Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 31
Meanwhile, Marcus was walking by a hospital room when the conversation inside made him pause.
“Millie, what are you doing here? I’m fine. You just got married. You should be spending more time with your husband and
building your relationship. I shouldn’t be the one on your mind all day long,” Millie’s grandma said.
Millie sat beside her grandmother’s bed, cradled her hand in hers and acted like a spoiled child.
“[ just miss you very much, grandma. I want to spend every day with you. You don’t have to worry about my marriage. The
Thomas family has a lot of business to attend to, and Marcus is so busy taking care of the company that he has no time to spend
with me at home.”
Millie’s tone was so childish and cute. She was forever going to remain a child in front of her grandma.
Millie had only informed her grandma that she was going to marry the young master of the Thomas family. She deliberately left
out the rumor about his disability.
Grandma stared hard at Millie, then suddenly flicked her forehead.
“I don’t care. You should stop coming to me so often. The Thomas family is a very wealthy and prestigious clan. They will
certainly not like the fact that you still need to take care of an old and sick woman like me.” After a pause, she added, “I need you
to be honest with me. Are they mistreating you? Look at you! You’ve gotten all pale.”
“No way!” Millie shook her head and plastered a surprised expression on her face.
“| eat four meals a day, all of them quite luxurious. Honestly, I’m almost getting tired of eating them. You don’t have to worry, my
face behind this mask has actually gotten fatter.”
Millie had to force those words out of her mouth, just so she wouldn’t worry her grandma. But her stomach churned in hatred as
she thought of the hateful Marcus that starved her and kept food out of her reach for the past two days.
Millie’s words didn’t seem to convince her grandmother very much. She wasn’t blind. She could see that her granddaughter had
become thinner.
Millie was clearly having a hard time in the Thomas family. Perhaps she wouldn’t be facing any problem if she didn’t have that
damned scar on her face that stole her beauty. The Thomas family obviously had a problem with it.

Marcus stood at the door, confused and amazed by what he was seeing. That was Millie’s grandmother.
He was more shocked by how sensible and well-behaved Millie was in front of her grandmother. Knowing how malicious she
was, no one could have ever imagined she had a side like this one.
Millie noticed that her grandmother had been staring at the doorway for some time now. “Grandma, what are you looking at?”
She followed her gaze, but met the doorway empty.
In the hallway of the hospital.
Marcus ran into Dr. Gerald who had just returned from a business trip. The doctor smiled warmly at Marcus.
“Mr. Thomas, what brings you here? Are you not feeling well, or is it a family member that is sick. I can take care of that person
myself.”
Marcus gave him a polite smile and asked instead, “What is wrong with the elderly lady in room 327?”
“The elderly lady in room 327?” Dr. Gerald repeated, just to be sure he actually heard right.
He was surprised by Marcus’ question, but he still asked, “Is she someone you know? Why don’t we go to my office and talk
about it?”
