It was midnight, and no one was in the hospital. It was said that as long as a person did no wrong, they would have nothing to fear or feel guilty about.

While sleeping, Joanna was overcome by an icy chill that jolted her awake. She sat upright in her bed, shivering.

She glanced at the empty ward, then looked out the window. She gasped and grabbed her phone. It was exactly midnight.

She had just awoken from a nightmare in which Millie appeared, wanting to take her life.

Joanna felt uneasy and rubbed her forehead. Then, she sent a message to Winston. "Win, are you asleep?"

Winston didn't reply to Joanna's text. She felt uneasy and got out of bed. She poured a glass of water, but before she could drink it, someone knocked on the door.

Joanna turned around and asked, "Who is it?"

She wondered if it was the nurse. Perhaps she had knocked on her door because she saw the light in her room. However, when Joanna asked, no one answered. The person just kept knocking continuously.

    Millie walked into the corridor and gazed at the surveillance camera. A mischievous smile formed on her lips as she made an "okay" gesture. At the same time, someone deleted the surveillance footage in the monitoring room.At the hospital entrance, Millie opened the door of a black MPV. A young man was already waiting inside."Have you deleted the footage?" Millie asked.Drew nodded. "Yes, boss."Drew Nash, a 20-year-old man, was the ace hacker at M Base. His exceptional brainpower and superb memory made him the core member of the team. His proficiency in creating plans and strategizing was unparalleled.Marvin got in the car and started driving. A smile crossed his face. "That's a good lesson for Joanna.""It's terrifying." Drew agreed.Millie was using makeup remover to remove the scary makeup from her face. She muttered, "She's going to hate me so much."Marvin tapped the steering wheel and sighed. "Of course. She couldn't wait to marry Winston, yet you haven't divorced him.

    Millie paused, her gaze locking with Logan's.At that moment, Joanna whispered, "Let Millie in, Logan."Logan instructed Millie coldly, "Be nice to Joanna."Millie chuckled. "Mr. Lowell, when have I ever been rude to your sister?"Moreover, it was well-known that Joanna was the pride of the Lowell family, and her two brothers cherished her deeply. If Millie bullied Joanna in front of Logan, wouldn't that be inviting trouble? She wasn't foolish enough to make such a mistake.Logan stopped responding to Millie and led her into the ward.In the ward, Joanna lay weakly, receiving an IV drip. She looked pale. As Millie entered, Joanna's eyes widened in disbelief.Millie was dressed in a white coat with a light green shirt underneath and black trousers. As she put her hands in her pockets, she gazed quietly at Joanna.Joanna's lips quivered as her hand, connected to the IV, trembled unconsciously. She gazed up and down at Millie, her eyes filled with disbelief and panic. Was it t

    Millie narrowed her eyes and moved closer, eager to hear whatever comment he had for her. Logan's breath caught in his throat as he gazed into Millie's approaching face. She was standing so close.When he wanted to speak, he gazed into Millie's stunning doe eyes. Logan couldn't help but frown. Then, he cleared his throat. Millie's eyes truly resembled those of Harriet's when she was young. As Logan lowered his voice and furrowed his brow, his rugged features looked particularly striking. He warned, "Anyway, stay away from Joanna from now on. If you have a problem with her, come at me instead."Logan deeply cared for Joanna. He believed that showing kindness to others' daughters could result in his biological sister, Louisa, being treated well by her adopted family. If Louisa could come home, Logan would undoubtedly shower her with even more love than Joanna. He would speak to Louisa with utmost gentleness and provide her with the best the world has to offer."Millie, smarten up.

    "I'm sorry." Cara's voice stopped Millie in her tracks.Millie stood at the end of the bed and gazed at her calmly. If she had felt pity for her yesterday, it was now replaced by indifference.She had been brutally beaten, her forehead wrapped in gauze, and her arms covered in bandages. The extent of Kane's cruelty toward her was evident. Millie couldn't help but feel pathetic when she reflected on how Cara had gone out of her way to protect Kane just the day before. And what did she receive in return? Only more severe violence from him."Dr. Caldwell, please understand that I have no other option. I depend on him for food and shelter." Her emotions were a bit unsteady, and the wound on her face was painful as she spoke.Millie frowned as Cara continued, "I'll die without him. Do you understand?"Millie shook her head. She simply couldn't comprehend."I have to beg him to pay for my medical expenses. I'll be dead if I lose him. In fact, he treats me quite well." Her voice gradu

    Suddenly, dark clouds loomed over Yerwick, signaling an imminent downpour. Millie noticed a black Audi parked at the entrance when she left the hospital. Standing next to it was a man in a suit."Millie." He waved at her with a warm smile, excluding charm and elegance."Hey, Mr. Harrison! It's been ages since we last saw each other. I can only imagine how busy you've been lately." Millie approached him.Simon acknowledged. "I just got back from a business trip."She peered into the car and spotted Simon's suitcase. "Did you come here directly without leaving your suitcase at home first?""I missed you, so I immediately came to the hospital," he replied bluntly.Millie couldn't help but glance at him once more and let out a light chuckle."Will you join me for dinner?" he asked.Millie nodded. "Sure."Simon gallantly opened the car door for Millie. Once inside, he presented her with a gift. "For you.""You shouldn't have!"Simon smiled and said, "It's okay. You saved my dad

    Harriet was about to thank the person who had tactfully helped her. However, when she saw it was Millie, her expression changed instantly.Millie looked at Harriet. She was the most beautiful lady among the noble women. She was elegantly dressed and seemed to really like bodycon dresses. Harriet wore them when she bumped into her for the past few times. Her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful. Even at fifty, she remained very attractive.She snorted. "Why are you here?""It's not surprising. Yerwick is so small. There are only a few good restaurants," Millie replied with a faint smile.Harriet glanced at Millie's table, wondering if she was dining alone. She pouted and couldn't help but remark, "You seem quite lonely, eating dinner all by yourself. Joanna always has Mr. Greer accompanying her, whether she is eating or going shopping."Millie's heart sank to her stomach, and her smile froze."If I recall correctly, Mr. Greer is your husband, right?" Harriet asked sarcastically.Mill

    Harriet had never imagined having a daughter like Millie. If her daughter ever dared to behave in such a way, Harriet would surely break her legs. At that thought, she couldn't help but let out a weary sigh. She had no idea what Louisa had become over the years. Was she a refined lady from a prestigious family? Or was she as boorish and unpleasant as Mille?…"Do you have any grudge against Mrs. Lowell?" Simon asked curiously."Joanna and I don't get along. It's not surprising that she's not nice to me." Not only Harriet, but also Logan. The Lowell family appeared to be very hostile toward her.Simon was surprised to hear that. Suddenly, he put his arms on the table and said mysteriously, "Millie, I know a secret of the Lowell family. Are you interested?"Millie took a sip of water. What was the secret of the Lowell family? She moved forward on the table, indicating that she was eager to hear every detail.Simon laughed. "Gossip queen! It turns out that there's no woman who doe

    "Mr. Greer?" the nurse called out Winston softly.Winston turned, emanating an indescribable sense of pressure.The nurse swallowed nervously and gently handed the medicine to him. "Here's your medication."Winston hummed in response. His gaze shifted toward the emergency room, and he lowered his voice. "What's going on?""Oh, Mr. Harrison's father had a heart attack," the nurse said.Winston frowned as he wondered what Simon's father suffering a heart attack had to do with Millie being there. Could it be that she had become the Harrisons' family doctor after the banquet? Winston found the idea ridiculous. Millie's skill was known in the society. The Harrison family was incredibly bold."Mr. Greer, you still need to pay more attention to your gastric health. Make sure to have three meals on time," the nurse reminded him.Winston frowned. He acknowledged her and left. The nurse's words sparked a memory of Millie. She had been persistently nagging him for years. Whenever he

    Layla said, "Even though it's soon New Year's and everyone is busy, try to be a bit more gentle! We're all elderly people here, so what's wrong with being patient?"Since you're in the service industry, you should maintain a proper attitude. If you can't even speak politely, then you shouldn't be in this line of work. I suggest you close up shop for good!"Winston squinted. That voice sounded very familiar. It seemed like Layla's voice.He quickly walked over and saw that Arthur was helping an elderly gentleman up while Layla was engaged in a debate with a young female shopkeeper."How I run my store is my business. If you want to buy something, go ahead. If not, just leave. I don't need you to tell me how to run my life!" The store owner glared at Layla while speaking with a very unfriendly tone, their voice sharp and cutting.Layla was exasperated and asked, "Don't you understand the saying that the customer is king?""What about the damn king? Just go away," the lady grumbled,

    Layla said, "Look, you're really persistent, aren't you? I don't like you. Do you need me to spell it out for you?""Grandma, I want to pursue Mills. Since I want to be with Mills, I need to have everyone's approval. Right now, I'm trying hard to make everyone like me. It's part of the process that you might dislike me at first, but I can't just give up because of that. How else would I pursue Mills?" Winston said clearly.As expected of a businessman, his negotiation style was very serious and precise. Despite his gentle tone, there was still a strong sense of pressure in his eyes and demeanor.Layla moved her lips slightly. She didn't know how to get Winston to leave, so she shouted, "I don't care! Just stop bothering us here!"Winston furrowed his brows.Layla then asked Arthur to pull the cart himself.Ding! Winston's phone rang out.Arthur took the cart and quickly left with Layla.Winston stood still, watching the couple walk away, and couldn't help but sigh. The call on

    "Grandpa, are you okay?" Winston finally had a moment to ask how he was doing.Arthur nodded. His demeanor toward Winston seemed a bit more gentle than before.Layla sighed. "There's too many people. Let's all slow down a bit.""Okay," Arthur said with a smile. "Don't worry, I'm fine.""You're getting older, and a fall could be life-threatening," Layla said anxiously, holding onto Arthur's arm tightly. "Hold onto me, alright?""If I hold onto you, I'll end up pulling you down as well if I fall!" Arthur grumbled.Layla said, "I don't care. Just hold onto me.""Okay, I'll hold on to you," Arthur relented.Winston was quietly following them from behind and couldn't help but smile himself. This was pretty nice.Who wouldn't envy a relationship that stayed this loving and affectionate all the way until old age?"Should we buy some candy?" Layla said, pointing at the candy in front of them.Arthur said, "Okay."Whatever she wanted, he would agree. The two of them acted both harmo

    "She's been hurt so badly, almost losing her life, yet he said she's fortunate. Clearly, he's the fortunate one! If he leaves our Mills, where else is he going to find a girl as wonderful and sweet as her?"Arthur nodded in agreement, playing along like a sidekick. "Exactly, that's what I'm saying!"He spoke a bit louder than usual, clearly aiming his words at Winston.Of course, Winston surely understood what they were thinking.He nodded. "Grandma is right. It was definitely me aiming too high. So if I get another chance, I will definitely treat Millie well.""Hmph! Men are all talk!" Layla had long seen through Winston's ways.Winston was at a loss for words.It didn't take long to reach the entrance of the supermarket.There were a lot of people present because of New Year's Day shopping.After Layla got sick once, her health had significantly worsened. Additionally, with one of her hands not working well, she appeared a bit flustered when she and Arthur entered the superm

    "Dear, could you give me a hand?" Layla asked. "Oh no, why is this step so slippery?"The next day, Winston sat in his car, watching as the elderly couple came out of the Caldwell residence.Arthur held the shopping cart in his hand, and the two of them were all geared up, ready to go out shopping.Winston got out of the car. The elderly couple happened to see Winston at that moment.Arthur and Layla exchanged glances. Layla spoke up first. "Mills is not here!""I understand. I'm not looking for Mills." Winston approached and stopped in front of them. "Grandma, Mills should have mentioned it to you. I was thinking of spending the Spring Festival with you and her."Layla reacted as if she had just heard a joke, saying bluntly, "When you were married, we never saw you spend the Spring Festival with her. "Now that you two have nothing to do with each other, why are you coming to spend the Spring Festival with her? She has family; she doesn't need you to spend the Spring Festival w

    Even though Winston wasn't eating, he was really good at paying and carrying things.Millie felt a strong sense of nostalgia for her own college days as she watched the university students eating.She wished she could go back to high school or maybe even college.She had seen many novels where the main female character went back to high school, and in each of these stories, she no longer loved the male lead when she returned back in time.If she went back to high school…"What are you thinking about? You're about to walk into the wall." Winston interrupted Millie's thoughts and pulled her closer to him.Millie really had almost bumped into a wall."Nothing." She smiled at Winston.Winston raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.The light from the food trucks shone on him and cast an indescribable sense of fate about him.He didn't belong here. Millie felt an increasingly strong urge to take him out of the scene immediately.Millie felt that if she went back to high school

    "Hey, young lady, would you like to try some beef organs?" a vendor selling snacks asked Millie while preparing the food. "You're such a pretty girl, and your boyfriend is quite handsome too!"Millie and Winston exchanged a glance.Millie shook her head and was about to say she didn't want any.But Winston simply said, "I'll take two."Millie gave Winston a questioning look.Winston said to her, "I wasn't planning on buying it either, but she called me your boyfriend. With her having such good taste, shouldn't I buy two to show some support?"The vendor laughed heartily.Millie pressed her lips together and moved her mouth slightly. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.The vendor said, "It seems like I was right. If I had mentioned the word husband, then would you have bought out my whole car?"Winston nodded. "I'm considering it. However, I don't think she'd approve."The vendor laughed heartily and said, "You all look unfamiliar, so you probably aren't from the school

    Millie was the type of person who stood firm on what she wanted, regardless of who was around. No setbacks or hardships could affect her.Winston thought about this and felt even more heartache for Millie. He was the one who turned the brave and passionate girl, someone who never cared about what others thought, into the cold person she was now.He felt that loving someone was akin to taking care of a flower. He had watched as a beautiful tulip transformed into a rose covered in thorns."Winston?"He heard Millie's voice close by.Winston turned his head and saw Millie frowning. "What are you thinking about? Let's go?""Not going to watch for a bit longer?" he asked."I've seen this fountain so many times. What's so special about it?" Millie remarked with a clear voice, glancing at the fountain.Winston smiled but didn't say anything.In the past, every time she was there, she would always use excuses like "I haven't seen enough" or "Let's watch the fountain a little longer" t

    "Hey there, could you help me take a picture?" Millie was looking around when someone suddenly called out to her.Millie turned around to see a tall boy holding a camera. Behind him, there was a girl waiting.Millie nodded and was about to take the camera to help with taking a picture.Winston suddenly asked, "Can I help""Huh?" The boy paused. He looked at both of them and then said with a smile, "Alright then…"However, he was clearly hesitant.Millie chuckled and said, "Let me handle it. I might be a bit more skilled than Mr. Greer is."Winston shrugged and didn't say anything else.Millie stepped forward with a camera in her hand. The two students stood next to each other. They maintained an appropriate distance, suggesting they weren't close. The girl wore a dress layered with a coat, which made her look stylish.Millie observed the two individuals. She could tell that the boy had feelings for the girl, for he was being very cautious.The girl was smiling sweetly at the
