He distinctly remembered her arm bleeding heavily, the blood coating her entire arm. How could there be no sign of a wound now?
Also, during the bomb blast carlier today, he tried to pull Milly close so they were not far apart. Despite. avoiding the explosion, he still sustained numero
If Apollo, being an experimental subject, saved her because of his speed, then why did Apollo have numerous injuries from the blast while Milly had none?
From a scientific standpoint, it seems completely illogical…
At that moment, Milly was unaware of the perplexed gaze fixed on her. Her eyes were locked on the prominent “twelve o’clock” on the wall, biting her lip
The time was ticking away, and she worried whether the Burnetts had left their door unlocked for her.
Would her older brothers be worried about her by now?
As her anxiety grew, she quickly signalled to Apollo, who was lingering in the corner. “Apollo, time to head home.
Apollo’s emotions are fleeting. He has already forgotten Milly’s recent scolding. As soon as he sees her gesturing, he scampers over excitedly, grabbing
It seemed he was still upset about the earlier incident.
Milly laughed lightly at his demeanour and said, “Let’s try to keep out of trouble, okay? No more aggression. If you’re good, no timeouts. But if not, there will be consequences, got
Apollo cocked his head, looking puzzled. “Huh?”
Milly ruffled his hair affectionately. “Say goodbye to Uncle George, we’re leaving.”
“Huh?”
George, still seated, raised an eyebrow at the sudden familial title. Uncle George?”
Apollo now called him ‘Uncle George‘ at her suggestion, but the significant age discrepancy in that term made George’s expression darken again.
Fearing she might agitate him further and compromise her goal of having the video deleted, she quickly changed her strategy. “Or… Should he call you
George was at a loss for words.
Was this some kind of karmic joke? Was he being punished for past transgressions, now having his love interest propose such a bizarre family role?
He managed a wry smile, his features tense as if he were trying to suppress his real thoughts.
After a brief pause, he resignedly said, “Let’s not worry about that now. It’s getting late, and I’ll prepare a guest room for you.”

Milly’s expression showed a hint of concern. “But what about my brothers?”

She had promised her brothers she would be home, and not showing up as expected would surely cause
them to worry.
George tried to reassure her, “Don’t worry, I’ve already had Danny inform them about your safety. They know you’re with me, so there’s no cause for con
“Also, your grandfather is getting on in years. Bringing Apollo back in the middle of the night, especially looking dishevelled, might cause a stir. I’ll have th
Milly nodded, understanding the logic in his reasoning.
Setting aside Apollo’s identity, any family would disapprove of a girl bringing a strange boy home late at night.
Moreover, since Apollo had been kept in a cage, although he was not dirty, no one had properly cared for him. He looked wild, with unkempt and disheve
His emotions were unstable, prone to outbursts when meeting strangers, which could be too much for Grandpa’s fragile health.
Therefore, it would be better if they plan to return during the day tomorrow.
“Okay,” Milly agreed reluctantly.
Yet, another problem lingered on her mind as she looked back at Apollo, who was clinging to her. “What about Apollo? Where will he sleep tonight?”
She could not just share a room with him; despite seeing him as a younger brother, boundaries between. genders must be respected..
If others tried to handle him, he might react badly, possibly causing harm.
Yet, leaving him alone also worried her.
What a dilemma.
George seemed to catch her concern and stood up, approaching Apollo confidently. “I’ll take care of him. tonight.”
“You will?” Milly was surprised, hardly believing her ears.

Relieved by his promise, Milly nodded in agreement. “Okay then, thanks, Daddy.”

enre massaged his forehead and said sternly, “If you call me that again, you’ll find yourself outside.”
Milly winced, “Okay, won’t say that again… Daddy.”
George rolled his eyes..
Apollo watched Milly begin to ascend the stairs without him. Feeling abandoned, he rushed over, clutching her sleeve and whining.
It seemed he was trying to remind her not to leave him behind.
Milly gently patted his head and explained, “Apollo, it’s time for bed. I can’t share a room with you you’re a boy and I’m a girl. Can you stay with that man over there?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She pointed to George as she spoke.
Apollo could clearly sense her emotions and roughly guessed that she intended to leave him with that man. Suddenly, his eyes reddened as he cried out
Seeing his distress made Milly’s heart ache, but she knew they had to stick to the rules.
“Apollo, listen, I’m not abandoning you. You’ll see me tomorrow morning, I promise. Just wake up, and I’ll be right there. Can you do that?” she reassured him.
Holding tighter to her fingers, Apollo looked up at her, confused and upset, whimpering. “Ah….
