The distance between Millie and Winston was far too great. Even if he tried to swim over, he would be too exhausted to make it. This was the sea, after all."Winston," Millie called out softly. Even in the tumultuous sea, he heard her clearly. Millie's eyes grew red as she struggled to stay afloat. "I don't regret saving you once," she murmured. "But I can't bring myself to put my life in your hands now."She had escaped death three years ago. Was she really going to meet her end here?Winston heard Millie's words, but they were muffled and hard to understand. The sound of the waves crashing was deafening. The sea had been so calm when they set sail, yet now it felt overwhelming and chaotic. "Win, my leg is cramping. It hurts so much." Joanna suddenly struggled. By that point, Winston no longer had the strength to swim toward Millie. The deck was in a state of panic, with people frantically scrambling. "Someone, save them!""Hurry up!""Where's the rescue team?"Inside

The wind swept across the deck, carrying a sense of desolation.After Millie spat out several mouthfuls of seawater, she opened her eyes to find a crowd of unfamiliar faces. Some stared at her with worry, while others looked on with interest. She turned her head slightly and saw Sean kneeling on one knee, his brow furrowed, water dripping from his hair. When she looked up, she met Marvin's gaze. He was both anxious and excited. "Boss! Boss, are you alright?"Sean lifted his head upon hearing that. Millie coughed and instinctively reached out to grab Marvin's shirt. With bloodshot eyes, he snapped, "And you kept insisting I didn't need to come along!"If he hadn't been so determined to follow her, did it mean he would never see her again? Millie was such a good boss and the backbone of M Base. What would they do without her?"Now look what happened to you!" Marvin kept scolding her. Beside them, Sean was stunned. He couldn't help but wonder about the relationship between Mil

"Mom, everything's fine now, isn't it?" Millie didn't want to dwell on it any longer.Julia embraced her daughter, sobbing uncontrollably. Right then, there was a knock at the door. "Mills, Julia," a woman called out.That voice… Julia released Millie, and they both looked up. It was Brian and Gloria. "What are you doing here?" Julia questioned, her reluctance evident. She quickly wiped away her tears and stepped aside as Millie tugged at the corner of her mother's shirt.Seeing their tear-stained faces, Gloria felt a pang of guilt. "We only found out from the news that Millie was at the cruise party last night. She…" Gloria's gaze lingered on Millie, her regret deepening. She didn't know how to bring up the scene where Winston saved Joanna. It was truly heart-wrenching. After all, Millie and Winston had known each other for so many years. Even if there wasn't any romantic affection between them, shouldn't seven years have been enough for him to choose to save Millie first

Millie lifted her head and stared at Terrence's back. A father's love was often silent and unspoken. It was said that mountains were too great to overcome and some people were beyond reach. Yet, in her life, Terrence was both the mountain she could scale and the person she could catch up to. That was because he would stoop to lift Millie over hurdles and unconditionally keep pace with her. Despite that, he would eventually fall behind, unable to keep up with his beloved daughter. Julia frowned when she heard what Terrence said. It was obvious he hadn't talked to her about it."If being abroad gives you a sense of freedom, then by all means, do it. It's better than you ending up in the hospital all the time here."As Terrence spoke, he turned and fixed his intense gaze on Millie, conveying his seriousness. However, her heart ached with a profound sense of remorse. Over the years, she had been her father's source of sorrow. She watched helplessly as he grew older, while she ret

Millie glanced at the nurse outside the door and frowned. Was this typical of the Stringers? Maybe it was. Why else would Sean have been abroad for so many years?Millie approached the bedside and tucked the blanket around Sean. He was still on an IV drip, and his heart rate appeared stable. She thought about checking the wound on his stomach. However, with no one else around, she felt lifting his blanket and shirt was inappropriate.After thinking it over, Millie dismissed the idea. Instead, she sent a text to Marvin. Millie: "Please bring some anti-inflammatory cream when you come to the hospital."Marvin: "Okay."Millie pouted at Marvin's reply and asked, "You rascal, why are you so cold to me?"But Marvin didn't respond. Displeased, Millie sent another message, "So now you're ignoring me, huh?"She was well aware that Marvin was upset. Suddenly, Sean coughed, causing Millie to look up and see him staring at her."You're awake!" Millie immediately placed the back of her

Seeing the shock on Sean's face, Millie couldn't help but chuckle. She picked up an apple from the bedside table, grabbed a fruit knife, and asked, "Why are you so surprised?"Was it really so hard to believe that she was the one who saved Winston? Or was Sean having difficulty accepting that she could do something so remarkable?Sean gulped, staring intently at Milie. The astonishment in his eyes slowly transformed into something more complex and serious."Millie…"With a hum of acknowledgment, Millie gazed up at Sean. Her calm tone reflected a peace that came from years of living.Sean clenched his jaw, and Millie offered him a small slice of apple. "Do you know why Winston is set on marrying Joanna?" Sean's voice was steady but laced with a hint of helplessness. Millie looked at him with a hint of amusement. She then cut herself a small slice of apple and replied, "What other reason could there be? If a man insists on marrying a woman, it has to be because he loves her.""

And now, the mere sight of Joanna made Sean feel sick. The audacity she had to take credit for Millie's heroic act! Did she really think she could get away with it forever?Sean couldn't help but think Millie was a fool. Why hadn't she told Winston that she was the one who saved him?"Mills, would you mind stepping out for a bit? I need to discuss something with Mr. Stringer," Joanna said with a gentle smile. Millie shrugged. She wasn't keen on staying where Joanna was anyway. "In that case, I'll—" Millie was just about to leave when Sean's icy voice cut in. "If you have something to say, just spit it out. Why should my friend leave? "Millie, this is my ward. Stay as long as you want. Unless, of course, she's planning to say something she doesn't want anyone else to know about."Sean's words were sharp and direct. Joanna was somewhat bewildered. Where did all this fury come from? Millie, on the other hand, was even more astonished. She could hardly believe it. After all

"I'm perfectly aware of Win's feelings for me. My relationship with him is none of your business!"As Joanna spoke, she moved closer and carefully tucked the blanket around Sean. Her gaze was cold and threatening as she added, "Sean, just keep to yourself and don't interfere with my affairs. If you insist on meddling, then let's see what happens."With that, Joanna retracted her hand and shot Sean an intense look before striding out of the room.As Sean stared at her retreating figure, his fists clenched tightly. How dare she threaten him? Did she even have the right?A cold smirk spread across his face, his gaze filled with menace. If Joanna wanted to confront him, he'd be more than ready to face it. …The moment Joanna emerged from the ward, she glanced down the empty corridor and tried to hide her shaking hands. Now that Sean knew the truth, what was she supposed to do? He didn't seem like the type to be easily threatened. Was her secret about to be exposed? Joanna admitt

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
She's Out of Your League Now Chapter 1026
"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
