Chapter 543

Millie stood still for a moment before promptly filling a bowl of soup for her.

Accepting the offering, Celeste blew gently to cool the broth, sipping it gracefully.

Her reaction was one of astonishment—the fish soup was remarkably delicious.

Surveying Millie from head to toe, Celeste found herself taken aback. The soup Millie had prepared

was unexpectedly impressive.

Despite the prevailing notion that Millie was inept, her recent achievements had begun to reshape

Celeste’s perception.

It was quite remarkable that Millie, once an unremarkable presence, had managed to outshine Nancy

in Snow Mountain Villa through her design skills.

Celeste regarded her curiously, prompting Millie to take a deep breath and lift the thermos pot.

“I need to head to the hospital.”

Once at the hospital, Millie dutifully served her grandmother a portion of fish soup.

“Grandma, how does it taste?”

Summoning a delicate smile, her elderly grandmother praised her, “Delightful. Your culinary prowess

has truly flourished.”

Millie blushed, attributing her culinary prowess to the teachings of her grandmother.

Following the meal, her grandmother succumbed to sleep. Teresa revealed that her grandmother’s

tendency to fall asleep more frequently was a cause for concern.

It was well past midnight when Millie finally left.

She was on the brink of departing when a familiar voice called her name.

“Millie.”

A short distance away, Patrick disembarked from a car and made his way toward her.

Millie was taken aback. “Why are you here?”

Patrick concocted a plausible explanation. “I’ve been feeling somewhat unwell, so I came for a check-

up.”

Gazing at Millie, Patrick found himself still mesmerized by her. She might have lost weight, but her

allure remained intact.

“Aren’t you working at Skyline anymore?” Patrick had frequented Skyline on numerous occasions, but a

sighting of Millie had eluded him.

“No, I worked there temporarily for a friend. Once she returned, my presence was no longer required.”
