Danny’s lips twitched. “Um… will this really work?”

George chuckled, his demeanour light, as if he was in a good mood. “Don’t worry. Anthony will buy into it for now, though I don’t think this can be hidden for long. After all, Jordan is pretty smart, and he might catch on soon. But that’s beside the point. What matters is whether Milly likes me. Others‘ opinions don’t

concern me.

“In fact, it’s a positive development.”

Seeing George smiling so confidently, Danny was further perplexed. “Positive? How so?”

How could this be seen as positive?

Mr. Tate must have lost his mind. His future brother–in–law was here to pay him to leave Milly, not to offer him a dowry!

George chuckled softly. “Why wouldn’t it be positive? If Anthony knows that I exist, it means Milly must have mentioned me to him. It shows that I hold a place in her heart. Isn’t that great news?”

Danny contemplated for a moment. From a certain perspective… it did make sense. “I’ll go inform Mr. Anthony now.”

If I don’t act quickly, the security guards might take action!

What was Mr. Anthony thinking, dressing completely in black to scout a location? The more he tries to conceal himself. the more conspicuous he becomes. Did he learn to dress up like that from television? Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

But TV characters don’t wear all high–end brands. Mr. Anthony was fully clad in limited–edition designer wear. If the security guards hadn’t recognised his worth from his outfit, they would have intervened already!

“Wait!”

Just as Danny was about to turn away, George stopped him. “What about William? Has he caused any trouble?”

Danny responded, “No. Mr. William has been at the FX e–sports training base. He’s been very dedicated. Starting as a trainee, he’s now a substitute on the main team, and he’s also highly regarded by the coach.

“Oh, and we’ve finalised the purchase of the entire FX club by Tate Group, and FX is now part of Tate Group. As you suggested keeping it a secret, only a few top executives at FX and our team know. Even Mr. William’s coach and manager are unaware of this. Should we inform Mr. William?”

George’s tone turned stern. “No need. He insisted on skipping college to pursue e–sports, aiming to bring honour to the nation and become a national star before returning home, right? So just let him play. I want to see when he achieves national fame.”

Danny awkwardly smiled.

Clearly, George cared deeply for William. He bought the FX club to shield them from the higher–ups the headquarters forcing unwanted endorsements and ads on them, which would disrupt their training- Essentially, he aimed to protect William from unnecessary pressures.

Look at how Mr. Burnett treats Ms. Milly–he never speaks harshly to her and always addresses her gently. If Mr. Tate treated Mr. William with even half as much kindness as Mr. Burnetts shows Ms. Milly, they wouldn’t still be at odds.

Unable to hold back, Danny added softly, “Actually, Mr. William is quite popular now. He has millions of followers on Twitter, and there are active fan discussions…”

George snorted. “Hmph, so what if he has millions of followers? Can that put food on the table? Wouldn’t it be better for him to attend a good university and return to manage the company?”

Danny sighed inwardly but didn’t say anything.

Mr. Tate kept saying no, but in the end, he still agreed to let Mr. William go just one day after he started a hunger strike…

And if I’m not mistaken, the official photo of Mr. William in his FX team uniform was taken on Mr. Tate’s desk in his office.

This is a perfect example of someone who’s more bark than bite.

On the day Milly left the hospital, it was quite a scene. Her siblings, aside from Stephanie and Matthew, came to see her off. Even Jeffrey came.

Approaching her bedside, Jeffrey gently placed his index and middle fingers on her wrist to check her pulse. After a moment, he said, “The wound has healed. You’re ready to be discharged.”

Milly looked at him with a hint of confusion. “Can you really tell regarding my superficial wounds just from my pulse?”

Jeffrey’s lips curled slightly, his eyes obscured by the reflection on his glasses. “Of course I can.”

Milly fell silent.

The exchange seemed straightforward, but she could not shake the feeling that Jeffrey’s words held a deeper meaning. His expression, however, revealed nothing

Am I imagining things?

Apollo, who had not seen Milly in a while, stayed close to her side, whining and refusing to leave even for a

moment.

“Ah–woo, ah–woo…”

Jordan had hesitated to bring Apollo to the hospital while Milly was unconscious, fearing it might cause a scene. If someone with bad intention noticed them, he would not be able to control the situation even if he had all the power in the world, so he had to delay it time and time again.

His plan was to wait until Milly was home before reuniting her with Apollo. However, due to not seeing Milly for a long time, Apollo became increasingly distressed; he even refused food and water, and his behaviour grew erratic, to the point that the bodyguards struggled to manage him, so Jordan had no choice but to bring him to the hospital ahead of plan.

Milly looked at Apollo, who clung to her arm and had noticeably lost weight. She sighed softly, feeling both sadness and frustration as she said, “I told you to eat properly, didn’t I? Why didn’t you listen? Hmm?”

She playfully tapped his nose after speaking.

Apollo tilted his head, holding onto her arm tightly and whining again. “Ah–woo, ah–woo…

Milly couldn’t help but laugh at his antics. “Don’t think you can get away with this by being cute. If you don’t listen and be a good boy, I might have to punish you!”

“Ah–woo, ah–woo…

“How about we have a meal together once we’re home? What would you like to eat?”

“Ah–woo, ah–woo…

Their conversation, despite the language barrier, flowed naturally, creating a warm and affectionate atmosphere.

Shortly after, Ivan, who went to deal with the paperwork, returned with the discharge papers and handed. them to Jordan. ‘Mr. Burnett, the discharge process is complete. Ms. Milly can leave now.”

Jordan took the papers and quickly reviewed them before replying, “Good.”

Milly’s eyes brightened at the thought of leaving the hospital. I can finally be discharged! Yay! I was about to die of suffocation here. Although I am in a VIP ward, the smell of disinfectant really makes my stay very unpleasant.

But then, her expression dimmed. If I leave, does that mean I won’t be able to see George anymore?
