Millie remained oblivious to her supposed transgression. Why would she eat with
another man instead of her grandmother?
As a man, Marcus could read the intensity of Patrick's affection for Millie through
his gaze. As a married woman, Millie remained oblivious to these signals and
simply went out with him.
Upon arriving home, Millie opened the refrigerator only to find it empty.
Following the Thomas family tradition, any leftover food was discarded to ensure
fresh meals each time.
Faced with the prospect of preparing her own food, Millie felt a pang of
weariness.
She resolved to bear her hunger for the night.
Upstairs, after freshening up, she voluntarily reclined on the sofa and draped
herself with a quilt. Her eyes fixed on the resplendent chandelier overhead.
Slowly, she drifted into illusion.
In her mind's eye, her grandmother's image slowly faded away.
Throughout the night, Marcus maintained his chilly demeanor, withholding his
attention. But Millie found herself unwilling to explain or engage in an argument.
On the balcony, Marcus chain-smoked, his thoughts enshrouded in smoke.
Suddenly, a pained voice echoed from behind him.
“Grandma, please don’t go. Don’t leave me all alone.”
Another nightmare, it seemed.
Marcus discarded his cigarette and entered the room. Millie was perspiring
heavily, her forehead glistening. She seemed to be in immense distress, her eyes
shut as if contending with agony.
Marcus reached out, intending to reposition Millie's hand atop the quilt. Upon
contact, he realized her hand was chilled to the bone.
