Chapter 776

“Millie, who might this gentleman be?”

“Grandma, he’s the surgeon who operated on you. He’s Leon Thomas, the eldest heir of the Thomas

family.”

Grandma’s gaze rested on Leon, a surge of sentiment sweeping over her. This marked her first

encounter with the surgeon who’d intervened in her life since her awakening.

This man bore an uncanny resemblance to someone from her past. Could he be the individual who

shared a close rapport with Millie?

“Grandma?”

Observing her grandmother’s reverie, Millie exchanged a quizzical glance with Leon.

Intrigued by her grandmother’s absent-mindedness upon seeing Leon, Millie pondered the reason.

The old woman refocused, her countenance warming with a smile.

“Dr. Thomas, I extend my gratitude for preserving my life.”

Contemplating this familiar face, Grandma’s memories unfurled, triggering a cascade of emotions

within her.

Leon’s attention shifted to Millie as he inquired, “How is her wound? Is there any sign of infection?”

A festering wound would invite the risk of infection, a concern he took seriously.

“No cause for concern.”

“Dr. Thomas, your skill is truly remarkable. I was informed no other physician dared undertake this

procedure, yet you accomplished it flawlessly. Words fail me in expressing my gratitude.”

Grandma’s earnest praise stirred a pang of guilt within Leon as he acknowledged that his agreement to

perform the surgery had been contingent on a deal with Millie.

Noticing Millie’s anxious glance, he recognized her fear of his revealing the truth.

“Your kind words are unnecessary. Millie is my cousin-in-law, and it was my duty to conduct the

surgery.”

“Thank you, doctor. Were you raised within the Thomas family?”

Grandma’s curiosity about Leon’s upbringing surfaced, spurred by their striking resemblance. She

mused at how he, seemingly of humble origins, could be affiliated with such a distinguished lineage.

Millie detected an oddity in her grandmother’s behavior. Her curiosity seemed unusually piqued by

Leon.

“No, I was lost at the tender age of three, only reuniting with the Thomas family at sixteen.”

It occurred to Grandma that he might be the very person she had in mind, and now she was eager to

ascertain his name.
