Chapter 174 Life Was Truly Difficult
Milly felt a deep ache in her heart watching Apollo react this way.
She couldn’t imagine what kind of treatment he had endured in that dark, sunless laboratory that made him react so strongly to the sight of white lab coats and medical supplies.
Despite his fear and resistance, whenever she hugged him, he always tried to control his actions to avoid hurting her.
This side of Apollo overlapped perfectly with the frail little figure in her memories.
They were both equally scatty.
Milly held back her tears and gently took Apollo’s wrist to comfort him. “Apollo, how about I put the medicine on instead? Is that okay?”
Apollo’s body continued to tremble uncontrollably, his blood–red eyes fixed on the doctor. “Ah! Ah–woo ah
The doctor, already several steps back and sweating profusely, felt relieved at Milly’s suggestion and looked at her gratefully.
“That’s fine, it’s very simple. Just stop the bleeding.”
Milly nodded.
She picked up the medicine bottle and bandages from the table, shaking them gently in front of Apollo. “Let me bandage you up, alright? After that, we can go to sleep.
Without the presence of strangers and their unfamiliar scents, Apollo’s emotions quickly calmed down.
He tilted his head, looking at Milly’s gentle smile, and responded obediently, “Ah? Ah–woo…”
Milly beamed. “Good boy.”
While soothing Apollo, she followed the doctor’s instructions to apply the medicine and bandage his wounds. The process went so smoothly that the doctor watched in astonishment.
After Milly finished, she put the medicine bottle and bandages back into the medical kit. Apollo, watching her, suddenly grabbed her sleeve and began to cry out urgently, “Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Milly didn’t understand. “What’s wrong?”
Apollo anxiously pawed at the medical kit, unable to open it but clearly wanting to convey something. even using his teeth in his effort.
Milly quickly opened the kit, curious to see what he wanted to do.
He immediately found the medicine used on him earlier, took out the bandages, and placed them in Milly’s hand, pointing to a faint scratch on the back of her hand. “Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah…
Milly raised an eyebrow, realising what he meant. “You want me to put medicine on myself too?”

Seeing his worried expression, Milly felt a warm surge in her heart. “You protected me so well earlier that I don’t have any injuries. I don’t need any medicine.”
During the explosion, Apollo had shielded her perfectly, helping her avoid the blast zone. She wasn’t hurt, just a bit bruised from the fall, nothing serious.
“Ah–woo?”
“Really, if you don’t believe me, just look. There’s no blood here.” Milly smiled, pulling up her sleeve to show her uninjured arm.
“Ah–woo…”
Apollo blinked, his face blank, staring intently at Milly. Watching her smile at him, he tried to mimic it.
But he didn’t know how to smile, so his attempt looked more like a grimace, baring his teeth like a little beast.
Milly was delighted and started to teach him. “Apollo, look at me. Like this, lift the corners of your mouth…”
“Ah–woo?”
“Not down, up, like this. That’s a smile.”
…Ah? Ah–woo?”
“Yes, yes, you’re amazing! You learned an expression so quickly!”
While the atmosphere was warm and harmonious on one side, it was tense and foreboding on the other.
The doctor stood trembling beside George, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “Mr. Tate, you have injuries too. Should I apply medicine now?”
The doctor thought to himself how unlucky he was. First, there was the one who seemed ready to eat him alive, and now this one looks like he could scare him to death!
No wonder people say making money is hard these days.
George sat on a leather armchair, his shirt stained with blood. Yet, he seemed oblivious to the pain, his eyes fixed on the interaction between Milly and Apollo a short distance away, the air around him growing even colder.
He regretted it now. He should have given Milly a cannon or an atomic bomb for protection instead.
Now it was clear, Milly was very fond of this experiment subject. It was one thing for her to name him Apollo, but now she was personally bandaging his wounds, showing incredible patience and not the slightest bit of disdain.
Thinking about how he had spent money on Apollo only to give him away, George became even more infuriated!
His eves turned dark, and his fingers tapped irritably on the armrest of the sofa. “No need. You can
EO.

The doctor was stunned. “But your injuries…”
Danny, quickly grasping George’s intention, hurriedly intervened. “Mr. Tate doesn’t like to be touched. His wounds aren’t deep. I’ll handle them. It’s late, you should go.
The doctor nodded. “Alright.”
Once the doctor left, Danny let out a sigh of relief.
George was jealous, seeing Milly interact with another guy, ready to kill. Who cared about wounds?
Danny asked after clearing his throat, “Mr. Tate, the doctor is gone, but your wounds still need attention. Should I ask Ms. Milly to help?”
George shot him a cold glance, his frosty demeanour unchanged. “Mind your own business!”
Despite his words, the tapping of his fingers on the sofa slowed noticeably.
Danny broke into a sweat.
Everyone envied his high salary, but who knew it was earned at the risk of his life, especially dealing with a CEO who didn’t mean what he said.
Life was truly difficult!
Taking a deep breath, Danny, suppressing his fear of Apollo, slowly moved towards Milly and cautiously asked, “Ms. Milly, do you have a moment? Could you help Mr. Tate with his wounds?”
Milly was taken aback. “Where’s the doctor?”
Danny forced a smile. “The doctor was frightened and left.”
Milly looked at him. “Can’t you help him?”
Danny replied, “I need to fix the car.”
“Fix the car in the middle of the night?”
“Yes, the other cars aren’t here, and Mr. Tate needs it for work tomorrow. It’s urgent, it can’t wait.”
“And what about the other servants?”
“They’re all busy, and besides, Mr. Tate has a thing about cleanliness. He doesn’t want ..”
As Danny struggled to persuade Milly, a sudden angry shout interrupted him.
“Danny!”
The shout, laced with fury, wasn’t loud but was especially intimidating in the silent hall.
