Chapter: 470
Millie lowered her hand that was rubbing her neck. She was thinking about her grandmother's illness. She was about to respond to Marcus when she heard the clacking of high-heeled shoes.
When she turned to the window, she saw Lois walking back into the house alone.

She waited for a few minutes, but she never saw Leon cback.
“I need to take care of something,” Millie muttered before getting up and leaving the room.
Marcus’ eyes narrowed into a cold expression. He closed the book with a snap and looked in the direction Millie had gone. He knew she left to look for Leon.
In the backyard, Leon had a blank look on his face as he held the cigarette between his slender fingers. He brought it to his lips and inhaled deeply.
He perked up when he caught sight of Millie approaching and shot her an irritated look. “What do you want?” Millie’s dry lips quivered as she contemplated what to say.
“Leon, thank you for going out of your way to get my grandmother the exact medication she needs. Even though you have a bad temper, you actually have a good heart. It must have cost a lot to get that medicine. Letpay you back.”
She did not like taking advantage of other people, and based on the medicine’s rarity and effectiveness, it was definitely expensive.

“I'm talking about the medicine you bought for my grandmother from another country. She no longer suffers from headaches after taking it. I'm really grateful to you. The doctor said that the medicine is extremely rare and hard to obtain, so thank you,” Millie said.
“| did that?” Leon asked.
“Yes. You don’t have to hide it fromanymore. | know it’s you. The doctor said that Mr. Thomas bought the medicine. Also, you were a doctor before, right? You obviously keep up with the latest medical developments. You knew the drug would help my grandmother. Anyway, | won't forget about this, and | will repay you someday.”
Millie’s words cfrom the bottom of her heart, but Leon pulled cruelly at the comer of his mouth. “| guess | should thank you for assuming | was the one who bought the medicine.
I'm sorry to break it to you, though, but it wasn’t me. | couldn’t care less about your grandmother, so why would | buy her medicine?”
His series of questions caught Millie off guard.
