Burning Passion: Love Never Die

As Millie went to handle the discharge paperwork, she passed by a ward where
Nancy called out to her.
“Millie, stop!”
Turning, Millie saw a middle-aged man and woman standing beside Nancy.
Upon noticing Millie's unwillingness to enter, Nancy's voice dripped with scorn.
“You don't dare to come in after doing something wrong? Millie, I really look down
upon you.”
Millie's eyes flicked to Nancy's injured hand, thinking that she got what she
deserved.
Finally, she stepped into the ward. If she wasn't mistaken, the middle-aged
couple were Mr. Fairclough and his wife, whom she recognized from a
newspaper.
Millie couldn't help but laugh. “It's so funny. You clearly lifted a stone only to drop
it on your own foot-or rather, smash your own hand. In the end, you gained
nothing. You must be filled with regret now.”
Millie had pieced together the events of the previous night. Had Marcus not
intervened, the henchmen under Rhea and Nancy's command would not have
released her.
Suddenly, Nancy had rushed forward to take the blow. What Nancy truly wanted
was for Marcus to lay blame on Millie, but he surprisingly believed her instead.
“You...”
Nancy was visibly irate at Millie's audacity to mock her, clenching her fists tightly.
Had there not been others present, she would have leaped out of bed to slap
Millie.
With swift control, Nancy composed herself, adopting a pitiful expression as she
turned to the people next to her.
“Mr. and Mrs. Fairclough, please take a seat.”
The Faircloughs exchanged glances and frowned.
“Nancy, did she hurt your hand?” Mr. Fairclough asked, his eyes narrowing as he
regarded Millie with clear displeasure.
His eyes were sharp, Millie noted, as if piercing through her.
“Yes, it was she who smashed my hand with a chair,” Nancy said, lowering her
head and speaking in a feeble voice. “She knew well that I've been designing
jewelry for the wedding.”
Her tone was such that anyone who observed the scene would undoubtedly feel
sympathy for her.
