She was really lucky that he was able to save her in such a short amount of time.
“Derek was nearby. | notified him of what happened.”
Millie breathed a sigh of relief. If Derek had not been around, they would not have made it. Then, she winced when she felt a sting on her cheek.
After realizing that her face was also hurt, she closed her eyes. She had just remembered that one of the thugs had pressed her face against the wall earlier.
Millie groaned in discomfort as she touched her swelling cheek with a finger.
Her cheek definitely had fractured skin. She inhaled deeply. She could not help but wonder if her face would be permanently scarred. She had faked an unattractive appearance before, but it might become real this time, and she did not want that.
Millie could not tell how bad the scratches on her face were, so she leaned forward and tapped Marcus on the arm to get his attention.
“Is my face badly injured? Was it disfigured?” Millie asked in a serious tone. Having an actual deformed face would be very difficult for her. She would have to hide behind a mask for the rest of her life.
Upon realizing how close Millie was, Marcus’ thoughts abruptly froze. However, when he spotted her swollen cheek, he forced himself to calm down and looked her in the eye.
“It's not disfigured. Ethan, send her home,” Marcus instructed as he opened the door. He then muttered, “I'll not mind even if your face is permanently scarred.”
With that, he climbed out of the car, closed the door, and headed to where Derek was teaching the thugs a lesson.
Millie blinked, puzzled; she had not caught what Marcus had just said.
Outside the vehicle, when Ethan realized Marcus would not come with them, he decided to talk to him.
“Come with us, Mr. Thomas. You were poisoned by the black pill. Even if you’ve taken the antidote, you still need to get some rest for you to get better.”
Marcus ignored Ethan’s words. Right now, he had something more important to deal with.
Millie’s brows furrowed, and she muttered, “Black pill? What's that?”
With a helpless sigh, Ethan stepped into the car and turned to Millie. “Mrs. Thomas, |’ll drive you home now.”
Millie nodded and glanced at Marcus through the window.
After Derek had finished beating them up, the thugs lay on the ground, twitching and groaning in pain.
“Derek is awesome,” Millie muttered. She had never seen someone as skilled in combat as Derek. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
