Chapter 176:
Seated across from her doctor, Millie looked drained, her eyes vacant as silent tears slid down her cheeks.
“What am I supposed to do?” she whispered. “I just feel so empty, and it hurts. Dr. Carpenter, is there a pill for this sadness?”

“Recovery takes time,” Rita replied. “I’ll give you something to help you calm down for now. How does that sound?”
An acute episode had gripped Millie, and if things spiraled further, electroconvulsive therapy might become necessary—she would need a family member with her for that.

Her body had begun mending from the devastating miscarriage and the physical trauma of her recent fall, while Crobert Hospital efficiently processed her discharge documentation. Alexia had taken complete control of every administrative detail, lifting that burden from Millie’s shoulders.
For endless stretches of time, she existed in a strange limbo, uncertain of her next steps or even her current purpose in this fractured world.
Eventually, Charles became the person who managed to locate her through her maze of isolation.
Within the bustling practice halls of Evans Entertainment, Millie threw herself into preparations for the demanding third live show of Heavenly Melody. Her phone buzzed against the table, and when she glanced down, Brandon’s name flashed across the screen.
Technically speaking, they remained caught in the legal web of divorce proceedings, still bound by marriage papers, creating an obligation for her to discuss certain significant matters with him.
However, the countdown had already begun, and very soon, she and Brandon would become complete strangers to each other, their connection severed permanently. After weighing her options carefully, Millie chose to let the call fade into digital silence.
