Chapter 138
“Leon, I'll wait for you outside,” she blurted out.
As Millie rushed out of the men’s restroom, she was met with the astonished gaze of the man who had just exited the stall, leaving her feeling mortified.
She felt her face burning with embarrassment, desperately wishing she could disappear from the scene.
The moment Leon emerged from the restroom, he noticed Millie standing there, her hand covering her flushed face, unwilling to move an inch. He couldn't help but think she was a stubborn woman.
“You're the most shameless woman I’ve ever encountered,” Leon coldly remarked.
Despite his icy tone, Millie slowly removed her hand. Though she was still blushing, she brazenly replied, “Shameless? You can’t possibly say that about me! You're exaggerating.”
With those words, Millie retrieved a few papers from her bag and handed them over to Leon. They were her grandmother's medical records.
“Leon, please take a look at these,” she implored. “Whose medical records are these?” Leon glanced briefly at the contents but didn’t take them.
“These are my grandmother's. She has a brain tumor, and without surgery, her time is limited. The attending physician informed me that the tumor is complex, and any mistake could be fatal. You're the only one with experience in such a surgery. | implore you to operate on her,” Millie pleaded earnestly. Her sincerity, however, was met with a cold snort.
“| have no interest in looking at these records,” Leon replied dismissively. “Tam willing to pay any amount. | know you have the skill to perform the surgery,” Millie countered with determination.
“In light of your sincere request, | must inform you that | am capable of performing the surgery. However, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Unfortunately, you have nothing to offer me in return,” Leon stated coldly.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Millie furrowed her brows, trying to comprehend the meaning behind his words.
“lam willing to cover all the surgical expenses. Whatever amount you require, | can provide,” she said.
However, with each word she spoke, she noticed Leon’s expression growing more mocking, causing her voice to falter. The truth was money was the last thing Leon lacked.
Asudden loud noise resonated from one of the rooms. Although not particularly deafening, it startled Millie, sending a shiver down her spine.
“What was that sound?” she asked, her voice filled with concern.
Millie had a hunch that it was a gunshot. But due to the excellent soundproofing in the room, the sound wasn’t too clear. She looked around cautiously, her senses on high alert.
Leon's sharp eyes narrowed slightly. He swiftly tumed around and strode towards a nearby door, swiftly opening it and stepping inside.
Without hesitation, Millie followed closely behind, only to find the door already closed and locked by Leon from the inside. She tugged at the doorknob, but it refused to budge, leaving her trapped outside.
