Chapter 1379
Coincidentally, as she opened the door, she encountered a team of physicians who were concluding their rounds and preparing to perform Marcus’s morning check-up.
Upon spotting Millie, they greeted her with enthusiasm.
“You’re finally awake. May we proceed with Mr. Thomas’s morning examination now?”
Millie hesitated momentarily, then replied, “Yes, yes, of course.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She stepped aside and allowed the doctors to enter the room.
From their earlier conversation, it appeared that the doctors had indeed been there before. This was baffling.
Millie discreetly approached the youngest doctor and whispered, “Can you step out with me for a moment?”
The two of them moved to the side. The young doctor, eager to attend to his patient, spoke first, “Mrs. Thomas, just feel free to ask your question.”

Millie hesitated and then awkwardly inquired, “I apologize for inconveniencing you, but did you already visit the room earlier?”
The doctor immediately smiled, recognizing Millie’s embarrassment.
“We arrived approximately forty minutes ago. However, you were still sleeping at that time, and Mr. Thomas didn’t want to disturb your rest. Therefore, he instructed us to inspect the other rooms first,” the doctor clarified.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to the ward now.”
“No, it’s fine, it’s fine. Please go ahead and attend to your duties,”
Millie responded.
She then re-entered the ward, feeling rather sheepish. She made her way to the bathroom, eavesdropping on the doctors discussing the medical situation while collecting water in a basin.
However, Marcus wasn’t about to let her off the hook.
“Mrs. Thomas, Mr. Thomas requests your presence outside to listen and comprehend the instructions so you can take care of him,” the doctor conveyed.
“Alright,” Millie acknowledged, feeling somewhat exasperated. She wiped her hands and reluctantly exited.
Millie knew that Marcus was enjoying her embarrassment.
As she emerged with her head bowed, Marcus looked at her and remarked, “The doctor is about to provide some guidance. Fetch a notebook and jot down the details.”
