Now, knowing that the woman she dismissed as grotesque was instead radiant, she couldn’t shake the bitter loathing swelling within her.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She abhorred the very sensation of it.
“Rest assured, your uncle won't lay a scalpel on that crone. Both the pretender and the old one should meet their ends. To think they could live happily, it’s a delusion,”
Gianna voiced, her fists balling with determination.
With the new day barely broken, Millie found herself at the hospital.
Her grandmother, within the sterile confines of the ward, lay with her face pinched with discomfort as she attempted to sleep. “Who are you?” Teresa, in the midst of her breakfast, took in Millie’s entrance and faltered. She lowered her meal and rose. Millie, with a calming motion of her hand, beckoned Teresa to sit.
“Teresa, it’s me, Millie.”
Stunned, Teresa stammered out a question.
“Are you really Millie? Goodness, you're a beauty. | had heard...” Teresa halted, her face tuning into blush, but Millie intuitively understood.
She gifted Teresa with a smile and shared, “My scar is a thing of the past. I’m done hiding behind a mask. Please, continue your breakfast. I’ll check on my grandmother.”
“Of course, you’re Millie. | know your voice,” Teresa acknowledged after gathering her wits. Approaching her grandmother’s bedside, Millie gently adjusted the blanket.
“Your grandmother battled pain all night, unable to sleep. The doctor prescribed new medication this morning, and after taking it, she found some respite,” Teresa explained, offering Millie a chair.
“Please, have a seat.” Grandma’s sleepless night of torment struck Millie’s heart like a clenched fist. Her endurance of the grueling hours of darkness must have been torturous.
“Finish your meal and take some time for yourself. I'll keep vigil here with Grandma,” Millie encouraged, settling onto the chair and noticing the burdensome shadows beneath Teresa’s eyes.
As Millie’s hands found rest upon her knees, her gaze was locked onto her grandmother's features. Prior to leaving, Teresa offered a hushed caution.
“We need to schedule the surgery promptly, to alleviate her suffering.” “lll ensure the procedure is expedited,” Millie assured her, her head nodding in agreement.
Having spent a quiet spell by her grandmother's side, Millie took out her phone to arrange an afternoon meet-up with Gianna at a nearby café.
