Chapter 314 Would It Be a Ring? 

Jordan’s mood darkened when he and Anthony left Milly’s ward. Anthony couldn’t help but take a step back. 

He was terrified by Jordan’s aura.. 

Jordan eyed the nurse standing nearby and asked coldly, “Has Milly been seeing anyone here in the past few days? Or has she gotten particularly close to someone?” 

The nurse thought for a moment before shaking her head. “No, Mr. Burnett. Ms. Burnett has been recovering in her room the whole time, with only doctors and nurses coming in to check on her. No strangers have visited her.” 

No strangers have visited… 

Jordan frowned, looking exceptionally serious. Milly’s tone when she said she wanted to pursue someone was not impulsive but seemed like a well–thought–out decision. She was always clear–headed and knew what she wanted, so the person she wanted to pursue was likely someone she already knew. 

Moreover, her demeanour today was drastically different from yesterday’s, indicating she made this decision after seeing that person. But, the nurse said no strangers had visited. 

Jordan knew the nurse wouldn’t lie since there wasn’t any benefit to doing that, and she wouldn’t dare offend the Burnetts. The only possibility was that the person was also in the hospital and had met her without anyone noticing. 

This was a hospital for the upper class. The Burnetts had made significant investments, so they were familiar with the doctors and nurses here, and Jordan was sure none of them knew Milly. 

So, the only possibility left was that the person Milly wanted to pursue was a patient in this hospital! 

However, patient information was private and confidential. Even with his investments, the hospital wouldn’t disclose such information due to their ethics. The patients here were all wealthy people with security measures in place. It would be difficult for Jordan to investigate them. 

Anthony quickly understood Jordan’s thoughts. 

Despite usually appearing carefree and simple–minded around Milly, Anthony was raised by the Burnetts and he had a ruthless nature. 

He wouldn’t show this side of him unless necessary. 

However, he was enraged now. “Jordán, why don’t you let me investigate this?” 

Jordan frowned. “You?” 

Anthony nodded and explained, /I’m the most suitable one to do this right now. 

“If we send a private investigator, even though they are professionals, they’re unfamiliar with Milly’s social circle, making the investigation difficult. Milly is smart. It wouldn’t look good if she found out about it. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Milly may not have noticed it if we asked a nurse for help, but a nurse can’t move around freely in the hospital too. So, I’m the best option.”

Chapter 314 Would It Be a Ring” 

Anthony’s analysis was spot on. 

Jordan pondered momentarily and agreed that Anthony was the best choice. Even if he was discovered, he could say he was just visiting someone. 

“Alright, but be careful not to let Milly know,” Jordan said. 

Anthony nodded. “Don’t worry, Jordan. I know what to do. But…” 

He hesitated and frowned. “What should I do once I find out who it is? Should I beat him up and ruin his face so Milly won’t be attracted to him anymore?” 

Jordan rolled his eyes. Just a moment ago, Anthony had been analysing the situation like a smart guy, and now he was acting foolish. 

Ruining the man’s face would only make him play the victim in front of Milly, causing more trouble. 

“No, there’s no need to go that far. He went through all this trouble to get close to Milly because he found out about her identity. No one can resist money. We’ll give him enough money to leave Milly and never come back again.” 

Anthony thought momentarily and asked, “What if he isn’t interested in money?” 

Jordan replied, “Then I guess we’re not offering enough money.” 

Anthony was at a loss for words. 

Jordan’s expression was as cold as ice. 

Though he had agreed to let Milly pursue someone, it was only to keep her calm for now, as she was still recovering. He didn’t want her to be unhappy. 

Agreeing to her didn’t mean he wasn’t against it. 

Putting aside the man’s motives for approaching Milly, just the fact that he wanted her to make the first move indicated he wasn’t a nice man. Playing hard to get showed he wouldn’t take responsibility in the future. Rather than letting Milly suffer later, it was better to end things now! 

When Milly arrived on the seventh floor with the apple she had carved into a rabbit shape, the once- crowded hallway was now empty and quiet. 

She knocked gently on the door and asked softly, “Is anyone there? Can I come in?” 

George’s stern expression softened/immediately when he heard Milly’s voice. 

Danny, who was quick–witted, put away the documents. “Mr. Tate, I’ll make a move first.” 

George nodded. 

Danny opened the door and smiled brightly at Milly. “Hello, Ms. Milly. Mr. Tate is still awake. Please come in.” 

“Thank you.”

Chapter 314 Would It Be a Ring? 

After she entered George’s ward, Danny closed the door for them. 

An awesome assistant has to know how to read the room! 

George was leaning against the headboard, his face still pale but looking much better than when he first woke up. 

Milly got closer to him and handed him an opaque crystal box. Her eyes were full of anticipation. “Mr. Tate, here’s a gift for you.” 

George was stunned at the weight of the crystal box. 

This box… could it be a ring? 

Yesterday Milly said she’d start pursuing me, and today she was already giving me a ring? Isn’t that a little quick? 

He hadn’t intended to deceive her by pretending to have amnesia. When he had just woken up yesterday, the blood loss and dizziness made his mind foggy. So, his mind was blank when he saw Milly.
