I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 526
Millie stayed in the hospital for two days before she could finally be transferred to another one. She felt that she was fine, but Pierce insisted that she needed more time to recover.On the day of her discharge, a police car was parked at the hospital entrance—a police officer had come by to see her off."Thank you for helping our city crack such a major human trafficking case, Pierce. We really appreciate your hard work!" the police officer said."I'm just doing what I should do," Pierce replied.He then bid a simple farewell and was about to leave with Millie when an elderly woman with a head of white hair suddenly rushed out of the police car. It was the old woman who had bought her..She wailed, "I'm sorry! What I did was wrong! Don't take James away. It was all my idea…"Millie instantly took a step back. Merely being touched by her made Millie feel repulsed."What's her situation? Why isn't she locked up like the rest of them?" Millie asked.The police officer explain

Samantha thought that even if Millie was rescued, she might already be pregnant with the child of some lowly man from the countryside by then. At that point, even if Pierce didn't mind it, Millie probably couldn't bring herself to stay by his side.Even if they did find out that she was behind this, Samantha was no longer just a member of the Atkinson family. Besides, what could Pierce possibly do to her when she was now Mrs. Leach?Soon, Tobias came to find her. "Mrs. Leach, Pierce wants to see you.""I'm not going. When I begged him to see me previously, he refused. I'm not going to entertain him now just because he wants to see me. "Leave. I don't want to see you as well," Samantha haughtily said. She put on an act, banking on the fact that Tobias had always been afraid of her and would just helplessly leave.But to her surprise, Tobias reacted differently this time. "If that's the case, then pardon me for being rude."With that, he ordered two bodyguards to forcibly escort

"Are you so angry that you've lost your mind?" Samantha cautiously asked. Pierce had been on the verge of losing his temper just moments ago. Yet, he was suddenly calm and spoke to her in a perfectly even tone.Pierce replied, "No, I'm perfectly clear-headed. Go home, Samantha. You've helped me quite a lot this time. If it weren't for you contacting those people, how else would I have been able to uproot them completely?""R-Really?" Samantha nervously stuttered.Why did it feel like Pierce had become a completely different person?"Leave now. I have other matters to take care of," Pierce dismissively said.Samantha had expected a heated argument with Pierce when she arrived, but everything turned out to be eerily calm in the end. So, she left without hesitation, not daring to linger."Pierce, what are you doing?" Tobias looked at him in confusion."What? Are you wondering why I didn't punish her in some way? What could I do? Cut ties with her? Announce that she's no longer an

Pierce's payback toward Samantha was absolutely savage."Any other questions?" Pierce asked with a raised brow."No… I'll see to it immediately," Tobias replied. He was happy to let Samantha suffer. Even though he had his doubts, he didn't voice them.After Tobias left, Pierce sat in his chair. He slowly spun it around as he gazed at his spacious office. He had sat here before, overlooking the countless people below. But this time, his mindset was different.This time, he wouldn't be reckless. Everyone who had wronged him would pay the price!Millie's injuries weren't too serious. So, after resting for two days, she had almost fully recovered. The wound on her thigh was only superficial too. As long as she diligently applied medicine, it would heal quickly.Millie had already moved back to the villa. She didn't think much of what had happened and assumed it was just an unfortunate incident. She believed that she'd simply been chosen by traffickers by chance.It wasn't until sh

Millie felt bad for Pierce. She comforted, "It's okay. From now on, you have me, don't you?""Yeah. I'm glad to have you," Pierce replied with a nod.After taking a shower and changing into clean pajamas, Pierce lay down beside Millie, who had just finished getting ready for bed too. As Millie lay next to Pierce, she could feel the heat radiating from his body.Of course, she couldn't sleep. She stayed up all night watching over Pierce. As his fever worsened, she fed him some paracetamol and wiped his sweat away for him. She barely got any sleep herself.It wasn't until his temperature dropped that she drifted off into a light slumber.…The next morning, faint light seeped through the gap between the curtains.Pierce had a strong body, so he'd almost fully recovered from the cold overnight. He propped himself up slightly and looked down at the exhausted figure in his arms. Millie had worked hard to take care of him last night.Pierce gently stroked her face, tracing his

"I'll get it for you," Millie replied.She then brought a glass of water to Pierce. Pierce had wanted Millie to feed him mouth-to-mouth, but unfortunately, his body wouldn't allow it.Even though Pierce didn't go to work, he still had to handle some work from home. He couldn't slack off for even a moment. Hence, Piercy was very familiar with Atkinson Group's operations and adapted quickly. Even Tobias didn't notice anything unusual.As he focused intently on his work, Millie picked up a sketchpad and began drawing him, as she had nothing else to do. With just a few strokes, Millie outlined his features before gradually adding more details.The only sounds in the room were Pierce's rhythmic tapping on his keyboard and the soft scratching of Millie's pencil against the paper.The sounds of them focusing on their respective work sounded like a harmonious symphony. They both shone and demonstrated exceptional talent in their own fields.Soon, Millie was more or less done, and onl

Stefan took care of Wanda's living arrangements and provided her with a monthly allowance of several hundreds of thousands of dollars. He also hired a maid, a bodyguard, and a driver to be at her disposal.However, he couldn't divorce Samantha just yet. After all, her prestigious status was beneficial to Leach Group.Of course, Wanda wasn't happy about this. However, she understood that Stefan had just gotten married. If he divorced Samantha so soon, it would only bring trouble upon both of them.So, she decided to be patient.Stefan admitted that during his marriage, Samantha had tried to seduce him multiple times. But he also claimed that he had never given in and that his feelings for Wanda were genuine.He insisted that after their divorce, Samantha had been the one to take the initiative. And because he had lost his memory, he had foolishly ended up marrying her.Once he regained his memories after the wedding, he regretted it immediately.Similar to how Wanda could twist t
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 533
However, Wanda kept hoping that she would conceive. It even slowly evolved into an obsession for her. That was exactly why Stefan wanted to torment her with it. He had sworn that he wouldn't let Wanda have an easy life. Poverty was nothing compared to what he had in store for her.He wanted to pit Samantha and Wanda against each other. One was the neglected Mrs. Leach, the other was the lover showered with affection yet doomed to be infertile for life.Watching them fight would be quite a spectacle.Stefan would stand by and watch indifferently from the sidelines. He wanted to be the spectator who enjoyed the show of the two women tearing each other apart.The thought of it amused him.The only disgusting part was having to be intimate with them."Mr. Leach…" Mark hesitantly spoke up from the driver's seat."What is it?" Stefan asked."I feel like you're not the same as before, sir. You seem burdened, and you're not as happy as you used to be. Also, I noticed a few strands

Millie gently closed the box.Suddenly, a single tear slipped down, landing silently on the surface. Only then did Millie realize that she had been crying. She wasn't sure if she was mourning the love she once had or if her tears were for something else entirely.No wonder Pierce had told her to look at it in private. He didn't want to see her shedding tears for another man."It's all in the past. Why send this now?" Millie murmured.She wiped away her tears and picked up her phone. "Tobias, do me a favor. Auction something for me. Donate every last cent of the proceeds to charity. Not a single penny should be kept."She then ended the call and looked at the small box again. At least this way, it would be put to good use…Afterward, Millie headed to the study to check on Pierce. He watched her closely, his deep eyes unreadable.Millie pretended not to notice and said, "You keep working. I'm just going to sketch for a while."Pierce pressed his lips together as if he wante

Millie followed Pierce back home. As she stepped into the familiar space that belonged to just the two of them, her heart felt heavy with emotions.It had been two months since she had last been here, yet everything remained unchanged. Even the wardrobe had been stocked with new seasonal outfits.In those two months, Millie had lost a lot of weight. So, Pierce instructed the kitchen to prepare nourishing meals for her. He was determined to bring her back to full health.Pierce remained bedridden for another half month before he could finally use a cane to walk around a bit. His right leg was still severely injured, and every step sent searing pain through his body, making his face go pale and his forehead damp with cold sweat.Millie couldn't bear to watch him suffer and urged him to rest. But Pierce was stubborn and walked until his legs trembled, and he could no longer stand. Only then would he sit down."Does it hurt?" Millie worriedly asked."It doesn't. I just need to pr

With that, Millie turned around and left without hesitation. But just as she was about to step out of the room, Stefan's voice called out behind her once more, "Millie, I owe you an apology for everything. I never really said it before. It's late… but at least I'm finally saying it. "Millie, I'm sorry. I was the one in the wrong." Stefan's voice was soft, weakened by his injuries. It sounded as though those few words had drained all the strength from his body.Millie's body stiffened, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists at her sides.Stefan was apologizing at long last.Millie wanted to turn around to see if he was truly sincere or if this was just another one of his manipulations. However, she held herself back. Unimportant people didn't deserve even a second glance.Millie didn't say anything. She didn't say whether she would or would not forgive him. She just walked away.Stefan's face turned even paler. He knew that after everything he had done, he would never

Millie didn't want to see Pierce struggling alone, bottling up all his pain like a wounded lion licking its wounds in solitude.Upon hearing her words, Pierce simply tightened his embrace around her. "Mills… I'm scared…""I know. I understand," Millie whispered, gently patting his back."I'm afraid I won't be able to lift you anymore, and I'm afraid I won't be able to run or jump. I'm scared I won't be able to fight the bad guys and protect you anymore." Pierce's voice was soft and barely above a whisper. His sorrow was almost imperceptible, but it could be because he still hadn't fully released his emotions.Millie started, "You still have me. If you can't carry me, then don't. If you can't run fast or jump high, then I'll slow down and walk beside you. I can be your crutch and your support for a lifetime, okay?"And listen, Pierce, you may not be able to fight on the front lines anymore, but you're still there in spirit. We can move to the back lines to provide funding and strat

Pierce didn't tell Millie everything—such as the fact that Stefan had initially wanted to kill him. He spared Stefan some dignity, not wanting Millie to hate him forever.Millie stayed in the hospital to care for Pierce for two days when there was finally a change in Stefan's condition.Before he even regained consciousness, he was already calling her name. Robin anxiously rushed in to find Millie, and she hurried over."The patient's wound has gotten infected, leading to complications. We need to start emergency treatment immediately!""How could this have happened? Wasn't he supposed to wake up?" Robin was beside himself with worry."Millie… Millie…" Even in his fevered delirium, Stefan kept murmuring her name.Millie went over to him. His hand, which had been weakly grasping at the air, finally caught hold of something—her fingers. He clung to her tightly."I'm here, Stefan," she softly uttered.It was as if her words held some kind of magic, as Stefan immediately calmed d

Every word Pierce spoke was firm and impactful. Each word hammered on Stefan's heart mercilessly.Pierce owned up to his mistakes. But what about him? Could he do the same?All this while, he had been shifting the blame to everyone else. He blamed Pierce for stealing Millie away. Then, he blamed Millie for not forgiving him. He even blamed Wanda for seducing him, and the list went on…He had blamed so many people, holding onto their faults while conveniently brushing aside his own. When it came to himself, he always found a way to justify his actions. He completely ignored that he was the true cause of everything.Stefan's grip on Pierce's collar loosened. He took a few steps back in a daze and stumbled on his own feet, causing him to nearly fall to the ground."Those criminals… They're planning to strike again. I agreed to help them," Stefan said."Why are you telling me this?" Pierce responded."She said… She said that if you died, she wouldn't live either." Stefan's voice was

Millie gave Pierce a profound look that contained a myriad of emotions. Pierce could have been selfish and not tell her any of Stefan's good deeds. He could've even stopped her from visiting Stefan. Yet, he didn't do that.After giving Pierce one heavy nod, Millie went over to the adjacent hospital room.Stefan was seriously injured too. His health wasn't as good as Pierce's to begin with, so he still hadn't woken up yet.Robin was in his room, sitting beside him. He kept silently wiping away tears at one side."This is my only nephew. If anything were to happen to him, how would I face his late parents?" Robin mournfully said."Does Grandma know about this?" Millie inquired."I don't have the heart to tell Mom about this. She's old and frail. I don't want her to have a breakdown," Robin replied."I'll keep him company, Robin," Millie said.Robin hesitated for a moment and ultimately nodded. He believed that Stefan would want to see Millie upon waking up. So, Millie staye

"Don't move around. You're still very weak. The doctor said to give you some oatmeal porridge when you wake up. Your digestive system is still quite weak, so you need to eat something that goes down easily."A familiar voice sounded in Millie's ears."G-Grandpa? Why are you here? Where's Pierce? Pierce? Pierce…" After a moment of silence, Millie mumbled, "I forgot… Pierce is dead. Not even his body remains.""What nonsense are you speaking, child? Isn't he lying right beside you?" Bill interjected.Millie visibly froze for a second. Then, she whipped her head around to look. As Bill had said, Pierce was indeed right beside her. Layers of gauze were wrapped around his body, and he seemed to be heavily injured. However, his vital signs were steady, and his heartbeat was rhythmic—he was no longer in a critical condition."Pierce…" Millie tumbled out of bed without a care for the pain in her limbs.Bill quickly went over to support her and combined their beds together."H-How is t

Millie broke down emotionally. She was done with Stefan's constant self-righteous justification. He always blamed everyone else and deemed himself free of any wrongdoing. He acted as if the whole world had wronged him, while he had never wronged anyone.He painted himself as the pitiful and innocent victim, twisting logic to justify everything he did.Millie was done acting her part. She would let things play out however they should. There was no longer anything tying her to this world. If anything happened to Pierce, she wouldn't live either. Just the thought of being imprisoned by Stefan for three years was worse than death.And so, she locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Every day, the housekeepers delivered her meals. She had no appetite but still ate well.Millie also no longer cared whether Stefan had drugged her food or not. If she turned into a mindless lunatic, maybe that would be better than this painful clarity.…Days passed one after another.One
