SWNOVELS Chapter 1359
Millie shook her head, her gaze shifting to Marcus's coat as_ she contemplated
her options.
She turned to Trenton and spoke gently. “Mr. Torres, please continue without us.
We'll join you later.”
Perplexed, Trenton saw Marcus nod in agreement.
After Trenton departed, Marcus immediately cupped her face and inquired,
“Darling, what's the matter?”
“I've got a stomach ache, probably because... well, you know.” Millie hesitated
before answering.
“But I rushed here and didn't bring the necessary stuff. Can I borrow your jacket
to wrap around my waist for a bit of coverage?”
She was dressed in just a sweater with a camisole underneath.
Marcus paused for a moment, taken aback. He'd heard about the intense
abdominal pain that women often experienced during their menstrual cycles, and
he understood it could be excruciating.
Without a second thought, he removed his jacket.
Millie took it and tied it around her waist, ensuring everything was secure.

“I'm alright. I can still manage.”
Millie shook her head. She didn't think they'd walk any faster if he carried her,
even though she wasn't heavy, weighing just over 100 pounds.
Marcus insisted firmly, “If you don’t hop on, I'll just carry you in my arms.”
Those words seemed to do the trick, and Millie obediently climbed onto his sturdy
back.
Marcus hoisted her onto his back, and it proved to be less strenuous than she
had expected. It appeared almost effortless for him.
“Do you think they'll continue pursuing us?”
Millie pushed branches aside as they walked and inquired softly.
