hospital now!”
Jordan was still covering Milly’s eyes even though the commotion downstairs had subsided.
Jordan, is it over? You can let go now.”
No response.
Jordan?”
Jordan seemed to come back to his senses and said, “Okay.”
His hand slowly moved away.
Finished
The sudden brightness made Milly flinch, having just adjusted to the darkness. She blinked several times, trying to get used to the light, and gradually felt more comfortable.
Immediately after, everything went dark again!
Jordan pulled Milly into a tight embrace. His cold scent enveloped her. She could feel him trembling.
“Jordan, you…
“Milly, trust me. I will protect you, no matter what.”
Milly was confused.
Did he believe she was scared of Xavier? Because Xavier mentioned jail and she needed to pay the blood debt with her life?
She patted his back reassuringly and said, “It’s okay, Jordan. There are security cameras here. I’m not afraid.”
Milly wouldn’t gamble with her life.
She had already noticed the surveillance cameras, which was why she was so calm, knowing Stephanie wouldn’t succeed with her scheme.
Jordan’s voice was still hoarse as he answered, “Mmm, you’re brave and you’re not scared, but I am.”
He feared losing his sister again. Jordan feared seeing her lying cold and unresponsive; he feared her sudden disappearance; he feared so many things.
His genuine fear wasn’t lost on Milly
Jordan, are you okay?”
This was the first time she’d seen him like this, and it unnerved her.
Jordan buried his face deeply into Milly’s shoulder, the warmth he felt barely pulling him back to sanity. Stephanie’s near–lifeless state just moments ago had brought back haunting memories of seeing Milly in
the morgue.
This time, he was here, and he would protect Milly.

Stephanie had woken up. She fixed her eyes on the IV drip above her and continued to administer medication. The wound on her head throbbed with pain, and she could hear the constant murmur of nurses and patients in the background.
What was going on?
Wasn’t she supposed to be dead?
She distinctly remembered Jeffrey’s steel needle piercing her spine and the venomous concoction seeping into her spinal cord and spreading through her limbs, initiating an unending nightmare.
The pain had her clawing at her hair and screaming incessantly, but it did nothing to alleviate the agony. And that godlike man, her beloved brother, stood expressionless beside her bed, watching her writhe in
tomment.
Jeffrey was a medical prodigy, proficient in both traditional and alternative medicine. The nation had even established a medical research institute for him, making him the country’s youngest medical professor.
So.
How could she possibly survive after falling into his hands?
Jeffrey was a madman. He obsessively concocted unknown drugs in his lab and tested them on her. All in an attempt to resurrect the woman in the freezer.
Haha! How absurd!
In this modern age of advanced medicine and science, someone still believed they could resurrect the
dead!
And that woman, she knew her too–it was Milly!
Slowly lifting her hand, she noted her well–manicured fingers, free of the terrifying needle marks.
Could it be…
A bold thought flashed through her mind.
Thud! Thud! Thud! The sound of footsteps coming from outside interrupted her reverie. Stephanie lifted her head in alarm.
A young nurse entered the ward.
When the nurse saw Stephanie awake, she exclaimed with delight, “Ms. Burnett, you’re awake! That’s wonderful! It means you’re out of danger. I’ll go get the doctor. Please wait a moment.”
She turned to leave.
“Wait!” Stephanie called out and stopped the nurse from leaving.

wrong?”
Stephanie’s expression turned ashen. Her voice was trembling as if clinging to a lifeline. She asked, “Nothing much, but I would like to know, what year is it now?”
“Huh?”
Finished
The nurse was stunned. She knew Stephanie had hit her head, but she hadn’t heard it was serious enough to cause memory loss. Why didn’t she remember the year?
Stephanie angrily threw a glass at the nurse when she hesitated to answer, which coincidentally shattered on her feet.
“I just asked you, what year is it? Are you deaf?!”
The nurse was frightened and stepped back. However, the scalding water from the glass still spilled onto her leg, making her flinch,
She swallowed her scream and reminded herself that she needed this job. The woman in front of her was the Burnetts heiress, and she couldn’t afford to offend her.
“Ms. Burnett, it’s 2023.
Stephanie froze when she heard this. Then she started to mumble to herself, “2023, 2023, 2023…
“Wahaha, I’ve come back! I really came back! Hahaha…”
Her laughter was manic. The needle on the back of her hand was dislodging, and blood was oozing from the puncture, but she seemed oblivious. Stephanie continued to laugh wildly. “Hahahaha!”
Halfway through her laughter, she began to cry and collapsed on the bed. She sobbed uncontrollably, “Boohoo!”
The nurse had never encountered such a patient before. She was too scared to stay in the hospital ward. The nurse quickly ran out of the room to fetch the doctor.
Xavier was worried about Stephanie. He had not left, but he was waiting in the doctor’s office.
Beside him sat a man reading a medical report.
The man had short, neat hair, chiselled features, a high nose, and thin but attractive lips. He exuded any of nobility, looking handsome even in a plain white doctor’s coat.
He was engrossed in the medical report in his hand.

Xavier glanced at the clock on the wall. He took a deep breath and couldn’t help but ask, “Jeffrey, didn’t you say Stephanie would wake up within ten hours? It’s been twelve hours, and she’s still not awake. Could something have gone wrong?”
Jeffrey looked at the report again. His brow was furrowing, and his tone was cold when he said, “She should wake up soon. Let’s wait a little longer.”
Xavier took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his irritation.

Ultimately, he couldn’t suppress his frustration, saying, “Jeffrey, you had no idea. She pushed Stephanie off the third floor, leaving her lying in a pool of blood and barely clinging to life. This was all Milly’s doing! If I’d known she was so vicious, I would never have let her back into the family. She had hurt Stephanie!”
Jeffrey’s fingers paused. He asked, “Milly?”
“Yes! It’s her fault!” Xavier’s voice was icy as he continued, “You were too busy with work to come home and meet her, so you don’t know. She’s our biological siste
“Haha! Calling her a sister is a stretch. She’s ruthless. Milly is always targeting Stephanie and stealing her things. This time, she even pushed Stephanie down the stairs. What a wicked witch; it’s a shame she shares
our surname!”
Jeffrey was usually indifferent. He listened to Xavier’s chatter. Although the majority of it was furious grumbling, he still caught the gist of the situation.
A cold smile appeared on his lips.
Despite his busy schedule at the medical school, he wasn’t entirely out of touch. He knew about the sudden discovery of their biological sister, but he had never met her.
Hearing Xavier’s description, it seemed this sister was indeed quite formidable.
Stephanie, whom they all doted on despite being spoiled, was not malicious. They genuinely cared for her. When Jeffrey learned about Milly’s actions, he felt a growing disdain for her.
Moreover, her scheming caused Stephanie’s injury to cross his bottom line.
“What did Jordan say?” Jeffrey asked coldly.
At this, Xavier’s face turned red with anger. He panted heavily and replied, “Don’t mention it. She has bewitched Jordan, Anthony, and Jonathan!

It was Jordan’s voice, gentle and calm.
Milly shook her head and said firmly, “I’m not afraid.”
“Mmm. Milly is really brave, but I’m afraid.”
Milly was speechless.
Why did it feel like he is comforting a child? And if Jordan is afraid, he should cover his own eyes, not mine.
Finished
She wanted to say more, but then a desperate cry filled her ears. “Stephanie! Stephanie! What happened to you? Stephanie!”
With her eyes still covered, Milly couldn’t see, but it sounded like Xavier’s voice.
“Milly, you’re truly a wicked witch! How could you push Stephanie down the stairs? How could you be so cruel? You’re her sister, and this is murder! Murderers must pay with their lives!”
Milly could clearly sense Jordan’s aura growing colder beside her.
She quickly patted his hand to calm him down and then spoke coldly, “Xavier, I didn’t push her. She fell on her own, and she attacked me first!”
Xavier insisted, “I have seen everything. You pushed her! You’re just making excuses! She was only playing with you, but you tried to kill her. You’re truly wicked! You don’t deserve to be my sister! If I had known bringing you home would cause so much chaos, I’d never have let you return. Sharing the same blood as you disgusts me.”
Milly was bewildered.
What kind of twisted logic is this?
Stephanie’s attack on me was merely a prank, while my self–defense was an excuse.
At this point, Jordan’s cold voice interrupted, “Xavier!”
Xavier had a mental breakdown. He looked at Jordan with disbelief and asked, “Jordan, how could you continue to defend this witch? She tried to kill Stephanie!”
Milly rolled her eyes, unable to hold back.
“If you keep yelling at me instead of calling an ambulance, Stephanie might actually die. If you take her to the hospital now, she might still have a chance.”
Despite his supposed intelligence, he lacks common sense.
Xavier’s eyes had turned red. He glared at the girl under Jordan’s protection at the top of the stairs, her malicious intent nearly overwhelming him. Why isn’t it Milly who fell?
Why isn’t Milly the one dying?
Xavier doubted Jordan could protect her forever. One day, he would make her pay in blood!
Gritting his teeth, Xavier bent down to pick up the bleeding Stephanie. Her faint whimpers in her unconscious stare added to his heartbreak. He comforted. ‘Stephanie, don’t be afraid. I’ll get you to the
