Outside the hospital gates, Millie was roused from her slumber, her senses
plagued by dizziness.
“Here we are.”
With a swift exit from the vehicle, Millie unexpectedly collided with Leon and Lois,
emerging from the hospital. In Leon's hand dangled a small bag of medication,
suggesting their visit aimed to tend to Lois’ wrist injury.
The trio exchanged bewildered glances upon their encounter.
Donned in a meticulously ironed dark overcoat, Leon exuded an air of sleek
sophistication. Lois, likewise, showcased elegance in her formal dress,
culminating in a harmonious pairing.
Conversely, Millie found herself in a state of disarray, her wet clothes clinging
uncomfortably to her form.
As Leon's ebony eyes fell upon the drenched Millie, a perceptible narrowing
occurred.
“Millie, why are your clothes wet?" Lois instinctively grasped Leon's arm.
Millie smoothed her messy hair and clothes, a smile on her face as she
explained, “I got caught in the rain. It's alright; they'll dry.”
“You can use this to clean up.” Handing over a fragrant handkerchief, Lois
expressed her thoughtfulness.
“Thank you.”
Accepting the handkerchief, Millie began wiping her face, inadvertently revealing
strands of hair adhered to her forehead. Tearing them away elicited a wince. A
self-conscious smile graced her lips; embarrassment was her companion.
“Is everything alright with your grandmother? What brings you to the hospital at
this hour?”
Millie shifted her gaze towards the inquiring Leon, only to avert it as his eyes met
hers.
“Yes, my grandmother's condition worsened, prompting my rushed arrival.”
“Stay optimistic; everything will improve.”
A gracious smile punctuated Millie's words. “Thank you for your kind words. I
should head inside now.”
