Let me know if you require anything.”
Exiting the room, he positioned himself in the spacious corridor, his countenance
stern as he gazed downward at the well-lit lower level.
Nervous servants scurried past, and Bria seized the moment to approach.
“Mr. Thomas, she hasn't returned yet. You should exercise caution. Although she
mentioned staying at the hospital, her presence there at night is uncertain,” Bria
advised.
Marcus’ glare turned icy as he rebuked, “Your place is not to speak here. Depart.”
Bria swiftly lowered her head, explaining, “I did it to safeguard your reputation. I
was concerned she might make an error that could tarnish your image. I'll leave
immediately.”
Entering the bedroom, Marcus settled onto a sofa in the dimness. He extracted
his phone, pinching it in contemplation.
Recalling the recent dinner between Millie and Patrick, Marcus dialed Millie’s
number.
Millie sat by her grandmother's bedside. Although awake, her grandmother
remained frail and feeble. Having spent a day at the hospital, Millie had refrained
from bringing up the topic of the photo.
In a cold tone, Marcus queried, “What time is it? Why haven't you returned?” In a
tone devoid of warmth, Marcus uttered.
Startled, Millie grabbed her phone and exited the ward.
“I'm staying at the hospital to care for my grandmother. I won't be home for the
next few days,” Millie conveyed.
Ina frigid tone, Marcus retorted, “Someone is looking after her at the hospital. Do
I need to remind you again that members of the Thomas family can’t be out all
night?”
Wasn't he aware of her clash with Celeste over the issue of malaria, which had
led her not to return home recently?
“Due to an infectious disease in the hospital, I'm concerned about getting
infected and potentially spreading it to all of you,” Millie explained.
However, Marcus simply instructed her to come back home.
After ending the call, Millie roused Teresa from her sleep and informed her about
her departure.
