Chapter 298

Author: Gina Cinq
Joanna's cheeks flushed when Millie put her in her place. She always thought it was Millie who exposed her.

She even planned for the worst-case scenario, in which she would drag Millie down with her.

Therefore, she was shocked to learn that Yoel was the culprit who exposed her secret. She asked Millie, "And how did Yoel Marshall learn about it?"

"How the fuck would I know? You love running your mouth when you're out and about. Am I supposed to clean up your mess?" Millie bellowed at Joanna, causing her to jump in shock.

"Winston Greer, do not turn me into a scapegoat. I'm not some despicable villain." After that, Millie tossed the envelope into Winston's arms.

She waved at Joanna and Winston, who were both scowling. "Best wishes for your marriage."

With that, she marched out of Joanna's room feeling cathartic, but what happened was just the beginning.

She didn't bring the evidence to Sebastian immediately as she knew Winston would certainly force Sebastian to take action again

    "You—" Millie cut him off with a sweet and gentle smile. "Please excuse me, Mr. Lowell. I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine."If Logan humiliated her by offering two million dollars, she would certainly retaliate in the same manner.Logan snorted. "You're something, Ms. Caldwell."She sneered. "Take the offer, Mr. Lowell. It's my act of charity."Logan stared at the check on the table with mixed feelings. For the first time, he knew how it felt to be humiliated with money. He reflected on his actions, thinking that he and Harriet had been rash.He rose from his seat. "Millie, I'll apologize to you."She stood up as well. "It's fine." Tucking a 20-dollar bill under the coffee cup, she looked at him with poise. "Consider the coffee my treat."Mr. Lowell, I have nothing to do with Joanna's incident. Don't ever accuse me baselessly."After that, she left without hesitation. She refused to accept his apology, as an apology was meaningless. She wanted him to carry th

    Yoel teared up when his career was on the brink. Placing his palms together, he pleaded to Sebastian and Winston between sobs. "Dr. Lloyd, it was all my fault!"I didn't think it through. D-Don't do this to me. What will I do if I'm blacklisted in the profession?" He couldn't accept being blacklisted in the medical profession, not after the effort he put into studying hard and graduating from medical school. That would be a death blow to him.Millie's gaze was devoid of sympathy, as Yoel had always looked down on people like her. She believed he was reaping what he sowed.If he couldn't extend fairness to his colleagues, how would he treat his vulnerable patients? The mere thought sent a shudder down her spine.It finally struck her the reason behind Yoel's enthusiasm when he picked up his patient from the emergency department, as the patient worked for a military general. It appeared that Yoel wanted to forge connections and expand his network.How despicable!Sebastian glared

    All eyes were on Millie, anticipating her confirmation. Winston had never looked at her with such intensity before.She speechlessly stared at everyone in the office, thinking, "Should I admit that I'm not a loser? That I indeed gave up my place in medical school to Joanna?""Say something. Why are you hesitating after what Joanna did to you?" Yoel glared at Millie fiercely. "Don't be a doormat. Joanna won't appreciate it anyway!"He continued pressuring her. "She took your place in medical school, took your man, and picked on you! Millie Caldwell, are you going to tolerate all of that?" Winston stared straight at Millie as he clenched his fist. He was waiting for a "yes"."Millie, tell us anything. Don't be scared," Sebastian calmly assured her and expressed their trust in her.She turned to Winston with a smile. She asked, "If I tell the truth, will you blame me for hurting your first love?"He was stumped. Millie looked at him with a serious expression. Finally, she admitte

    Millie shot Yoel a confused frown. As he spoke, tears started flowing down his cheeks. He regarded his wealthy peers with contempt. After years of working hard to graduate from medical school, he was finally hired by Bifrost Hospital, unlike the rich kids who relied on their families to get hired.And that wasn't even the worst part. Joanna was his mentee when she first joined the hospital, but he wasn't allowed to criticize her. Not only that, she'd give him an attitude every day.Half a year passed, and Joanna picked up nothing. When his superiors did a routine inspection, they criticized him for not being a good mentor. But what could he do about it?He shook his head, thinking that this life wasn't worth living at all. "Dr. Marshall," Millie called out to him earnestly when he was about to leave. Yoel came to a halt. Sighing, he slowly took off his doctor's coat. Underneath the coat was an ordinary white tee. She watched him tidying his hair and clutching his employee ID

  • She's Out of Your League Now   Chapter 303

    Millie's heart sank. She hurried over to the windows and glanced down. Yoel's blood dyed his white shirt red. Even at his death, he clutched his employee ID tightly.She suddenly understood why he had taken off his white coat. He didn't want his doctor's coat stained, as it symbolized his noble career. No one could tarnish it, including himself.She gulped and slowly clenched her fist before leaving the office. Winston hurried after her with a concerned frown.When she arrived on the first floor, the security had put up tapes to keep people away. The doctors from the emergency department showed up to help, but they shook their heads at each other when they realized Yoel was gone.Soon, someone draped a white cloth on Yoel's body.Millie, who witnessed the scene unfold, stumbled backward. She then sensed someone holding her waist. She turned and met Winston's eyes. Then, she quickly looked away and stepped aside to put a distance between them."Is that Dr. Marshall?""Goodness

    Millie then signed the Acknowledgement of Risk Form.After she registered for the race, a man in a cap showed up. Standing at six feet tall, he looked cool in a black athletic outfit.He registered himself as "Shaun".The person in charge informed them, "Alright. Wait for the next round to start."Shaun stood beside Millie as she warmed up. She stole a few more glances at him. His head hung low, hiding most of his face under his cap.She noticed his tall, straight nose and sexy lips. She didn't need to see his eyes to know he was hot.When he looked up, Millie was already doing downward stretches. That was how they missed each other's glance.…Soon, it was time for the race. Millie rented a green racecar. There were four racers in this round.The track at Ambrose Street was as tough as Python Mountain's, a test for the experience and technique of the racers.The racers who completed the last round mumbled, "Wow. There's a woman.""It's been a while since I saw a female race

  • She's Out of Your League Now   Chapter 305

    The two cars raced down Ambrose Street, overtaking each other occasionally. It was a very tight race.Millie had indeed shown up in anger. Hence, she drove with a ferocity. However, her techniques were a little rusty compared to years ago.The presence of the blue car excited her. This was a much more intriguing race than the one at Python Mountain, thanks to her formidable rival.The blue car once again caught up with Millie's car. According to the GPS, they would reach the finish line after the next corner.Pursing her lips, she gripped her steering wheel and shot a serious look at her rival's car. Shaun stared at her simultaneously. She peered into his dark eyes.In the next moment, he sped up to overtake her car. Eyes glimmering, she accelerated as well.The race reached a climax as the racers reached the finish line. The two cars dashed through the line almost at the same time amidst the applause of onlookers."Who won?""Damn it! They crossed the line at the same time, it

    Millie's eyebrows shot up in amusement. "I'm free."Surprised at her quick agreement, Simon said, "Cool. I'll pick you up when you're done with work.""Okay," she replied before hanging up.…It was a bright, sunny day. Upon arriving at the cardiac surgery department, she ran into Hazel. Hazel informed her, "Dr. Caldwell, Dr. Quinn wants you at the meeting room when you're here.""Alrighty." Millie nodded and put on her doctor's coat before heading to the meeting room.She casually tied her hair up with a hair claw. Putting her hands in her pockets, she waltzed down the corridor, attracting everyone's attention. There was something different about her that day."I heard Dr. Caldwell isn't a loser. Have you heard about that?""Of course she isn't. Don't you know what she's capable of after all the time she spent in cardiac surgery?""Yeah. Didn't she save a patient who coded last time?""Gosh, she can't be an actual loser since she comes from a medical family. Alright now. Let

    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
