The doctor was taken aback, but he surmised that Marcus was afraid of upsetting his wife. And that


    was why he didn’t dare say anything against Millie.


    But as a doctor, he was of the belief that the patient’s well-being should always be the foremost


    concern.


    “Mr. Thomas, you should continue to rest on the patient’s bed. The bed’s design and features are


    intended for yourfort and are tailored ording to your needs,” the doctor exined with a


    reassuring gesture. “Millie is in good health and can easily manage to sleep on the sofa; it won’t be an


    issue.”


    Marcus spoke earnestly, his tone grave as he asserted, “My wife’s health isn’t at its best. She’s quite


    slender and truly needs a good rest.”

    Millie waspletely speechless by Marcus’s statement. She thought that Marcus’s words seemed to


    discredit her even more.


    “Uh…” The doctor scratched his head, pondering that Marcus appeared to be quite intimidated by his


    wife. This was a pure servitude. But, he couldn’t overlook the fact that Marcus was tall and robust.


    As the doctor was preparing to make another attempt to persuade Marcus, Millie hurriedly stepped in


    and got a hold of him.


    “Honey, please go to bed and lie down. I’ll assist you. The doctor needs to examine your condition,”


    she said, concerncing her voice.


    Millie had always been a gentle and caring person. However, in the eyes of these doctors, her recent


    actions had transformed her from a kind and gentle woman into someone they perceived as stern and


    unyielding.


    Her husband had just undergone surgery, and here she was upying his bed. In the eyes of the


    onlookers, she appeared rather inconsiderate, who didn’t know the value of her husband.


    Millie guided Marcus to the bedside, gently urging him to take a seat, and spoke with tenderness in her


    voice, “Honey, please Lie down.”

    She moved her hands to arrange the pillows for hisfort.


    After lying down, Marcus gazed at her affectionately and implored, “Please don’t be angry, okay?”


    She squinted her eyes. Was he trying to portray her as strange to others?


    “I’m not angry. Don’t think too much.”


    Turning towards the doctor, she awkwardly informed him, “You can proceed now.”


    The doctor approached Marcus, inserted the needle into his body, and proceeded to use the instrument


    for further examination.


    After checking him thoroughly, the doctor reported, “His heartbeat is normal; his blood pressure is


    within the expected range, but he has an elevated temperature.”


    Subsequently, he conducted a thorough examination of the ster and came to the conclusion that the


    recovery was progressing satisfactorily.


    Millie Listened attentively, genuinely concerned about Marcus’s well-being. When the doctor affirmed


    that he was in good health, she felt a sense of relief wash over her.


    “Mr. Thomas, your gunshot wound isn’t currently a serious concern, but to be frank, your old wound…”


    “I’m aware of that. Thank you. I’m exhausted now. You can proceed to check on other patients.”


    Marcus interrupted the doctor.


    The doctor who was recording the data exchanged a confused nce with the main doctor. “Alright, Mr.


    Thomas, get some rest.” He turned to leave the room.


    After walking a few paces, the doctors turned back to cast a concerned nce at Millie.
