Millie’s eyelids twitched with worry. Industrial alcohol was a toxic substance that could have a


    significant impact on the human blood and nervous systems. The symptoms of this liquid after


    ingestion could range from mild nausea and dizziness to severe cases of blindness and cerebral palsy.


    Whoever came in here clearly wanted to harm her grandmother very severely.


    Anger surged within Millie as she heard this.


    “Rest assured, Miss Brown. After examining your grandmother, she is doing well. The person was


    caught in time and didn’t have the chance to do what he nned to do. However, after this terrifying


    incident, it would be good if you stay by your grandmother at all times. That way, she wouldn’t be alone


    and vulnerable,” the doctor advised.


    Millie nodded.


    “I will be with her at all times from now on. Thank you all for your help.”


    Whoever was doing this was truly malicious. Her grandmother had just started recovering from thest


    ident, and now they were trying to worsen her state.


    “I’m so sorry, grandma. I should have been with you.” Millie felt guilty and responsible. If they had


    seeded, who knew how much pain her grandmother would have been in?


    “You can’t me yourself, Millie. It’s not your fault, but that of these evil people, always finding ways to


    cause harm. You have no reason to feel guilty, okay?” The old woman triedforting her


    granddaughter.


    Millie nodded and nced at the doctor and nurse.


    “By any chance, did you get a good look at the person that did this?”


    The nurse who had rushed into the ward first shook her head.

    “Unfortunately, no. He was very cunning. He had on a hat and a face mask, hiding most of his face. All


    I could really notice was that he had a good physique, and was a male.”


    Millie furrowed her brows, subconsciously thinking of the Travis man who had harassed her.


    He was suspicious from the moment he saw her. At first, he seemed polite, but in the car, he became


    bold and aggressive.


    After the doctor and nurse left, Tobin, who hadn’t left yet, was deep in thought.


    “Mr. Nics, you look thoughtful. What’s on your mind?” Millie asked.

    “Honestly, this is a little too much. I think that the person who tried to harm your grandmother again did


    so with the aim of keeping you trapped here. It seems that they don’t want you in Preagend.”


    Tobin exined his thoughts.


    Millie’s eyes narrowed as she listened to him.


    Tobin pursed his lips and continued, “Just looking at it on the surface, it seems that your grandmother is


    the target here. But I think you’re the one being targeted. Your grandmother is the closest rtive you


    have, and if anything happens to her, you’ll forcefully stay here to take care of her. Miss Brown, I think


    you should hurry back to Preagend and find out who is behind this. Otherwise, they won’t stop.”


    Millie stopped tucking her grandmother’sforter, feeling numb all over. Tobin was right. They made


    it look like they were after her grandmother, when they were actually targeting her.


    She had been trapped in the countryside, away from the Thomas Group, and from Marcus. This is what


    many people wanted.


    Nancy, Rhea, even Gianna and Mia had to be delighted. When Shera’s name came to mind, Millie’s


    expression darkened.
