Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Millie was utterly flabbergasted.

"You... you didn't..."

"What? Disappointed?"

Once Murray realized something was wrong, he quickly ran to the bathroom to make himself vomit. The fever he felt was just the lingering effects of the drug. "If you're fine, then why... why did you act like that before?"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Murray smirked, "Just wanted to see the transition from hope to disappointment, and then to despair on someone's face. It's quite fascinating, don't you think?" Millie was trembling all over.

"You've got some nerve, drugging me like that. Too bad you've got the guts but not the brains to match."

"Idiot!"

"Sadie "

"What do you need, sir?" Sadie entered immediately upon receiving her instructions.

Millie fumbled to put on her robe, but couldn't seem to get it right, looking completely disheveled.

"Pack up her stuff. Within thirty minutes, I want her and her belongings out of here! And change all the security codes. From now on, I don't want anything related to her in this house." "Understood, sir."

Millie was dragged out. Stone-faced, she let Sadie pull her along.

Suddenly, as if waking from a dream, she jerked away, "Don't touch me!"

Sadie paused.

"I'm carrying a Sherwood heir, and you think you, a mere servant, have the right to lay a hand on me?! Think about what your life is worth. If anything happens to me or the child, how many lives do you have to compensate?!" "When I give birth to a son and marry Murray, you'll be the first one I deal with!"

Sadie couldn't help but laugh, looking at her as if she was a fool.

"Ms. Millie, you must've watched too many dramas. Thinking pregnancy will elevate your status and secure you a place in high society? I've been with the Sherwoods for decades. No one in this family-be it the lord, the lady, or the young master is easy to manipulate."

"To bear a Sherwood child, any woman can do. But thinking it will make you the lady of the house, well, that's a beautiful dream."

Even Beverley, the housekeeper, made it clear to Millie-have the child if you must, but after that, you have no place here. Stay out of our way. The servants saw the reality clearly, only Millie was lost in her fantasy.

Sadie's eyes showed a hint of pity.

A bright young woman, with a college degree, capable of making her way anywhere, why stoop to fighting over a man?

The harsh words Murray hurled at her, Sadie had heard it all from outside the room.

How thick does one's skin have to be to show no shame?

Sadie shook her head, "Come on, Ms. Millie, let's go pack your things. See what you want to take with you."

This was Sadie, blatantly cutting her some slack.

The luxury bags, jewelry, clothes in the wardrobe-take them all if she could. Selling them off could net a good sum, not leaving her high and dry.

But Millie completely missed the hint, thinking even a servant dared to kick her out-

"Leave? Why should I leave?! This is my home, I'd rather die here!"

"Ms. Millie, why make it harder on yourself? The young master has spoken, you have to leave today one way or another."

"I won't leave, what can you possibly do to me?"

Sadie was speechless.

She grabbed the banister of the second-floor railing, "Go on, keep dragging me out!"

Murray came out of his bedroom, a cold laugh escaping him, "It's been ten minutes already. Since you've no dignity left, I don't need to extend any courtesy either. Sadie, call security to handle this."
