Chapter 268

Millie quickly stood and said, “Grandma, Ill go speak with Leon. There was a medical question I’ve been meaning to ask him.” “Go ahead, dear.” Claudia nodded once more.

Before long, Millie was at the door, looking alive and ready.

“Good news! Grandma said yes. You can stand up now.”

Leon perked up at this, his body instantly rigid. The sight of Millie, with her lovely face and almond-shaped eyes, was always a delight.

The ease with which grandma gave her blessing was a pleasant surprise. It was a clear sign of how much she liked Millie.

Leon had been on his knees for what felt like hours. He slowly stood up, letting his senses return. His black trousers bore the mark of dust, but it did little to hide his simmering anger.

Seeing Leon get up and walk towards the car made Millie’s joy fade in an instant. Wait, what?

Did he forget something? He had just agreed to perform surgery for her grandmother, but he didn’t mention anything about it now.

Catching up to him, Millie quickly said, “Hold on a minute. You agreed to operate on my grandma. But it seems like you're ina hurry to do something else. Why don’t you handle your business first, then we can talk about the surgery. Does that sound good?”

Leon had reached his car by then and halted. He turned his impassive face towards her, his voice frosty. “Did you seriously believe all that? It was a lie.”

Millie felt a wave of confusion wash over her. She must have misunderstood.

“Are you joking?”

Leon responded with a mocking grin, “I was just pulling your leg. So are you naive or just plain foolish?”

“What are you saying? You're trying to swindle me?” Millie’s mix of anger and anxiety cto the surface. She reached out and grabbed Leon’s arm, stopping him in his tracks.

She tightened her grasp on his arm, trying to channel her fury into her grip, but Leon’s arm was unyielding, reacting as though she was a cat swiping at him.

“| never thought I'd see you acting this way. Just randomly grabbing at a man. | think grandma would be sorely disappointed if she saw this.”

“You're so cruel. You deceived me,” Millie retorted, glancing back and slowly releasing her grip. “Thanks for putting in a good word forwith grandma. I’ll be on my way now,”

Leon responded, his gaze cold and distant, his eyes heavy with melancholy. He stepped into his car and shut the door behind him.

The car roared away, leaving Millie in its wake. She slapped her own face in frustration. She couldn’t believe she’d been duped.
