Chapter 1352
Seeking Marcus’s attention, Shera cried out, but he paid her no heed.
Millie, on the other hand, bore the hardship silently. Her determination to stay by Marcus’s side overcame all obstacles.
She said nothing after her fall, quickly standing up to continue.
Facing the possibility of danger together was more bearable for her than the anxiety of waiting at home, filled with concern for his safety.

Grasping Millie’s hand, he expressed his remorse. “Now, I really regret letting you come here.”

Shera, meanwhile, lost her footing and tumbled to the damp earth. Trenton was quick to assist her, his concern evident.
“Miss Evans, I told you not to follow us. This place isn’t safe.”
Shera, having no comeback, angrily discarded her soiled coat.
Their situation worsened as the pursuers neared.
An urgent voice called out, “They are right ahead! Quick!”
Trenton tensed, alert to the danger. “They’re catching up.”
Both Millie and Shera felt the growing tension.
Marcus, intently listening to the chaotic footsteps behind them, sensed the peril.
Trenton sensed it too, his frustration evident.
“We took down many Last night. How can there be even more now?”
Fearing for their safety, Marcus turned to Millie. “You and Shera should go ahead. Trenton and I will be right behind.”
Millie’s heart raced with anxiety. Despite her fear for their well-being, she knew Marcus’s advice was sound.
“Please, be careful,” she implored, before she and Shera accelerated ahead.
Watching the women flee, Trenton shared his suspicion with Marcus.
“It’s strange. I deliberately left misleading tracks elsewhere and erased ours. They shouldn’t have followed us.”
