SWNOVELS Chapter 1375
While singing, Millie's voice gradually grew quieter, and she eventually drifted off
to sleep.
Suppressing his desire for intimacy, Marcus slid his hand under her warm
clothing, softly caressing her buttocks. When she let out a drowsy moan, he
withdrew his hand and tucked her in. He then planted a tender kiss on her
fragrant hair and settled into slumber, satisfied.
Simultaneously, in a local hotel, a tall, silver-haired elderly man stood before a
realistic mural featuring a fierce lion.
The old man's attire bore a yellow dragon embroidery on the front, and he
clutched a blood-red pearwood walking stick, which was heavy with complex
graphics and text.
At that moment, the door was softly pushed open, and a man in his sixties
entered.
The elderly man didn’t turn to acknowledge the newcomer.
“Brett, how is my grandson?”
“Sir, I've dispatched someone to the hospital for an update. Marcus was
ambushed by Ryan and Jonah, sustaining a gunshot wound to his arm. He
underwent surgery at the town hospital and is currently recovering there. The
gunshot injury isn't severe, but the Bloody Herbs poison has yet to be fully
treated.”
Victor pivoted on his crutch and headed towards the tea table.
The sound of the crutch striking the floor seemed to send shivers down Brett's
spine.
Brett promptly moved to position the chair correctly for Victor.
“What about that woman?”

“Are you referring to Millie? She has been by Marcus's side at the hospital
throughout.”
Victor snorted.
“He's risking his life for a woman. The Bloody Herb is exceptionally toxic. Doesn't
he grasp the gravity of the situation? I've urged him repeatedly to seek treatment
on the island, but he pays me no heed.”
