Upon Milly posing her question, Xavier’s expression shifted almost imperceptibly, as a fleeting glimpse of panic crossed his face.

It quickly dissipated and was replaced by a composed demeanour. His voice, however, retained a husky. subdued tone as he responded, “Nothing happened. I simply… had an epiphany.”

Milly rolled her eyes at his obvious excuse.

She wasn’t buying it for a second!

From his earlier behaviour, it was evident he was hiding something from her. Since he was not being honest, she figured she would not be able to get him to spill even if she pressed further. “Fine. If you don’t want to talk about it, then forget it.”

Xavier replied with a curt, “Mm.”

As he was about to leave, he paused at the door and turned back to fix Milly with a determined gaze. As though he feared she doubted him, he emphasised once more with resolve, “Milly, believe me. My earlier words about treating you well and considering you my only sister are genuine. I meant every single word. I understand you may still have doubts, and that’s okay. I’ll prove it to you through my actions.”

He left after saying that.

Milly watched his retreating figure and then glanced at the remnants he left behind, her eyes dark and inscrutable.

Meanwhile, Danny had just completed his report to George.

Stepping out of the hospital, he caught sight of a suspicious figure lurking near the entrance.

Narrowing his eyes, he immediately went on alert.

These persistent nuisances from the Ghost Sect seem relentless. Just when we let one go, another appears. Do they think our patience is endless?

Ha! Mr. Tate might have been lenient by letting one of them go, but I won’t be. This time, I’m determined to make an example of this intruder and teach the Ghost Sect a lesson they will never forget!
