Chapter: 585

“Alright. Bring me to them in exchange for Lois.”

While listening to Leon’s voice from the other end of the line, Millie glanced in the direction of the ICU,where her grandmother was confined. She then muttered, “I’m willing to put my life in danger if itmeans my grandma will live.”

Before leaving the hospital, Millie went to add money to her grandmother’s medical card in case sheneeded to use it.

Next, she went to the southern part of the city and found the abandoned building.

Leon’s assistant was standing outside the premises. He turned to regard Millie.

“Sir Leon is over there.”

Millie approached Leon, who was standing at the entrance of the building. There were debris all overthe ground, making it difficult to walk. Leon turned around when he heard Millie’s footsteps.

The woman opted for a casual look by donning a T-shirt, jeans, and a pair of white canvas sneakers.Her complexion was slightly ghostly, but she was still pleasing to the eye.

Leon met her gaze and wondered if she was not afraid of death. According to the kidnappers, theywere armed with bombs.

Millie was standing two meters away from Leon, looking around. There were three floors in the building.The place was rundown and old but eerily silent. This must be where the kidnappers were hiding toavoid capture.

After a while, she turned to Leon.

“I need you to give me your word that you’re not lying.”

Millie looked him straight in the eye.

“I’m not lying.”

This was the first time she had ever heard sincerity in Leon’s voice. Lois must be really important tohim. Grinning, Millie joked, “Leon, if 1 switch places with Miss Rayne, will I die?”

Instantly, Leon’s entire body seemed to go numb. He did not know how to answer her question.

Would she die? Leon took in her bright eyes, lovely nose, and rosy lips.

He did not want her to die.

Millie cracked another grin and pulled out a card. “I was just kidding, to relieve the tense anduncomfortable atmosphere here. If I die, though, please give this card to my grandmother. I’ve beensaving for her pension, and it’s all in there.”

She would definitely try her best to escape, but she needed to be ready for the worst-case scenario.

Leon took the card. It felt heavy in his hands. It was like it weighed a thousand pounds.

“You can trust me with this one.”
