SWNOVELS Chapter 1296
This time, Millie couldn't utter a word.
The sound of his stern voice frightened her.
“I know. Today was an exception. I carried it because I was concerned about
potential danger. Please don’t be angry,” Millie explained in a soft voice.
In truth, she had confidence that Bruce wouldn't harm her when they met. If he
intended to harm her, he could have done it earlier.
Seeing Millie earnestly explaining herself, Marcus felt remorse for having angrily
interrogated her earlier. He had acted out of concern for her.
“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that,” Marcus said, placing his hand
on Millie's shoulder.
Deep down, he understood why Millie had met Bruce. She must have clung to a
glimmer of hope, thinking that since Bruce had planted the Bloody Herb, he might
possess the antidote.
As long as there was even a small chance, she wouldn't give up. Her
determination was evident in how she had risked everything to save her
grandmother.
Millie shook her head in response.
“It's alright. I know that I shouldn't have done that.”
Her lips were tightly pursed. A trace of disappointment was evident on her face,
and her fingers were visibly clenched.
Upon seeing how she reacted, Marcus sighed softly and pulled her into his
embrace.
“I understand your reasons. It actually moved me. But it was just too dangerous,
you know? You almost gave me a heart attack!” Marcus spoke in a loving voice.
He couldn't stand to see Millie hurt. If it made her happy, she could even punch
him.

Millie nodded, indicating that she understood what he meant.
“Why are you just nodding and not saying anything? Are you still upset?” Marcus
softened his tone again, showing his concern.
Women tended to get more emotional when appeased, and the more they were
pacified, the more they felt wronged.
Millie began to sniffle.
“You're incredibly annoying. You knew I had your gun, yet you skillfully coaxed
me into admitting it, making me appear foolish with all the missteps in my
performance.”

Taken aback, Marcus realized Millie was holding him responsible for
underestimating her strength.
He didn’t view her as weak. He was just afraid for her safety, fearing the slightest
chance of her getting hurt.
