Chapter 288“Couldn’t you have at least given me a heads-up?” Mila asked.Nathan remained silent and went straight into the bathroom.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Mila quickly leaped off the bed and ran to the door. She pressed her ear to the door andasked,
Who is it?”“Suzanne, open up.”
Mila’s heart stopped in her throat when she realized it was Sally. She turned to look at Nathan, who was in the bathroom. Theknock was getting more urgent. “Open up. Can’t you hear me? Open the door.”
After a moment's hesitation, Mila opened the door to find Sallystanding there with a smug look. Mila raised her voice, asking, “Ms. Hoffis, is there anything?”She was hoping to alert Nathan so he wouldn’t come out and be spotted.
Sally crossed her arms and looked at her contemptuously. “I’ve ne seen a woman as shameless as you. You threatened mygrandn with Nathan and even moved in here brazenly. Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
“lm not afraid to die,” Mila said in a calm voice.
Sally snorted. She was sizing Mila up and speculating about her intentions for staying at Hoffis Manor.“Ms. Hoffis, what do you want from me?” Mila asked.
“Oliver's looking for you. He’s in my grandpa’s sick room. Go to him,” Sally replied icily.

“All right. Can you show me the way?” Mila asked as she closed the
door.
Sally led her to Zach’s sick room. The spacious room was equipped with various life-monitoring devices, and the facilities wereno worse than those in a hospital.
Zach lay motionless in his bed. His face was pale, and he looked extremely frail.
Zach had always loved Mila dearly. It broke Mila’s heart to see Zach in such a state, and her eyes immediately watered. Shepushed
through the pain and walked slowly toward Zach.
Oliver was sitting on the couch and watching Mila. Loretta was wiping Zach’s hands clean. She turned around and asked inadispleased tone, “What are you here for?”
Mila’s heart hurt even more from Loretta’s stoniness.
“Mom, it was my request,” Oliver stated.
Loretta continued cleaning Zach’s hand while saying sternly, “This isa place where your dad recovers, not a place for just anyone. Get herout.”
Mila disregarded Loretta’s animosity. She walked over to th
side of the bed, held Zach’s hand, and calmly asked, “What k illness does Mr. Hoffis Senior have? And why isn’t he being treatea hospital?”
“Whether my grandpa goes to the hospital or not has nothing to do with you,” Sally said haughtily.
