Chapter 208
Although visiting Sally at the nursing home was a painful experience for the Miller family, especially during the New Year, they could hardly avoid going to see her on such an important day.
Every year on the first day of the New Year, Maggie and Old Lady Miller would prepare a sumptuous
meal for Sally and bring it to the nursing home. This year was no different.
So, early on New Year’s Day, Maggie woke up.
When she went downstairs, Old Lady Miller, Sally, and Helen were already up.
Seeing her come down, Old Lady Miller and Helen both handed her gifts.
Old Lady Miller gently touched Maggie’s face and said with a kind smile, “In the new year, may our Maggie be smooth and successful.”
Maggie smiled and said, “Yes, thank you, Grandma.”
After breakfast, Maggie and Helen went into the kitchen to start preparing the ingredients.
Old Lady Miller and Jason were both excellent cooks, but when it came to cooking for Sally, they could only assist. This was because Sally could taste their food, and that could easily cause her to lose control of
her emotions.
So, in the early years, this task was mainly handled by Helen.
Later, when Maggie learned to cook, she began working with Helen, dividing the tasks between them.
In fact, Maggie had wanted to learn to cook for Sally when she was very young, but Old Lady Miller had
stopped her.
She didn’t want Maggie to learn to cook so early because that would mean taking on the burden of caring
for Sally too soon.
Maggie’s childhood had already been hard enough. Old Lady Miller hoped she could have a more carefree and joyful childhood, without being constantly affected by past events.
Two hours later, a table of delicious dishes was ready.
Xavier and Hugo helped pack the food.

Mr. CEO, Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time
Chapter 208”
With the New Year’s gifts they had prepared in advance, the Miller family of six set off for the nursing
home.
They had prepared New Year’s red envelopes and gifts for the doctors and nurses who took care of Sally.
Sally still looked as emaciated as ever, with vacant eyes.
Maggie and the others stood in a place where Sally couldn’t see them, watching as she remained oblivious to the gifts the doctors had brought.
The red envelope from Old Lady Miller was handed to her by a nurse, but Sally barely glanced at it before dropping it to the ground.
She didn’t seem to have much appetite. With a full table of food in front of her, she didn’t bother to eat. The nurse had to put some in her bowl for her to eat a few bites.
Before she could taste all the dishes, she lost interest again and withdrew into her own world.
The nurse had no choice but to take the food away.
Maggie’s eyes had long turned red.
But she didn’t show it, afraid of affecting everyone’s mood.
Actually, Old Lady Miller and the others felt the same.
After staying at the nursing home for almost half an hour, they left.
It was already close to noon.
They didn’t feel like cooking lunch at home.
In fact, no one really felt like eating lunch.
But food had to be eaten, after all.
Maggie said, “Let’s eat outside.”
Old Lady Miller nodded, “Okay, Maggie, you decide.”
At the restaurant, after they parked the car and got out, they saw the Brown and Green families.
They were also there to eat.
