Chapter 29

Chapter: 29 Millie went to bed peacefully and slept soundly until dawn.

When she woke up, she found that Marcus didn’t return last night. She went downstairs only to find Derek, Marchs’s assistant there.

“Madam, | was sent to retrieve a document for Mr. Thomas,” Derek said.

Millie stared at Derek, carefully sizing him up before giving a go-ahead nod.

After getting the document he was asked to get, Derek walked out of the study and was about to leave when Millie stopped him. “What happened last night? Where is he?” Millie asked when he turned back.

Derek looked away for a moment, uncomfortable and hesitant. “I’m sorry, Madam, but I’m not at liberty to tell you anything that concerns Mr. Thomas’ affairs. You should ask him directly.”

Millie’s mind started stirring. Rhea, who was an outsider, seemed to be quite welcomed and loved by the Thomas family. Did something happen between them last night?

Millie snorted inwardly. The position of the Thomas family’s mistress was decidedly highly sought after.

An embarrassed Derek observed Millie and read all her thoughts on her face. It was probably normal for her to overthink things, seeing as Marcus didn’t return last night.

Millie turned to leave, but was stopped by Derek’s voice.

“Madam, Mr. Thomas wouldn't do anything he shouldn't do. Do not let your mind create scenes,” Derek said to clear things up. After a slight acknowledging nod, Millie left.

At the hospital.

Claudia was returning to the country last night when she was attacked on the way home.

The attackers aggressively rammed their car into hers. Rhea, who was with her, managed to get out of the car with Claudia while the driver kept driving to draw the attackers away.

Rhea and Claudia took shelter in an alley and anxiously waited for Marcus to come and get them.

Rhea accidentally scraped her knee when they were escaping. Marcus stayed with her in the treatment room while the doctor took care of her injury. ©

The doctor finished applying the medicine and looked up at Marcus. “There’s nothing to worry about, Mr. Thomas. Miss Evans has not sustained any serious injuries. She will be just fine.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Marcus nodded, his eyes heavy with tiredness. He stayed at the hospital the whole night, watching over his grandmother whose blood pressure had spiked up thanks to the fright she received.

After the doctor left, Marcus looked down at Rhea and said, “Thank you for protecting grandma yesterday. I’m willing to pay you back with anything you want.
