Substitute Marriage: Falling For My Ugly Wife Book - Chapter: 1488

The thought of her grandmother being thrown into the river shoved every Last bit of appetite in her down the drain.

The nurse knew well that the nutritious fluid couldn’t fully replace food.

She was about to refuse, but on seeing the depressed look in Millie’s eyes, she couldn’t help but agree.

“Fine. I’ll get it.”

The nurse got the fluid and began to ask Millie questions as she put her on the drip.

“No one has come to see you. Didn’t you inform any of your family members about this? They should be taking care of you. They’d be so happy to find out about your pregnancy.”

Without thinking, she picked up her phone and searched for MNarcus’ phone number. She had given him a call earlier in the morning before she went out.

Till that time, he hadn’t returned her call. Millie could think of only one reason for that because he was never like that.

It could only be that he had been told about what had happened with Victor.

She was certain that those people had thrown accusations her way. Besides, it was just her, Victor, and Brett present on the third floor at the time of the incident. And she knew well that nobody would doubt Brett’s intentions.

ALL fingers were pointed towards her.

Nevertheless, she felt that no one deserved an explanation from her. With fierceness in her eyes, she felt that stabbing Victor to death would have been a great way for her to relieve all of her stress.

Millie didn’t give the nurse an answer, who decided to mind her business.

Not long after that, Marcus’ call sent Millie’s phone ringing.

Letting out a deep sigh, she answered the call and didn’t say a single word.

Just then, Shera’s voice came from the other end of the call.

“The truth is clear, Marcus! Millie killed your grandfather! That bitch is so dumb that she left the knife on his back as proof of her evil nature. Her fingerprints are all over the knife. You have to see through her charade! She had it planned all along. She brought the knife to kill him before the appointment. She did it because he didn’t approve of her being with you. Victor: had enough of her nonsense so he kindly asked for her to meet him so he could persuade her once again, but that crazy bitch killed him! Send your men to drag her here and end her life. Avenge Victor!”

“Cover her mouth and get her out of here,” Marcus ordered in a cold voice.

After that, he asked, “Mille, where are you?”

He didn’t sound so cold with her, but that definitely wasn’t how he talked to her in the past.

With a sneer, Millie ignored his question and asked, “Victor is dead, isn’t he?”

Marcus froze all of a sudden. It wasn’t until after a few seconds that he realized what she had just asked.

“What? What are you saying, honey?”

“I’m talking about Victor, your grandfather, who was stabbed with that knife. He’s dead, isn’t it? Ha ha! He got what he deserved!”
