Chapter 175

Author: Gina Cinq
For the entire morning, Millie focused on learning. It was indeed like what Lainey had said. There were different kinds of patients.

Some of them had tears in their eyes as they begged Lainey to save them, while others knitted their brows, displaying stubborn disbelief.

However, what was more infuriating than the patients were their families. Like the one before them now.

"What kind of illness does she have? Why is it costing me so much money? I can't afford any more treatments for her! Tell me straight, can you actually cure her?"

In front of them was a middle-aged man in tattered clothes. Kane Olsen appeared to be in his 50s and exuded an indescribable vulgarity.

Sitting beside him was Cara Turner, a woman in her 30s. She was fair and beautiful yet evidently meek.

"Doctor, I want to know… if there's still a chance to cure my condition." Her voice was exceptionally soft. It was as if her words could vanish with the wind.

"You can't even bear a child! What's the point of treat

    When Lainey first started working at the outpatient clinic, she encountered a couple like that. She felt sorry for the woman and decided to help her.However, when the man found out, he immediately latched onto Lainey. He went as far as to extort her into buying cars and a house for them. He even wanted her to support them for the rest of their lives.The man even justified his actions by claiming that Lainey was wealthy, insisting that she should uphold her good intentions to the end.Since then, Lainey had grown wary of such manipulative individuals."I understand, Dr. Quinn," Millie replied earnestly."That's all for now. It's time for your lunch break."After saying that, Lainey removed her glasses and massaged her temples. She appeared visibly exhausted.Millie approached her and offered, "Dr. Quinn, let me give you a massage."Initially, Lainey wanted to refuse. But Millie's massage was unexpectedly pleasant, and it made her unwilling to say no. What had earned her the

    After lunch, Millie was familiarizing herself with the outpatient clinic environment when she received a message from Thomas.Thomas: "Millie, let's go out to have fun!"Millie: "My dear uncle, I'm employed. I need to work."Thomas: "Why do you need to work? Can't our family support you?"Millie felt resigned. The Caldwells could indeed support her financially, but she couldn't depend on them forever.Thomas: "Well, let me take you out for a nice meal tonight. Consider it a treat."Millie smiled and replied, "Okay."Perhaps Thomas felt that she had been treated unfairly at the dinner with Gideon the previous night, so he wanted to treat her to a nice meal.As Millie walked toward the elevator, she suddenly spotted a familiar and somewhat timid figure at the front desk.Frowning, she recognized Cara, the woman from earlier. She was dressed simply—a clean, white blouse with floral canvas shoes. Her dark hair was neatly tied up, giving her a dignified demeanor.Cara happened to

    Kane's furious shouting echoed in the ears of those nearby, leaving everyone visibly displeased."What do you mean she's worthless?""Where did this man come from? Why is he acting so barbaric?""Call the police. Quick! Someone call the police!"Cara lay on the ground, her nose bleeding. She was now too weak to move. The onlookers' attempts to stop Kane were futile as he showed no intention of stopping. He continued to interrogate Cara, "Are you still going to seek treatment? Do you still want to sneak out on your own? Answer me!" He then brutally slapped her. Overwhelmed by anguish, tears streamed down Cara's cheeks.While some wished they had been born in today's free society, others found their lives unbearable despite living in it. Millie felt a pang shoot through her heart. Despite Lainey's repeated warnings not to get involved in patients' personal affairs, she couldn't stand by and watch after witnessing this scene. That was because Kane's insults weren't just direc

    Millie chuckled wryly. Only those incapable would want to control someone else's fate."Go ahead, then," she said coolly. At that moment, she was unusually clear-headed and calm."Are you threatening me?" Kane glared at Millie, his breath becoming rapid. "You think I wouldn't dare, huh?"Right then, Cara slowly rose from the floor. She clutched Kane's thigh and shook her head at him, saying, "Dr. Caldwell, thank you, but… I don't want to seek treatment anymore." Tears flowed down her cheeks, and her eyes were bloodshot. Millie couldn't even see the signs of aging in them anymore. "I don't want to seek treatment anymore. I'll go home with you. I'll listen to you and do whatever you say," Cara pleaded as she held onto Kane's thigh. "Let's go home. Let's stop this."The commotion caused everyone to look at them as if they were a spectacle. Millie couldn't help but feel pathetic. When she saw Cara, she felt as though she had seen herself. She had pleaded desperately, begging Wi

    Millie viciously threw Kane over her shoulder and sent him crashing to the ground. The crowd around them cheered and clapped. "That's right! Teach him a lesson!""You were raised by a woman, weren't you? So, what's with all this hatred toward women?"Blood began to trickle down from the corners of Kane's mouth. He stared blankly at the ceiling and moved his fingers. Millie looked at him coldly while lightly wiping her mouth. Then, she gestured at him with a stoic expression and coolly commanded, "Get up!"Seeing that her husband was lying on the ground, Cara sobbed as she crawled over. "P-Please don't hit him," she pleaded to Millie.Millie was taken aback. Was Cara actually begging for mercy for this man?"Please don't hit him. If you kill him, it'll be the end of our family."Millie was shocked to the core. Even at this point, Cara still referred to him as family.Yet, she raised her fist again. However, Cara shielded Kane, protecting him with her body. Millie froze with

    On her way back to the hospital, Millie called Marvin and instructed, "I want all news about me from today at the hospital to be kept under wraps. Marvin, make sure I don't come across any online chatter about me.""Got it," answered Marvin.…When Millie returned to the outpatient clinic, everything had returned to normal. Patients were constantly coming and going. Hence, it was no surprise that they didn't know about the commotion earlier.The doctors and nurses, however, looked at her with admiration. In a situation where everyone was just spectating, Millie was the only one who stepped forward. She was truly brave!In no time, she arrived at the outpatient clinic. She thought of how Lainey had repeatedly warned her to stay out of patients' personal affairs, yet she didn't heed her advice. Now, Millie wondered how Lainey would scold her. She summoned her courage and knocked on the door."Come in," Lainey's cold and stern voice rang out.Millie steeled herself before opening

    Thomas was still upset and cursed, "A bitch must have scratched it. He is so shameless!"Millie nodded and reprimanded, "Exactly. He is utterly shameless!""It's alright, Millie. Good men are everywhere! Once you divorce him, I'll help you find someone better," Thomas assured, patting her shoulder.Millie nodded eagerly. "Thank you, Uncle Thomas!"Little did she know that Winston, who was on his way to the hospital, suddenly sneezed. He sniffed and wiped his nose.Beside him, Eli asked with concern, "Mr. Greer, have you caught a cold? I'll get you some flu medicine.""No…" Winston sneezed again before he could finish speaking. He waved his hand, signaling to Eli that it wasn't necessary.Eli cleared his throat, unable to resist glancing once more at the scratch on Winston's neck. The unmistakable marks made it clear that he had been accidentally scratched during an intimate encounter. It must have been Millie who had done it when they were entangled last night. Despite their

    "Uncle Thomas, have you read the news? Anderson Group is no more." Millie took a sip of her latte and looked up at Thomas.Thomas was checking the contract on his phone. He frowned and casually replied, "Yeah?""Are you responsible for that?" Millie couldn't resist asking.Thomas looked up at Millie again. "What?" "Were you the one who did it?" Millie asked again.Thomas finalized the contract, switched off his phone, and grinned at Millie. "Of course!"He showed the contract on his phone, misinterpreting Millie's question. "I've achieved success for a reason, you know?"Millie laughed. "You're the best, Uncle Thomas."Thomas was just about to say something when his phone rang. Millie sipped her latte and heard Thomas shout, "What? Right now? How serious is it?"He stood up suddenly, and Millie quickly set down the cup. She couldn't help but wonder who was in trouble. Thomas informed the other person on the phone that he would be there soon and promptly hung up."An artist f

    While in the hospital, Millie rubbed her arms to keep warm. Then, the person on the bed woke up.Millie turned her head and looked at the person on the hospital bed. Winston's eyes were dull and showed signs of exhaustion. Their eyes met, and neither of them said a word.The nurse entered and saw that Winston was awake, so she patiently asked about his condition.He just kept looking at Millie without saying anything.Millie glanced at the nurse, signaling that she could continue with her work. Winston seemed fine now."You're not allowed to drink anymore," Millie said, her voice calm and indifferent.He closed his eyes, turned his head away, and didn't look at her again.Millie frowned and asked, "What do you mean by turning your head?"Winston remained silent, unable to speak because of the tightness in his throat.Millie poured a glass of water and asked him, "Would you like some water?"He still remained silent.Millie grew impatient and said, "Then I'll call Eli to take

    Other than that word, Everly couldn't hear anything else."Dad, I can't hear what you're saying at all." Everly was becoming frustrated.Thomas exclaimed, "I said, Mills!""Yes, you're talking about Mills. And then? What about her?" Everly was extremely confused.She picked up her phone to check the time—it was already 3:00 am.She was about to lose it. From New Year's Eve till now, she did nothing but take care of Thomas."Dad, why don't we just go to sleep?" Everly didn't want to listen anymore.Whatever it was, she would be nice to Millie and not go up against her.She didn't like Millie before, but that was simply because she disliked how obsessed Millie was with romantic relationships."Oh! Ah!" Thomas suddenly started grumbling as he threw back the blanket. "Why can't you understand?"He was getting agitated.Everly was also getting extremely agitated. What exactly did she need to understand?He wasn't even speaking loud enough."I mean your sister! Millie!" Thomas s

    Everly, feeling exasperated, helped Thomas off the couch and took him to the bathroom.Thomas lifted his head. His face was flushed, and his eyes dazed over. "My daughter, my daughter, I didn't throw up…"Everly looked at the mess on the ground and felt a headache coming on. Thomas had already thrown up, yet he still claimed he hadn't."You're drinking so much even though you can't handle it!" Everly shouted."What are you saying? It's like you're saying, saying, saying… ugh!" Thomas immediately leaned over the toilet, unable to finish his sentence. It was like he was speaking in tongue twisters, and no one could understand him.Everly sighed. She twitched her nose and turned to go outside to wait for him.Ten minutes went by, and Everly had finished tidying up the house. There was no sound coming from the washroom where Thomas was.Everly furrowed her brows and called out, "Dad?"Fine. It seemed like he was going to end up sleeping on the toilet.Everly walked over and, as ex

    "I'll go get your medicine for you. Wait a moment." Millie intended to get the medicine from the bedside table.But then, Winston grabbed her arm. His palms were sweaty, and when he held her hand, it felt so hot it was as if he might burn her.Millie looked down at him.Winston looked up at her face, worried that if he let go, she might disappear.However, he knew very well that Millie wanted to leave, and he couldn't stop her."Millie, do you really have to give up on me?" Winston asked again, seeming determined to get an answer.Millie furrowed her brows, breathing heavily."Do you have to?" He looked at her. "Hmm?"Millie felt her heart tighten, and she just couldn't bring herself to say, "I have to let you go.""Winston," she called to him.Winston had no more strength left in him, as if he couldn't wait any longer to hear those words from her.He suddenly bent over and fell to the ground.Millie paused for a moment, then she quickly crouched down. "Winston?"She immed

    Millie tightened her grip on the doorknob and turned to look at Winston.He stood next to the coffee table, his hands dangling awkwardly at his sides. The expression on his face seemed profoundly sorrowful. Although they were close, it felt as if a huge ocean stood between them when he looked at her, making it impossible for him to bridge the gap.Winston made a slight groaning sound, licking his lips and breathing heavily. His body was also swaying a bit. His stomach felt extremely uncomfortable, churning violently as if he might throw up at any moment.What bothered him even more was the comment Millie had just made.She said, "Let's end this."End it? But how would they just end it? Then were her seven years over just like that? Did his guilt and regret count for anything?She could move on from him, love someone else, and marry them. But what about him? He could never forgive himself for the rest of his life…Could they just end it?"Millie. Tell me, how are we supposed to

    "Listen." Millie bit her lip but finally mustered up the courage to speak. "Let's end this between us."During those years with him, she caused her family a lot of worry and concern. She no longer wanted her family to worry about her.Or perhaps, she had become scared. She didn't want to gamble with her feelings anymore."Winston, I admit defeat. I don't have the courage to go through this with you again." Millie's voice was choked with emotion as she struggled to hold back her sadness while saying this.Winston instinctively reached for her hand."Millie, you promised me. You said you'd give me a chance. Why?" His eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and his voice was so hoarse it seemed like he could barely speak."There's no reason. The new year has begun, and I hope you get better. Don't come looking for me anymore." Millie pulled away from Winston's hand, turned around, and got ready to leave.He suddenly hugged Millie tightly and said, "Don't…"Winston's voice seemed to pierce

    Millie opened the car door and pushed Winston inside the car.Winston fastened his seatbelt in the dark by himself.Millie got into the car and saw him sitting there quietly, which made her smile and sigh.Millie drove at a moderate speed. The road was busy, with many people out to watch fireworks, while others were heading home.Winston looked to the driver's side, his gaze fixed on Millie.Millie could sense that he was watching her, but she kept avoiding eye contact. Her mind was preoccupied with the messages her dad had sent.Let him go… The question was, could she give up on him?Millie furrowed her brow and rested her hand on her forehead, deep in thought."Did I make you hate me…?" Winston's raspy voice suddenly sounded next to her ear.Millie looked over at him with confusion."Does my drinking make you hate me?" he asked again, just like a child afraid of upsetting Millie."No." Millie shook her head.Despite having drunk too much, he still made an effort to pay at

    After the video call ended, Millie placed her phone on the table.Thomas said to Millie, "Hahaha! Mills, look, he can't handle his drink!"Having been the son-in-law of the Caldwell family for three years, I only just found out that he can't hold his liquor."Millie gave a wry smile. This statement seemed to be a double-edged sword. For three years, he hadn't visited the Caldwell family even once. Winston was truly ruthless at that time.Winston quickly explained to Millie, "Millie, I haven't had too much. I can still drink, honestly."His face was completely flushed, and it was clear that his speech was slurred.The two of them had already finished a bottle of vodka.Thomas was even ready to switch to a different type of alcohol.Thomas had spent many years away from home and was quite a heavy drinker. His drinking ability was different from that of Winston.Winston could ask Eli to drink on his behalf if he didn't want to, but if Thomas was trying to win resources for Rach

    At the dining table, Thomas and Winston started drinking vodka.The TV was showing this year's New Year Gala while Millie was quietly eating pierogi.She hadn't had homemade pierogi for three years, and they tasted so good. It felt like being back in her childhood, celebrating the New Year with her family. That was what made the festival truly special.Millie looked at her grandparents with a constant smile on her face. She felt happier than she had ever been before.She wished her parents were here too. Oh, those two…Just as she was thinking about this, her phone rang. It was Terrence calling.Millie answered the call without saying a word and pointed the camera toward Thomas.This year, Thomas had no one to drink with, so he turned to Winston for company.Terrence was lounging in the sun when he caught sight of Winston. His eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately set down his juice."Who is that? Am I seeing this right?" Terrence sat up straight, his voice filled with
