Chapter 745

Author: Gina Cinq
Millie saw Damien out and waved goodbye to him at the hospital entrance. Feeling overjoyed, he gave her a hug before leaving.

After Damien left, Millie spotted Winston smoking near his car some distance away. He looked at her out of the corner of his eyes. Smoke billowed. He lowered his head and gently tapped away the ashes with his fingertips.

He seemed less tired than before, looking spirited in a black coat and black suit.

Millie turned around and saw Gloria leaving the hospital. It then occurred to her that Winston was there to pick Gloria up.

Gloria smiled when she saw Millie. "Mills!"

"Hi, Mrs. Greer. Have you settled the hospital transfer?" asked Millie.

Nodding, Gloria pointed at Winston and replied, "Win is here to pick me up. We're heading off to the private hospital."

"Sounds good. Mrs. Greer, call me if you need anything." Millie huddled under her coat. She wore many layers in the frigid winter yet still looked frail and petite.

She came across as rather fragile fr

    Millie chuckled. "What business are you up to? Does it have to do with killing Mrs. Greer Senior?"The man went down a step on the stairs. Fearless, Millie taunted him, "Murder is not a legal business, you know."The man stopped dead in her tracks. "I have nothing against you. Please don't force my hand.""Didn't you purposely bump me in the shoulders so I'd follow you?" She tilted her head quizzically.She thought, "What's he doing, acting so mysterious? Dude must have watched too many movies and shows."She didn't beat around the bush. "Did you come here on Joanna Lowell's orders?"Since Millie didn't have a clear view of his face, she could not see the shock that flashed across his face when she threw out the guess."What makes you think so?" he questioned."Joanna Lowell is a psycho. She will destroy Winston Greer if she can't have him, but she's known to be cold-blooded. She will not ruin him just yet—she will start from the people around him! She can't swallow her pride a

    The look in Millie's eyes deepened. She took the chance to grab Jeremy's dagger when he was talking to her.The dagger dropped onto the floor with a clink. Just as Jeremy attempted a necklock on Millie while bending over to pick up the dagger, she kicked him away.She pinned him by the arm, and he responded by choking her harder. He hissed through gritted teeth, "Millie Caldwell!"Millie's face paled, and her fingertips clutching his hands grew purplish in color."Stay. Out. Of. My. Business!" Jeremy clenched his jaw, a streak of madness in his eyes. He looked like he could kill.He continued, "Some things are not worth your time. Do you think it's worth spending seven years on Winston Greer?" His eyes glinted with viciousness as he increased his grip around her neck. She felt horrible and suffocated as she gasped for breath.Clenching her teeth, she mustered all her energy and yelled at him, "Jeremy Smith, let go of me! The Caldwells will give you hell if you kill me!"He guf

    As Jeremy lay in his pool of blood, he overheard Millie urging someone else in a worried tone. She implored, "Get a doctor! Quick! Someone's hurt in the fire exit!"Her voice couldn't be heard anymore after that. Jeremy couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it.At the same time, Millie arrived at the restroom and placed a "Cleaning In Progress" sign at the entrance. There, she washed away the blood on her hands. She took off her blood-stained shirt, turned it inside out, and put it back on. She wouldn't want anyone to see the blood stains.Her phone chimed from a text notification. Marvin: "Boss, the Lowells got Joanna a new job. Looks like she's starting over."Millie narrowed her eyes at the text. Starting over? Did Joanna truly believe she could dismiss all her past wrongs and start anew?Joanna was so cruel to even think of killing Winston's grandma, an old lady in her 70s with not many years left to live. She should have gone for Winston if she held any grudges agains

    Millie's phone suddenly rang from an unknown number in Yerwick. She answered the call, and before she could speak, the caller barked at her, "Millie Caldwell, how could you hurt Jeremy?"Millie raised her gaze. Marvin looked in her direction. That was Joanna's voice, alright. He couldn't believe she had the audacity to call Millie."You should first ask Jeremy what he tried to pull off," Millie replied in an icy tone.Joanna gritted her teeth. "No matter what he did, you shouldn't have done that to him!""You're quite protective of him. Do you feel bad for him?" Millie jeered.Joanna couldn't come up with a reply.Millie continued, "Well, I'm not surprised that you feel bad for your lapdog."She recalled Joanna repeatedly insulted Eli in his face, calling him Winston's loyal lapdog. Eli, always good-natured, did not retort when Joanna insulted him. Anyone else would have slapped her in the face.Eli worked for Winston, not Joanna. Hence, she had no right to criticize him."Joa

    "First of all, keep an eye on Mrs. Greer Senior. She has been transferred to a private hospital. The address is sent to your phone," Millie said to Marvin.Marvin nodded. "Got it.""Secondly, I need some marketing. Let the world know that we have a breakthrough in the development of SH2N.""Lastly, Butterfly will make a comeback. Snowdrop's proof will be out soon. Marvin, get Yvonne to manage the social media account for the release of Snowdrop."The trio nodded.Millie left as quickly as she arrived. Marvin sighed when she left.Drew wondered, "Has the boss lost some pounds lately?"Marvin replied, "Looks like it."Elliot suggested, "She's exhausted. Time to give her a hand."Drew said, "We can't help much. You know she likes to get involved."Elliot remarked, "Well, let's at least keep M Base in good shape."After Millie left M Base, she received a new push notification on her phone. The headline read: "Greer Group Terminates In-Depth Partnership with Lowell Group; CEO Win

    Joanna sensed the unmistakable hatred burning in Winston's eyes. Of course, he hated her. He despised lies, and she was the main culprit that turned his life into a mess.What saddened her was the fact that she felt her heart fluttering for Winston when she stood before him, even when he looked at her with indifference. She mistakenly believed she would not feel anything for him anymore.She was filled with discontentment. She refused to accept how things had ended with Winston. She did not want to be branded as evil in Winston's eyes."Win, I'm sorry," she apologized to him despite knowing her apology was futile for a merciless man like Winston.Perhaps she had only apologized to make herself feel better.There was no warmth in his eyes. Her apology meant nothing to him. He suggested in an unfeeling tone, "You should apologize to Millie, not me."Joanna bit her lip. She would never apologize to Millie! Never!The air instantly grew somber.Logan's mood lightened when he saw Jo

    Winston left the Lowell Group without hesitation.Logan stood by the elevator doors, overcome by bitterness. He was on his turf, yet he could only humbly watch Winston leave. Power certainly spoke louder than anything else, it seemed.Eli followed Winston closely, inquiring, "Mr. Greer, when do we make the move?""Right now," ordered Winston with a cold glint in his eyes.From now on, the Lowell Group and the Greer Group established themselves as enemies. Logan Lowell would be a fool to think that Winston would go easy on him!Winston had only paid attention to Joanna because she had saved his life. Now, he had no reason to hold a soft spot for the Lowells.How could they take him as a fool? That was blatant disrespect. The thought of Joanna playing him like a fiddle made him seethe.Winston Greer had never been fooled this way. He pulled the car door open and quickly hopped into the car. Noticing his temper, Eli walked on eggshells around him.…The media had been waiting

    Did Winston Greer publicly announce that the Lowell Group was unqualified to work with them?Ethan and Harriet's faces fell when they watched Winston criticizing the Lowell Group in the interview. "The Greer Group is the most powerful, making them the leader of the Four Great Families, but that is no reason for us to grovel at their feet! He has no right to publicly condemn us!" Rarely had Ethan shown any strong emotions, but he was incensed when he heard Winston's remark.Harriet sat on the couch with a brooding look. "He did this all because Jo lied to him."Ethan snapped, "Fine, Jo was wrong for lying to him, but he didn't have to drag the Lowell Group through the mud! Winston Greer is such a—"At the height of his fury, he dialed Brian's number. Brian was in the middle of an indoor basketball game with his good friends, enjoying his leisure time, having handed over the company to Winston.It had been months since Ethan called him. Hence, he looked surprised when his assistan

    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
