Chapter 888:
He remained silent, simply watching her with a mournful expression.
Eugene appeared on the opposite side, bowing respectfully toward Millie. “Miss Bennett, please, would you talk to Mr. Watson? He’s not doing well at all,” Eugene pleaded quietly.
Millie glanced at Brandon, her grip on Myron’s hand tightening instinctively.
“Millie.” Brandon’s voice cracked as he noticed the way her hand was linked with Myron’s.
“I tumbled down the stairs,” Brandon said quietly. “The same kind of accident you went through. And I know what that’s like now p>
Millie stayed silent, her gaze falling to the ground.
Brandon’s words came softly. “I finally get it. The pain is unbearable p>

“In a few days,” Millie continued, “I’ll be reclaiming the Bennett family’s legacy, just like we agreed. And as for you p>
Millie hesitated for a second. “You should focus on getting better. Take care of yourself p>
As she finished, Millie pressed the window button, drawing the glass up and cutting off Brandon’s view.
Brandon could only watch as her face blurred behind the tinted pane, his eyes welling up with a complicated mix of emotion.
