This tragedy had triggered widespread concern among people on the Internet. Someone even stated, "I truly hope Madam Layla is fine. I've personally witnessed the project she's currently involved in, and it's outstanding. If it succeeds, she will undoubtedly be someone we all should look up to!""Even if it doesn't work, I still think she's amazing. If she can really bring a vegetative patient back to life, think about how many hopeless families she could save."As Millie read the comments, her sadness deepened. It was disheartening to see someone who genuinely cared about her country and had good intentions for everyone be overlooked by fate.Suddenly, tears stained her phone screen, and Millie realized that she was weeping. As she thought about the supplementary card Layla had given her before leaving, Millie burst into tears. At that moment, she was unable to hold back her emotions any longer.Even Layla probably didn't anticipate getting seriously injured so quickly while Mill
"Winston deserves it!" Julia said, scoffing.Terrence agreed with Julia but criticized her for speaking it out. "You don't need to say everything you feel."She pursed her lips and nodded in reluctant agreement.At that moment, Arthur started coughing. Julia quickly went toward him and asked, "Dad, are you okay?"Arthur had just recovered from his illness, so they planned to send him home. Staying there wasn't good for his health."Dad, you go back first. Terrence and I will take care of Mom." Julia assured Arthur, but he shook his head and coughed again. Julia's heart ached for him. Arthur and Layla had gone through thick and thin together. Even though Layla was usually serious, Arthur was okay with letting her be in charge."Don't make me leave. How can I leave with peace of mind if she's still unconscious?" Arthur held Layla's hand again.Julia had no choice but to give up. She knew he would feel unsettled if he returned home by himself. But since everyone was here to take
The nurses' voices gradually became quieter until they couldn't be heard anymore. Their words about Winson's injury played in Millie's mind. It suddenly clicked why his hands felt so hot when he went to see her and why he remained unconscious. His injury was far worse than Sean's.Sean definitely had a stronger physique. Just as Millie was about to ask Sean if he had arrived, she received a text message with a photo from him. Sean: "I've arrived safely. See you in a few days."Millie: "I'm sorry for standing you up."Sean: "Family is important. Hope your grandma is well."Millie: "Thank you, Mr. Stringer."Sean: "No worries."Millie looked at the photo of the stunning night view Sean had taken abroad. It was so beautiful and unlike anything she had seen in her home country. She wondered if she would ever have the chance to visit that place. However, she couldn't go for now because her family was going through a tough time. She didn't want to add to their stress.…In th
Upon spotting Millie, Joanna quickly turned to leave. Millie caught up and grabbed her. Then, she pulled her to the parking lot. "Millie Caldwell, let me go!" Joanna shouted.Millie stayed quiet but tightened her hold on Joanna, her face expressionless. Her nails dug into Joanna's skin, and Joanna winced in pain."Millie! If you don't stop, I'll call the police—"Millie slapped her, causing Joanna to crash into a car. She looked at Millie in shock."Go ahead," Millie said.She rolled up her sleeves and declared, "Today, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget. Joanna, when I reflect on your actions, I can't help but wonder why you are so cruel?"Joanna realized that Millie was aware of everything. She immediately lowered her head and dared not speak. Biting her lip, she covered her cheek with one hand.Millie stared at her, feeling disappointed. "Joanna, I know we haven't been close in recent years. But do you remember how we were friends back in university?"She couldn't fa
Joanna was shocked. She felt her feet leaving the ground. Millie was acting crazy, and Joanna wondered whether Millie truly intended to kill her."Millie, you can't kill me… It's against the law!" Joanna shouted.Millie narrowed her eyes. "Law? After everything you've done to me, how long will you be in jail?"Joanna remained silent, desperately gasping for air. "Millie… please… don't…""You not only pushed me into the sea, but you also falsely accused me and ruthlessly attacked me without showing any mercy." At that moment, Millie tightened her grip.Joanna tried to pull her hand away from her neck, but she wasn't strong enough. "Millie…"Millie smirked at her. "It's a shame you have to die first.""Millie… If my parents and Logan find out about this… they'll never let you go!" Joanna sobbed in distress.Numerous passersby observed the scene, but none had the courage to intervene. They merely glanced before hurrying off. Millie wasn't afraid of Joanna's threat at all.Joa
"Millie! What are you doing?" someone shouted.Millie turned her head and got pushed aside before she could see who was coming. She stumbled back and saw Logan helping Joanna up.Logan glared at Millie and then helped Joanna to her feet.Joanna immediately hugged him tightly and burst into tears. "Logan…"Logan hummed softly and tenderly comforted Joanna.Millie stood in silence, brushing off the non-existent dust on her body. She effortlessly resumed her indifferent expression and exuded an air of superiority."Joanna knows very well what I'm doing," Millie said, wiping her fingers. She felt incredibly dirty after touching Joanna.Logan sneered. "Millie, stop causing trouble toward my family. I'm not your family. I won't tolerate your behavior.""Mr. Lowell, I should be the one saying that to you. Both of you should stop causing trouble toward me!"Logan was stunned and furious."You'd better ask Joanna what she did!" Millie was certain that Joanna's family was unaware of Jo
"Winston Greer Suddenly Kneel After Divorce from Millie Caldwell: A Sign of Regret?"Millie discovered that all the posts she came across were published by those paid media accounts, suggesting a premeditated smear campaign. It did have a negative impact on Winston's reputation, but it wasn't really intentional."Boss, to be completely honest, I didn't expect that scumbag would actually kneel," Marvin said, glancing at her.Millie pursed her lips as she flicked through a series of photos, most of which captured Winston kneeling at the airport. In one of the pictures, she caught a glimpse of herself, her expression icy and distant. Her eyes bore into Winston as though he were a mere stranger. She didn't even want to show any hatred toward him. It seemed like Winston had been completely abandoned by her.She silently turned off her phone and gazed out the window."I took my car for repairs yesterday and spotted Mr. Greer's car," Marvin said.Since Millie remained silent, he conti
"Why is Millie so cruel? How could she hurt you like that?"Harriet was worried as she watched Logan tend to Joanna's wounds at Lowell Manor. Joanna's injury deeply pained her.Logan's expression remained stoic and grave.Joanna gazed at Logan, too afraid to say anything. Logan had been quiet since they arrived home, and even while treating her wounds, he seemed distant. She wondered if he knew she had stolen the credit for Millie's heroic action. "How did the Caldwell family raise Millie?" Harriet was furious at the mere thought of it.Logan calmly set aside the first-aid box and suggested, "We should ask Joanna what she did first."He shielded Joanna from Millie to preserve her dignity and protect her reputation. If she really made a mistake, they would educate her at home instead of in front of others.Joanna felt nervous after hearing his words. "Logan, I…""What did you do?" Logan couldn't comprehend the reason behind Millie's ruthless behavior toward Joanna. Numerous scr
Soon, it was New Year's Eve. Yerwick City didn't have a ban on fireworks, so the neighborhood had been lively since early in the day.Arthur wanted to hang some lights to bring more festive spirit into the house. However, when he looked at the high places where he needed to hang them, he felt like he just couldn't manage it.Just as Thomas and Everly arrived outside the door, he called out to them, "Hurry and hang up these lights.""Oh dear, be careful not to fall at this age." Thomas quickly took the string of lights from Arthur's hands.Arthur replied, "I was just waiting for you all!"Everly joked, "Grandpa, are you upset that we arrived late?""Hmph! You weren't early enough. Millie hasn't even shown up yet!"But as soon as he finished speaking, Millie walked in holding some things. "Grandpa, I heard you talking about me from far away, and I've sneezed several times because of it," she said with a slight smile, her voice bright and cheerful.The group turned their attention
At that moment, a cold snort came from the staircase.Arthur looked up. Wasn't that Layla standing there?Layla walked downstairs, her tone sounding incredulous as she said, "Is this guy really willing to go to such lengths to get what he wants? He even had the nerve to say something like that?""When pursuing someone you like, there's nothing you wouldn't do, no matter how embarrassing. Back when I was trying to win you over, didn't I wait for you outside your house every day?" The thought brought Arthur a sense of sorrow.The Cadmores were a medical family, and Arthur was a businessman. Even though he also made a fortune in the medical field, the Cadmore family wasn't willing for the two of them to be together. They just wanted Layla to marry someone who was also studying medicine.Believe it or not, back then, there really was another medical student as her suitor. The Cadmore family liked them, and outsiders also thought they were a good match.In the end, the persistent suit
The car was parked in front of the Caldwell residence. Eli took out the items and silently handed them to Winston. He wanted to see if Winston could help escort the two elderly people to the door."No need to accompany me any further. Let's leave it here," Layla insisted, maintaining her refusal.She always maintained a sense of propriety, even in how she addressed Winston.Winston found Layla harder to impress than Millie."Grandma, let me help you take it inside. It's not far. I'll just go in and come right out. I won't stay long," Winston said with a smile.Layla was about to speak. Arthur nudged her arm, suggesting she let it go, as she had been bothered enough already.Layla remained silent for a moment before nodding.Winston was given permission, and he immediately followed the two elderly people into the Caldwell residence with the items.Eli sighed and couldn't help but take a video of Winston, feeling really humbled.It was really hard to believe this was Winston.W
"The shop shutting down for rectifications is necessary. If she keeps up this attitude, there's no point in having the store here. You all should remove her from this place," Layla said, intending to rid Clara of a job.When Clara heard it, her face turned pale. However, she didn't dare to speak at the moment, fearing that the more she said, the more mistakes she might make.These people all seemed to be important figures!"Alright!" Bernard clapped his hands and agreed, "Professor Cadmore, we agree. If she doesn't give the proper compensation, we will definitely fire her!"Arthur supported Layla and gently patted her back, gesturing for her to calm down and not be upset anymore.Layla had finally started to calm down a bit. She had actually become much more mellow with her temper. In the past, whether in the lab or outside, she was always decisive and assertive.This was also why Arthur had been obedient all these years. He would always go along with her."Hurry up, apologize t
Bernard gave Clara a strong push. She fell to the ground, crying out in anger, "What's the meaning of this!"Bernard approached Winston with his hands tightly clasped and bowed respectfully as he exclaimed, "Mr. Greer!"Winston raised his hand, signaling for him to get up.Clara sat on the ground, feeling completely dumbfounded. Why was Bernard treating him with such respect? Who was this person? What was his background?Winston, with a cold expression, adjusted his sleeve and looked indifferently at Clara on the ground.Bernard said, "Mr. Greer, you should have told us you were coming! I would have had someone prepared to welcome you long ago. I'm really sorry for any inconvenience you experienced. Please accept my apologies!""What's wrong with her? Is she unwell?" Winston asked, pointing to Clara on the ground.Bernard quickly said, "She…""No matter what's up with her, disrespecting customers is a big mistake. I am demanding that her shop undergo rectifications before reope
Winston raised an eyebrow and stepped forward.Clara felt a sudden shudder in her heart and instinctively took a step back.Winston scoffed. What was she backing away for? Was she scared?She was simply someone who bullied the weak but was afraid of the strong. What capabilities did she even have by picking on elderly people?Winston's gaze was steady, and his expression became increasingly cold and harsh.The woman frowned and stayed silent.Winston, speaking calmly and without any agitation, said, "If you don't want to escalate the situation, apologize now. If you're unwilling, then we'll have to get the police to handle it."To begin with, he was never a patient person. The reason he was speaking so nicely was to make a good impression in front of Layla and Arthur.In the past, whenever he encountered such a situation, he wouldn't even pay it any attention and would simply have Eli take them to the police station.Whenever someone made a mistake, it was important to address
Layla said, "Even though it's soon New Year's and everyone is busy, try to be a bit more gentle! We're all elderly people here, so what's wrong with being patient?"Since you're in the service industry, you should maintain a proper attitude. If you can't even speak politely, then you shouldn't be in this line of work. I suggest you close up shop for good!"Winston squinted. That voice sounded very familiar. It seemed like Layla's voice.He quickly walked over and saw that Arthur was helping an elderly gentleman up while Layla was engaged in a debate with a young female shopkeeper."How I run my store is my business. If you want to buy something, go ahead. If not, just leave. I don't need you to tell me how to run my life!" The store owner glared at Layla while speaking with a very unfriendly tone, their voice sharp and cutting.Layla was exasperated and asked, "Don't you understand the saying that the customer is king?""What about the damn king? Just go away," the lady grumbled,
Layla said, "Look, you're really persistent, aren't you? I don't like you. Do you need me to spell it out for you?""Grandma, I want to pursue Mills. Since I want to be with Mills, I need to have everyone's approval. Right now, I'm trying hard to make everyone like me. It's part of the process that you might dislike me at first, but I can't just give up because of that. How else would I pursue Mills?" Winston said clearly.As expected of a businessman, his negotiation style was very serious and precise. Despite his gentle tone, there was still a strong sense of pressure in his eyes and demeanor.Layla moved her lips slightly. She didn't know how to get Winston to leave, so she shouted, "I don't care! Just stop bothering us here!"Winston furrowed his brows.Layla then asked Arthur to pull the cart himself.Ding! Winston's phone rang out.Arthur took the cart and quickly left with Layla.Winston stood still, watching the couple walk away, and couldn't help but sigh. The call on
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Winston finally had a moment to ask how he was doing.Arthur nodded. His demeanor toward Winston seemed a bit more gentle than before.Layla sighed. "There's too many people. Let's all slow down a bit.""Okay," Arthur said with a smile. "Don't worry, I'm fine.""You're getting older, and a fall could be life-threatening," Layla said anxiously, holding onto Arthur's arm tightly. "Hold onto me, alright?""If I hold onto you, I'll end up pulling you down as well if I fall!" Arthur grumbled.Layla said, "I don't care. Just hold onto me.""Okay, I'll hold on to you," Arthur relented.Winston was quietly following them from behind and couldn't help but smile himself. This was pretty nice.Who wouldn't envy a relationship that stayed this loving and affectionate all the way until old age?"Should we buy some candy?" Layla said, pointing at the candy in front of them.Arthur said, "Okay."Whatever she wanted, he would agree. The two of them acted both harmo
