Ultimately, after a protracted interval, the doctor successfully extracted the
offending fish bone lodged within Celeste’s throat, the fragment now resting on a
sterile tray.
“Why would such a sizable fish bone be left unattended? Neglecting such a
hazard could imperil a person's life.”
After a pause, Celeste’s glare bore into Millie.
“Eject her from here. Let her kneel at the gate, and she mustn't rise without my
consent. Marcus, should you intervene on her behalf this time, you shall forfeit
any claim to being my son.”
Her teeth pressed into her lower lip, Millie voiced her defense. “Even though I

As she lowered her hands, Marcus’ silhouette materialized. Accompanied by a
servant wielding an umbrella, he stood on the threshold, sheltered from the
downpour.
He looked like an emperor enshrined in nobility, and she, an impoverished
wanderer.
Millie's gaze fixated on Marcus. It marked the second instance where Celeste
had cast her into the rain. The previous occurrence unfolded when Celeste
