SWNOVELS Chapter 8
Chapter: 8
“Don’t worry. My heart will always belong to you, Millie. By the way, do you really
plan to keep wearing the mask even when you're at the Thomas family’s house?
You have a gorgeous face, but you hide it behind a mask, making everyone think
that you're ugly. It's a real pity,” Grace commented. ©
“I'll keep wearing the mask. I didn’t choose this marriage; it was thrust upon me. I
want Marcus to be disgusted with me, so he has to continue believing that I'm
really ugly. Then, once he has enough, he'll divorce me, and I'll be free again. In
the meantime, I have to track down Leon and persuade him to operate on my
grandmother. I'll only consider this endeavour a success if I manage to convince
him.”
Millie only agreed to marry Marcus because Gianna and Mia had threatened her
regarding her grandmother's condition. Her grandmother was currently suffering
from a massive brain tumour that required delicate surgery to remove.
There were only two surgeons she knew who were capable of performing this
procedure. The first was Joel Roberts, Mia's uncle, and the second was Leon
Thomas, Marcus’s cousin.
Leon was a mysterious person who was much spoken of but rarely seen in
public.
Before she found him, Millie was set on having her grandmother operated on by
Joel. It was because of it that she let Mia have complete authority over her.
Unfortunately, Joel would not agree to operate on her grandmother unless she
married Marcus as a stand-in for Mia.
Mia, being the proud woman that she was, refused to marry Marcus because he
was known to be a useless cripple.
She did not wish to wed Marcus, but Gianna had her eyes set on a piece of land
given by the Thomas family as a gift for the union, so the two women concocted
a plan in which Millie would marry Marcus instead.
After she and Grace finished their conversation, Millie realized she was thirsty.
She looked around the room for water, but there was not a single drop of water
inside the pitcher that she found.
She had no choice but to go downstairs.
When Millie got to the first floor, she stopped a passing servant. The house was
big, and she did not know where the kitchen was, so she had to ask for
directions.
“I'm thirsty. Can you tell me where the kitchen is?” Millie asked.
The servant stared intently at Millie's face, trying to see the hideous scar beneath
her mask. Only when Millie frowned did she realize she was being rude.
“Of course, madam. Please follow me,” the servant replied.

Millie cast a backward glance as they
walked toward the kitchen. The
servant had been staring oddly at a
certain room earlier. It made her think
that something was hidden inside it.

After dismissing the servant, she
poured herself a glass of water and
drank it. She then walked out of the
kitchen and toward the direction the
servant had been staring at earlier.

The door to the room was slightly ajar.
