Rachel instantly knew the answer when Millle stayed silent. âAre you hesitant to end it with him?â
Millie poured herself a glass of water and sighed. âItâs not me, itâs my ID.â
Rachel was confused. âYour ID?â
âMy ID card went missing when I needed it the most. I had no choice but to wait for a new one before I can finalize the divorce,â Millie explained, taking a sip of water. She then walked over to the window and gazed outside, her eyes weary.
Rachel sighed. âYour marriage started off rocky, but why is your divorce just as difficult?â
Millie laughed. Her divorce was indeed troublesome. If she hadnât planned to divorce that day, she wouldnât have realized her ID card was missing.
âMills, Iâm going to a gala in a few days. Want to come?
âWhat kind of gala?â she asked.
âItâs a gathering of the entertainment industry. Big directors, celebrities, wellâknown investors and entertainment company owners will be there. Even your uncle, Thomas,â Rachel replied casually.
âIâll let you know. Iâve been shadowing Dr. Quinn in the operating room, so my schedule is pretty packed right now.â Millie sighed.
âCome on. Iâm sure you can make it. Let me introduce you to the vibrant entertainment industry! Anyway, I have to get back to work. Bye,â Rachel said before abruptly ending the call.
She had always been like that, always in a rush. She started conversations quickly and ended them just as fast. Millie had grown accustomed to her rapid pace.
âWhereâs Dr. Caldwell? Come out, Dr. Caldwell! How dare she involve herself in my family matters! That bitch treated my wife without my permission. Did I give my consent? Did she ask for my approval? Tell her to come and face me!â A man was cursing loudly near the nursesâ station.
Millie turned with her phone in her hand and saw Hazel hurrying toward her. She pulled Millie aside and said, âDr. Caldwell, Dr. Quinn asked you to hide.â
âWhat happened?â Millie asked, confused as Hazel pushed her away.
âCaraâs husband is here! Heâs here to cause trouble for you!â Hazel exclaimedâanxiously.
Millie paused and asked, âHow will you handle the situation if I leave?â
Kaneâs behavior was unpredictable and could potentially harm others.
âDonât worry. Dr. Quinn asked us to protect you,â Hazel replied seriously.
Millie shook her head. âI donât need protection. This was my decision, and Iâll face the consequences on my own.â
She walked to the nursesâ station while calling the police. Her tone was harsh and determined. âIâm calling from Bifrost Hospital. We have a situation in the Cardiac Surgery Department involving a disruptive patientâs family member. Urgent assistance from the police is needed.â

Hazel was shocked by Millieâs determination. She reminded her, âDr. Caldwell, be careful. Heâs a lunatic.â
Millie nodded, âGot it.â
The nursesâ station was crowded. Just as Millie tried to make her way through, she heard a man curse. Iâm only looking for Dr. Caldwell. Get her out here!â
âShe helped treat your wifeâs illness. You should be grateful. Whatâs the matter with you?â someone criticized him.
Kane glared at the person and retorted, âI didnât ask her to treat my wife or for her help. Even if sheâs cured, what about the future? She still canât have children and can only stay at home to recover.â
He waved a dagger around. âIs she going to cover future medical expenses? Caraâs life is worthless, so why not just let her die? She doesnât deserve to be saved. Why not save those who truly deserve it?â
Finally, Millie managed to get through after he finished speaking. Lainey frowned upon seeing her, as she had asked Millie not to show up.
Kane frowned and carefully scrutinized Millie, as if judging her.
