Chapter 188 Although I'm Crippled, My Spirit Isn't Milly was about to rush after Xavier to clarify things, but Xavier seemed uninterested in talking to her and headed upstairs instead.
The situation was getting weirder and weirder.
Did the plot of the change? Or did my being trapped in the book cause a butterfly effect? Ugh! Frustrated. Milly pulled her hair as she collapsed onto the sofa. If she had known she would end up trapped in the book, she wished she had just read and memorised the entire instead, so she wouldn't have to guess what was going on now.
Just then, a ghostly cry echoed from the doorway.
"Jordan, you have to believe me! I swear on my honour that I have no ulterior motives towards Milly! I'm not sbeast! "And besides, we're related by blood! Even if I were a beast, I wouldn't dare lay a hand on my own sister! You know how those public accounts are like; they're drawn to news like flies to dung, afraid they'd lose out on the juicy gossip. I've already let Clark handle it. Trust me, by tomorrow morning, the trending topic will be gone! "Jordan, please! I've been kneeling for a whole day! Just believeand unfreeze my card. Please, Jordan have mercy on me!" Jonathan kept pleading.
Milly turned around and saw Jordan approaching her with an icy aura surrounding him, his brows furrowed deeply.

What's going on? Jonathan's eyes snapped towards Milly sitting on the couch, and suddenly, he felt his waist and legs no longer ache. He slid over to her side and began wiping away tears.
"Sob... Milly, believe me! I would never dare touch you! My heart is pure and true, loyal and unwavering! It's like the purest heart of a newborn baby!" Milly was perplexed.
These words carry a positive meaning, but why do they feel strange? And it sounds like a weird tto say them.
"Jonathan, what's wrong? Slow down," she uttered.
Jonathan sniffled and pitifully wiped his tears. "Sob... Jordan froze my card and madekneel for a whole day! My knees are still sore now... I might be crippled, Milly! Sob!" Chapter 188 Although I'm Crippled, My Spirit Isn't He wasn't that upset earlier, but hearing Milly consoling him, his emotions erupted, making him a sobbing mess.
Hearing his deafening sobs, Milly didn't think it was an act. Her expression changed instantly. "Crippled? Let's go to the hospital right away!" Jonathan hesitated for a moment before trying to lift his pant leg to show her his bruised knees. But he only got halfway before hearing a sound. "Ahem!" The man standing nearby narrowed his eyes menacingly, his gaze like ice.
Jonathan froze immediately.
"Haha... Milly, although I'm crippled, my spirit isn't... um, I mean, it seems my legs are fine... I'll just apply shydrogen peroxide later.
Ugh, Jordan really favours sisters over brothers! How despicable! Hmph! Milly didn't notice Jordan's cold demeanour and was still worried about Jonathan's leg. Hearing him saying he might be crippled to him saying he was okay, she frowned slightly, unsure if she should trust him.
"You're okay? For real? You were just saying you might be crippled!" Her words had barely fallen when a soothing voice echoed from behind her, accompanied by the faint scent of milk. "Don't listen to him. His legs are perfectly fine." Then a box of exquisite cakes was presented to her.
"The new cake shop downstairs has just opened, and I saw many girls waiting in line. I thought you might like it too. Want to try some?" Milly's eyes sparkled with joy as she took the cake. "Thank you, Jordan. How did you know I've been craving cake lately?" No girl could resist the temptation of petite cakes! And this was no ordinary cake. Jordan had gone out of his way to buy it, and the affection behind it surpassed the value of the cake itself! Seeing her happy eyes as she hesitated to open the cake box, Jordan couldn't help but smile. He playfully ruffled her hair and said, “Eat it while it's fresh! If you like it, I'll bring you sback from work every day." Milly nodded with a smile. "Okay" of Seeing that Jordan easily diverted Milly's attention with a petite cake, Jonathan suddenly felt a pang jealousy. He sniffed disdainfully and started to compare himself. "Hmm, just one petite cake? I'll buy you a hundred tomorrow!" "Oh?" Jordan chuckled coldly at his boasts, mercilessly poking at his sensitive spot. "How are you planning to pay for them?" Jonathan froze for a second.
Chapter 188 Although I'm Crippled, My Spirit Isn't He didn't say anything more, but his heart was already heavy with sadness. Dmn it, my card's been frozen....
On the side, Milly carefully unwrapped the cake box, revealing an exquisite cake inside.

At this moment, she also sensed that something was off between the two of them. She suddenly remembered Jonathan's sobs; combining that with Jonathan's card being frozen by Jordan....
She blinked twice, curiosity getting the better of her as she asked softly, "Jonathan I heard you mentioning trending topics. What's up with that? Who's trending now?" Jonathan was taken aback. "Milly... don't you know about today's trending topic?" Milly shrugged, still unaware. "I don't know." She hadn't checked her phone since last night after messaging Leon and didn't have the mind to check again this morning due to worrying about taking Apollo home.
But now that she looked at Jonathan's expression, it seemed like it was related to herself.
She quickly pulled out her phone and opened Twitter, only to find that her nwas trending. There were hundreds of thousands of posts under her name.
Why am I trending again? Not only was she trending, but even Jonathan and his agency were trending too.
The second-ranked hashtag was #Jonathan's RelationshipExposed.

back Milly furrowed her brow and felt a foreboding sense creeping up her spine. She couldn't help but look at the person sitting next to her with a fearful expression and asked, "So... do the netizens think I'm your girlfriend?" 1
