It led her to believe that he must truly love the mysterious Aisha.

After a moment, Leon’s tense posture relaxed. He furrowed his brows and inquired, “What’s thematter?”

“Nothing,” Lois replied softly as she gradually withdrew from his embrace. When Leon tumed around,he noticed Lois’ unusually pale complexion.

“You don’t look well. Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”

“I’m fine. Aren’t you supposed to supervise the project? Let’s get going.”

With a hint of suspicion, Leon led the way out of the villa.

Once inside the car, Leon’s phone began to ring. He answered it, his brows furrowing in deepconcentration.

Before ending the call, he issued the command, “Continue searching. I won’t give up.”

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lois was taken aback. Who was he searching for? Her intuition wastelling her that Leon was on the lookout for Aisha.

Upon reaching the downtown area, Lois got out of the car. She had no desire to Teturn now.

After Leon’s car departed, Lois gazed at the scar on her wrist. The pain it brought was undeniable, yether love for Leon remained unrestrained.

Meanwhile, as Millie exited the supermarket with her groceries, she noticed Lois standingabsentmindedly on the roadside. Lois stood there as if lost in thought.

Approaching Lois, Millie asked, “Hello, Miss Rayne.”

“Millie.” Lois snapped back to reality.

“are you alright? Why are you standing here?”

Lois shook her head. “I was lost in thought, but what about you? Why are you buying groceries? Isn’tthat not your responsibility?”

Holding a heavy bag of groceries, Millie seemed weighed down. Lois, who was unfamiliar with groceryshopping, found it quite surprising.

“T bought these for my grandma.”

Understanding that Millie’s grandmother was seriously ill in the hospital, she nodded in understanding.

“are you in a rush to get back? If not, would you like to join me for a meal?”

“Sure.” Millie agreed.

Upon arriving at a breakfast restaurant, Lois ordered a delicate breakfast and encouraged Millie to giveita try.
