Jordan seemed to come back to his senses and said, “Okay.”

His hand slowly moved away.

The sudden brightness made Milly flinch, having just adjusted to the darkness. She blinked several times, trying to get used to the light, and gradually felt more comfortable.

Milly wouldn’t gamble with her life.

She had already noticed the surveillance cameras, which was why she was so calm, knowing Stephanie wouldn’t succeed with her scheme.

Jordan’s voice was still hoarse as he answered, “Mmm, you’re brave and you’re not scared, but I am.”

Jordan, are you okay?”

This was the first time she’d seen him like this, and it unnerved her.

Jordan buried his face deeply into Milly’s shoulder, the warmth he felt barely pulling him back to sanity. Stephanie’s near–lifeless state just moments ago had brought back haunting memories of seeing Milly in

the morgue.

This time, he was here, and he would protect Milly.
