Chapter 555

“She’s been making soup for her grandmother every day.”

“Get to the point.”

“Don’t underestimate her soup. Celeste really enjoys it.”

“It’s just soup. Is it truly that impressive? Celeste has experienced many delectable dishes. Why would

this soup captivate her so much?”

“Well, the aroma of the soup is incredibly enticing. I’m not sure what she includes in it. As she cooks,

the fragrance permeates the entire villa.”

“That cunning girl, she’s quite skilled at ingratiating herself.”

Around midday, Millie had completed preparing the day’s soup. As she was getting ready to take it to

the hospital, her phone rang, and it was Teresa on the other end.

Teresa’s voice sounded urgent as she asked Millie not to visit the hospital that day.

Teresa informed Millie that several patients with malaria had been admitted to the hospital that day, and

she was concerned about the risk of infection. Despite the warning, Millie remained determined to go.

Eventually, her grandmother took the phone and personally requested that Millie refrain from visiting

that day, mentioning that she wasn’t in the mood for the soup.

However, Millie had a suspicion that her grandmother’s reluctance to see her that day was connected

to the photo. She sensed that her grandmother might be avoiding a conversation about the picture.

Despite her suspicions, Millie complied with her grandmother’s request and agreed not to visit the

hospital that day.

The following day, upon awakening, Millie received an anxious phone call from Teresa. She informed

Millie that her grandmother’s condition had deteriorated, with a high fever and loss of consciousness.

Uneasy and concerned, Millie quickly descended the stairs and headed to the hospital.

While passing through the living room, Celeste, engrossed in reading a newspaper, halted Millie’s

progress.

“Abstain from visiting the hospital today. The newspaper reported three patients with malignant malaria

from abroad in your grandmother’s hospital. The infection risk is high,” Celeste conveyed.

Millie paused, then responded, “I will take necessary precautions.”

Bria, who was busy tidying a room, interjected, “It’s contagious. A neighbor of mine contracted it and

spread it to their entire family. Please reconsider your hospital visit today.”

The news jolted Millie’s heart, and as anticipated, Celeste’s expression turned dark upon hearing Bria’s

words.

“I believe the hospital will implement measures to prevent such an outbreak.

Furthermore, Grandma is in the oncology department, isolated from the Infection Division. Rest

assured, I’ll take care of myself,” Millie reassured.

“Regardless, the possibility of infection remains. Mrs. Thomas, I implore you not to go.”

Celeste declared emphatically, “No one should go to the hospital in these circumstances.”
