Milly had no plans to linger, particularly because she wasn’t acquainted with any of Ken’s friends. Her sole aim was to deliver a gift and depart.

Yet, as Ken observed her getting ready to leave, he grew unexpectedly worried. “Hold on, Milly, now that you’re here, why not join us for dinner? I’ve arranged a table and the meal is prepared. It would be regrettable for you to depart so promptly.

Upon noticing her pallid complexion, Ken promptly offered reassurance. “It’s alright, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have pulled you without your consent.”

Milly, grappling with guilt, asked about his hand. “Is your hand alright?”
