Marcus said nothing, his grip on the phone tight.

Harlan’s inappropriate laughter filled the room.

“I was right, you are obsessed with that girl. She’s just a maid.

How could you care so much?”

Just a maid? Marcus’ cold glance silenced Harlan.

Shaking his head in bewilderment, Harlan continued to watch Marcus.

It was strange to see Marcus so affected by a woman. His nervousness over the phone had revealed the girl was with Bruce, and it unsettled Marcus.

Finally, Marcus spoke, his voice weary. “You can return to the island.

Once the medicine is developed, send it to me.”

“You’re leaving just because I know your secret?” Harlan asked, but Marcus provided no answer.

Back on the roadside, Bruce returned the phone to Millie and, with a frown, walked over to a haystack to smoke. As he lit his cigarette, his own phone rang. He glanced at the number and hung up, only for it to ring again.

Crushing out the cigarette, he picked up the call.

“You brat, you dared to deny my call? I know you’re with Millie.

Take her here. I will threaten Marcus with her.” Bruce exhaled a heavy breath.

“Using a woman as leverage? Act like a real man for once.”

With those words, Bruce let out a deep sigh and ended the call.

Millie approached, sensing something was amiss. She hadn’t been close enough to hear Bruce’s conversation with Jonah.

“What happened?”

In an instant, Bruce’s demeanor shifted. He had been laughing and talking happily in the car, but now his face was set in a cold expression, his eyes clouded with annoyance.

Bruce managed a strained smile. “Nothing to worry about. Let’s get back in the car and continue driving.”

That day, when he heard Jonah mention Millie’s name, a chill ran down his spine. He knew then that Jonah was intent on harming her.

Last night, he’d overheard Jonah giving an order to one of his subordinates to apprehend Millie.

Bruce’s appearance at the hospital gate earlier that day was no coincidence; he had wanted to ensure that Millie was not taken by Jonah.

If he could, he would protect her from any harm.
