Upon Milly posing her question, Xavier’s expression shifted almost imperceptibly, as a fleeting glimpse of panic crossed his face. 

It quickly dissipated and was replaced by a composed demeanour. His voice, however, retained a husky. subdued tone as he responded, “Nothing happened. I simply… had an epiphany.” 

Milly rolled her eyes at his obvious excuse. 

She wasn’t buying it for a second! 

From his earlier behaviour, it was evident he was hiding something from her. Since he was not being honest, she figured she would not be able to get him to spill even if she pressed further. “Fine. If you don’t want to talk about it, then forget it.” 

Xavier replied with a curt, “Mm.” 

As he was about to leave, he paused at the door and turned back to fix Milly with a determined gaze. As though he feared she doubted him, he emphasised once more with resolve, “Milly, believe me. My earlier words about treating you well and considering you my only sister are genuine. I meant every single word. I understand you may still have doubts, and that’s okay. I’ll prove it to you through my actions.” 

He left after saying that. 

Milly watched his retreating figure and then glanced at the remnants he left behind, her eyes dark and inscrutable. 

Meanwhile, Danny had just completed his report to George. 

Stepping out of the hospital, he caught sight of a suspicious figure lurking near the entrance. 

Narrowing his eyes, he immediately went on alert. 

These persistent nuisances from the Ghost Sect seem relentless. Just when we let one go, another appears. Do they think our patience is endless? 

Ha! Mr. Tate might have been lenient by letting one of them go, but I won’t be. This time, I’m determined to make an example of this intruder and teach the Ghost Sect a lesson they will never forget! 

Fuming, he marched forward to confront the person. However, the closer he got, the more familiar the figure appeared. He had a weird feeling… 

As he approached, he found himself face–to–face with the individual. 

The person was clad entirely in black–they wore a black baseball cap, black sunglasses, and a black mask which obscured his face completely. He even held binoculars. 

This outfit, meant to blend in ironically made him stand out, especially while he was hiding behind a tree. 

He seems oddly familiar.

The figure in black, huddled behind the tree, visibly startled. Turning around, he exclaimed in disbelief, “What the hell? I pulled out all the stops and dressed like this, but you still recognised me?” 

There was a tone of incredulity in his voice, almost a hint of complaint. 

Danny’s lips twitched as he discreetly returned the mini–handgun to his suit pocket. He then gave Anthony a thorough once–over and nodded honestly, admitting. “You do stick out… quite a bit.” 

Earlier, Danny had wondered why the Ghost Sect kept sending increasingly foolish scouts. 

The last one had been relatively sharp and still got caught. This one seemed outright clueless. But now, after seeing him up close, it turned out that it was an old acquaintance. 

Anthony protested immediately, “Tve disguised myself so well; no one should be able to recognise me. Have you been secretly following me? No, wait. What are you doing here?” 

He recalled Jordan’s mention that Milly might be pursuing someone familiar, possibly an old acquaintance they all knew. 

It was hard not to be suspicious of Danny suddenly appearing here. 

Could it be that Milly is after Danny? 

Though Danny could not grasp why Anthony eyed him suspiciously, he knew he could not tell him that George was hospitalised here due to his injury. 

Smiling warmly, he clarified, “Mr. Anthony, I’m here to pick up some medication. I had a minor car accident recently, and I have some superficial wounds. I came for a check–up and to collect my prescription.” 

Anthony remained doubtful. “You came to the hospital building to get your medication?” 

Danny continued smiling calmly as he explained in a casual manner. “The inpatient and outpatient sections are linked on the second floor. It’s my first time here, so I don’t really know my way. That’s how I got here. A nurse at the door directed me. 

“If you don’t believe me, Mr. Anthony, I have the doctor’s prescription right here.” 

Anthony took the prescription and examined it. It indeed prescribed medication for Danny, dated today. 

Milly had mentioned pursuing someone yesterday, and Danny was here for medication today. The timelines did not align, so that would automatically rule him out, 

Relieved, Anthony muttered softly. “I’m just glad it’s not you. You’re too old for my Milly anyway.” 

Danny looked at him, speechless. 

Can he not criticise me right in front of my face? I can hear everything! 

Besides, how am I old? I am only twenty–eight, still in my primet Sure, I am dressed more maturely…. 

But what is he talking about? 

Something about him being glad it’s not me? Something about me being too old for Ms. Millyr
