The First Heir

Anna just watched with red eyes as she blamed herself. “Mr. Clarke, I’m sorry. I didn’t protect Mila.”

Philip shook his head and said, “I’m not here to listen to your apologies. I’m here to thank you.”

“Thank me?”

Anna was puzzled.

Philip cut the peeled apple into cubes, then poked a piece with a toothpick. Stretching his arm out, he placed the cubed apple at the corner of Anna’s bruised mouth.

Anna was still a little apprehensive and hesitated for a moment before opening her small mouth shyly.

“If you hadn’t protected Mila with your life, she might have been tortured by them a long time ago,” Philip said with a trace of hatred in his eyes.

Anna said after a brief silence, “It’s my responsibility. It’s because of my inability that I couldn’t protect her.”

Philip paused, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Anna before saying with dissatisfaction, “I said, I’m not here to listen to you blaming yourself.”

Of course, his words contained a trace of humor—not complete dissatisfaction.

Anna was dumbfounded. She closed her small mouth as her fingers scrunched the sheets unconsciously. She dared not say anymore.
