Millie was still in a daze as she was being lifted up.

She looked up. Her lips slightly brushed against Winston's cheeks, startling him.

Millie swallowed. She wrapped her arms around Winston's neck subconsciously and lowered her head.

"Winston, take Mills to the hospital to get treated now!" Gloria said hurriedly.

Winston's Adam's apple bobbed. After acknowledging Gloria, he held Millie tighter.

Frowning, Simon wanted to follow them. Winston shot him a cold glance. "Are you doubting my abilities to take care of her?"

Simon stopped in his tracks immediately and said with a smile, "Of course not, Mr. Greer."

The blood dripped from Millie's hands and onto Winston's neck. The smell of the blood and the sticky sensation made Winston panic and uncomfortable.

He looked at Millie with mixed feelings and quickened his steps.

Millie raised her head and looked at his side profile. She wondered if she was mistaken, but she actually saw a trace of concern in Winston's eyes.

    Those doctors were being so rough. He would do it himself."No." Millie inched backward."You don't have the right to say no." Winston's tone was stern.Millie kept moving backward until her back was against the railing. She couldn't help but inhale sharply.Noticing her sharp breath, he took the iodine and forceps from the doctor. In a low voice, he asked, "Where does it hurt?"Millie looked at Winston with reddened eyes. There was no light in them and only helplessness.Winston felt that his heartstrings were being tugged at. He became impatient and irritated for some reason. "I'm asking you, where does it hurt?"What the hell was going on? Why was he feeling frustrated ever since Millie got injured? He couldn't calm down for even a moment.Seeing Millie look at him that way, he only felt guilty. But he didn't cause this, so why was he so frustrated?Millie lowered her eyes and pointed at her back, after which Winston moved to stand behind her.Below her butterfly tattoo we

    Millie frowned, unhappy with Winston's teasing.Just as she was about to push him away, he pulled her into his embrace. He deliberately rested his chin on her shoulder and teased her, "Satisfying you is not out of the question."Millie was rendered speechless. Winston really had no shame. Why hadn't she realized that she was so shameless before?She stomped on Winston's foot. He didn't back off, but he did let her go.Millie glared at him resentfully. She was about to turn and leave when Winston frowned and asked, "Can you walk? Don't fall again."Millie forced a smile. "You don't have to concern yourself with these matters, Mr. Greer."Then, she raised her leg, but unexpectedly, she stumbled again.Winston hurried forward to help her, but before he could hold her, she had already grabbed the edge of the bed herself.Millie looked down. Her dress was caught on the bed.Winston couldn't help but chuckle softly. Like a cello, it was low and sonorous.He walked over to her and h

    Did he want to ask a favor from her? Millie was too engrossed in her thoughts and didn't notice the steps ahead.She slipped and fell toward Winston uncontrollably."Um…" Millie frowned. Her face was pressed against Winston's back as she breathed heavily.He turned around immediately and wrapped his arm around her waist to lift her up. "What now?"She frowned. "I didn't notice the steps.""Millie, you're always so careless." His tone carried a hint of impatience.Millie glared at him. He was already so impatient even though she just bumped into him. If it had been Joanna, he would have felt pity for her, and he would have hugged and kissed her by now, wouldn't he?But the next moment, Winston picked her up and carried her in his arms.He said in a low voice, "I'll send you home."Millie held onto his neck tightly as she stared at him, as if she was a deer caught in headlights. She had never felt so confused before.Winston had noticed her gaze. He stared straight ahead and sa

    Winston opened the car door and bent down to put her into the car. His tone softened as he said, "Okay. Get in the car first." Millie's hands were still around his neck, so he couldn't move away.He knew very well that if he didn't agree to her asking a question now, she wouldn't let go.He was well aware that she was very stubborn.He maintained his current position of bending over. Helplessly, he asked, "Go ahead."Millie looked up and stared at him. Blinking, she asked gently, "If Joanna didn't exist, would you love me?"This was a question she had been dying to ask in the last three years.Looking at Millie, a mixture of emotions flashed in Winston's eyes.Millie was looking at him earnestly, making it impossible for him to not answer sincerely.He should have said "no" firmly, but as he looked at her, he couldn't bring himself to say it for some reason.Millie pursed her lips as she looked into Winston's eyes. Seeing him hesitate, she knew his answer. Even if Joanna did

    Whenever that happened, he would have the crazy idea of having Millie all to himself.Winston exerted more force as he stroked her lips. It was as if waves of emotion were surging in his eyes, and he even smudged Millie's lipstick.As the dim light fell on her gorgeous face, Millie frowned and moaned softly. "Hmm…"This soft moan completely destroyed Winston's self-restraint.He lowered his head and kissed her eagerly. He had always had strong self-control, but when it came to Millie, he couldn't help himself. Ever since he kissed her that day in the bar, he had completely lost his defenses.Holding Millie's chin, Winston wished he could kiss her to his heart's content.However, he was afraid of waking her up. It would be hard for him to explain himself if that happened, so he could only stop, albeit reluctantly. He caressed her lips and gave her a peck in the end.Winston felt his breath getting heavier and something stirring in his abdomen because Millie was still resting agai

    After the car stopped in front of the villa, Winston carried Millie out of the car.When the car door was opened, Millie opened her eyes slightly. She was still groggy as she asked, "Are we home?"Winston looked at her. She seemed to be in pain. She must be feeling discomfort due to the injuries on her body."Yes," he replied in a low voice and carried her upstairs.Millie felt a bit dizzy. Everything was hazy and she drifted back to sleep once more.Seeing her sleeping so soundly, Winston couldn't help but feel a little helpless.This foolish woman had fallen asleep without any scruples. Fortunately, he had been the one to send her to the hospital. What if it had been Simon?Winston didn't dare to think about what would have happened if Simon had taken her home.He pushed open the bedroom door and switched on the lights. The emptiness of the room made his heart shiver.Ever since Millie left, he had not entered this room. Now that he was in here again, everything felt foreign

    Winston hung up right after saying that.Simon was in no place to be telling Winston off about anything.He tossed his phone back onto the bedside table and looked at Millie, who was asleep next to him.He heard Simon's words ring loudly in his ear again, accusing him of not being loyal and embarrassing men as a whole.Winston got more annoyed the more he thought about it. He pinched Millie's face and complained, "You flirt!"Winston's phone rang at that very moment. He saw Joanna's name flashing on the screen.He was about to pick up, but he subconsciously hung up before he could stop himself.He was too annoyed to bother cheering Joanna up and put his phone on silent before tossing it to the side again.It was late in the night, but Millie couldn't sleep soundly. She always woke up in the middle of the night from pain.When she woke up that morning, it was only 6:00 am. It was cloudy outside, and the room was barely lit by a grayish hint of sunshine.Millie massaged her hea

    Millie was shocked that Winston would ask her to stay for breakfast, but she had no plans on staying."That's okay. I've troubled you enough already," she said as she shook her head and pushed his hand away.Winston's hand fell limply to his side. He couldn't help but follow Millie as she left the room."Millie, I know you haven't had the best three years so far, but I hope we can be civil after the divorce. We don't have to treat each other like enemies."Millie felt annoyed at his words. He hadn't contributed anything in the past three years, nor did he know what heartbreak truly felt like.Of course, he could act professionally and act like nothing had ever happened.She couldn't. She had been hurt, humiliated, and disappointed. How could her husband ask her to be civil after cheating on her? How was she supposed to be civil?Did he treat her so well yesterday because he didn't want her to make a fuss after getting a divorce?To be fair, he was the president of Greer Tower

    "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

    "She's been hurt so badly, almost losing her life, yet he said she's fortunate. Clearly, he's the fortunate one! If he leaves our Mills, where else is he going to find a girl as wonderful and sweet as her?"Arthur nodded in agreement, playing along like a sidekick. "Exactly, that's what I'm saying!"He spoke a bit louder than usual, clearly aiming his words at Winston.Of course, Winston surely understood what they were thinking.He nodded. "Grandma is right. It was definitely me aiming too high. So if I get another chance, I will definitely treat Millie well.""Hmph! Men are all talk!" Layla had long seen through Winston's ways.Winston was at a loss for words.It didn't take long to reach the entrance of the supermarket.There were a lot of people present because of New Year's Day shopping.After Layla got sick once, her health had significantly worsened. Additionally, with one of her hands not working well, she appeared a bit flustered when she and Arthur entered the superm

    "Dear, could you give me a hand?" Layla asked. "Oh no, why is this step so slippery?"The next day, Winston sat in his car, watching as the elderly couple came out of the Caldwell residence.Arthur held the shopping cart in his hand, and the two of them were all geared up, ready to go out shopping.Winston got out of the car. The elderly couple happened to see Winston at that moment.Arthur and Layla exchanged glances. Layla spoke up first. "Mills is not here!""I understand. I'm not looking for Mills." Winston approached and stopped in front of them. "Grandma, Mills should have mentioned it to you. I was thinking of spending the Spring Festival with you and her."Layla reacted as if she had just heard a joke, saying bluntly, "When you were married, we never saw you spend the Spring Festival with her. "Now that you two have nothing to do with each other, why are you coming to spend the Spring Festival with her? She has family; she doesn't need you to spend the Spring Festival w

    Even though Winston wasn't eating, he was really good at paying and carrying things.Millie felt a strong sense of nostalgia for her own college days as she watched the university students eating.She wished she could go back to high school or maybe even college.She had seen many novels where the main female character went back to high school, and in each of these stories, she no longer loved the male lead when she returned back in time.If she went back to high school…"What are you thinking about? You're about to walk into the wall." Winston interrupted Millie's thoughts and pulled her closer to him.Millie really had almost bumped into a wall."Nothing." She smiled at Winston.Winston raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.The light from the food trucks shone on him and cast an indescribable sense of fate about him.He didn't belong here. Millie felt an increasingly strong urge to take him out of the scene immediately.Millie felt that if she went back to high school

    "Hey, young lady, would you like to try some beef organs?" a vendor selling snacks asked Millie while preparing the food. "You're such a pretty girl, and your boyfriend is quite handsome too!"Millie and Winston exchanged a glance.Millie shook her head and was about to say she didn't want any.But Winston simply said, "I'll take two."Millie gave Winston a questioning look.Winston said to her, "I wasn't planning on buying it either, but she called me your boyfriend. With her having such good taste, shouldn't I buy two to show some support?"The vendor laughed heartily.Millie pressed her lips together and moved her mouth slightly. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.The vendor said, "It seems like I was right. If I had mentioned the word husband, then would you have bought out my whole car?"Winston nodded. "I'm considering it. However, I don't think she'd approve."The vendor laughed heartily and said, "You all look unfamiliar, so you probably aren't from the school

    Millie was the type of person who stood firm on what she wanted, regardless of who was around. No setbacks or hardships could affect her.Winston thought about this and felt even more heartache for Millie. He was the one who turned the brave and passionate girl, someone who never cared about what others thought, into the cold person she was now.He felt that loving someone was akin to taking care of a flower. He had watched as a beautiful tulip transformed into a rose covered in thorns."Winston?"He heard Millie's voice close by.Winston turned his head and saw Millie frowning. "What are you thinking about? Let's go?""Not going to watch for a bit longer?" he asked."I've seen this fountain so many times. What's so special about it?" Millie remarked with a clear voice, glancing at the fountain.Winston smiled but didn't say anything.In the past, every time she was there, she would always use excuses like "I haven't seen enough" or "Let's watch the fountain a little longer" t

    "Hey there, could you help me take a picture?" Millie was looking around when someone suddenly called out to her.Millie turned around to see a tall boy holding a camera. Behind him, there was a girl waiting.Millie nodded and was about to take the camera to help with taking a picture.Winston suddenly asked, "Can I help""Huh?" The boy paused. He looked at both of them and then said with a smile, "Alright then…"However, he was clearly hesitant.Millie chuckled and said, "Let me handle it. I might be a bit more skilled than Mr. Greer is."Winston shrugged and didn't say anything else.Millie stepped forward with a camera in her hand. The two students stood next to each other. They maintained an appropriate distance, suggesting they weren't close. The girl wore a dress layered with a coat, which made her look stylish.Millie observed the two individuals. She could tell that the boy had feelings for the girl, for he was being very cautious.The girl was smiling sweetly at the

    The man was wearing a loose sweatshirt with black pants. On top of that, he wore a long padded coat. His tall stature made him stand out among the other students. He looked even more like a student because of his outfit.Millie was a bit surprised when the person happened to look up in her direction. The two of them stood gazing at each other from across a wide asphalt road.Millie walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"Winston pressed his lips together and didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked her, "Why are you here so late?""I asked you first." Millie looked up at him, determined to get an answer."Just trying to revisit some memories," he said calmly. He ran a hand through his hair before putting both hands in his pockets.Millie hummed in acknowledgment."What about you? You're not from the University of Yerwick, are you?" he laughed.Millie looked at him with a calm expression, as if nothing could really stir her interest."I have quite a few memories

    Millie felt guilty, squeezing the orange in her hand so hard it was almost about to burst. She mumbled softly, "I mean, is it alright that Winston also came to the Spring Festival?"Layla placed the items on the table, then sat down on the couch and asked, "Why? Doesn't he have a home to go to?"Millie hesitated. That was a tricky question to answer."Got kicked out by the Greer family?" She eyed Millie with an intense gaze that was overwhelming and quite fierce.Millie didn't dare speak, but she still had to answer, "No."Layla gave a cold smile and immediately asked, "So why isn't he going back to his own home for New Year's Day and instead coming to ours? Is he crazy?""Grandma, he…" Millie wanted to explain."I don't agree," Layla stated flatly, dismissing any further explanations.Millie choked up and quietly looked over at Arthur.Arthur's expression grew more serious, as if he agreed with what Layla had said, and he turned his attention to the television."You're not e
