Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 297 He Wouldn't Leave

Milly beheld the weary visage of Jordan and gently diverted the conversation, “Jordan, I'm alright. You should rest

for a while.”

Jordan hesitated. “No, I'm not tired. I'll stay with you a bit longer.”

Yet, his exhaustion was undeniable. Milly suppressed the tears in her gaze and playfully chided, “Jordan, go rest.

Your eyes are red from lack of sleep. If | wake up and find you bedridden, I'll have to tend to you while I'm ill. Do

you think you can manage that?”

And if the paparazzi see you like this, they might think our family is in “turmoil.”

“But...”

“Jordan, if you don’t rest, then neither will I.

In the end, Jordan relented, gently tousling her hair. “Alright, I'll rest now and cback later.”

“I've arranged for two caregivers; they'll be here soon. If you need anything, just let them know.”

Milly finally smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

Still, Jordan remained uneasy. After a few more words, he turned to leave. As he did, his gaze fell upon Xavier,

who appeared equally fatigued. His expression darkened slightly, and he spoke with a hint of resentment. “You

cwithtoo.

Xavier bit his lip, his eyes filled with indescribable sorrow as he looked at Jordan with a faint plea, “Jordan, | don’t

want to leave...”

Milly rolled her eyes. Stephanie was nowhere in sight, and the pretense of familial bonds seemed hollow.

Jordan, perceptive of Milly’s aversion to Xavier's presence, forcibly grabbed Xavier by the collar, ignoring his

protests, and dragged him out. Once Xavier was gone, Milly breathed a sigh of relief.

Surprisingly, the ward felt much lighter without him.

Whether from blood loss or the sedative in the IV drip, it was unsure, but Milly slept for an entire day. She

vaguely sensed visitors, perhaps Jonathan and Anthony, their voices mingling with Apollo’s chatter.

Each tshe opened her eyes, she yawned and drifted back to sleep.

When she finally awoke, it was evening. The room was dim and empty....

Wait, there was movement.

Was it a nurse?

No, Jordan had hired two elderly women as nurses. The figure before her was at least six feet tall.

So who could it be? A burglar, perhaps?

afraid to disturb her fragile state.

Wearily, Milly shut her eyes, contemplating her options. Her body still bore the marks of recent injury, her hand

wrapped in a bandage, rendering confrontation impossible.

She had to adapt.

Straining her senses, she discerned the figure settling by her bedside. Gently, he reached out to tuck her in, his

gaze unwavering upon her face.

“Milly, I'm sorry,” ca tremulous voice.

It was Xavier!

Milly hesitated, uncertain of her response. In that moment, she would have preferred the company of a thief.

Irritation prickled within her at his sudden appearance. Hadn't Jordan taken him away? How had he returned, like

an apparition refusing to fade?

Yet, it was the first tXavier had uttered such a apology. It felt unfamiliar, but the wounds inflicted remained.

A late apology was useless.

In the dimness, Xavier seemed oblivious to her wakefulness. His voice strained with emotion as he continued,

“Milly, 1 apologise. | regret leaving you when you were injured. | regret how | treated you before. You're kind-

hearted, and | was wrong.”

“If you can find it in your heart to forgiveand acceptas your brother again, | promise to be kind to you

and shield you from harm, even from myself. | will strive to be a better man, one who always watches over you.

Please, giveanother chance....

His voice trembled with sincerity.

Milly felt a surge of confusion at his words. What was Xavier hoping to achieve? There was no one else present;

was he seeking to manipulate her emotions? Did she hold shidden value that even she was unaware of,

prompting such earnest overtures?

Xavier persisted, “Milly, | recall saying that if | ever called you my sister again, I'd be dog.

Frowning slightly, Milly recalled his earlier promise. Just as she pondered this, her thoughts were abruptly

interrupted by a series of loud barks.

It resembled less a human face and more akin to a swine’s head-bruised, swollen, and adorned with yellowed

ointment over dark contusions, intensifying its disquieting aspect.

“What happened to your face?” Milly inquired, unable to behold his face earlier due to her frailty upon

awakening.
