Chapter 780

Her hands tightened into fists against her knees, caught between recognizing her grandmother’s

inherent goodness and accepting her own necessity for the truth.

Nonetheless, she couldn’t provoke her grandmother’s ire. She labored relentlessly to rescue her

grandmother, after all. ine, I’ll get in touch with the doctor,” Millie uttered.

Rising from her seat, she exited the room to search for the doctor.

Following the doctor’s examination of Millie’s grandma, she drifted into slumber.

Millie proceeded to gently tuck her grandmother in, switch off the light, and depart the room.

Nonetheless, Millie felt a sense of suspicion and determination to fathom the reason behind her lapse

in memory concerning the photograph.

“This is absurd. You seem to undervalue your own life. You’re the president of the Thomas Group and

Claudia’s favored grandson.” Millie overheard someone utter.

Halting in her tracks, Millie cast a glance towards the adjacent room, pondering if Marcus was present.

An eagerness to glean more information tethered her to that moment, her eyes affixed to the closed

door.

“I have another matter to attend to. If you’ll excuse me,” Marcus announced.

Suddenly, he strode out as the door swung open.

“Marcus,” the director hurriedly addressed him.

Millie noticed Marcus’ surprise upon spotting her. He wondered about the extent of her exposure to the

conversation. Judging from her perplexed expression, Marcus assumed she hadn’t comprehended

much.

With Millie by his side, Marcus introduced her to the director, his words a graceful unveiling of their

marital union.

“Allow me to present my wife, a figure you’ve yet to meet.”

treatment.

He realized Marcus’ urgency in revealing Millie’s identity stemmed from his desire to shield his wife

from his deteriorating health.

‘ve heard about her long before now. You two make a splendid couple,” the director remarked.

“mdeed, our bond is a strong one. But we must take our leave now,” Marcus mentioned, departing with

Millie.

As they exited, the director added, “Don’t overexert yourselves. Remember to take care of your well-

being.”

As they journeyed onward, Millie paused her steps, fixing her gaze on Marcus.

“Why this sudden halt?” queried Marcus, his curiosity piqued.

Millie’s gaze remained steadfast, her inquiry flowing forth. “Pray tell, what did the director imply when

he remarked upon your lack of concern for your own existence?”
