Chapter 80
Chapter: 80
“You little devil,” Claudia said with a smile, inadvertently agreeing with Bruce.
Claudia loved magnolia flowers so much because they held a special meaning to
her. The first bouquet Mr. Thomas gave her was a bouquet of magnolia flowers.
“Actually, grandma, it's Millie that designed the brooch,” Bruce said.
Millie looked at him in surprise. What if she took all the credit?
Sure enough, Claudia looked at Millie with more appreciation in her eyes.
“Millie certainly has superb craftsmanship. Why don't you cut the cake with me
later?” Claudia asked with a smile. That was going to be a public recognition of
Millie.
Millie might have no appeal, but if Claudia appreciated and recognized her
publicly, she would be valued in the Thomas family.
Once that was settled, Claudia smiled at everyone and said, “You should all get
about your business now while I have a cup of tea. I'll come back when it'll be
time to cut the cake.”
As the crowd dispersed and people went in different directions, Millie went after
Leon.
“Leon,” she called to his back, but he kept walking without even acknowledging
her.
Millie frowned. She was so close behind him. He must have heard her.
Millie increased her steps and caught up to him until he could see her. “Leon.”
This time, he stopped walking and fixed Millie with a gaze so cold it sent a chill
through her.
“Yes?”
Even his indifferent tone was chilling. It intimidated Millie, but she kept her smile
in place and said, “Leon, I know you are a skilled surgeon; the best actually. My
grandmother has a complex tumor in her brain, that I think only you can remove.
1 would like you to take out this tumor. I'm ready to pay for it, no matter the cost.”
Slowly, Leon's gaze moved from Millie's face to her feet, scrutinizing her. From
the way his nose turned up, he must have concluded that she was too inferior for
him to waste time on.
When he opened his mouth to speak, she knew whatever he would say was not
something nice.

“What? But that's not possible! How?" Millie expected a refusal, but not that.
Without answering, he continued on his way, but Millie didn't let go.

“Leon, when did you stop practicing?”
From what she heard, Leon
possessed exceptional surgical skills.
No matter how difficult and
complicated the case was, he never
lost a patient. Somehow, he always
managed to save them. The content

There was once a famous case of a
pelvic tumor involving the sacrum.
This particular surgery scared all
surgeons who wanted nothing to do
with it. The only one that was brave
enough to attack it was Leon. At the
end, it was a successful surgery. He
not only saved the patient's life, but
avoided amputation. That was
beyond what anyone expected. That
earned him his name in the medical
field. The content is on
