“Have you not slept yet?” Millie inquired, puzzled by his choice to remain in
darkness despite not being asleep.
Marcus observed Millie from head to toe, unsettling her. He then clenched his
fists, causing her to furrow her brow in apprehension, wondering if he was about
to engage in an argument.
It seemed that Bria had already informed Marcus about Millie's conflict with
Celeste earlier in the day. If this were indeed the case, it wouldn't bode well for
Millie.
“Millie, how dare you argue with my mother?” Marcus accused her sharply.
Despite his harsh words, Millie tried to calmly explain.
“I'm sorry about what happened today. Unfortunately, my grandmother's
condition is worsening, and I need to be at the hospital. I hope you can
understand my situation.”
Millie remained composed. Despite apologizing, she wasn't willing to concede, as
she believed herself to be innocent.
Marcus’ lips twitched, and he stood up, approaching her.
“You haven't done anything wrong. Your actions were justified. The woman in the
hospital is your grandmother, and it’s your duty to protect her. However, my
mother is older than you. Why had you intentionally upset her?” Marcus inquired.
Confused, Millie asked, “What's the matter?”
Marcus went to the balcony with a faint smile. Since Millie couldn't find an
answer, she decided to head to the bathroom. When she emerged, she noticed
that the bedroom light had been turned off. She then lay down on the sofa in the
darkness.
Once Millie had fallen into slumber, Marcus reentered the room from the balcony
and silently made his way to the sofa.
In her slumber, she felt someone's touch on her face. Large hands gently grazed
her skin, and she instinctively raised her own hand, brushing against the warm
touch.
Despite her uncertainty, holding onto that warmth brought her solace.
Life continued in quiet fashion. Millie maintained her routine of buying groceries,
cooking soup, and accompanying her recovering grandmother at the hospital.
With her attentive care, her grandmother's health gradually improved.
However, her relationship with Marcus grew distant.

Moreover, their conversations had dwindled even when they did cross paths.
Millie recalled that their relationship seemed to have shifted since the day she
accidentally broke the vase.
She speculated that Marcus might hold some resentment against her for
damaging an item with sentimental value from his great-grandfather.
