Chapter 349
Chapter: 349 “Did Leon send the medicine to your grandma? Who told you that?” Marcus emphasized “Leon”, the words soaked in skepticism.
Millie revealed the source of her knowledge. “The doctor attending to my grandmother informedthat Mr. Thomas sent the medicine. It's a specialized medication developed by a foreign agency. Considering the surname, he must be Leon. He used to practice medicine, so he must be aware of its effectiveness for my grandma.”
She then expressed with gratitude and a touch of emotion, “It’s surprising that he would extend his help discreetly. He’s always been distant and reserved. Despite not knowing the reason behind his silence, I’ll cherish and remember his act of kindness.”

Observing Marcus’ morose expression, Millie asked, “Did | err? You appear disconcerted.” Marcus chose silence over explanation. Let her believe what she wanted.
“On another note, | plan to stay at the hospital. My grandmother needs me,” Millie said. Her growing anxiety for her grandmother had strengthened her resolve to stay by her bedside.
“No, as part of the Thomas family, you abide by its traditions, which include returning heach day,” Marcus retorted. The hospital environment teemed with viruses, and the mere idea of Millie staying there indefinitely filled Marcus with concern. “You are incredibly heartless!” Millie exclaimed, her emotions pouring forth with a mix of disappointment and frustration.
In truth, whenever Millie visited the hospital, her grandmother would insist on her swift departure, urging her not to worry if she was awake. After her marriage, Grandma consistently emphasized the importance of prioritizing family above all else.
Her grandmother’s selflessness reaffirmed her belief that she was blessed with the best grandma in the world.
“Speaking of which, when will your friend return?”
“Soon,” she replied.

The workday wound down, and as Millie was about to hail a cab, an unfamiliar, rotund woman approached her.
“Miss, could you please guideon how to reach this place? I’ve cto the city to visit my relative, and it's my first there, so I’m having trouble finding my way.”
The person asked Millie for assistance with a hint of uncertainty.
The woman presented Millie with a piece of paper, indicating an address: Dury’s Alley.
Familiarity washed over Millie; she knew the location well. It was an old, isolated alley a considerable distance away.
“I'm acquainted with the area. You just head straight for about 200 meters, then make a right at the intersection, and keep going...”
The woman interrupted Millie, saying, “Could you perhaps accompany me? I’m not as young as | used to be, and | have difficulty remembering directions. | fear | might lose my way in such a vast city. If that happens, | honestly don’t know what my next step would be.” She had an embarrassed smile on her face.
