Chapter 303 Scar 

+5 Pearls 

With a hint of curiosity, Milly inquired, I overheard someone outside mentioning the rental of an entire floor of the hospital. These are all VIP suites. Are they truly that affluent?” 

The nurse immediately hushed her, casting wary glances as if fearful of cavesdroppers. She lowered her voice, saying, Those individuals seem perilous. We must tread carefully. When I came over earlier, I saw them wheeling a bloodied man into the operating theatre. I suspect their clamorous outbursts are all for his sake

Milly’s lips tightened, feeling an odd respect for the gang outside. Their loya Yet, their ostentatious display was unseemly and too brazen

at least, was noteworthy

Somehow, the hospital director must have yielded to their demands or reached a compromise, as the previous uproar had subsided

As the noise abated, the nurse departed to procure groceries, leaving Milly solitary in the room

In the ensuing silence, Milly grew restless. Although the nurse had merely mentioned a wounded man, Milly couldn’t dispel the vivid images from her mind. She even imagined the faint scent of blood in the 

air

However, the hospital’s antiseptic measures were thorough, and her room was far from the operating theatre. Any lingering odour would be improbable

Could it be trick of the mind? Or had she developed some form of trauma

Suddenly, the bracelet on her wrist began to shiver anew, more vigorously than before. It rubbed her skin until it reddened and swelled

Before this, Milly would have attempted to halt its movement, but this time… 

She gazed intently at the bracelet, a peculiar sense of panic rising within her. 

She couldn’t fathom the source of her unease, yet she couldn’t quell it. It felt as if an unseen force was inexorably drawing her

Milly rubbed her forehead, stood up, and drew a deep breath. She must have been exhausted lately, and combined with the prolonged hospital stay led to these errant thoughts

Looking out the window, she saw birds singing and flowers blooming, the world outside seemingly untouched by the turmoil within

It was September, where summer was drawing to a close. Though the day was sunny, it wasn’t sweltering. Soft breeze hushed through the landscape. It was cosy

Time to get some fresh air

Just as Milly reached the door, a/burly, intimidating man blocked her path. You can’t leave. Get back 

inside!” 

narrowed her eyes and gave him a onceover. He certainly looked like trouble, with a faint smell of blood clinging to him. He had to be one of the gang members the nurse had warned her about

The man replied coldly. My superior’s orders. Only one person per room can go out each day. A middle- aged woman from your room just left, so no one else can go out now.” 

A middleaged woman? That must be the nurse. But what did he mean by his superior

With a hint of amusement, Milly asked, Did the government pass a law that says only one person per foom can leave?” 

The man’s irritation was evident. No.” 

No? Then why can’t I go out?” 

Under normal circumstances, Milly would have avoided conflict, especially with someone as menacing as him. But today, an inexplicable frustration simmered within her

It felt like a buildup of irritation with no outlet to vent. This man had presented himself as the perfect target for her pentup anger. If she didn’t vent, she felt she might explode

The man before her was not one to be trifled with His brows furrowed at her defiance. I said no, and that’s final. That’s the rule. Do you have a death wish?” 

Milly 

smirked. Your rules aren’t laws. Why should I follow them?” 

The man was thoroughly enraged now. His already menacing face grew darker and more threatening. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes filled with a murderous gleam

Do you really think I won’t hit a woman?” 

Milly flexed her wrists and licked her parched lips, feeling a sudden rush of adrenaline and satisfaction. coursing through her veins. Bring it on” 

At last, she could release the tension that had been suffocating her. This man was the perfect outlet

Seeing her step forward to provoke him, the man’s eyes flashed with anger. He raised his fist, ready to strike her down

But before he could throw the punch, the door beside them swung open, revealing an even taller, more muscular figure

The man who entered had a long scar running down his face, and his eyes were icy and fierce, radiating a deadly aura as if he had just stepped off a bloody battlefield
