Chapter 218

Author: Gina Cinq
Millie felt extremely blessed once more. As she leaned against the bed and looked out the window, she couldn't help but think, "I'd be even happier if…"

That evening, Millie was eager to head home. Yet, Sebastian visited and strongly encouraged her to undergo a thorough medical examination. He insisted that she should stay at the hospital for two days.

Fortunately, Cara was safe and sound. On the other hand, Millie felt bored in the ward. Although she was perfectly fine, she wasn't allowed to leave. She was being closely monitored as if she were a valuable asset.

Her phone chimed with a text notification. It was from Gloria. "Mills, the pierogies will be there soon."

Thinking about Gloria's pierogies, Millie perked up. She washed some fruits, poured two cups of coffee, and waited for Selma and Gloria to arrive.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door of the ward. She immediately called out, "Come in."

Millie's face lit up with joy as she turned toward the door. However, she w

    Winston remained silent, fixating his intense gaze on her. Millie started to feel uneasy. She lowered her head and quietly savored the pierogies. Time passed, and she cautiously glanced up, only to find he was still staring at her."Stop staring at me and eat your food! Here," Millie said, placing a pierogi on his plate.He looked down at the pierogi and frowned. Suddenly, Millie seemed to remember something and took the pierogi back.Winston was stunned and wondered what she was doing."I forgot you don't like when others pick food for you," Millie muttered while chewing her food.Winston stayed quiet and eventually let out a sigh. "Why weren't you this obedient before?" he asked, his tone solemn, as if he were lamenting something. "I was once your wife, which meant I had the freedom to do as I pleased. And I believed that I held a special place in your heart compared to others," Millie responded honestly.Winston glanced at her, feeling an inexplicable pang in his heart upo

    Millie froze in surprise. Winston folded his arms and scrutinized her. "Can't I?""It feels inappropriate," she whispered."Inappropriate how?" he chuckled."It's not right for a man and woman to share a room," she replied with a serious expression."Oh, and that's inappropriate?" Narrowing his eyes, he suddenly walked toward her bed.A bad feeling arose within her. She flinched when he bent over to whisper in her ear, "But you sang a different tune in the car the other day."Confused, she thought, "In the car? Which day?" She wondered if something had slipped her mind."You molested me on our way home that night after you had too much to drink. Ms. Caldwell, do you not remember it?" He seductively narrowed his eyes at her.She choked. She needed some time to recollect the events of that night at the bar.That night, she was drinking at the bar with Rachel when they bumped into Jake. They probably also spotted Winston. And what happened after that?"Oh, you touched and kiss

    Winston turned on the flashlight on his phone and saw Millie snuggling in his arms."Millie?" he called to her, but she didn't respond.His back pressed against the seat as the couch was too cramped for them. When Millie shifted, he immediately reached out and pulled her closer for fear that she might fall off.Was she sleepwalking?…The air of the morning after was fresh and crisp after the stormy night. The nurse entered the room to run a blood test and found the couple asleep on the couch.She stole another glance at them and tiptoed out to check on other patients, not wanting to disturb them.When the door clicked shut, Millie frowned and slowly opened her eyes. Winston's handsome face loomed in front of her, causing her to jump in shock and nearly roll off the couch.Suddenly, he tightened his grip on her waist and pulled her into his arms. His eyes fluttered open. "What time is it now?" His voice was thick with grogginess.Millie was taken aback when she found herself

    Winston looked at Millie and grunted. Then, he continued putting on his tie as though the information didn't concern him.Millie had to admit that he was extremely handsome, even when he looked groggy in the morning.Lips pursed, he picked up his jacket. She watched as he slowly buttoned his shirt, thinking, "Tsk! Joanna is a lucky woman indeed."“I'm leaving now," he said to her.She stood there and watched him leave. Then, she let out a silent sigh.He stopped at the door without warning and turned, eliciting a look of surprise from her. Smirking and arching a brow, he teased her, "Your waist feels good to the touch."She was rendered speechless. Damn it! The idea of snuggling in his arms while asleep overcame her with guilt. "You're useless!" she quietly chided herself. What was there to fear about a storm? How embarrassing!By the way, he mentioned something about her actions when she was drunk. What exactly happened? What slipped her mind?Why did she feel that he was

    "Dr. Quinn, can I get discharged? I'm totally fine now!" Millie grabbed Lainey's sleeve and begged pitifully to be discharged when Lainey dropped by to visit.Lainey flipped through Millie's checkup record and said lazily, "It wasn't me. It was Dr. Lloyd who wouldn't release you. I don't have a say.""Ugh!" Millie slumped onto the bed and pouted at Lainey. "I want to get back to work. I'm very passionate about my job. Dr. Quinn, do you get me?"Lainey grinned at her. How would Millie love her job when she had to work overtime and get criticized whenever she accompanied Lainey to surgery?Lainey patted her on the head. "Fine. I'll talk to Dr. Lloyd."Millie immediately transformed into an obedient child. She asked, "Can I visit Cara?"Lainey nodded. "Of course."Millie quickly changed into her shoes and followed Lainey to Cara's room. As Cara remained in critical condition, she was warded in the ICU.Warren might have stabbed Cara in the abdomen, which wasn't supposed to be fata

    When Millie turned toward the door, she looked visibly surprised by the visitor. She stood up and greeted him, "Oh, Simon."Simon looked gentlemanly in a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses. Holding a bouquet of lilies and some food, he entered the room and joked, "I'm here to visit the hero."She pouted. "I'm no hero. Someone had to protect me from getting stabbed.""Why? Are you disappointed because you didn't get stabbed?" He placed the food on the table and handed her the bouquet. "Here's some fresh lilies for you."She stared at the flowers and lamented silently, "Winston has never bought me flowers."Soon, she put on a smile and replied to Simon, "Thanks. I love it.""I brought food for you, but I'm not sure if they are to your taste." He pointed at the food on the bedside table before slumping onto the chair."I'm sure I'll like whatever you buy for me." She raised a brow and joked with him, looking happy."You're a sweet talker." Amused by her statement, he chuckled, eye

    After making that remark, Simon deliberately glanced at Winston, who shot daggers at him expressionlessly.Smirking, Simon left the room with satisfaction. The moment the door closed, Winston clenched his fist.Millie asked, "Aren't you leaving?"He quickly turned to Millie and laughed wryly. "It hasn't been five minutes since I arrived with food for you, but you're already kicking me out."On the contrary, she offered to see Simon off. He thought, "She's certainly had a quick change of heart, hasn't she?"Checking the time, she grumbled, "But it's been more than five minutes…"He glared at her speechlessly.Pouting, she gave in. "Fine." Her attitude softened when she pointed at the chair. "Have a seat please, Mr. Greer."He plopped on the chair angrily and opened the food container. "Mom wants me to make sure you finish the food."When he noticed Simon's food, he criticized Simon's choices, "You can't take all these junk foods when you're hospitalized.""Those aren't junk fo

    That was a question that Winston himself had no answer to. Millie pressed on. "Are you not going to get a divorce?"He sank into silence while her expression grew serious.Their breathing sounded loud in the silence of the room. She watched as his breathing grew uneven. Finally, he frantically shoved her away."You're delusional," he snapped. No way he'd fall in love with her. Millie fell into a daze when she heard his icy remark. She repeated his words to herself, "You're delusional."Winston had labeled her as delusional multiple times.Standing up, he tugged at his collar and gulped nervously. Dodging her gaze, he chose to stare out of the window instead.She studied his figure for a while. Finally, she broke into a smile. "I was just joking, but you seemed rattled by it.""Don't ever make those jokes again. They're not funny at all," Winston warned her with a frown when he turned.Millie teased him, pouting, "Mr. Greer, you're fierce." Her tone carried a hint of coyne

    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
