Chapter 458

Author: Feminine Blade
Millie took a deep look at Stefan, who was lying on the hospital bed. Even though he was in a sorry state, she didn't feel an ounce of pity for him.

The only kindness that she could muster at the moment was to hold back her emotions and not say anything hurtful. Whatever happened to him next would have nothing to do with her.

However, the thought of pouring her heart out to recount the past in an attempt to wake him up disgusted her.

"Stefan."

She gently brushed her hand over his oxygen mask. "If you end up not waking up, I will take care of Mrs. Leach Senior for you, so there's no need to worry about her. I will make sure she's cared for until the very end."

She stared at him from above, and her gaze had zero hint of warmth.

She talked to him for almost half an hour, but nothing changed. Finally, she left the room.

"Mrs. Leach Senior, I'm sorry. I tried talking to him about the past, but he's still…"

She put on a sad face when she said that. But before she could finish, the do

    "Are you jealous?""Yes, I am. I know you two have been through a lot. Stefan is like a thorn in my side. Every time he appears, it reminds me of how you put yourself in danger for him, over and over again. You don't even care about your own safety!"When you were inside talking to him, I was out here praying that he would never wake up again, that he would just die. I know it's a terrible thought, but I couldn't help myself. "What game is he playing at now? Is he pretending to have lost his memory and that he's gone back to the time he loved you most? What is he trying to do? Is he trying to take you away from me?"If he could get Mrs. Leach Senior to find you once, he could easily do that again. The thought of my fiancée repeatedly appearing in front of her ex just because of a call or a text is unbearable."Millie was taken aback by his outburst. It was rare for the usually reserved Pierce to say so much at one go. Normally, he would just bottle things up."Why aren't you kee

    Millie and Pierce sat at the dining table in silence. She ate quietly with her head lowered. After taking a bite, she noticed that the dish was bland.She quickly picked up the plate."This tastes a little off. Let me reheat it and add some salt to it.""There's no need for that. It tastes fine.""No! It's not!"Millie stubbornly took the dish back into the kitchen.She added a pinch of salt and reheated it."The plating doesn't look good. Let me use a different plate," she later said.And again, she added, "This doesn't taste right. It's too sweet. I'll add some water to it."Suddenly, Millie was bustling around the kitchen.If this were just an ordinary meal, and there were countless more to come, Millie wouldn't have cared as much.But this time, she knew he was about to go on a mission with no clear return date. Judging by the serious look on his face, she could tell it was a dangerous mission. She was terrified. That's why she wanted to make this last meal as perfec

    "Take good care of yourself. Make sure you eat or I'll worry," Pierce said to Millie."How long… How long till you'll be back?" Millie asked."I don't know. It could be a month. If longer… maybe three months. I'll definitely be back within three months."Three months. That was such a long time.But that was fine. Millie had plenty of days left in her life, so she could wait three months.She wanted to pack a suitcase for Pierce. But due to the urgency of his assignment and the fact that he needed to travel light, he ended up bringing only a backpack. Inside were a few sets of clothes and nothing else.Millie saw the gun that Pierce was bringing with him—the one that she applied for.She stroked the gun lightly. It was cold to the touch, without a hint of warmth.Millie pressed a kiss to the cool metal.She hoped the gun would protect Pierce in her place.Her lashes trembled. Tears slid down her cheeks uncontrollably, dripping onto the gun.Pierce witnessed the entire scene f

    Millie Jordan was about to experience what a woman would go through if she were abducted by a group of perverted kidnappers.A dark cloth was tied over her eyes and her mouth was taped shut. She shivered in a corner like a frightened animal. Her body was littered with cuts and bruises all over. The rope around her neck was only less than three feet long. If she moved any further forward, the rope would tighten around her neck, making her unable to breathe.She'd tried struggling many times before, but she always ended up breathless and blue in the face. Her voice was hoarse, and her throat hurt. She simply couldn't get away.She could hear the abductors angrily cursing at her outside the door. They had tried forcing themselves on her just now, but she fought back and bit one of them harshly in the throat. She'd bitten him so hard that his laryngeal bone nearly broke and she nearly killed him.That was the reason why she was beaten half to death and tied up in a corner like this.

    Verdier Club was a place Stefan often frequented to drink and hang out with his friends. Millie's conscience told her that the abductor had been lying to her, so she shouldn't be believing what he said. However, she just couldn't stop herself from coming over to have a look for herself.She had been with Stefan for three years and knew the private room he was often in. She rushed there at once."You lost, Ste! So, truth, or dare?""Truth.""Alright then. Who is the woman you love the most?""How's that even a question? Of course, it's Wanda.""Ooh!"Everyone in the private room started to laugh and riot.Millie stood outside the door, her face turning more pale with every second. Her legs felt like lead, and her hand hung mechanically in the air. She couldn't bring herself to knock on the door.A while later, the people in the room seemed to have played another round of "Truth or Dare", and the "Wanda" from before seemed to have lost."You lost, Wanda! So, truth, or dare?"

    Pierce extended his hand toward Millie. His fingers were long and slender, and he had a large palm.Millie was frozen in place when she heard his voice again. She was shocked. However, the drunk man rushed up to them just then. Still under the influence of alcohol, he yelled, "Are you fucking blind? Did you not see me standing there? I'm going to skin you…"Pierce said nothing. He handed the umbrella over to Millie and grabbed the drunk man, forcing his arms behind his back.Then, he pulled out his phone and called someone. A while later, the police officers from the nearby station showed up."This man harassed a young woman on the street. He should be a repeat offender. Take him back to the station as a fair warning to him.""Alright, we'll take care of him," the police officers said politely before taking the drunk man away.Millie should have grabbed the opportunity to run while Pierce was busy talking to the police. However, her legs refused to budge. She was still rooted t

    Pierce was on the phone with someone and didn't notice Millie coming out."Alright, I'll go shopping with you this weekend. I'm driving now, so I'm hanging up. Okay, I'll do whatever you say."Pierce gave off the impression that he was a tough guy who spoke his mind in an assertive way. However, he was now speaking gently into the phone with a ghost of a smile on his lips. Suddenly, he didn't look too intimidating anymore.He was most probably talking to someone he liked on the phone. Since he used to work with the law, he upheld it and didn't drive while talking on the phone.Millie looked like she'd just seen her savior. She hurriedly knocked on the driver's door.Pierce frowned and rolled the windows down. "What?" His voice was tinted with suspicion."I'm hanging up now. Something just came up. You can do whatever you want to me next time."Pierce seemed like he was trying to pacify the other person on the line before he hung up. Then, he stayed inside the car while looking a

    Millie was shocked. She hurriedly called for the nurses at once.Bill had just been eating a second ago, but now, he was being wheeled into the emergency ward. Meanwhile, the sanatorium also hurriedly called Bill's relatives to inform them of the matter.Millie waited anxiously outside the ward. About an hour later, someone arrived in a hurry."Officer Atkinson?""What are you doing here?"Pierce frowned when he saw Millie. Bianca hurriedly explained, "She's a regular volunteer here, and Bill loves her the most. He's been complaining of shallow breathing lately and often wakes up in the middle of the night. We never thought his condition would suddenly relapse…"Pierce didn't bother chatting with Millie and continued asking about his grandfather's condition instead. It was only then that Millie finally learned of Bill's full name—Bill Atkinson.Bill was later wheeled into the operating theater for an emergency operation. He was only wheeled out four hours later.By the time B

    Agnes had always been healthy and strong. However, after all that had happened lately, it felt like she had gotten much older all of a sudden. Her back was hunching more. Now, she had to rely on her walking stick.Robin left the room with them. When he noticed Pierce was still in the room, he didn't know what to do. After all, Millie and Pierce were currently a couple."Mr. Atkinson…" Robin decided to ask Pierce to step outside after a moment of hesitation. His priority at the moment was to save Stefan."Why don't you step outside?" Millie suggested first."Will you still be mine when you leave this room later?" Pierce asked.Millie replied somewhat exasperatedly, "Of course I'll still be yours. Go on. I will be out shortly."Upon hearing that, Pierce nodded and left the room. However, he was still worried. He could not tell whether this was Stefan's plan. After all, Pierce himself had pulled the same move before.Back then, Pierce would always use Bill as an excuse. Now, Agne

    The surgery went on for three hours, and Stefan was finally pulled back from the brink of death. A lack of oxygen supply to the heart had caused his body to go into shock. The doctors also managed to clear up a large amount of blood clots in his lungs.But what happened next was crucial. As he was still in a coma, they needed to get him to wake up as soon as possible.The longer he stayed in a coma, the more irreversible damage it could cause to his brain. In short, Stefan needed to wake up, and he needed to wake up fast.Agnes wiped the tears from the corner of her eye as she stared at the unconscious Stefan. This was not the time to cry. She had already experienced the pain of losing a daughter. She could not afford to lose him too.Agnes held his hand and said many things to him.As a child, Stefan had always been cheerful and smart. That was the reason why other family members liked him. As he aged, he slowly became more dependable."You have always been your parents' pride

    This time, Wanda was truly panicking. She had always managed to manipulate him, but Stefan was not having any of it now.After all, threatening to end one's own life could only work so many times.At that moment, the only feeling Stefan was left with was annoyance.Soon enough, the divorce papers were delivered.Wanda read through them and discovered that she was not leaving the marriage empty-handed. In fact, she would even receive a small fortune. She would still be able to lead a life of luxury even without Stefan. He had gone above and beyond with his terms.But Wanda was still unsatisfied. "Stefan, must you be so cruel? Have you forgotten our vows from before? You said you would love me forever. Have you forgotten all that?" she cried."But are you still the same Wanda from before? Or maybe you've always been this person, and I've just never truly known you. Wanda, sign these papers right now, and you can still receive everything listed in there. If you don't, then I'll dr

    Wanda had no choice but to bribe this driver. As long as she was successful in getting back her position tonight, then Stefan would not do anything to him on her account.The driver had also profited a lot. After all, money could move even mountains, and he was only human. He definitely did not have it in him to refuse. "I've brought Mr. Leach. When he sobers up tomorrow, please speak up on my behalf, ma'am." "Don't worry."After the driver had left, only the two of them were left inside the house. Wanda started removing Stefan's clothing, like how she had done many times before.Stefan became aware of the movements and groggily opened his eyes. He fixed his gaze on the person in front of him."M-Millie?" he murmured gently. This drove Wanda nuts. She wanted to stop everything right then. After all, she had her pride too. But, this was a rare opportunity. If she didn't go through with it tonight, who knew how long she would have to wait again. The most important thing she had

    "What happened between us already constitutes me taking advantage of you. I always thought we were referring to the same thing."Millie closed her eyes, nearly passing out again. This truly was one heck of a misunderstanding! "Forget it. The misunderstanding has been cleared now. Let's consider this chapter over.""Mills, you're also taking the initiative to get closer to me, right? You got the drug for yourself, yes?""That's a secret!""Can I hold you, Mills?" With that, Pierce gathered her back into his arms. Even though the action brought lustful ideas to the forefront of his brain again, he still wanted to hold her tightly.Kisses and embraces were important to women, especially when they were provided after sex. His chest was broad, warm, and exuded strength. To be held by him tightly gave her the sense that she was needed by him. It was a wondrous feeling. Eventually, Millie dozed off again.
