âYour ID,â He turned around and reminded Millle. Then, Millle placed her documents on the table.
The official glanced up and asked, âAre you both sure about getting divorced? Thereâs nothing you two canât work out by staying together. In fact-â
âWeâve made up our minds,â Millie interrupted. There was a significant issue between them that they + couldnât overcomeâhe didnât love her.
Winston remained silent, his gaze fixed on the official. His demeanor was cold and unapproachable, and he seemed even more fierce with his icy expression.
The official went straight to the point and reminded them, âPlease be aware that thereâs a mandatory oneâmonth coolingâoff period for divorce. Even if you choose to proceed with your application today, it will not result in an immediate divorce. You will be required to return after one month.â
âOkay,â they replied in unison. Millie thought that this was the time they were most in sync.
The official gazed at the two of them for a moment. She seemed as if she wanted to say something. However, after a momentâs reflection, she held back.
Suddenly, the officialâs phone and Millieâs phone rang almost simultaneously.
Winston glanced at Millie, who swiftly picked up her phone and took a few steps to the side. With a bright smile, she asked, âDad, what-â
She didnât finish her sentence, and the smile on her face froze. âIs it serious?â
Winston frowned, sensing that something was amiss. Millie abruptly ended the call and turned to Winston, only to find the official was talking on the phone.
âCan I leave the documents here and have you apply for the divorce? Can I leave first?â Millie asked.
âWhat happened?â Winston was puzzled.
Millie hesitated to share the information with him, so she turned to the official. She intended to speak with her, but the official was still on the phone, repeatedly saying, âOkay, okay. I understand.â
Millie was anxious. She saw that the official was also busy, so she decided to wait for a while. However, the official didnât hang up the phone for a long time.
Finally, after hanging up, she said, âWait for me for ten minutes!â Then, she left her desk.
Millie was stunned and couldnât help but glance at the time. Overwhelmed with anxiety, she urgently grabbed Winstonâs arm and said, âWinston, letâs postpone this. Letâs schedule another appointment.
As she said that, she picked up the documents and strode out.
âMillie, what happened?â Winston was confused and quickly gathered his documents to chase after
her.
She opened the car door, but Winston blocked her way.

Millie was extremely panicked. With a worried tone, she exclaimed, âSomething happened to my grandpa, and now heâs at Bifrost Hospital, receiving emergency treatment!â
Winston was shocked. He grabbed Millleâs wrist and sald, âYou canât drive in this state. Let me take you to the hospital.â
âNo need!â Millie shook his arm off.
Winston shouted, âMillie, listen to me!â
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Millieâs wrist and forcibly pulled her into his car. He was deeply concerned about Millie driving to the hospital in her current state. What if something were to happen on the way?
Simultaneously, news spread across numerous mobile phone platforms. âMr. Arthur Caldwell suffered a sudden heart attack and has been urgently admitted to the hospital for treatment!â
Millieâs grip on her phone tightened. It was a heart attack. Arthur had always been in good health. How could he have a heart attack?
This disease was lifeâthreatening. Millieâs tears fell instantly. She called Terrence and cried out, âDad, howâs Grandpa?â
âTheyâre still trying to save him. The doctor mentioned that the situation is not looking very positive,â Terrence replied in a somber tone.
Millie immediately clenched her knee, her nails digging into her skin. âWhy did Grandpa have a sudden heart attack?â
