Chapter 1228

“I understand. How is grandma doing?”

“The police have apprehended the perpetrator, although he was hired to harm my grandmother. We

haven’t identified the person who orchestrated it yet. Based on the available information, this individual

seems to be from Preagend. I believe they’re attempting to get at me, knowing that hurting my

grandmother would deeply trouble me.”

Marcus grimaced. It seemed that the car accident had been deliberately arranged.

“I’ll arrange for an investigation into this person. Meanwhile, please take good care of yourself.”

“Okay. I will,” said Millie.

Shera subtly clenched the leather seat. She needed to be cautious not to reveal too much. The

situation was delicate.

Shera covered her mouth, pretending to cough.

Marcus stared at her with a questioning look. She promptly explained that she couldn’t help the cough

due to a cold.

Millie, overhearing the exchange, was briefly taken aback. Was Marcus escorting a woman home?

The more you loved someone, the more suspicious you’d become.

Hearing no immediate response from Millie, Marcus was concerned about a misunderstanding.

“Sweetheart?”

“Sweetheart, are you dropping off a female friend?”

Worried that Millie might jump to conclusions if he mentioned that the woman was Shera, he offered a

reassuring explanation.

“Yes, just an old friend of mine. I’ll introduce you to her when you’re back.”

Millie remained composed.

“Alright, I have to go now. Grandma’s infusion is almost done. I’ll call the nurse.”

She trusted him, a testament to her love for him.

A similar situation had occurred before, but on that occasion, when she hurried over, nothing untoward

had happened between Kaya and Marcus.

But an old female friend? Millie never heard him mention an old friend like that.

Before ending the call, she added, “Oh, and I have some good news for you. Grandma has woken up.”

Twenty minutes later, at the entrance of the Evans family estate.

Marcus parked the car and stated, “We’re here.”

The sound of the car’s engine drew a servant from the house, holding an umbrella.
