Chapter: 597

Derek grappled with his response.

A male and a female body lay still. It seemed inconceivable that the female body wasn’t Millie’s.

However, Derek maintained honesty, stating, “The findings are still pending.”

While the outcome remained pending, the answer was certain.

Marcus’ finger quivered.

Millie had entered his life suddenly. When he resented her and contemplated divorce, she vanished.

Inexplicably, Marcus felt Millie was toying with him, ensuring he’d never forget her.

Marcus stood amidst the darkness, his demeanor akin to a rudderless ship in the cold sea.

Derek ventured cautiously. “Millie’s grandmother underwent surgery, with Leon as the lead surgeon.

Would you like to visit?”

With thoughtful eyes, Marcus closed them briefly, turned, and directed, “Let’s head to the hospital.”

They arrived outside the operating theater. Marcus’ gaze flicked to the crimson light above the door,

lips pursed in silence.

Lois, wearing a grave expression, also hovered outside the operating theater. Upon Marcus’ hurried

approach, she instinctively took a step back, averting her gaze— guilt weighing heavily.

Only when Millie was gone could she and Leon secure their future without being burdened. Otherwise,

she would perpetually dangle over their relationship like a ticking time bomb.

Truth be told, she shouldn’t have rushed back before the explosion. Yet she had returned deliberately

to provoke the kidnappers, triggering the bomb’s detonation and Millie’s demise within the building.

Inside the room, a complex procedure unfolded amidst palpable tension; the scene was captured on

film as an instructive case.

Amidst the operation, a sudden jet of blood splattered on Leon’s face. A voice rang out, “The artery’s

been breached.”

“Maintain composure. Stay focused,” Leon directed with remarkable calm.

“Are there ample blood reserves?”

“Tl arrange it immediately.”

Despite intermittent setbacks during the eight-hour surgery, Leon’s poise remained unwavering, and he

executed the procedure with precision.

After an extended wait, the red light above door finally dimmed. Smiles and thumbs-up signals

permeated the room as the operation on Millie’s grandmother concluded triumphantly.

As the door swung open and Leon emerged, Lois hastened to his side, querying, “How did it go? Was it

successful?”
