Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

After exiting the old house and getting into Harlan’s car, Millie’s curiosity got the better of her, and she couldn’t resist asking, “Harlan, what happened to Marcus?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Twenty minutes earlier, Harlan had called her, asking if she wanted to accompany him to Oldfort, stating that he was heading there immediately because Marcus had yet returned.

“Please fasten your seatbelt first. He encountered a group of assassins in Oldfort. I’m going to check on him.”

Millie’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this alarming news.

“Then drive as fast as you can. I’m ready.”

Harlan maneuvered his jeep like a leopard, swiftly navigating the nighttime roads.

After a while, something occurred to Millie.

“Won’t I just be a burden to him?”

Given her lack of combat skills and physical strength, Millie couldn’t help but fret about the possibility of becoming a liability to Marcus.

“It’s alright. We’ll take good care of you,” Harlan assured her, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Even though Harlan had reassured her, Millie couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something was amiss.

Nonetheless, her paramount concern was to reunite with Marcus.

And that was even if it meant enduring any hardships or bullets with him.

Back at the forest, after a fierce battle, half of Ryan’s men had been lost, prompting him to order a temporary break.

By the dim light of the room’s fire, Marcus took off his coat and asked Trenton to rebandage his injured arm.

Observing Marcus’s arm continuing to bleed, Shera, concerned about his profusely bleeding arm, exclaimed, “This is serious. You need to see a doctor right away. If it continues like this, it could be fatal.”

Trenton, tearing a piece of cloth from his coat, spared Shera a glance and used it to bind Marcus’s wound.

“If we can find a doctor, we will. But right now, we’re trapped. They have us surrounded.”

With the number of enemies outside, their only option was to take shelter in the room.

Shera understood the dire situation and fell silent.

Marcus examined his gun, discovering only two bullets left in the magazine.

He frowned with concern. Trenton checked his gun, finding just one bullet remaining.

Retrieving his phone, Marcus noticed that it had limited battery life. He gazed at a picture of Millie on the screen, which sent his emotions swirling.

He knew the odds were stacked against them.
