Fiona’s final resting place lay in the graveyard behind them.

Lois couldn’t help but notice that Millie’s demeanor had changed. She was no longer the friendly andapproachable person Lois once knew. Moreover, Millie had seemingly been waiting for Lois outside thecemetery.

“I view her with pity, too. I’ve heard that she had no family. Her passing must have been a lonely one.”

Millie shook her head.

“No, you’re doing this out of guilt. It was you who orchestrated Fiona’s meeting with Leon. Youcompelled her to undergo plastic surgery and assume the role of Leon’s beloved,” Millie stated firmly.

Initially uncertain if Lois was indeed the mastermind, Millie’s doubts evaporated as she witnessed Loisapproach Fiona’s tombstone. The fact that Lois could stand at Fiona‘s grave confirmed Millie’ssuspicions. Since Fiona had taken the man Lois loved the most, it was inconceivable for her to standhere at the cemetery without ulterior motives.

Lois faltered, guilt gnawing at her conscience. She realized that concealing this truth was futile. Shealso recognized Millie’s astuteness; she had likely suspected Lois’ involvement since their encounter atthe hospital where Millie concealed the medical report.

“I confess that I orchestrated Fiona’s actions, but you must understand why I did it. I Love Leon, yet hedoes not reciprocate those feelings for me. He remains devoted to the girl he encountered in the past. Ifelt I had no alternative,” Lois admitted, her tone tinged with sadness. Her pursuit of happiness hadonce again been thwarted.

Nothing in the world was more agonizing than losing the one you Loved.

“You indirectly caused Fiona’s demise. Did you arrange for the two individuals to catch her, resulting inthe car accident?” Millie questioned, her gaze unwavering.

“Did you witness everything?”

Lois was taken aback. Millie’s perceptiveness was remarkable. Despite Lois’ urging for the twoindividuals to leave swiftly, Millie had managed to observe their actions.

Millie maintained her silence, the weight of unspoken thoughts filling the air.

“Yes, I dispatched them to take Fiona away. I was afraid Leon would replace out about her condition andempathize with her, but I never intended for her to meet her end.”

Millie cast her gaze over the verdant graveyard.

Love could resemble a double-edged blade, driving the unrequited Lover to madness.

Later that evening, upon Millie’s return to her room, the sound of water running in the shower indicatedMarcus’ presence.

Noticing that Marcus’ laptop was active, Millie approached and discovered a partially completed set ofjewelry examination questions. Could this be a way for Marcus to test her and her classmates?

“Ehem.”

Draped in a white bathrobe, Marcus sauntered over, his damp chest on display.

Startled, Millie averted her gaze. Had he witnessed her perusing the examination questions? Was thisa form of cheating?

“Did you go through them all?” Marcus’ smile widened as he tossed the towel aside and drew Millie intohis embrace.
