Upon entering the house, Milly heard Jordan’s stern reprimand from inside. He roared, “Why do mean that Milly doesn’t deserve to ride in our car? Milly is the eldest daughter of the Burnetts, my own sister, and our parents‘ biological daughter. What makes her unworthy of riding in the car?

“Anthony. I’m warning you for the last time. Milly is my beloved sister. If anything happens to her, don’t blame me for not considering our bond as siblings!

He approached her quickly and embraced her tightly.

“Gosh! Milly, thank God that you’re alright.

“It’s my fault! I didn’t protect you well.”

He was truly frightened. When Anthony and Stephanie came home and Milly was not with them, he discovered that Anthony had left Milly alone and returned.
