Chapter 605
Substitute Marriage: Falling For My Ugly Wife
âReturn and take a shower,â Marcus insisted.
âNo need; I can clean up here.â
Millie continued to decline. No matter what, she was determined to stay at the hospital with her
grandmother.
Marcus found himself momentarily speechless. Millieâs reluctance to leave left him feeling powerless.
Millie stood and proceeded to the restroom to wash her hands and face.
Observing Millieâs departing figure, Marcus felt a tightness in his chest. Although he acknowledged his
misunderstanding of her, her demeanor remained composed.
Just as Millie emerged from freshening up, Marcus was on a call in the corridor. A passing nurse
noticed a document on a chair, picked it up, and entered the nearest ward.
âIs this yours? Keep it safe. Donât lose it.â
âThe nurse said this upon entering the room and handing the document to Millie.
Marcus concluded his call and returned, only to find Millie receiving the document and about to open
the divorce agreement inside. His brow knitted in frustration as he moved to intervene.
Marcus entered the room in a hurry, but his arrival was still a tad late.
The document bore the emblem of the Thomas Group, unmistakably belonging to Marcus. As Millie
opened it, her eyes widened in astonishment. It was a divorce agreement! The manâs name was
Marcus.
And the womanâs name was Millie.
Taken aback, Millieâs shock prompted the nurse to inquire, âIs everything alright?â
Millie took a calming breath, never expecting it to be a divorce agreement.
âItâs fine. Thank you!â
Millie contained her emotions and shook her head.
Approaching with an anxious expression, Marcus cursed Derek for his carelessness.
How could he leave it around like that?
âYouâre welcome,â the nurse responded, looking puzzled at the two before departing.
Marcus clenched his fists and cleared his throat.
âItâs a mistake.â
On the other hand, Millie extended her hands toward Marcus.
