Chapter 1270

Millie’s eyelids twitched with worry. Industrial alcohol was a toxic substance that could have a

significant impact on the human blood and nervous systems. The symptoms of this liquid after

ingestion could range from mild nausea and dizziness to severe cases of blindness and cerebral palsy.

Whoever came in here clearly wanted to harm her grandmother very severely.

Anger surged within Millie as she heard this.

“Rest assured, Miss Brown. After examining your grandmother, she is doing well. The person was

caught in time and didn’t have the chance to do what he planned to do. However, after this terrifying

incident, it would be good if you stay by your grandmother at all times. That way, she wouldn’t be alone

and vulnerable,” the doctor advised.

Millie nodded.

“I will be with her at all times from now on. Thank you all for your help.”

Whoever was doing this was truly malicious. Her grandmother had just started recovering from the last

accident, and now they were trying to worsen her state.

“I’m so sorry, grandma. I should have been with you.” Millie felt guilty and responsible. If they had

succeeded, who knew how much pain her grandmother would have been in?

“You can’t blame yourself, Millie. It’s not your fault, but that of these evil people, always finding ways to

cause harm. You have no reason to feel guilty, okay?” The old woman tried comforting her

granddaughter.

Millie nodded and glanced at the doctor and nurse.

“By any chance, did you get a good look at the person that did this?”

The nurse who had rushed into the ward first shook her head.

Angela’s Library

“Unfortunately, no. He was very cunning. He had on a hat and a face mask, hiding most of his face. All

I could really notice was that he had a good physique, and was a male.”

Millie furrowed her brows, subconsciously thinking of the Travis man who had harassed her.

He was suspicious from the moment he saw her. At first, he seemed polite, but in the car, he became

bold and aggressive.

After the doctor and nurse left, Tobin, who hadn’t left yet, was deep in thought.

“Mr. Nicolas, you look thoughtful. What’s on your mind?” Millie asked.

“Honestly, this is a little too much. I think that the person who tried to harm your grandmother again did

so with the aim of keeping you trapped here. It seems that they don’t want you in Preagend.”

Tobin explained his thoughts.

Millie’s eyes narrowed as she listened to him.

Tobin pursed his lips and continued, “Just looking at it on the surface, it seems that your grandmother is

the target here. But I think you’re the one being targeted. Your grandmother is the closest relative you

have, and if anything happens to her, you’ll forcefully stay here to take care of her. Miss Brown, I think

you should hurry back to Preagend and find out who is behind this. Otherwise, they won’t stop.”

Millie stopped tucking her grandmother’s comforter, feeling numb all over. Tobin was right. They made

it look like they were after her grandmother, when they were actually targeting her.

She had been trapped in the countryside, away from the Thomas Group, and from Marcus. This is what

many people wanted.

Nancy, Rhea, even Gianna and Mia had to be delighted. When Shera’s name came to mind, Millie’s

expression darkened.
