Chapter 501

Author: Gina Cinq
"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

    It was no surprise that Winston, who woke up two days ago, suddenly developed a high fever and slipped back into a coma. It was because he went out in the rain to look for Millie.Logan glanced at Joanna's room and let out a sigh. He knocked on the door and said seriously, "Jo, I understand your feelings for Winston. But if he doesn't like you back, keeping him won't make you truly happy."Both of them fell silent. Logan looked conflicted. "I mean… why not…"He wanted to advise her to stop loving Winston. She had many options as the heiress of the Lowell family. It didn't have to be Winston, especially considering he was divorced."I only want to be with Winston. I don't want anyone else but him!" she shouted hoarsely behind the door.Logan sighed heavily. "But I don't think Winston likes you at all. It seems like your affection is unrequited. Just read the news and see for yourself!"After that, Logan left.Joanna couldn't hold back her tears as she lay on the bed. After hearin

    Gloria and Brian instantly turned toward him and saw Winston looking at them weakly.She had never seen Winston look so haggard. Since he had taken over the leadership of Greer Group, he couldn't afford to appear this way. The company couldn't function without a strong leader, and he couldn't risk losing his authority and dignity in front of others. Perhaps he had been too comfortable for the past 20 years. Now was the true beginning of Winston's life. It was time for him to face adversity. As a mother, Gloria felt powerless to help him, just as she was unable to prevent him from divorcing Millie."How are you feeling?" Gloria asked, offering him a glass of water.Winston shook his head slightly.Despite feeling sorry for him, Gloria still reprimanded him, "Serves you right!"Winston had brought this upon himself."Millie was so kind. But you weren't interested in her and instead chose to pursue Joanna. Your grandmother, your dad, and I have a wealth of life experience. Will

    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
