Millie's honesty made Selma uneasy. "Mills, are you in love with Simon?" she asked.

If Millie were to claim that she had fallen in love with Simon, the Greer family would stop bothering her.

Millie held the phone tightly. She hesitated before replying firmly, "Yes, Grandma. Simon is a good man. He is gentle and kind. I'm extremely happy with him."

Selma fell silent once more, and Millie picked up on her subdued sigh. Selma had invested so much in her marriage with Winston, yet it had still come to this point.

"Mills, I simply can't bear the thought of you leaving." Selma's voice choked with emotion.

Millie beamed with a warm smile. "Even though Winston and I won't be husband and wife anymore, our relationship will remain unchanged. I assure you, I'll continue to visit you frequently, alright?"

Selma refused to give up. "Mills, please reconsider, okay?"

"Grandma, I've truly fallen for Simon," Millie said, trying to make Selma give up.

There was no point for Selma to continue pes

    "Millie, we're working at the outpatient clinic today," Lainey informed.Suddenly, Joanna stepped forward and asked, "Dr. Quinn, could you bring me along?"Lainey was surprised to see Joanna coming along, as she typically wouldn't join them."Sure. Then the two of you can go together," Lainey replied indifferently. One more person wouldn't make any difference to her."Why are you always following me? It's so hard to shake you off," Millie whispered sharply to Joanna."I started working at the Cardiac Surgery Department first. You're the one who should stop following me," Joanna retorted sarcastically."Joanna, I strongly advise you to keep a low profile. Don't forget whose spot you took to get into medical school," Millie threatened.Joanna was stunned.Millie added, "If you keep pushing me, I'll make sure your qualifications are worthless.""Are you threatening me?" Joanna asked furiously."It's great that you caught on," Millie replied with a sweet smile. "I thought you wer

    Millie followed them into the room and heard a prison guard urging the doctor, "This prisoner is important. You have to save him."The prison guard then made a phone call, saying, "Yes, it's 2823. He's the main culprit in Winston Greer's kidnapping case."Millie glanced at the prison guard before making her way into the emergency room. Inside, she saw a man with a pallid complexion, foaming at the mouth and looking weak. She couldn't help but wonder if he had been poisoned while in prison. Millie was startled by the thought and wondered whether Winston was responsible.Millie couldn't help but remember the horrifying memory where the kidnapper tied her up and weighed her down with a rock before throwing her into the sea. It sent a shiver down her spine, causing her whole body to tremble involuntarily. Instinctively, she reached to touch the wound on her back, and a sudden surge of pain shot through her. The pain was unbearable, making Millie extremely uncomfortable.As she left

    Winston smirked and shot a hostile glance at Simon. "A good match? I highly doubt it."Millie's eyebrows shot up in surprise at Winston's remark. In response, she intentionally hugged Simon's arm. "Mr. Greer, maybe you should take another look."Winston thought, "What does she mean by this? Is she challenging me?""Why do you think we aren't compatible?" Millie leaned in closer to Simon, looking more intimate.Winston's frown deepened, and Joanna could clearly sense his displeasure. She gently took his hand in hers.Winston fixed a sinister gaze on Millie, but she remained unfazed, her expression growing even more indifferent. Her provocation only intensified.With a composed smile, he replied casually, "As long as you approve of him, it doesn't matter if others think you two are a good match or not."Milled nodded. "That makes perfect sense."She looked up at Simon, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Simon, I know a fantastic restaurant that serves amazing food. How about we

    "Yerwick is such a small city." Millie sighed.In fact, Yerwick was a big city. However, she kept running into people she didn't want to see.The man sneered as he slowly walked forward, finally standing beside Millie to wash his hands. Millie grabbed two tissues and dried her hands. Her fingers were truly beautiful, with a lovely hint of pink.Winston turned away and said in a low voice, "Millie, you've gone too far.""What do you mean, Mr. Greer?" Millie asked, tilting her head.Winston gazed into her doe eyes. Bathed in the soft, warm yellow light, her face was exquisite and captivating. Those eyes seemed to hold an irresistible allure. Winston's patience was wearing thin. "I'm sure you understand what I mean."This charade with Simon had to end."I'm not smart, so I really don't," Millie replied, looking away as she continued to dry her hands.Winston snorted and asked, "Millie, do you think this will get my attention?""I had no intention of capturing your attention, Mr

    Winston grabbed Millie's wrist and spun her around, pressing her against the wall. As he did, he noticed the butterfly tattoo on her back. Suddenly, a blurred image of a woman flashed through his mind, overwhelming him with a surge of emotion. He found himself struggling to catch his breath.Pinned against the wall, Millie glared at Winston, fighting and cursing, "Let me go!"Winston felt extremely uneasy when he spotted her butterfly tattoo. Tightening his grip, he demanded, "How did you get this injury?"Millie warned him sternly, "Release me, or I'll hit you."Winston couldn't help but glance up at Millie. His thick, long eyelashes framed his eyes. In the softly lit bathroom, his silhouette appeared slightly blurred. "Answer me!" he shouted.Millie looked away, embarrassed by how he gripped her arm and restrained her.Winston was anxious, convinced that there was something behind Millie's injury. He wondered if it was possible for two women to have the same injury.Millie

    It seemed that Joanna had been frequently ill since Winston's kidnapping."Let's go," said Simon.Mille hummed in response.They stood in silence in front of the elevator. Simon's gaze landed on Millie's shoulder. "So, how did you get this injury?"Millie was stunned, wondering if he had also overheard her conversation with Winston."I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional. I noticed Joanna at the door and my curiosity got the best of me, so I went over and happened to overhear," Simon explained.Millie shook her head to show that it didn't matter if he asked. Casually, she offered an explanation. "When I was a kid, I fell off the balcony and landed on a vase, which ended up cutting me."Simon gazed into her eyes and asked, "Really?""Of course! I never lie," Millie said with a serious expression.Simon burst out laughing. Millie cleared her throat slightly, feeling slightly guilty."Never lie…" He chuckled softly, repeating Millie's words.Simon was speechless. She always insisted

    "Win, why are you here?" Selma was surprised to see Winston. She had secretly gone to the hospital with Gloria and wondered who had informed him."Grandma, I asked him to come," Millie interjected.All her colleagues eagerly looked into the office, hoping to get firsthand information. When Winston closed the door, they all sighed. They wondered what they would talk about, especially with Winston present."Grandma, Mom, I'll take you home," Winston said as he walked over and tried to help Selma up.Selma quickly pushed Winston away and crossed her arms. "I'm not going back!""This is a hospital, and Millie is working right now. Grandma, please be considerate," Winston advised, lowering his voice.Selma glared at Winston, a mix of grievance and disappointment in her eyes. "If you were capable of resolving your relationship issues on your own, I wouldn't have bothered to come here.""Exactly!" Gloria agreed, her tone dripping with reproach.Winston felt powerless. He said, "Mom, a

    Millie wondered if she still loved Winston. Maybe she still had lingering feelings for him and couldn't fully let go.She looked at his striking face and memories of their wedding day flooded her mind. Rachel asked, "Millie, do you really love him that much? Would you still marry him even if he were cold to you?"Back then, she had firmly declared, "I love him. He's the only one I've ever loved. He's the only one I will love."However, she could no longer muster the courage to confess her unwavering love. Millie forced a smile, determined to keep her dignity in Winston's presence.Winston was annoyed by the way she looked at him. Her smile felt like a dagger piercing his heart.Millie said, "Grandma, I don't love him anymore."Winston felt a pang of hurt. It wasn't the first time she'd said she didn't love him. However, it still stung every time she looked at him and smiled, confirming her words. He couldn't help but think back to their university days. She had stood before h

    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
