I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 116
Wanda took a long time to reply, and Samantha saw the screen was stuck on "Typing…"Finally, Wanda sent a short message, "I believe Stefan won't be fooled by her." Samantha rolled her eyes at the screen. It was typical of Wanda to avoid direct confrontation and keep her cool. But Samantha didn't care. As long as Wanda knew what was happening, Millie would face trouble later.Samantha didn't reply but called Pierce instead, "Pierce, where are you?""I'm almost at the hospital. What's up?""Wait for me at the entrance. I'll come find you."Samantha quickly went downstairs and soon saw Pierce's car.Pierce had gone back to the villa to get some food, thinking Millie might not like the bland hospital meals.Even if the food had to be plain, it should still be tasty and healthy.Just as Pierce was about to go upstairs, Samantha stopped him, "Pierce… I need something. Can you get me some sanitary pads?"Pierce frowned. "If you're in so much pain, maybe you should just go home and

"Pierce, just pretend you didn't see anything and don't tell Millie you were here. I'm trying to get on better terms with her. If she finds out, she might not trust me anymore," Samantha said, sounding worried."Don't worry, I won't tell her," Pierce replied."Let's go before Millie sees us," Samantha said, pulling Pierce out of the room and talking as they walked."When a girl is sick, she feels weak and upset. Millie and Ste were close for three years, so it makes sense she'd call him first when she's in pain," Samantha said, trying to explain."Millie called Stefan first?" Pierce asked, stopping."Yeah. The doctor checked her wound, and it seemed to be getting worse. She was in so much pain she meant to call you, but somehow called Ste instead," Samantha explained.Samantha told her lie unblinkingly. Pierce, who was good at reading people, looked at her closely. Her eyes seemed sincere, and it was hard for him not to believe her.Samantha was right; three years of dating wasn

"Why are you here?" Millie asked, frowning when she saw Samantha."I came to check on you. Pierce is busy with work and couldn't come," Samantha chirped."How do you know?""Pierce told me. Didn't he let you know? It's fine, though. I'm here to see you."Samantha's happy tone annoyed Millie."Pierce should have come to see you, even if he's busy. You just had surgery. I told him he should come.""No need. I can manage by myself," Millie said firmly."I'm going to sleep now. If you're okay, you can leave.""Alright, I'll come back and see you tomorrow morning."Samantha left with a satisfied smile, clearly pleased with herself.…The next morning, Millie woke up and saw Julian sitting next to her bed."Julian, what are you doing here?" she asked, surprised.She tried to sit up, but it hurt because of her wound, and she winced in pain."Don't move around," Julian said quickly, speaking gently. "Just stay still.""I was worried when you didn't come to the studio yesterday,"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? Don't you have something to say to me?"Millie felt confident; she had nothing to hide. But Pierce? Would he admit what was going on with himself, along with Samantha's attitude?Pierce pressed his lips together, refusing to admit he had visited yesterday, let alone bring her a meal.While she was here enjoying Julian's chicken soup, savoring every drop, she had no idea how disappointed Pierce felt when he left yesterday."I've got nothing to hide. Nothing to say," Pierce said.Millie almost lost it. Nothing to hide? Yeah, right.She suddenly didn't want to see him anymore."Just go. I don't need you here," Millie said, not hiding her anger."Yeah, you've got plenty of people to take care of you," Pierce replied coldly."That's right, I do. So why would I need you?" Millie snapped, getting more upset as she thought about how he didn't show up at all yesterday.Any good friend would've come right away. Even Stefan, who was usually heartless, ca

"Why?" Julian shouted, grabbing Pierce by the collar."You knew I liked her. Why did you go after her and take her away from me?" Julian was furious."You've got it wrong," Pierce said calmly. "We were married before you even showed interest in her. You're the one who was chasing after my wife.""Then why didn't you tell me right away? Was this just a game to you?" Julian's voice shook with frustration."I'm sorry," Pierce said. "Because our marriage was private, we couldn't tell anyone. I tried to warn you that she wasn't available. I told you she was already married."Julian was shocked. He had thought Pierce was just being biased before, and he didn't realize it meant they were actually married.Millie had never given him hope, and then she admitted she was with someone else. It was his own fault—he had been fooling himself.Julian's face was full of frustration, but he quickly calmed down.He took a deep breath and said, "I'm too late. I give up. I won't bother you while yo

Staying any longer might lead to more problems."You came at an inconvenient time. I'm about to head for a check-up, and you've seen enough. Please leave…"Millie was trying to get Stefan to leave when Wanda walked in and stopped her.Millie thought Wanda would make a fuss, but instead, Wanda came in with a bunch of expensive supplements and was really nice."Wanda… let me explain," Stefan said, sounding worried.He felt a bit awkward. Even though he felt he had good intentions, he thought maybe he shouldn't be there.Wanda just smiled and seemed fine with everything."You should have told me you were coming to see Millie," Wanda said kindly. "I care about her too. I wouldn't have stopped you; I would have come with you to visit her.""Are you okay?" Wanda asked Millie. "If I hadn't been picking up Stefan, I wouldn't have found out he was here visiting you. Both Stefan and I are worried about you. We want you to get better so we can all relax.""Yeah, if you're okay, then Wand

"Can anybody really help me with this?" Millie wondered.Pierce helped her into the bathroom and started to pull down her pants."No, no, you don't need to do that!" Millie said, feeling embarrassed."Your cut is on your lower stomach. Bending over will hurt. Let me help you. Besides, given what we've been through, there's no need to be shy," Pierce said with a slight smile.Even though Pierce was right—they had been through so much together, from him helping her after she lost her virginity to her assisting him with his needs—Millie still felt a deep sense of shame."If you're embarrassed, just close your eyes. Remember, you helped me when I was hurt," Pierce said gently."I… I'll do it myself," Millie said, trying to be independent despite the pain.Her face was bright red with embarrassment. Even though she kept telling Pierce to leave, he wouldn't budge. "I can't leave. What if you fall and hurt yourself?" Millie was frustrated and finally gave up.Pierce smirked as he

Millie cried for a while, and once she felt she had let it all out, she stopped."I'm sorry… I got your shirt dirty," she said, feeling embarrassed.Pierce's shirt was soaked from her tears."It's okay. It's good to cry. It's all in the past now," Pierce said gently.He wiped her face, which was streaked with tears."Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat," he offered.As Pierce was about to leave, his phone rang. It was a video call from his grandfather. Pierce answered, and Bill's face appeared on the screen."I don't want to see you. I want to see my granddaughter-in-law," Bill said right away.Pierce sighed and turned the camera to Millie."Grandpa," Millie said softly, trying to sound cheerful.Bill saw her red, swollen eyes and looked worried. "Millie, what happened? Did Pierce do something to you? Your eyes are so puffy.""No, it's not like that," Millie replied quickly. "I just twisted my ankle. Pierce didn't do anything." She avoided mentioning her surgery

The call was quickly answered."Where are you?" Millie asked."I'm still on a business trip," Pierce replied."Then turn on the video. I want to see your face."There was a brief silence on the other end of the call. Millie knew Pierce was lying. "Are you still not willing to tell me the truth? Jason came to the house, asking to take back your gun. What's going on? What happened in the days you were away?""I'll tell you when I get back home." Pierce's voice was a bit muffled.He then hung up the call and removed the bandage from the corner of his eye.The wound was right beside his eyebrow. Since he had dark eyebrows, the scar shouldn't be that noticeable. He could only cling on to this wishful thinking.With that, Pierce returned to the villa.Millie hadn't seen him for days. She felt that he had lost a lot of weight and looked even more exhausted after the trip."How did you get injured again?" she asked.Pierce initially thought it would take her a long time to notic

Jacob eventually calmed down and said, "Do you still insist on doing this when you know it doesn't exactly benefit us?"Pierce replied, "I wouldn't dare to deceive you, neither do I dare to contact you in private. But this doesn't affect our operations, which was why I dared to do so. I want to find someone, but I can't no matter how hard I've tried, so I had no choice but to ask for their favor.""You… Are you still doing it even though we won't get anything good out of this?" Jacob asked.Pierce fell silent and clenched his fists. "Yes. I will resolve whatever problems I've caused. After that, I'll kill them in my own way."Jacob threw his cup at Pierce upon hearing this.With Pierce's skill, he could have dodged it. However, he chose to stand straight.The cup hit him right at the corner of his eye, causing him to bleed."You…" Jacob angrily stood up. "W-Why didn't you dodge?" he asked in a shaky voice."I did something wrong. It's right for you to punish me," Pierce simply

Gideon really admired Pierce's calm and composed demeanor."What's the matter?" he asked."I need you to help me find a lady who went missing. I have to know if she's still alive or not," Pierce answered. "I need her, dead or alive. I can't do this on my own, but with your help, it'll be much easier."He had used every legal method he could think of. But desperate times called for desperate measures, and there was only one option left—to enter the underworld."You're making such a big scene just to look for this one person? What? Is she like your lover or something?" Gideon asked."She's an enemy, the kind that I want dead more than anything."The way Pierce paused after each word made him sound eerily intimidating."Is she also like us, from the underworld?""No, she's just a nobody."Gideon felt chills running down his spine. Having dealt with Pierce for this long, he thought he knew his true nature well enough—a righteous police officer who always played by the book. But ri

Pierce felt like he was drowning, but if someone were to pull him out of the water right now, he would survive.Sometimes, Millie couldn't imagine what would happen if she left Pierce one day because of her disappointment in him. Would he still be able to move on?Pierce survived by clinging onto his sheer will. At first, it was the fixation on avenging his sister's death. But now, it was all because of Millie."What are you going to do now?" she asked."I can't tell you just yet, but I promise it won't take longer than three months."Since Pierce wasn't planning to elaborate, Millie didn't bother to keep on asking either.For the past few days, Millie had been carefully taking care of the wound on Pierce's neck. Even though a small patch of new pink flesh had grown over his wound, it still looked pretty hideous. Fortunately, Pierce always wore suits with collars that were high enough to cover his neck. Millie would always start tearing up whenever she saw his scar.She said,

Pierce was aghast. Mills! His poor Mills!Everyone around Pierce had accused him of committing a crime, but he didn't do it. He had been trying so hard to find out the truth, but in the end, he still got nothing.Did he really betray Millie? Did he really taint himself by sleeping with Sarah?Even if he truly believed that Piercy didn't do anything, he still couldn't find any evidence to prove it.Sarah and Piercy were nowhere to be found either.How was he supposed to prove his innocence? He felt like a trapped beast that couldn't find its way out.Just then, Millie made a subtle twitch. It startled Pierce, and he immediately withdrew his arm around her and pretended to remain unconscious.Millie didn't sleep well at all. The first thing she did after waking up was to check on Pierce. The monitor showed that Pierce's heart was racing.She then brought out a warm towel and gently wiped his face.She began, "Your hair has grown so much longer, but you didn't even properly

Millie rushed forward and saw the disconcerting look in Pierce's eyes.Pierce hadn't rested for two days, so his nerves were stretched to their absolute limit. His eyes were completely bloodshot too.The moment he saw Millie, he grabbed her like he was a drowning man who finally got his hands on a life buoy. His large hands clamped down on her arm with such force that it felt like he was going to crush her bones.Pierce howled, "Tell him to come out, please! He listens to you. Ask him to come out, Millie. I don't care if he takes over this body. I just need him to tell me the truth! Did I betray you? Did I mess around with another woman? I'm begging you…""Pierce, calm down please." Millie tried to soothe him."How can I calm down? I want to be with you, but if I really did betray you, then at least let me die knowing the truth! What am I supposed to do now? How long does he plan to torture me?"Pierce shoved Millie aside, frantically searching around the room. He even lunged at

Samantha looked at Stefan in disbelief. "You still have feelings for Millie… Is that what you're saying?""What else? Do you expect me to have feelings for you? As long as you stay in your place, I won't make things too difficult for you. But don't overestimate yourself," Stefan sternly warned."You… You weren't like this before! I'll abort this child and make you regret it for the rest of your life! I'll really do it—try me!" Samantha cried.Stefan didn't bother mincing his words. "Do you think you can threaten me? There are plenty of women who want to have my child. Who do you think you are? If you don't give birth, Wanda will probably be thrilled. "The Atkinson family doesn't want you anymore. So, you're no longer some rich heiress. You're just Betty Miller now. If you leave me, who else can you rely on?"Ever since Samantha got pregnant, Stefan's goal had already been achieved. He didn't even care about his own child. He was happy to let Samantha and Wanda fight to the death,

For the next two days, Millie still didn't see Pierce.During that time, she continued visiting the hospital every other day to check on Stefan's condition. There were signs of improvement, but because of the sulfuric acid burns and the severity of the wounds, recovery would not be a quick process.Since they didn't have much to talk about, Millie simply read to him to help pass the time."I'll come back the day after tomorrow," she softly said, setting the book down.Stefan nodded, unsure whether he should keep holding on or let her go for good.Just as Millie reached the door, he couldn't help but call out to her again, "Do you regret it?""Regret what?" Millie turned back to look at him."Regret… being with me."Millie replied, "I do. But people don't have the ability to see the future. So, some mistakes are worth experiencing because at the very least, they teach us lessons. "I've learned to approach love with more clarity now. I will love myself first before loving any

Stefan said, "I'll take good care of myself…" Then, he suddenly started coughing. At this point, he couldn't tell whether the pain in his body was worse or if his heart hurt more.Millie panicked. If Stefan's condition worsened, how would she explain things to Agnes? So, she quickly got Stefan a glass of water and helped him take a sip. Only then did he finally manage to catch his breath.Millie felt completely useless sitting there. No matter what they talked about, it felt inappropriate. Her presence might even be making things harder for him."How about I turn on the TV for you? It'll help pass the time." Millie suggested."You don't need to do anything. Just stay here with me quietly," Stefan said."Alright then." So, Millie picked up a book and began reading to him.Her voice was as sweet as a songbird's. However, Stefan couldn't focus on anything she was reading—the only thing he saw was her delicate face.Time ticked by slowly.Meanwhile, Pierce stood outside the
