Millie listened to the voicemail message on the other end of the line. She was at a loss.This time, it seemed like she had truly gone too far.She sat down and tried to recall when she might have saved Pierce. But try as she might, she couldn't recall anything. Perhaps it was just a small, insignificant act of kindness on her part. But for Pierce, who might have been in crisis, it could have been a monumental favor.Millie thought that there was no need to make such a big deal out of it because she couldn't even remember it herself!Now that she had calmed down, she wanted to talk to Pierce with a softer approach. But there was no longer a chance for her to do that.Nevertheless, Millie decided not to dwell on it. Her words had indeed been harsh. But if this could lead to severing ties with Pierce once and for all, maybe it wasn't a bad thing. After all, if they were emotionally distant for two years in their marriage, she could use this as grounds for a divorce.Millie th

Millie was still worried. "But Grandpa, aren't you worried? What if…""That's his life. If he doesn't cherish it, what can we do?" Bill was clearly upset as well.After that, Bill didn't feel like seeing anyone. So, Millie left without getting any of the answers she was searching for.In the end, she decided to visit the villa, thinking she might find some clues there.When Millie arrived, she learned that Pierce had returned but had locked himself in a room upstairs. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for two whole days. Then, after coming out of the room, he left and never returned.Millie recalled that there was a locked room upstairs that no one was allowed to enter. Pierce was the only one who had access to it, and he would occasionally clean it himself.Before his disappearance, he had only gone to that room and stayed there for two days. There had to be some clue inside.Millie decided to check it out, but there was no key to open it. Pierce's fingerprint and iris scan wer

Pierce had been missing for a full week now.Millie and Tobias were completely out of leads and could only patiently wait for any news. Millie's network wasn't as extensive as Tobias's. So, if he couldn't find Pierce, she naturally stood no chance.Though Millie claimed to not care, she had been eating poorly and hadn't been getting much sleep. As a result, she'd lost significant weight during this time.Every day, she went to her design studio but couldn't produce any work. She lived aimlessly with her mind constantly troubled.By now, news of Pierce's disappearance had already spread. Some speculated that his years as a police officer had earned him too many enemies and that he had been secretly silenced. Others suggested that he had fallen gravely ill and gone abroad for treatment.Julian had heard the rumors and noticed Millie's distracted state. He saw how she was unwilling to stay home and how she forced herself to keep busy. It made him feel sorry for her."Millie, why d

Jacob left, leaving Millie alone outside the operating room. It was pure torment, and her mind raced with countless questions.Why? Why was Pierce calling her name? Didn't he have a long-lost first love he secretly admired? Could that first love be her?Nevertheless, Millie couldn't recall ever saving him, nor could she understand why both three years ago and now, her presence seemed to drive him to irrational extremes—so much so that he would even risk his life.Could her words really carry so much weight? Who was the person Pierce loved so deeply? Was it her? Where did this love begin, and why did it run so deep? Why couldn't she remember ever crossing paths with him?Millie's head throbbed in pain as a fragment of a memory flickered briefly in her mind. It seemed almost within reach, but when she tried desperately to grasp it, it slipped away and left no trace.Millie's breathing grew ragged, and the pain became unbearable. Only by forcing herself not to think about it coul

The call did nothing to calm Millie. Instead, it left her even more confused.She had always known that Pierce had a strained relationship with his family. He'd only ever been close to Bill and Samantha. But she had never imagined that Pierce was an illegitimate child.After all, he had never mentioned it.Even Tobias, who had worked closely with him for years, had never truly known his inner thoughts. He had hidden himself from everyone and kept it all to himself.Wasn't he lonely, carrying all of those burdens alone?Millie began, "Pierce, I'm sorry. I said very harsh and hurtful words to you. Despite the incident on the ship, I don't regret saving you back then. Maybe it was a small thing, but you remembered it. And I… I can't even recall it!"I've been trying so hard to convince myself that if it weren't you, it would've been someone else. If it were anyone else, I could hate them without any qualms. But… I don't know how to face you. That's why I've been avoiding you and sta

Could Pierce hear her at all? Did anything she said make a difference?Millie began doubting herself even more. Was the doctor wrong? And had she been mistaken too?Millie stared fixedly at Pierce, who was still lying motionlessly on the bed. 23 hours had passed. When the doctor came by, he shook his head and sighed.Jacob arrived shortly after. His expression was grave and tinged with sadness, as though he was mourning the loss of a promising and talented young man.Everyone in the room was deep in sorrow."Pierce, are you… not going to wake up?" Millie's voice was hoarse. She hadn't eaten or drunk anything. Her nerves were so frayed that she was on the brink of collapse."I knew it. I'm not enough to wake you… I was never that important." Millie let out a bitter laugh. She then said, "If you die, I'll have to carry the guilt of your death. Every time I think of you, I'll feel responsible. They all pinned their hopes on me, but I couldn't wake you. "Am I supposed to take

Millie slowly regained consciousness. Her head felt heavy, and her limbs felt weak. When she tried to sit up, a wave of dizziness washed over her.It took her a while to fully come to her senses, and she realized that she was still in Pierce's hospital room. However, the bed next to hers was now neatly made, and Pierce was nowhere to be seen.Millie's heart sank. She glanced at the clock and saw that the critical 24-hour period had passed.Where was Pierce?She had fainted before he woke up, which most likely meant he never regained consciousness. Did the hospital already take care of Pierce's body?The thought of that sent Millie into a panic. She jumped out of bed in a rush and didn't even bother to put on her shoes.As she stepped out of the room, she overheard two young nurses chatting."He was so young, and he's gone just like that. What a shame," one said."Yeah. I heard he was a highly valued officer with a bright future. And he was so handsome too. It's such a pity,

Every step Millie took required immense courage.Finally, she stood in front of the body. Her hands shook even more violently as she reached out, inch by inch, until her fingers brushed the edge of the white sheet.She took a deep breath and pulled the sheet back.But before she could fully see Pierce's face, a large hand suddenly covered her eyes. "Don't look. He died horribly and was disfigured beyond recognition. I'm afraid it'll scare you," said a familiar voice from behind.Millie's mind went blank.The voice belonged to Pierce. She would never mistake his voice—not in this lifetime.The hand over her eyes was real too. Her back was pressed tightly against his chest, and the warmth radiating from him was undeniable.Pierce was alive.Millie's lashes trembled and lightly brushed against his palm. Then, hot tears uncontrollably fell from her eyes."Millie, I can't hold on much longer. Will you catch me?" His voice was hoarse and strained. Upon hearing that, Millie's h

Pierce frowned slightly, confused about why the doctor insisted on Millie joining him for the consultation. Nevertheless, he respected the doctor's advice and called her over."Your wife is very pretty," the doctor remarked."Yes, she's beautiful," Pierce responded, proudly puffing out his chest.Millie rolled her eyes upon hearing that."Doctor, is there something wrong with him? Is it serious?" she nervously asked. When she learned that the doctor had specifically requested her presence, she was worried that Pierce might have some kind of serious health issue."Do you two not have a healthy sex life? Look at him—he's clearly been holding back too much. There's nothing wrong with him physically. But he's young, full of energy, and at the age where he needs… a release. "Should I examine you too, miss?" the doctor asked.The comment left Millie's face burning with embarrassment, and even the tip of Pierce's ears turned a faint red.The elderly doctor was certainly not one to mi

"Mills, are you inside?" Pierce called out.He'd hurried back home after the housekeeper told him that Millie had retreated to her room early. He thought she'd gone to bed, but the lights were still on, and there was no sign of her.However, the bathroom door was tightly shut. Worried that she might have passed out inside from staying in the bath for too long, Pierce knocked on the door. "Mills?"Millie wanted to respond, but no sound came out of her mouth. Her body felt completely drained."Mills?" Pierce's voice grew more urgent. "If you don't come out, I'm coming in."After waiting for another minute and not getting a response, Pierce opened the door and found Millie slumped in the bathtub, completely soaked and looking utterly disheveled."Mills!" Pierce was alarmed to see her in such a fragile and exhausted state.He immediately assumed that it was the lingering impact of her family's recent visit. He thought that Millie was still trapped in sadness, unable to move past t

"Does our family have to end up in this state?" Mateo asked, bewildered. Everything had been fine before they came to Arbelton. Why had it all fallen apart after one short visit?He understood that Millie had suffered, but it was undeniable that she was heartless too. Wasn't she the one who had torn the family apart?"Think it over yourself. For now, come home with me," Emily said.After everything that had happened, Emily had made up her mind. She finally saw Frederick for who he was. She still had a shred of conscience and was willing to admit that the Jordan family had wronged Millie. But Frederick's chauvinistic attitude disgusted her. Why was it so hard for him to admit that Millie did better than him? She wasn't a stranger—she was family, after all.The Jordan family had arrived in Arbelton feeling wronged and self-righteous, but they left with their tails between their legs.Meanwhile, Agnes followed through on her promise to formally take Millie in as her honorary gr

"Why did you hit Mateo?" Emily immediately stepped forward to shield Mateo."Are you mocking me too? Try me, and I'll kick you out of the Jordan family as well!" Frederick snapped.Emily clapped back at him, her voice trembling with rage, "Maybe my son and I should leave together! That's all you have left to threaten us with, isn't it? Because we still rely on you financially. "But Millie is different. She's independent and far more capable than you think. She doesn't need your money, so you can't control her. You've lost your authority, and it frustrates you. You can't accept it, so you lash out like a petty clown. "You can't win anywhere, so you take it out on Mateo. Was he wrong in what he said just now? Also, you don't seem to have reflected on this entire situation at all. Do you realize how much Millie suffered to save this family back then? You're still enjoying a fine life now, and this is all thanks to her. "Why are you biting the hand that fed you?"Another loud slap

Mateo and Emily met Millie's gaze with guilt written all over their faces. They had finally come to understand the hardships that Millie had endured three years ago and realized just how over the line they had been.Still, Frederick was the head of the family, and their survival depended on him. They couldn't defy his authority."Mr. Jordan, what brings you here?" Millie asked, her tone calm and detached.Frederick had specially arranged for the book containing their family tree to be sent from their hometown. The old, yellowed book carried a significant weight, both physically and symbolically."Listen, Millie. You are being expelled from the family. Your name will be removed from the family tree! This is the Jordan family disowning you!" Frederick declared.He flipped to the page where her name was written and crossed it out in front of everyone present.He imagined that this grand and dramatic gesture would intimidate Millie. He then said solemnly, "From now on, the Jordan f

Frederick finally saw the light of day. Initially, he had been confident that Emily and Mateo would come to his rescue. He was certain that Millie wouldn't dare to keep him detained for long.Each day, he prepared to be released. But as the days passed, he watched others being bailed out while he was left to endure endless interrogations. His frustration turned into anger and defiance, but his resistance only led to his fellow detainees teaching him a harsh lesson with their fists.Humbled and bruised, he eventually fell in line. Fear began to consume him, and his thoughts drifted back to his time in prison. He'd been made to wake up at fixed hours, eat at designated times, and make his bed to perfection. He had to toil in the sun and endure the abuse of fellow inmates.Every day had been unbearable in there, and the desperation to escape grew stronger as time passed. He knew in his heart that he was innocent, and the injustice of it all only made him yearn for freedom.When

Still, Millie couldn't be certain. If her parents could abandon her, how could she truly trust someone who wasn't related to her in any way? She tried her best to believe Pierce, but deep down, her doubts kept surfacing.Millie heavily exhaled. "I'm tired. I want to rest for a while.""Alright, go ahead and sleep," Pierce gently said.With that, Millie curled up on the couch and drifted off into a restless sleep. From time to time, she would frown in her slumber as if troubled by something.Pierce felt a deep ache in his heart as he watched her. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.No matter what, he would always stay by her side.…Over the next few days, Millie focused on her work and tried to stay unaffected by everything that was going on in the outside world.Emily didn't even last half a month. From her hospitalization to Frederick being detained, barely ten days had passed before she found Millie again.By then, Emily hadn't eaten for a day. For the first time, s

Emily finally came to understand Millie's hardships. She could relate to Millie's struggles and how unfair they'd been toward her. They had benefited from Millie's sacrifices and taken her for granted. What right did they have to judge her afterward?The one who had suffered the most was Millie.Even now, their current situation wasn't as dire as it had been three years ago. Yet, Mateo had already given up on them and hid away like a coward.But three years ago, Millie had tirelessly run around. She'd even sacrificed herself to pay for Emily's hospital bills and hired the best doctors for her. She had even worked hard to have someone overturn Frederick's case while caring for a brother who was merely a few years younger than her.Millie had endured so much back then. Yet, when the family was reunited, all they did was shower gratitude on the Leach family. They believed that Millie had struck gold by attaching herself to Stefan and had never stopped to think about how much she had

"Where is Millie? She must be hiding somewhere, watching us. Bring her out right now!" Frederick bossily demanded."Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. Please cooperate and come with us," one of the tax officers sternly replied."Millie… Millie…" Frederick continued to call out as he was forcibly taken away. Due to his vigorous resistance, the authorities had no choice but to use force.The sight of this left Emily and Mateo terrified, and they were at a complete loss as to what to do. They ran to the relevant authorities, but they weren't even allowed to see Frederick.In the end, Mateo decided to seek help from Stefan. However, when he went to Leach Manor, he was unceremoniously turned away. With nowhere else to turn, he swallowed his pride and reached out to Millie. However, she also refused to see him.Emily, overwhelmed by the stress, fainted and was rushed to the hospital. Mateo attempted to pay the bills, only to find that Frederick's credit card had been
