Chapter 498
Millieâs voice was shaky and loud. Just as Samuel was about to answer her, someone tapped Millie on the shoulder.
âCome with me, Mills,â Thomas said.
Millis was taken aback. âUncle Thomasâ¦â
Thomas cast a lingering gaze on Millie and smiled. âHmm. You still have a conscience. I thought you were truly going to leave.â
âGrandma had an accident.â Millie was sad.
Thomasâs expression turned serious as he escorted Millie down a secluded hallway, leading to a private emergency room.
At the end of the hallway, Millie caught a glimpse of her family. Arthur was sitting silently on the couch, while Terrence stood by the door with Julia in his arms
As soon as Millie and Thomas arrived, everyone glanced up. When they noticed Millie, they were surprised, yet not completely surprised.
âMom! Why didnât you inform me?â Millie was upset.
If she had turned off her phone, she would have missed the news and only found out about it after landing. In the end, she would still fly back.
âI thought her condition wasnât severe,â Julia explained
Millie glanced at the emergency room and wondered what it meant and if Layla was seriously hurt.
âWhen she was taken to the hospital, her arm was injured just like Samâs. The doctor just came out to inform me that her armâ¦â
Millie was utterly shocked and deeply concerned about Laylaâs arm. Layla had dedicated her entire life to practicing medicine, and her arm was more vital to her than anything else. She wondered what Julia meant by this.
âLetâs wait for the final result, Terrence interrupted Julia with a sigh.
Millie was stunned by the news, holding onto hope as long as the doctor hadnât delivered the worst.
ââ¦â Millie hesitated for a moment before turning to leave.
âWhere are you going, Mills? Canât you wait for your grandma?â Julia shouted.
âMom, Iâll make sure everything is okay with Grandmaâs arm,â Millie said, looking serious but with a slightly choked tone.
Julia didnât stop her, understanding that Millie couldnât accept this fact.
Millie wanted to enter the emergency room using a different identity. She couldnât just sit and do nothing.
Sebastian was performing surgery on Layla in the emergency room. Orthopedics was his specialty. However, he was stressed at the moment.

Chapter 498
Layla was in her 70s, and her bones were not as sturdy as those of younger people. The fractures, broken bones, and severed nerves from the car accident, combined with years of accumulated illnesses, left Laylaâs right arm severely damaged.
The moment Sebastian saw Millie, it was as if he had found a savior. Just as he was about to call Millieâs name, she shook her head and said, âDr. Lloyd, Iâm here to assist you.â
Sebastian frowned as he reluctantly shared the worst outcome with Millie. âThereâs a chance that Professor Cadmoreâs arm canât be recovered.â
Millie shook her head. âDr. Lloyd, this will be a huge blow to her.â
âIâll try my best,â he said:
Millie carefully considered her options and decided to take action. âDr. Lloyd, I propose to combine traditional medicine with your surgical treatment, followed by acupuncture. What do you think?â
âOkay. Stop the bleeding now.â The fact that the aorta was still bleeding was extremely concerning. Layla was on the operating table wearing a breathing mask. She used to be elegant, but she was now covered in blood.
Millie bit her lip nervously. She couldnât imagine what Layla must have been thinking at that moment.
Being a doctor herself, Layla should have known the severity of her arm injury. But did she truly realize how serious it was?
