Chapter 226 A Careful Confession

• “It’s alright, Victoria. If you don’t dare tell him, I’ll speak to Mr. Ruiz for you,” Mila offered quickly, eager to help resolve what she saw as a delicate problem.
• Of course, Natalia couldn’t allow Mila to speak directly—but she also couldn’t appear too eager. She hesitated before answering, her voice soft and uncertain.“Mila… my mind hasn’t been in a good state these past few days. Dr. Ryan treated me last time, and I keep worrying… if I tell Mr. Ruiz, will he think I’m doing it on purpose? I’ve already caused so much trouble. What if he gets tired of me?”
• Talking about this with a maid was pointless, yet Natalia deliberately tugged at Mila’s sympathy. Since arriving at the villa, she had always been considerate and gentle toward her. Mila would never respond harshly.
