“Calm down. It’s not what you think. I’m sorry I lied to you. I admit that I really didn’t go on a business trip, but I wasn’t with Rhea. I was running a high fever, so I was hospitalized and given an infusion. I didn’t tell you about it because I didn’t want to worry you.”
He might really lose Millie if he kept hiding the truth from her.
Millie examined Marcus from head to toe, and her eyes watered a little because the man looked too healthy for someone who had just recovered from a high fever.
“You’re still lying to me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt cas a complete surprise to Marcus that Millie still did not believe him.
His heart sank when he saw the disappointment in her eyes. However, he had to convince her that he was telling the truth this time. God knew how much he missed her while he was hospitalized.
As it turned out, loving someone meant constantly craving their company. Marcus grabbed Millie’s hand.
“Let’s go to the hospital.”
“No, I’m not sick.” She assumed he thought she was losing her mind.
“We won’t be seeing a doctor, but I need to prove to you that I was in there for the last few days. The doctors and nurses can testify for me.”
Millie’s beautiful features flickered with astonishment before she felt something bumpy at the back of Marcus’ hand.
She looked down on it. His hand had a black and purple bruise on the back of it. It seemed that he was really given an infusion.
“[‘m not lying to you this time, Millie. I was really in the hospital getting an infusion. The bed there was very cold. I missed you so much, so I called you, but you didn’t even want to hear my voice.”
Millie kept her head down. Marcus sounded sincere. The bruise on his hand’s back was evidence of that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Rhea did cto seein the hospital, but I didn’t want to see her. I chased her away every time she came. Don’t worry. We’ll confront her about whatever she did.”
For a couple of minutes, nobody said a word.
Marcus declaring that he would confront Rhea only indicated that his conscience was clear.
Millie frowned; her thoughts were jumbled. She withdrew her hand and went to the kitchen. When she returned, she was carrying plates of dishes.
She would rather believe Marcus than Rhea, but she was still confused about why he hid the fact that he was sick from her.
He said he lied to her because he did not want her to worry, but she continued to have the impression that something was amiss.
The silence in the dining room was deafening as the two wordlessly ate their food.
Millie was at a loss for words, while Marcus was reluctant to speak for fear of upsetting her further.
