Chapter: 339
“You're heading to the hospital?” Marcus questioned, noting the encroaching
twilight.
Millie affirmed with a nod, “Yes, my grandmother had a sleepless night plagued
by pain. I must see to her.”
Marcus offered no further commentary but dutifully deposited Millie at the hospital
before proceeding towards his own destination: the company.
Inside the hospital, Millie found her place beside her grandmother's bed, her
heart twisting painfully. The old woman slept, her forehead hot to the touch,
signaling her discomfort.
Holding her grandmother’s aged, weathered hand in her soft grasp, Millie
observed the marks of time imprinted on the palm, along with the disconcerting
swell of puncture wounds from countless injections.
The sight tore at Millie’s heart, filling her with an almost unbearable desire to bear
those needle pricks in her grandmother's stead. Holding back her tears, she
whispered a plea. “Grandma, don’t leave me. You must recover soon. I will find a
way to heal you. Just like you always emboldened me to stand strong in my
younger days, you too must gather your strength.”
With that, her vision blurred with unshed tears. The sound of approaching
footsteps heralded Teresa's arrival. Hastily, Millie swiped at her moist eyes,
tucking her grandmother's hand back beneath the warm blanket.
“Miss Brown, I just spotted your grandmother's primary physician still present in
the hospital. You might want to consult him about her condition,” Teresa
suggested.
“Okay, I'll head there immediately,” Millie acknowledged, quickly setting off to
locate the doctor.
“Doctor, didn’t the last prescribed medication manage to ease my grandmother's
pain? Why is she suffering again?”
Millie's voice was laced with anxiety as she posed her query in the confines of
the doctor's office.
“Well, the fact of the matter is, the prescribed medication supply has been
exhausted, and the patient ceased taking it yesterday,” the doctor elucidated.
“The medication supply is depleted. Does that imply the hospital no longer stocks
it? If so, please procure it posthaste,” Millie blurted with evident distress.
Regretfully shaking his head, the doctor explained, “This particular drug is a
novelty, a creation of a foreign pharmaceutical research center. Its production is
extremely limited, making domestic acquisition impossible. The previous supply
was provided specifically for your grandmother's treatment by Mr. Thomas.”
The mention of Mr. Thomas left Millie visibly taken aback. “Mr. Thomas arranged
for it?”
Which Mr. Thomas was being referred to? The doctor had never previously
alluded to this narrative regarding the medication. She had been under the
impression that the hospital imported it directly from overseas.

Just as he concluded his reassurances, the phone in his office trilled.
“Excuse me, I must attend to this call.”
