He even had a dream about her last night.
Meanwhile, Leon arrived early at the neighborhood gate to fetch Fiona. A lot of onlookers watched in envy as Fiona strutted over to Leon, who was leaning against the car’s front bumper.
They were about to get inside the vehicle when Leon’s phone rang. He motioned for Fiona to wait while he stepped to the side to answer the phone.
As Fiona waited for Leon to finish the call, Millie stepped out of her home, thermal jar in hand. She was on her way to the hospital.

She was just wearing regular clothes, nothing fancy, but it was enough to make heads turn. There were young men in the area who could not help but glance her way.
Fiona’s expression exhibited a hint of scorn as she bit her lower lip. She approached Millie and stood in her path.

Suddenly, Millie felt a cold sensation on her chest as Fiona poured water from a bottle over her, drenching a good chunk of her clothing.
Without hesitation, she raised her hand and slapped Fiona across the face in retaliation.

Millie did not regret slapping Fiona, though.
Fiona made considerable efforts to implement her scheme. Both of her knees were bloodied and scratched, and the crimson liquid dripping from them was a heartbreaking sight.
With a heavy heart, Leon examined Fiona’s wounds. Then, he turned to Millie, whose lips were tightly pursed together. There was no sign of remorse on her face.
He sprang to his feet and grabbed her by the chin.
“Millie, you’re so ruthless.”
