“Millie, what brings you here? Trying to play the benevolent one?” Laurel, who
was present, sneered at Millie's arrival.
Roland shot Laurel a sharp glare.
“Laurel, you can leave now.”
Noticing that Roland was siding with Millie, Laurel stopped peeling her apple and
slammed it onto the table.
“Roland, how can you treat me this way? I know you got hurt saving Millie. Why
bother being nice to her now that she’s married? I wish she were gone.”
“Enough! What I do is my business, not yours!”
Roland's voice rose as he scolded, frustration evident in his tone. His sister knew
he was fond of Millie, but maliciously harmed Millie with a poison bug. Ever since
that incident, his feelings toward Laurel had cooled.

Additionally, upon her return, Laurel's behavior became demanding and
unbearable; she expected to be treated like royalty by the entire family.
As Roland berated her, tears welled in Laurel's eyes, Driven by his concern for
Millie, he sent Laurel away. If not for their shared past, she wouldn't have paid
then a visit in this backward village.
“Okay, fine; I will leave you alone.” Gathering her bag, Laurel hurried out of the
room.
Exiting the room, she spotted Marcus waiting at the door for Millie. Intimidated by
his imposing presence, she quickly fled.
Back in the room, Roland glanced at Millie with regret in his eyes.
“I apologize for her impulsiveness earlier. Don't take it personally,” he said, before
noticing the fruit in Millie's hand.
“You didn’t need to buy that; I'm not a fan of fruit. Save your money next time you
visit.”
Millie smiled, placing the fruit on the table.
“Are you feeling any better?”
“Much better; it doesn't hurt a bit. I'd leave the hospital now if the doctors would
let me,” Roland replied with confidence.
“Don't be in a hurry; stay a few more days to ensure a full recovery.” “Why would
someone want to kill you?” he asked, concern in his eyes,
Millie shrugged, dismissing his worries.
“It's a complicated tale, but there's no need to fret. He won't be coming back.
