“We need to schedule the surgery promptly, to alleviate her suffering.”
“I'll ensure the procedure is expedited,” Millie assured her, her head nodding in
agreement.
Having spent a quiet spell by her grandmother's side, Millie took out her phone to
arrange an afternoon meet-up with Gianna at a nearby café.
