Chapter 288

Author: Gina Cinq
The identity of the whistleblower was the biggest problem now. The scandal threatened to ruin Joanna's career.

"Who else other than you could have done it?" Harriet's face reddened in anger. As a mother, she felt horrible to see her daughter's career derailed. She was riddled with guilt for failing to protect Joanna.

"Who knows if it was your daughter's slip of the tongue when she got drunk? Anyway…" Millie approached Sebastian and glanced at the anonymous letter. "Dr. Lloyd, I'm just here to clarify that I didn't write that letter."

She added confidently, "I will cooperate if you launch an investigation." After all, truth would prevail.

Despite her hatred of Joanna, she had never considered hurting the latter, but not because she was weak.

She could be a force to be reckoned with, but she chose to tolerate Joanna for one reason—Winston loved Joanna.

However, she wouldn't accept the Lowells' unfair accusation.

"Alright, Millie. I got it," Sebastian replied with a serious expres

    Millie dodged Harriet's attack. Harriet frowned at her. "How dare you move away?""Not even my parents have laid a finger on me. Who do you think you are?" Millie confronted Harriet, who was at a loss for words.Trembling from head to toe, she pointed a finger and glowered at Millie. "If I had a daughter like you, I'd—"Smiling, Millie retorted, "Thankfully I'm not your daughter. Good thing that you don't have a daughter like me." She would rather jump off a building than have a mother like Harriet."You bitch!" Harriet exploded in anger.Logan quietly observed the two ladies. For some reason, he felt that Millie's resemblance to Harriet went beyond appearance. Even Millie's temper was similar to Harriet's. He gulped.Millie and Harriet marched away from each other in synch. Logan grabbed Harriet by her arm and asked, "Mom, don't you think Millie… resembles you?""What?" Harriet, who was already fuming, got even angrier when Logan made the suggestion. "Don't disgust me!"She di

    Millie was taken aback at the severity of the situation. Did they have to sedate Joanna?Hazel sighed. "Yes. Mr. Greer is waiting outside the room. He's very worried about her."On this topic, everyone agreed that things were unfair for Millie. She was better than Joanna in every aspect, yet she lost Winston to Joanna in the end.Millie bit her lips and deliberated. Finally, she stood up. "I'll take a look.""I think you shouldn't. What if Joanna wakes up and yells at you? A nurse told me that Joanna would spit out really horrible things when she lost her temper. Joanna once said that…" Hazel's voice trailed off.Confused, Millie wondered what came out of Joanna's mouth. Hazel scratched her head with a troubled expression.Smiling, Millie assured her, "Just tell me. It's fine." She had already braced herself for the nasty comments that Joanna made about her."Joanna said she wanted to kill you," Hazel revealed awkwardly.Millie smirked. She had seen this coming."So, Dr. Caldw

    When Millie struggled to come up with an answer, she and Hazel suddenly heard the sound of a vase crashing onto the floor. The loud scream of a woman sliced through the air.Winston immediately yanked the room door open and was greeted by a fruit knife sailing across the air. The knife landed by his feet.He entered the room and saw Joanna sitting on the bed with messy hair, her eyes red from crying. She appeared to be on the brink of a breakdown.Her crying intensified the moment she saw him. She was completely finished! Not only did Winston refuse to acknowledge her, but she also lost her career, which was once the source of her pride.What could she do?Winston frowned worriedly at Joanna's deteriorating health. If this went on, she would definitely suffer serious health problems.He picked up the stuff scattered across the floor, only for Joanna to continue throwing things around. He went on with the endless task and placed the items back on the bedside table until Joanna exh

    Millie thought, "Well, that's me again.""Who are her colleagues in the hospital?"She and Joanna were the only two female doctors in the Cardiac Surgery department. Naturally, she would be the only plausible suspect.She suggested, "Dr. Lloyd, I don't think you should do the detective work." If Sebastian kept going, he might eventually find her guilty.She ran into an issue, as every single clue pointed toward her. Resting her cheek on her palm, she sighed deeply. "I can't even sleep well over the weekends.""Do you want to take a few days off?" Sebastian cautiously inquired.Taken aback, she would never do that, as she might only appear guilty. Not only that, she wanted to show up confidently in front of everyone."Did you not write the anonymous letter?" Even Sebastian started to doubt her innocence.Feeling troubled, she flashed him a smile. "I'll check out the control room."Right then, they heard a knock on the door. The staff in charge of the investigation entered."Is

    After some serious thinking, Lainey shook her head. "No. I arrived at Dr. Lloyd's office with the materials when I got off work."Millie sank into a short silence. Feeling lost, she watched the video recording on her phone. "Oh well."If Lainey didn't drop the anonymous letter, how exactly did it show up in Sebastian's office?Suddenly, Yoel approached them with two medical records. He began, "Dr. Quinn, I'll take a day off tomorrow."Lainey glanced at him. He handed over a leave application form.She agreed, "Sure."Yoel shot a look at Millie and arched his eyebrow before leaving. Millie saw Yoel's handwriting on the leave application form. She commented, "Dr. Marshall has excellent handwriting.""Indeed. His handwriting is rather unique. You can tell it apart from the style of his strokes."Millie took a few more glances at Yoel's handwriting before going back to work.…Millie delivered some items to the emergency department. When she was about to leave, someone called to

    "I didn't expose your sister's qualifications. There is nothing to talk about." Millie refused to engage with any of the Lowells.Logan explained, "Ms. Caldwell, I come in peace."After some hesitation, she stood in front of his car and replied, "Let's talk right here."Logan considered it and agreed. "Millie, I know you don't need money, but here's two million dollars." He offered her the check without warning. She was shell-shocked. What was this for?"Please be nice to my sister in the future." He glanced at Millie.In other words, he was subtly hinting at Millie—the perceived culprit—to accept the hush money and put an end to the scandal.She guffawed. He had humiliated her by offering money."Did you think you could make me behave with two million dollars?" She lifted the check and shot him a look of disdain. "If I offer you two million dollars to stay out of my sight, how does that make you feel?""Millie, why are you so unreasonable? You need to take responsibility for

    Millie traveled to M Base right away as she needed to find out the culprit who exposed Joanna's fake qualifications. She couldn't stand the false accusations directed at her.When she arrived, Marvin was in the middle of checking the security footage. He checked every nook and cranny, but he didn't see anyone entering Sebastian's office.Millie's icy voice rang in the air. "Check the windows in the footage."He turned and found Millie standing behind her. "Boss, when did you arrive?""Just now," she said through gritted teeth.Marvin was too absorbed in watching the footage to notice her arrival. He grunted and quickly switched the scene. Then, he stole a cautious glance at Millie.She'd asked to look at the windows… Wait a minute. He smirked in disbelief. "Are we checking the windows at the hospital? Boss, we're talking about the 30th floor. Who'd be that crazy to climb through windows just to report Joanna? By the way, there's no way one could access the windows from the outs

    "Save the footage and send me the HD photo of that man!" Millie ordered.However, she soon changed her mind. She said through gritted teeth, "Don't send it to me. Just print it out. I need a few copies." Marvin quietly glanced at Millie. He somehow sensed that she had shown up after being unfairly accused, and she was now on her way to avenge herself. From the looks of it, she seemed to be taking revenge against more than one individual.Marvin worked fast. Millie, having gathered the items, rushed to the hospital. During that time, Marvin texted her nonstop.Marvin: "Boss, always keep a lookout. Stay calm."Marvin: "Boss, what I mean is… be nice. Give him a break. Don't overdo it…"Marvin: "Boss, how about I go with you?"He was worried that Millie would go overboard when she taught the culprit a lesson.…Millie ran into Winston when she arrived at the inpatient department. He was on his phone and about to leave.When he noticed Millie, he scrutinized her from head to toe.

    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
