Leon’s gesture was one of disdain, his voice carrying a hint of sadistic satisfaction.

“I regret to inform you otherwise. She breathes still, yet your suffering is a necessity.”

“Payment was rendered. Why keep Millie alive? Ah, I comprehend. Leon, you release her, as she’syour cousin-in-law.”

Nancy’s disillusionment cut deep. Her hired hand was but a pawn in Leon’s game.

“Her incessant prattle is noisy. Remove her!” Leon waved nonchalantly.

The query surfaced, edged with desperation.

“What’s your intent?”

“Nancy, you nearly sabotaged someone crucial to Franco. Now, retribution beckons.”

A gentle touch tended to the wound on Millie’s forehead. Stirring in her unconscious state, a faint moanescaped her lips, a testament to the pain she felt, intensifying Marcus’ remorse.

Upon arriving at the hospital’s entrance, Marcus sprang into action, carefully carrying Millie inside.

“Mr. Thomas, she’s endured some minor contusions. Recovery should follow in a matter of days.”

“Ensure she receives the best nourishment.”

Judie Miller nodded, though she felt somewhat redundant; Marcus had assumed the role of hercaregiver.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Millie’s eyes fluttered open, her gaze alighting upon Marcusslumbering in a chair by her bedside.

Retrospection brought a sigh of relief; the malevolent intentions of those assailants had been thwarted.Her well-being was preserved.

Yet the details of her hospitalization remained fuzzy. Leon’s intervention was a distinct memory.
