“Just letmake a cup of tea for Mr. Thomas, Millie. | can’t do much else at the moment. If | were at home, | would have cooked you both a hearty meal.”
Millie was moved by this. “That’s alright. When you’re better, we can cook together and make a feast.” “You don’t need to go to any trouble. It’s my pleasure to visit you,” Marcus chimed in.
At his words, Grandma eased back onto her bed.
As Millie moved to pour water into the teacups, she glanced back at Marcus and gestured with a pout. “Take a seat. Don’t just stand there, or Grandma will start feeling guilty again,” she remarked.
With a slight frown, Marcus complied and sat down on a chair.
All the while, Grandma had been scrutinizing Marcus intently. She was fond of his apparent integrity. She had always feared Millie falling for a deceitful man, but Marcus had made a good impression on her.
“Mr. Thomas, although Millie lost her mother at an early age, she is hardworking and has a heart of gold. She’s always been sensible, always willing to bear hardships without complaint, and has never causedworry. She’s also diligent in her studies.

He probably wouldn’t care about these things. Grandma must be hoping that by sharing these stories, Marcus would see what a good girl Millie was and cherish her.
But it was pointless. He had already labeled her as cruel. Just as Millie was about to change the awkward subject, she saw Marcus sitting upright, hands resting on his knees. He nodded gravely and replied in a deep voice, “Grandma, I’m all ears. Please continue.” ©
“Millie is a thoughtful soul, though her resolve can be trying. After spending enough twith her, you'll understand. She carries no ill-will and genuinely cares about others.”
Grandma expressed this with a twinkle in her eyes. Though she characterized Millie as obstinate, the radiating joy on her face indicated her fondness for her granddaughter.
Marcus, taking note of the old woman's heartfelt smile, shifted his gaze towards Millie. Their eyes met, causing an unanticipated flutter in Millie’s chest.
“She's concerned about others?”
He drew out his words for effect.
