Chapter 491

"Mills, what's wrong?" Pierce asked."Don't come any closer. Stay away… Go away…" Millie replied.Yet, Pierce still moved closer. To Millie, his face resembled that of a bloody pulp now. She was starting to hallucinate.Terrified, Millie frantically flailed her arms although her injuries were not fully healed. The overwhelming fear had dulled her sense of pain."Mills, it's me. Please look closer. It's me," Pierce slowly said.Gradually, Millie came back to her senses. She wasn't in the castle. There was no blood on the ground nor corpses scattered about. When her vision cleared, Millie finally saw Pierce for who he was, and a wave of anguish swept over her.She threw herself into his arms, tightly holding onto him. She trembled as tears slowly soaked his shirt, and she buried her face into his chest.She sobbed. "Pierce… Pierce, I killed so many people. I killed them… What should I do? My hands are covered in blood, and I can't ever wash it off."They deserved to die.

Millie had used to live a life of privilege. The worst thing she had probably ever encountered was a hooligan whistling at her or having her purse stolen by a pickpocket.The biggest scare she'd faced was probably being drugged and kidnapped, but she had never seen such gruesome sights as that night. And yet, for Pierce, the hands meant for sketching designs had now taken up a gun without hesitation to fight off enemies.Deep down, Pierce was wracked with guilt.He pulled Millie out from under the bed and tightly held her. "It's just fireworks.""Fireworks?" Millie murmured, dazed as she sank onto the bed.But then, another burst of fireworks sounded from a distance, prompting her to hide again. She flinched violently, instinctively trying to hide, but Pierce firmly held on to her shoulders, keeping her in place."Don't hide," he said in a hoarse voice. His reddened eyes stared at her, filled with anguish. His guilt was unbearable.Millied sobbed and said, "But… But I'm scared

During this period, no one was allowed to disturb Millie or the psychiatrist.The psychologist had also prescribed mild sedatives to assist with the hypnosis. After taking it, Millie felt light-headed.She couldn't explain the sensation that followed. At times, she thought she could hear the rhythmic crashing sounds of waves or the soothing hums of a religious chant. Sometimes, it was a child's playful laughter, and other times the calming patter of raindrops.Millie felt lost in a surreal haze. She had no concept of time and did not know if hours or days had passed. Eventually, the darkness swallowed her whole and she drifted into a deep sleep. "Doctor! She's been unconscious for two days. Why hasn't she woken up?" Pierce questioned the psychiatrist.Pierce sat by Millie's bedside, tightly holding her hand. He was worried sick."Everyone reacts differently to hypnosis," the psychiatrist calmly explained. "Lethargy is a common response. It's normal for most people to sleep for t

"Mills…" Pierce felt his heart completely melt. Millie's way of proving herself moved him beyond words. Overcome with emotion, Pierce leaned closer and deepened the kiss.After a while, he reluctantly let go of her lips while holding her face. "Did you really… Or have you not… "Forgotten me. But before he could say these words, Millie lightly shook her head. She vaguely remembered being hypnotized but wasn't sure what she had forgotten.Her head felt heavy and foggy. But one thing was certain—her heart raced uncontrollably when she opened her eyes and saw this man before her.Pierce was over the moon when he heard this. If Millie's ribs had healed completely, he might've lifted her and spun her around."It worked, didn't it?" Pierce said."I don't know… All I remember is the chaos in the castle. I passed out, and when I woke up, I found out you'd broken my ribs, and I was hospitalized with serious injuries.""That's enough… " Pierce said, satisfied beyond measure.He ha

"Lowell Atkinson is his illegitimate son. He's my brother from another mother!"At the next moment, Bill got so mad that he sprung to his feet. He had a strong urge to run after Donald and demand an explanation. However, he was held back by his good sense and sank back down on the couch in dejection. "H-How many people are aware of this?" In truth, Bill just wanted to know if Melissa was aware of this."Mom doesn't know about this, Grandpa. With that said, I don't mind making a fuss and telling everyone about it if he oversteps his boundaries."Bill pursed his lips. He wanted to say something, but he eventually held his tongue back. He shut his eyes and said in a dispirited tone, "Forget it. This is all bad karma. It was my fault for doing what I did back then."Melissa had had feelings for someone else all those years ago, but no one in the family supported her love life. Donald was the only heir to the Atkinson family. Meanwhile, Bill had made too many enemies in his life, an

Donald was a real class act too. He actually didn't lay a finger on Melissa for three long years. No ordinary person could've done something like this. It was solid proof that he actually had a deep respect and love for her.Be that as it may, Melissa eloped once more, and the whole city knew about it this time. Everyone made fun of Donald for getting cuckolded, and he couldn't take such a humiliation. He had shown more than enough concession for her, and yet she had given him nothing. Donald wanted to take revenge on Melissa, and he saw Pierce's mom, Rose Durham, as his way to do just that. Rose and Melissa were best friends. Naturally, she didn't have any fantasies about Donald. However, that didn't stop the heartless monster from ravaging her.The next day, Melissa caught Rose sleeping on her bed with her husband. Rose pleaded for Melissa to believe in her innocence. Regrettably, no amount of explanation could make Melissa believe her. Just like that, she was branded a

"Samantha is just an adoptive daughter, and yet you showed her the utmost care and affection. Why can't you be kinder to your own brother then? "Lowell is innocent. I'm the one who has done wrong by you. Why do you have to drag him into this?" Donald asked."As you wish, I'll settle my score with you then. I'll give Lowell a chance to make a name for himself if you take your own life as a way of apology," Pierce simply said."D-Did you just ask your own father to kill himself?""Hmm? What's wrong with that?" Pierce raised an eyebrow and glared at Donald with blood-chilling malice. "Y-You…" Donald was so infuriated that he couldn't form a coherent response. "If you can't bring yourself to do it, you have no one else to blame but yourself when I snuff out every opportunity that might fall in his path. Atkinson Group doesn't concern Lowell in the least, not even if I run it to the ground."I am the one in charge now!""Pierce Atkinson!" Donald was beside himself with rage. Pi

"Mr. Atkinson is still in a meeting. Please wait for him in the guest room, Mr. Leach. Give me a minute, and I'll brew you some tea."Millie was standing in front of the CEO's office when Stefan came out of one of the elevators. He had lost a lot of weight, and his face looked much paler. He also didn't expect to see Millie here. He clicked his tongue and said, "What a coincidence."Millie didn't respond. Instead, she straightaway opened the door and walked in as if he was just another stranger. Stefan's eyes darkened as he watched her disappear from his sight.However, Millie didn't let this bother her. After all, Atkinson Group and Leach Group were two of the biggest players in the city. It would be impossible for them to have zero business transactions with each other. For that matter, the Atkinsons and Leaches would never become actual enemies and let the other competitors take advantage of them. After all, collaboration was the key to consolidating one's standing in the b

Curiously, Millie wanted to have lunch at the cafeteria in Atkinson Group. "I didn't have anything for breakfast, and I'm starving. Let's go now." Millie relied on a wheelchair whenever she went outside. If she was in the Atkinson residence, she could still support herself on the railing or lean against the wall to walk. Now, Millie no longer felt pain in her rib area. She'd even be able to remove the metal plate after a certain period of recovery. Pierce wheeled her into the hallway, and both of them chatted happily. Occasionally, Millie would turn around and look at him, and her eyes would be sparkling every time she did.Meanwhile, Stefan was standing nearby. The sight of them was enough to shatter his heart. He didn't dare to tell anyone that he had remembered everything. After Wanda had reprimanded him in a huff, he'd gone home and had a high fever. When he eventually regained consciousness, his memories came flooding back as well. Stefan wished that he hadn't gotte
