Chapter 478

Author: Gina Cinq
It was a cruel twist of fate. Joanna had ruined the lives of everyone involved.

"Who told you that?" Millie asked.

Eli pursed his lips and answered, "Sonny Alpers. The man who kidnapped Mr. Greer."

Millie frowned in response. Sonny? The name seemed to ring a bell.

"You might find the name familiar. He's the one I've visited a few times before," Eli explained.

Millie suddenly remembered. The person Yoel had swiftly escorted out from the emergency department was Sonny. And the last time Eli visited a patient at the hospital, it was also Sonny!

It turned out she had crossed paths with the kidnapper countless times without realizing it.

"So, Ms. Caldwell, you were the one who saved Mr. Greer, weren't you?" Eli inquired.

Millie, now puzzled, countered, "Who else could it have been?"

"Why haven't you mentioned it at all over the past three years?"

Millie calmly replied, "I thought he knew."

Eli's smile was tinged with resignation. How could Winston have known if she hadn't told

    It was 3:00 pm, and the Caldwell Villa was filled with enticing aromas. The dining table was filled with a spread of delicious dishes.Both Layla and Arthur watched as Millie cooked diligently in the kitchen. Arthur then asked Terrence, "What's going on with Millie?"He couldn't figure out why Millie had suddenly put together a grand spread for the family."Millie… Well, she'll explain herself shortly. I just hope you're both prepared for what she's about to say," Terrence answered. He was already aware of Millie's plans.After hearing Terrence's reply, Layla felt unsettled. "What is she up to now? First, she quit the job I arranged for her, and now, she's been wandering around, even hurting herself. Why can't she—"But before Layla could voice her frustration further, she fell silent as Millie appeared with the dishes. She stared at her granddaughter.Millie clapped her hands and announced with a grin, "Alright, now that the last dish is served, we're ready to eat!"She had pre

    Now that Millie was interested in taking over the company, Terrence was thrilled. Meanwhile, Julia firmly believed that one day, her daughter would follow in her footsteps and become a designer."So, when are you leaving?" Layla asked.Millie glanced at the time and replied, "My flight is at eight tonight, and I'll head to the airport at 5:00 pm.""That soon?" Layla was taken aback. Millie nodded. "I want to get settled in for a few days before classes begin and meet with the professors. Since I've made up my mind, there's no reason to drag this out."Layla didn't respond. Millie could tell her grandmother's thoughts were somewhere else. Layla was reluctant to let her go regardless of what she chose to study. After all, her family were the ones who loved her most in the world.Right then, Arthur, who had remained quiet so far, let out a sigh. "Just go then."His words drew a scoff from Layla. "Are you going to cover the cost of her studying abroad? That's a lot of money!""Yes

    "Eli, you… Is everything at the company taken care of?" Joanna asked gently with a smile, her hands clasped behind her back.However, Eli didn't even spare her a glance. Instead, he approached the bed and greeted Winston respectfully, "Mr. Greer." Winston hummed in acknowledgment. Joanna, on the other hand, furrowed her brow, visibly nervous. Why had Eli shown up now, of all times? He even locked the door. Was he about to reveal everything? What should she do if he told Winston the truth? Out of the corner of his eye, Winston noticed Joanna's growing unease. She had been acting strangely ever since Eli had entered the ward. Joanna bit her lip. If she were to confess to Winston now, would their years of friendship be enough to earn his forgiveness? The thought of it left her feeling deeply unsettled."Mr. Greer, I have something to report." Eli's tone was serious as he met Winston's gaze.Winston took a sip of water and gestured for him to proceed. He couldn't help but feel g

    Eli knew that Joanna was completely flustered. She had audaciously tried to curry favor with him in front of Winston. She had truly lost her mind! Eli forcefully shoved Joanna aside, while Winston watched on helplessly. "Eli!" he called out, his voice tinged with reproach as he chided Eli for being too rough. In an instant, Joanna burst into tears and cried, "Win—"But before she could say more, Eli interrupted sharply, "Mr. Greer, Ms. Lowell has been lying to you.""I didn't!" Joanna quickly protested.Winston stared at her, his heart sinking. What could she have deceived him about?"Win, it's not true, I swear! I love you. Everything I've done is because of my love for you!" Joanna grabbed Winston's arm and pleaded, "Believe me, please."Winston was baffled. What were they talking about? Why was Joanna so worked up? He then held her hand and turned to Eli for answers.Feeling Winston's hand in hers, Joanna was overwhelmed by a mix of sadness and fear. She cherished how

    "I love you so much. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't be doing these foolish things!" Joanna moved closer to the bed. Her arm was scratched by the broken glass, and blood was slowly staining her sleeves.She couldn't hold on to Winston's arm, so she grasped the bedsheet firmly. With anguish in her voice, she exclaimed, "I'm the heiress of the Lowell family. If it weren't for my love for you, why would I choose to suffer in silence by your side?""Suffer in silence? Are you saying that you feel wronged?" Winston glared at her, his eyes full of doubt.Joanna bit her lower lip and couldn't help but sob. "Shouldn't I feel wronged?"Upon hearing this, Eli sneered. "Ms. Lowell, are you going to reveal to Mr. Greer the identity of the person who saved him, or should I do the honors?"Joanna trembled and glared at Eli. She wondered why he was doing this. Despite the chaos, he still wanted to cause her more trouble.Winston's chest was rising and falling heavily, his hands tightly clenche

    Millie had always been deeply in love with him.Winston couldn't help but burst out laughing bitterly. He had labeled so many people as foolish, including Millie. Yet, he never anticipated that the true fool at the end of it all was himself. He was the real idiot. Joanna's deceit in the name of love almost destroyed him.Suddenly, Winston burst out laughing. As his gaze returned to Joanna, his eyes gleamed with a chilling intent, their redness intensifying. "Joanna!"Joanna shook her head, and in the next instant, Winston grabbed her by the throat."There's nothing that can make up for your wrongdoing," he said in a low, menacing voice. Then he violently threw her to the floor on the broken glass. This time, nobody sympathized with her. Winston used to pretend to be concerned, but not anymore.As Winston gazed upon Joanna's back, his mind swiftly flashed back to the sight of Millie's striking scar. He had asked Millie many times about how she got the scar. Yet, she nonchalan

    Joanna refused to give up. She rushed toward Winston, and when he was about to open the door, she closed it firmly. She shook her head and cried loudly."Don't you feel sorry for me at all, Winston? I've been with you for so many years. If I didn't do this, you'd never see my good side." Joanna's tears were filled with despair.Winston no longer felt affected by her emotions. He couldn't empathize with Joanna despite her having loved him for many years. He believed that she was the reason his life was a mess. He saw her love as selfish and unreasonable. He doubted if he needed that kind of love and believed she was just trying to make herself look good."I tried to save you as well, but I was too slow," she said, tears streaming down her face. She yearned to surpass Millie but always found herself trailing behind when it came to Winston.Back then, there was a rumor in the School of Medicine that Winston and Millie were meant to be together forever. Joanna was upset about it unti

    The rain hit the car window relentlessly, intensifying Winston's irritation."Where is she? Hurry!" Winston's voice was slightly muffled, with a hint of hoarseness.Eli turned around and replied with concern, "Ms. Caldwell is currently at the airport.""Airport?" Winston was surprised.Eli glanced at the time, realizing the plane would depart in just an hour. They might not be able to catch up. "Mr. Greer, Ms. Caldwell is devastated. She's leaving to study abroad."He went to the ward intending to take Winston to see Millie directly. Upon discovering Joanna there, he seized the opportunity to disclose the truth, resulting in a slight delay.Winston felt increasingly anxious after hearing it. Recognizing the urgency, he quickly opened the car door and hurried out."Mr. Greer?" Eli frowned and stepped out of the car too.The rain poured down, its relentless drops beating against Winston as he made his way around the front of the car. Then, he pushed Eli aside to get in.Eli was

    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
