As soon as Milly entered the prayer hall, she saw the chaos among the three of them. 

“Apollo isn’t respecting me! I must make him submit to my strength today! Anthony, come over here and help me!” 

“Ah, get him off me first, then help you! I can’t move right now!”

“What does this guy eat? How is he so strong?” 

“A man can be killed but not humiliated!” 

Apollo, taking on the two of them with ease, had them both pinned under him, leaving them immobilised and only able to shout. 

Milly remained silent. 

From the looks of it, the three of them were getting along quite well. 

Apollo seemed to have a special sense because he immediately noticed the moment Milly stepped into the prayer hall. “Ah–woo!” 

Forgetting the two under him, he excitedly ran toward Milly, circling her. “Ah–woo- ah–woo–” 

But as he got closer, Milly’s smile froze on her face as she caught a faint whiff of blood. 

“What’s going on?” 

Her gaze fell on the handkerchief wrapped around Apollo’s wrist. Despite its dark colour, blood had seeped through. 

Seeing her staring at his wound, Apollo quickly hid his arm behind him, whimpering and shaking his head, trying to distract Milly. “Ah–woo– ah–woo–” 

Milly immediately saw through his attempt to avoid the issue. Her expression turned cold. “Show me.” 

Apollo sneaked a glance at her stern face and, not daring to disobey, reluctantly extended his arm. He sniffled pathetically. “Ah–woo- ah–woo… 

Milly removed the blood–soaked handkerchief from his arm, revealing a clear set of bite marks, like those of a child’s teeth, indicating who had bitten him. 

The wound was deep, with flesh exposed, though the bleeding had stopped. It looked alarming. 

She remembered Apollo doing the same thing in the basement, biting his wrist in a desperate attempt to make her drink his blood to heal her wounds. 

After that incident, she had repeatedly warned him that when someone is sick, they see a doctor, and when they’re injured, they get treatment. No one, not even she, was worth him biting his wrist to give them his blood. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

mind. Milly was curious about what had caused this lapse.

Seeing Milly’s silence, Apollo panicked, tugging at her sleeve and trying to explain, “Ah–woo- ah–woo–” 

Unusually, Milly didn’t soften at his pitiful look. She stared at him, expressionless. “So, what happened? Why did you bite your wrist and make it bleed again?” 

“Ah–woo- ah–woo… 

Apollo was truly scared 

almost on the verge of tears, never having seen Milly so serious. 

The tension between them was palpable. Jordan, standing nearby, couldn’t bear to watch Apollo struggle to explain himself. Stepping forward, he kindly intervened, “Milly, he was just very worried about you. He probably thought you didn’t want him anymore, so he lost control. Don’t be too hard on him.” 

Hearing this, Milly pressed her lips together, her expression still cold. 

“Jordan, you don’t need to make excuses for him. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. At best, it’s emotional instability; at worst, it’s self–harm. If we don’t correct him, he’ll always think he’s right. Whenever he’s upset, anxious, excited, or out of control, he’ll do this. If that’s the case, his hand is useless. and might as well be cut off!” 

Jordan was struck dumb. 

Since his rebirth, this was the first time he had seen Milly so stern. She looked impressive, but also… 

Scary. 

“Uh–hum.” Jordan coughed to cover his awkwardness, intimidated by Milly’s commanding presence. He turned away, deciding not to intervene further. 

He had said what he needed to, and he believed Milly had her reasons for being so strict. 

Supporting her was the best course of action, so he pretended he hadn’t been involved. 

Seeing Jordan’s silence, Jonathan and Anthony didn’t dare speak either, shrinking back and pretending not to notice. 

As for Apollo, who had once taken on ten opponents without fear, he was now too scared to even breathe loudly. 

The scene was almost comical. 

Four tall men cowered before a slender girl, afraid to oppose her, all showing fear when she got angry.. 

Jeffrey, watching from the corner, squinted his eyes. 

He wondered when the once–dominant figures of the Burnetts began revolving around this little girl. 

Maybe it was the intensity of his gaze, or perhaps he was too blatant, but Milly noticed his stare and turned to meet his eyes. 

Jeffrey didn’t look away or hide his scrutiny. Instead, he boldly held her gaze. 

In the next moment. Milly. holding Apollo. walked toward him.

Jeffrey raised an eyebrow, puzzled. 

Was she coming to fight? Or to show off?

Milly quickly reached him. “Jeffrey, you have excellent medical skills. I assume you carry supplies for emergency wound care. Could you help treat Apollo’s wound?” 

Jeffrey stood with his arms crossed, not speaking or moving, just scrutinising her. 

The girl before him spoke with polite formauty, her eyes calm and composed, showing no signs of malice. 

At least from a medical standpoint, she didn’t seem to harbour ill intentions toward him. 

Jeffrey smirked, the smile not reaching his eyes. “Why should I?” 

Milly replied softly, “Because you’re a doctor. Treating the wounded is your profession. Besides, my grandfather is a devout Buddhist, and bloodshed disturbs him. Helping would spare him some distress.” 

This wasn’t Milly’s true reasoning. 

She needed to stay here overnight, and without a clinic nearby, plus the hot weather, Apollo’s severe hand injury risked infection if left untreated until the next day. Immediate care was essential. 

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered with the taciturn Jeffrey.
