No sooner had she returned and pulled out her sketch than a knock sounded at
the door. Millie’s heart leaped as she jumped to her feet, her mind rushing to the
thought that it might be Marcus, which filled her with excitement.
When she opened the door, however, she found Leon there, one hand casually
resting in his pocket.
Leon could see the shock in her eyes.
“Do you hate seeing me that much?” he inquired, his voice tinged with curiosity.
He had just left Fiona’s room, telling her he had something to attend to. Yet, as
he walked toward the stairs, he found himself looking back at Millie's door. The
faint light visible through the narrow gap in the frame drew him, and he found
himself knocking.
The memory of Millie's angry expression that momning lingered in his mind.
Millie displayed indifference, her memory of Leon pinching her chin earlier in the
day still fresh.
“What's the matter?”
Leon's expression darkened. He had received news of Marcus’ injury and found
the room empty. It seemed Marcus had gone elsewhere to recover.
“Let's step inside and talk. Remember, I once operated on your grandmother.”
He found it odd that Millie hadn't tended to the injured Marcus. Weren't their
feelings quite strong?
Mentioning her grandmother lessened Millie's animosity towards Leon, prompting
her to step aside and allow him to enter.
“You're alone at home. Why didn't you accompany your husband?”
Leon scanned the neat and orderly room before looking back at Millie.
Millie pursed her lips.
“He's away on a business trip. Why should I go with him?”
