Grandma announced.
Subsequently, she secured the album and the photo within the box, then lay back
on her hospital bed, shutting her eyes and effectively shutting down further
conversation.
“Grandma?” Millie called out once more, but her words went unanswered.
Perplexed by her grandmother's actions, Millie knew her well enough to
understand that if she chose not to discuss something, she wouldn't. She turned
her attention to the rigid Lois.
“Let's go.”
As Lois stood up, her steps seemed to falter and weaken. So the person Leon
had been searching for was Millie all along? What an incredible coincidence!
It felt as though the world was about to crumble around her.
Upon reaching the hospital's entrance, Lois seized Millie's arm.
“Millie, why did you seem so surprised when you saw that photo just now? The
person in the picture was you, wasn't it?” Millie's own astonishment had struck
Lois as well, and this perplexed her deeply.
Shaking her head, Millie answered, “I have no recollection of the moment that
photo was taken, but it's undeniably me. By the way, why did you also react so
strongly upon seeing the picture?”
It was indeed perplexing. Millie couldn't comprehend why Lois had such a strong
reaction to an old photo of hers.
Rather than giving a direct response, Lois inquired, “So you're saying you have
no memory related to this photo?”
“T really don't,” Millie replied, shaking her head once more. Yet she had a feeling
that Lois held some knowledge about the secrets hidden behind that photograph.
“I just remembered I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I must take my leave
now. We can chat again another time,” Lois hastily declared before departing.
Millie was about to ask what Lois knew, but she never had the chance to utter the
words.
Shaking her head, Millie attempted to make sense of it all. What was truly
transpiring here?
