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!

“Go find her! All of you! No one will rest until Milly is found!”

No one dared to say a word.

Milly’s heart thumped violently. She felt a warmth wash over her and envelope the cold indifference within her.

She had always thought of herself as a solitary soul roaming in this world, capable of brushing off any insults or mistreatment.

The noisy living room fell silent instantly.

Standing in the center of the room with a stoic expression, Jordan heard her voice and slowly turned around. As he laid eyes on the girl at the door, his tense demeanor softened.

He approached her quickly and embraced her tightly.

Jordan reacted as if he had found a lost treasure.

“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.
