” he chided.


    Laurel looked up, taking in his clean, handsome face and the fresh scent of his clothing.
