Han cleared his throat, reminding Millie, “Stop staring at me and focus on applying the medicine.”


    Only then did Millie snap out of her thoughts and resume her careful treatment of Marcus’ injury.


    From the side, Han couldn’t help but observe Millie’s expression.


    Her furrowed brows and delicate frame invoked a protective instinct.


    He had initially encountered her as an adversary alongside Marcus.


    But now, they had eventually fallen in love. It was a remarkable transformation.


    Han had once believed that Marcus, like himself, would lead a solitary life. But Millie had spared


    Marcus from that fate.

    In truth, Han held affections for her too. From their first meeting, her charming personality had


    captivated him. Were she not the object of Marcus’ affection, he might have pursued her as his


    paramour.


    He wished for her evesting happiness.


    Mavis, possessing a keen intuition, sensed that Han might also have feelings for Miss Brown.


    With a yful glint in her eyes, Mavis approached Han and linked her arm through his.

    “Don’t worry. If you ever get hurt someday, I’ll gently apply medicine for you, just Like Miss Brown.”


    Han had been focused on Millie, so Mavis’ sudden action caught him off guard.


    He despised physical contact, and his initial impulse was to react angrily. However, when he met Mavis’


    innocent gaze, his anger subsided. He simply disentangled his arm and moved away from her.


    Once Millie had finished tending to Marcus’ wound, the rain stopped pouring. She took care to ask the


    doctor about Marcus’ aftercare,mitting the instructions to memory.


    After a few parting words with Han, Marcus departed with Millie.


    Han apanied them to the door, with Mavis trailing behind.


    Once they were gone, Han leveled a warning look at Mavis.


    “If you breathe a word about Marcus’ wound to anyone, you’ll regret it.”


    After a moment of astonishment, she shook her head.


    “I won’t say anything to anybody.”


    Han turned away and re-entered the room with Mavis following suit.


    “I’ve made a promise to you. Can you please treat me a bit better?”


    “Why would I?” Han asked, turning around to look her in the eye.
