Chapter 312
Chapter 312 Apple Bunnies
PS Pharks
When Jordan and Anthony visited Milly in the hospital, they found her frowning intently as she tried to peel an apple. The nurse stood nervously beside her, worried she might cut herself. "Ms. Burnett, let me do that for you."
Milly made another attempt. "No, I can do it myself."
However, she had overestimated herself. Her hand hadn't fully healed, and every action was painful. Since she didn't know how to peel apples, she made a mess.
Milly took a bite at the disfigured apple in her hand.
"Sigh!"
Peeling apples was harder than solving advanced calculus.
Jordan and Anthony entered her ward and noticed her looking frustrated.
"Milly, what's wrong? Is your hand hurting again? Why do you look so upset?" Anthony asked worriedly as he approached her.
Milly took a bite of the apple, shaking her head. "My hand doesn't hurt. It's just that peeling apples is so hard."
Anthony raised an eyebrow. "What's so hard about it? I can peel one for you anytime."
Milly still wasn't interested. "But I want it in the shape of a little bunny. Can you do that, Anthony?"
"Uhh..."
Anthony had only intended to simply peel the apple, carving it into a bunny was beyond his skills.
At this moment, Jordan took off his suit jacket and handed it to the nurse. He looked at the mess that Milly had created and then at her frustrated expression.
He reached out to ruffle her hair and asked, "What kind of shape do you want?"
Milly's dull eyes lit up instantly. She showed him a picture on her phone. "Jordan, I want it like this. A bunny shape."
The picture on the phone was probably downloaded from the internet, with a bit of a filter, but it was indeed cute.
Jordan washed his hands, rolled up his sleeves, picked up an apple, and started carving. In no time, he had made a decent bunny shape.
Though his skills were a bit rusty, it still looked quite good.
Milly eagerly reached out with both hands while looking at Jordan with admiration. "Wow, Jordan, you're amazing! You saw it once and carved it perfectly. Cool!" Jordan looked calm on the outside but the joy in his eyes was evident. "I'm glad that you like it."

He then picked up another apple and asked, "Do you want me to carve another one?"
Milly tilted her head and requested, "Why don't you teach me, Jordan? I want to carve one myself."
Jordan, who always fulfilled Milly's requests, agreed without hesitation.
But he was worried about her injured hand and repeatedly warned her to carve just one, fearing more would cause her pain.
Milly nodded with a smile.
Milly was smart and quickly got the hang of it.
Anthony, uninterested in their activities, sat on the couch watching them while eating the oxidized apple pieces Milly had previously butchered.
The more he watched, the more pointless it seemed. No matter how it looked, it would all be chewed up in the end.
"Milly, why are you learning this? It looks dangerous. If you like it, you could just hire a chef to do it for you. Our family chef can carve a lively crane out of a melon."
Milly focused on her apple, replying, "It's different. No matter how well someone else carves, it can't compare to doing it myself. It's the thought that counts."
Anthony was stunned and he stopped eating the apples. "The thought that counts? Milly, are you giving this to someone?" He asked curiously.
Milly didn't look up. "Yes, I think peeling the apples for them is not thoughtful enough, so I'm trying to carve a bunny. It's really cute. I've been practising, but luckily Jordan helped." Anthony, realising she was indeed making it for someone, felt competitive and eagerly asked, "Milly, is it for me? To celebrate us getting into the same department?" Milly shook her head. "No."
Anthony looked disappointed but he kept on asking. He needed to know who it was.
"Is it for Matthew? His birthday is at the end of the month, right?"
Milly was surprised. "Matthew's birthday is coming up? I haven't prepared a gift yet."
Well, it's not Matthew then.
"Is it for Apollo?"
Milly shook her head again.
Anthony listed everyone he could think of, even asking about the family's servants and bodyguards, but Milly kept shaking her head.
Anthony was getting frustrated as his

pride was on the line. "Who is it, Milly? Is it a man or woman? Do we know them? Are they from the Burnett family? A friend, classmate. or teacher? Who is worthy enough

for you to do this?"
Milly, now finishing her apple carving, was irritated by Anthony's chatter. She snapped, "It's a secret!"
Anthony was devastated.
Milly is dating someone!
Although Anthony was annoying, he did give Milly an idea. If I wanted to pursue George, just carving an apple might be too subtle. Maybe I needed to do something more.
Hmm...
What should I do? There wasn't a manual on how to pursue someone.
In Milly's previous life, despite being stunning, her manager kept a strict watch over her, leaving no room for anyone to pursue her.
So, she had no experience of love at all.

"Ahem, Jordan, Anthony, do you ... know how to pursue someone?"
The atmosphere became tense. Anthony's eyes widened in disbelief, and Jordan stopped carving the apple.
