“Have you taken your friend home? However, right now, it wouldn’t be possible to shift her to another


    hospital. You know how rough the route to Preagend can be. I wouldn’t want to take any risks.”


    In truth, even if her grandmother could be transferred to another hospital, she would refuse to leave.


    She was determined to stay in the ce where her grandfather wasid to rest.


    “Yeah, she’s at home. So, what’s the n? It’s going to be quite a while before grandma fully recovers.


    I really don’t want us to be apart for such a long time.”


    Millie felt helplee.


    “Who told me to head back to the countryside to keep my grandmapany? Now you’re asking me to


    return?”


    Hearing her response, Marcus adjusted his position and reclined a bit.


    At that time, he was concerned that his emotions might spiral out of control and potentially harm her, so


    he thought it best to create some temporary distance between them.


    Her words made him realize that perhaps it was better for her to remain in the countryside.


    Even so, he truly missed her.

    “What happened to your leg? I wanted to ask you about itst night, but you were sleeping so soundly.”


    The main reason Marcus had called was to inquire about this.


    Millie rolled up her trousers to reveal the injury.


    “It’s actually really strange. Yesterday afternoon, after I dropped off Mr. Green at the airport and was


    returning to the parking lot, I got electrocuted and cked out. When I regained consciousness, I had


    this wound on my leg. I can’t fathom why someone would knock me out and then inflict this kind of


    injury.”


    Upon hearing the news, Marcus was gripped by fear. At the airport, Millie had passed out; Luckily, she


    wasn’t abducted.


    “You woke up with a cut on your leg? Anything else out of the ordinary?”


    The oddity wasn’t lost on Marcus. Why would someone make Millie faint only to leave a small cut on


    her leg?


    “Exactly, it puzzles me too. What was happening? I was in a blind spot for surveince when I was


    attacked. A woman assaulted me; she was heavily cloaked with just her eyes visible. I’ve never seen


    those eyes before.”


    Marcus felt a chill run down his spine. A stranger, a woman that Millie had neverid eyes on before.


    His gaze drifted to the Evans family’s front gate. Could it be Shera?


    Yet, Shera had never struck him as a malicious person.


    From beyond the bathroom door, a raspy voice called out, “Millie?


    Could you bring me some water?”


    “I’ll be right there, Grandma,” Millie answered.
