Chapter 327 Jordan, I Need to Say Goodbye to Someone

Milly felt a sudden pang in her chest as the smile brought by her impending discharge froze on her face.

George’s condition seemed serious,

and it I was unlikely that he would leave the hospital soon.

He has lost his memory, and Scarface has alwa

shad an issue with me. If he brainwashes George when I am not around, will he slowly forget about me? Or worse, what if some pretty, sexy nurse tries to flirt with him?

She pursed her lips and glanced at Jordan nearby. Softly, she asked, “Jordan, can I go out to see someone? I promise I won’t be gone long!”

The warm, friendly atmosphere in the hospital room immediately chilled when her words fell.

Jonathan, always impulsive, jumped up with a loud “No” and protested, “Absolutely not! I disagree! Isn’t there enough people to see here? Why do you need to go out to see someone?”

Xavier couldn’t hold back either as he said cautiously, “Milly, please reconsider. We don’t have a lot of time, and we need to pack things up and head back soon. Can’t we skip this visit?”

Knowing Milly was still upset with him, Xavier did not press as Jonathan did and forbade her from going out. Instead, he could only try to negotiate warily.

He had been investigating Stephanie’s affairs, but he still kept an eye on Milly’s situation, so he knew that she

was pursuing some guy. Now that she announced her intention to see someone, he knew right away that she was going to meet the man she admired.

Apollo, without understanding the conversation, sensed that Milly was leaving him. So, he clung tighter to her, almost hanging from her arm as he whimpered continuously, “Ah–woo, ah–woo…

The room grew

chaotic.

Milly, feeling a headache from the commotion, pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed deeply. Exasperated, she said, “I’m just stepping out to see someone. I’ll be back in thirty minutes. It’s not like I’m leaving forever. Why are you all so worked up?”

“What? Thirty minutes?” Jonathan retorted. “Do you know what thirty minutes means? It’s 1,800 seconds! You could elope and run away two miles in that time!”

Milly was taken aback.

“Who said anything about eloping?”

Jonathan snorted. “That’s how it starts on TV. Poor guys can’t afford to marry, so they convince girls to elope with them! Like Kurt from an old movie I watched!

“You had no idea how badly things ended for him. He left his comfortable life to pursue a wealthy socialite, Angela, and they eloped together. They lived a life of destitution, and in the end, he chose to end his life because she betrayed him. See, that’s a great example!”

Setting aside everything, Milly was surprised that Jonathan, who was not known for being very smart, actually remembered the storyline of an old movie so clearly, but …

.

Milly tried to correct him. “But Jonathan, it was Kurt who died heartbroken; it wasn’t the woman who

died.”

And George isn’t poor.

Jonathan raised an eyebrow. “There are tragic women too! Take this girl, Alicia, for example. She was born into a wealthy family, adored by her brothers, especially her fifth elder brother, who would have given her his soul. But after a few days in the hospital, she fell for a useless guy, and she insisted on a thirty–minute rendezvous against her brothers‘ wishes, only to be abandoned. She even died from a broken heart! This tale teaches us that ignoring advice from your brothers leads to suffering, and trusting a sc*undrel ends in disaster!”

Milly was bewildered. Why does that story sound familiar?

“Jonathan, who is Alicia … ” Milly started.

Jonathan looked at her earnestly. “Alicia is a fictional character, but doesn’t her story resemble yours? Doesn’t it impart a lesson?”

Milly was rendered speechless once again.

It was not merely a vague similarity but an exact replica of her situation. The comparison felt overwhelming.

“Enough!”

A commanding voice broke through the bickering.

Philip, who had been silently observing, finally snapped. “What’s all this squabbling? You boys are acting like a bunch of idi*ts, and Milly, you’re no better. It’s like dealing with a group of monkeys. She just wants to visit someone, not commit a crime. If she wants to go, let her go quickly and stop wasting time!”

Philip had been at the old residence for the past few days, and he rushed over upon hearing Milly was being discharged, unaware of her romantic pursuit.

He had expected a drama–free trip home after they picked her up, but the chaos he encountered immediately triggered his temper.

“If you’re going, go now! Stephanie’s coming–of–age ceremony is tonight at the old residence. We need to leave soon. Arguing is taking more time than a round trip!” Philip snapped, glancing irritably at his watch.

Milly frowned, recalling that Stephanie had invited their classmates to her coming–of–age event.

But isn’t her birthday still far off? Why is she organising her coming–of–age party already? Is she in such a rush?

Besides, her event coincides with the day of my discharge.

Is it really just a coincidence?

It felt deliberate, as if Stephanie had a specific agenda for ensuring Milly would be there.

Milly sensed she needed to be cautious tonight, thinking that Stephanie was about to do something again.

Jonathan, who had been trying to convince Milly for what seemed like an eternity, was on the verge of success when Philip suddenly intervened and agreed to let her go, disrupting everything.

Frustrated but unwilling to openly defy his grandfather, Jonathan could only shoot a pleading look at Jordan, hoping for support. “Jordan, say something!”

Jordan was the only one who could challenge Philip. If Jordan sided against Milly meeting her mystery man, Philip might reconsider.

But Jordan ignored Jonathan’s appeal, his expression unreadable. He simply gestured with his fingers and said, “Go now and come back soon.”

Jonathan’s eyes widened in disbelief, as though he had been betrayed. “Jordan!”

Milly, however, looked at Jordan gratefully, her eyes shining. “Thank you, Jordan!”
