    “Did Leon send the medicine to your grandma? Who told you that?” Marcus emphasized “Leon”, the words soaked in skepticism.


    Millie revealed the source of her knowledge. “The doctor attending to my grandmother informed me that Mr. Thomas sent the


    medicine. It''s a specialized medication developed by a foreign agency. Considering the surname, he must be Leon. He used to


    practice medicine, so he must be aware of its effectiveness for my grandma.”


    She then expressed with gratitude and a touch of emotion, “It’s surprising that he would extend his help discreetly. He’s always


    been distant and reserved. Despite not knowing the reason behind his silence, I’ll cherish and remember his act of kindness.”


    Apeculiar emotion flickered in Marcus’ eyes as he realized Millie mistook Mr. Thomas mentioned by the doctor for Leon. It


    became evident that she had underestimated him, not fullyprehending his potential actions.


    Observing Marcus’ morose expression, Millie asked, “Did | err? You appear disconcerted.”


    Marcus chose silence over exnation. Let her believe what she wanted.


    “On another note, | n to stay at the hospital. My grandmother needs me,” Millie said. Her growing anxiety for her grandmother


    had strengthened her resolve to stay by her bedside.


    “No, as part of the Thomas family, you abide by its traditions, which include returning home each day,” Marcus retorted.


    The hospital environment teemed with viruses, and the mere idea of Millie staying there indefinitely filled Marcus with concern.


    “You are incredibly heartless!” Millie eximed, her emotions pouring forth with a mix of disappointment and frustration.


    In truth, whenever Millie visited the hospital, her grandmother would insist on her swift departure, urging her not to worry if she


    was awake. After her marriage, Grandma consistently emphasized the importance of prioritizing family above all else.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Her grandmother’s selflessness reaffirmed her belief that she was blessed with the best grandma in the world.


    “Speaking of which, when will your friend return?”


    “Soon,” she replied.


    Apanying Millie to the entrance of Skyline, Marcus bid her farewell and headed towards thepany.


    The workday wound down, and as Millie was about to hail a cab, an unfamiliar, rotund woman approached her.


    “Miss, could you please guide me on how to reach this ce? I’vee to the city to visit my rtive, and it''s my first time here,


    so I’m having trouble finding my way.”


    The person asked Millie for assistance with a hint of uncertainty.


    The woman presented Millie with a piece of paper, indicating an address: Dury’s Alley.


    Familiarity washed over Millie; she knew the location well. It was an old, isted alley a considerable distance away.


    “I''m acquainted with the area. You just head straight for about 200 meters, then make a right at the intersection, and keep


    going...”


    The woman interrupted Millie, saying, “Could you perhaps apany me? I’m not as young as | used to be, and | have difficulty


    remembering directions. | fear | might lose my way in such a vast city. If that happens, | honestly don’t know what my next step


    would be.” She had an embarrassed smile on her face.
