“Let’s pay our respects to Nancy, then hurry back to the company and share this incredible news with everyone.”
With the necessary arrangements taken care of, Millie exited the hospital with her grandmother.
Just beyond the hospital’s entrance, her grandmother abruptly recalled a forgotten item. “Oh no, I left the photo album under the pillow. I forgot to take it.”

She set down the luggage and made her way back towards the hospital.
Meanwhile, a car pulled up alongside her grandmother.
Bruce stepped out of the car, examining the elderly woman before him.

He had spotted Millie and her grandmother leaving the hospital as he drove by.

Approaching with a polite demeanor, Bruce inquired, “Excuse me, are you my cousin-in-Law’s grandmother? I saw her going into the hospital earlier.”
The old lady assessed the young man standing before her. “Your cousin -in-Law?”
“I mean Millie. My cousin is Marcus. Where are you two headed?”
A pause followed.
When Millie returned with the photo album, she found her grandmother already seated in the car with Bruce.

Millie’s brow furrowed in confusion. Why was her grandmother in Bruce’s car?
Bruce, leaning against the car door, pursed his lips and gestured for Millie to join them.
“Millie, get in the car. I’ll drive you back to the village.”
Apparently, her grandmother had acquainted herself with Bruce during Millie’s brief absence.
Bruce had a way with words, and charming someone as trusting as her grandmother would be easy.
Millie’s thoughts turned to Marcus’ earlier warning to keep her distance from Bruce. He had asked her to refrain from hurting others, but also guard against those attempting to do her harm.
Bruce had never wronged her, but according to Marcus, there must be a rift between them. Millie couldn’t shake the feeling that someone might be targeting her to get at Marcus.
