Chapter 207 Reward or Punishme…?

Milly couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was staring at her intensely as soon as she sat down.

When she looked up

It was her third brother, Jeffrey!

He was sitting beside her, leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed, staring at her without any expression on his face. His eyes were dark and unreadable, not friendly at all.

Wait, actually, his gaze wasn’t directed at her but at Apollo!

Milly frowned. It suddenly hit her that Jeffrey was a medical prodigy, naturally sharp when it came to medicine. Seeing him look at Apollo like that, had he figured something out?

If he discovered Apollo was an experimental subject…

With that thought, Milly quietly turned to block Jeffrey’s view.

Jeffrey raised an eyebrow in slight annoyance, feeling his train of thought interrupted. He looked up and met a pair of smiling eyes. “Jeffrey, nice to meet you. I’m Milly.”

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t their first meeting, but it was the first time they actually talked.

After a steady glance from Jeffrey, he looked away without saying a word.

But Milly quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness he finally stopped staring. It had made her uneasy.

For once, she was glad her brothers weren’t fond of her.

Meanwhile, Philip waved his hand, and servants began to bring breakfast one after another.

Apollo had always relied on nutritional potions and liquid diets to survive. He had never really eaten at a table before. Despite Milly teaching him a lot after he returned, he still wasn’t used to utensils, preferring to eat with his hands.

To deal with this situation, Milly usually gave Apollo something like doughnuts or bagels for convenience. For other dishes, she fed him herself.

But with so many people around now, she couldn’t let Apollo attract too much attention or dare to feed him openly. To play it safe, she just handed him some bagels.
