Chapter 145 Jonathan and Milly Are Having a Secret Affair?
Under Stephanie’s incredulous gaze, Jonathan hobbled forward to reach Milly. It took a lot of effort to restrain the joy in his heart.
It was wonderful that his sister was alive, standing right before him.
It’s truly wonderful!
He wanted to call her as his sister but remembered her insistence on making her way in the entertainment industry, he swallowed the words back down.
“Milly, Milly… huhuhuhu…
All his emotions melted away in that instant. The immense joy of seeing her alive overwhelmed him, causing him to collapse to the ground in tears.
“Huhu. Milly, this is so great! Huhuhuhu I felt scared to death! I thought… I thought you were… I’m so glad to see you. Thank goodness this isn’t a dream. Huwaaa, Milly…
Huwaaa,
Milly watched in stunned silence as her brother sobbed uncontrollably, clutching her leg. She didn’t know how to react.
“Mr. Jonathan, are you alright?”
It’s okay if she said nothing because her question only made him cry harder. In the end, his sobs had turned into hiccups.
“Hic… don’t worry about me… I just… hic, got overwhelmed… Huaaa, I can’t help it!
Milly was speechless.
You can’t keep crying like this while hugging my leg
The onlookers, who hadn’t yet dispersed, began to murmur among themselves.
They started to give the two a weird gaze.
“Isn’t that Jonathan Burnett, the fifth young master of the Burnetts? What’s his relationship with Milly?”
“Both their surnames are Burnett. Maybe she’s his sister?”
“Stop talking nonsense. The Burnetts have only one daughter, Stephanie. She’s got nothing to do with Milly.”
“Burnett is a common surname. And look at them–no way they’re siblings. Who cries like that while holding a sibling’s leg? They must be a couple.”
“Yeah, makes sense. He’s torn up. Look how hard he’s crying”
Milly stayed silent.
As the crowd grew larger and the speculation wilder, Milly bent down to help Jonathan up. “Mr. Jonathan, you better get up and talk. This… isn’t good for your image.”

Jonathan snorted; his eyes still brimming with tears. He looked at her with a childlike honesty. “It’s okay. I need a moment. My legs are a little weak.”
Milly couldn’t say anything.
In the end, it was Joy who helped Jonathan to sit on a nearby sofa.
However, like a kid who refused to be left alone, he clung desperately to Milly’s sleeve, not allowing her to move an inch away. He patted the space next to him. “Milly, sit here.”
His face was full of hope, and his big eyes flickered with expectation.
It was a single sofa. Although it was a slightly wider one and they weren’t overweight, they could sit down, but it was a bit cramped.
However, given the circle of gossiping onlookers around them, sitting so close would only spark further
rumours.
Milly let out a sigh. “It’s okay. I’ll sit over here.”
Hearing her words, Jonathan’s eyes reddened again. He looked like a puppy about to cry, full of grievance. “Milly, do you hate me or something?”
Milly shook her head.
Why would I hate him for no reason?
“Then why won’t you sit beside me? You must hate me!”
Milly explained honestly. “It’s a single sofa. It’ll be a bit tight.”
Jonathan’s eyes lit up. “It won’t be tight at all. I’ll scoot over. Really, it won’t be tight. Just try it.”
After saying that, he curled up desperately, trying to make as much space as possible.
Afterwards, he rubbed his hands eagerly with hopeful eyes. His eyes, which had just cried, were now free of any wariness.
Milly suddenly felt a headache.
Did he fall and hit his head instead of hurting his legs?
She inexplicably began to miss the more independent Jonathan.
“There’s no need. I’ll sit over here…
Before she could finish her words, Jonathan’s eyes reddened again. He pouted with a look of grievance. ready to burst into tears at any moment if she didn’t comply.
Milly thought for a while before sighing
Leaving with no other option, Milly reluctantly settled on the other side of the sofa..
Jonathan immediately beamed, his grin stretching from ear to ear. “Hehehe, I knew Milly is the best, the very best in the world

If he had a tail, it would wag like a propeller.
Milly said, “Thanks, but I don’t deserve it.”
Suddenly, a thought struck her. She looked at Jonathan’s leg and asked, “Didn’t you say you fell on your leg? I saw you limping earlier.”
Jonathan shrugged it off. “Oh, it’s okay. I didn’t hurt my leg. I just banged it a bit when I jumped out the window. It’s not a big deal.”
Jumped out the window?” Milly asked perplexedly.
Jonathan grinned sheepishly and explained, “I wanted to see you, but the nurses were stopping me. So, when they weren’t looking, I climbed out the window and ran away. What do you think? Super smart, huh?”
He spoke with a proud look, clearly expecting praise.
Milly’s anxiety spiked. “You’re risking your life! If the doctors didn’t want to let you out, you shouldn’t have sneaked out. What if your condition worsens? You need a full body check after a fall like that. You can’t just fool around like this. So hurry back.”
Her voice rose a few notches in her urgency.
Jonathan, now looking as if he were a scolded child, fiddled with his fingers. For a moment, the tall, imposing man seemed utterly lost.
“Don’t be mad, Milly. I just wanted to see you. Besides, I know my body well. I’m fine…”
Milly squinted her eyes at him.
Jonathan shrank back a bit but stubbornly continued, “Really, I’m okay. Do you want me to do a couple of backflips to prove it?”
His attempt at reassurance only made her angrier; her expression grew colder.
Jonathan gulped, hurriedly adding, “I swear! Don’t worry, I’ll go back right after this. I really will! I swear on Oliver’s life!”
Milly sighed again, exasperated.
The last time she was also left speechless like this.
Meanwhile, Stephanie, having lost face over the bracelet incident, had hoped Jonathan’s arrival would help her regain some dignity. However, seeing him ignore her and getting closer to Milly felt like a direct insult
to her.
How can I bear this humiliation?
