Chapter 91

Author: Gina Cinq
Even though Terrence had been talking to Millie, Winston knew those words had been meant for him.

Terrence's words couldn't have been clearer. He wanted them to hurry up and finalize their divorce so they could stop dragging things around.

"I know, Dad," Millie said calmly.

Millie glanced at Winston, signaling for him to talk outside.

Winston followed Millie closely. She was dressed in a black dress with thick straps. Her long hair fell against her shoulders and contrasted against her fair skin, which also framed her collarbones.

Her wrists and back were still covered in white bandages. Winston still couldn't help but feel a jolt when he thought about the injuries underneath them.

"How stubborn must you be to come all the way here? I did tell you I wasn't mad," Millie said lazily. She randomly plucked a rose and began to carefully pick off its thorns.

Winston had already seen the roses planted everywhere when he came in. "Did Simon give you these?"

Millie glanced at him before

    "That's okay. I can go on my own," Millie said, turning Simon down."I think I should go with you. See you!" Simon didn't give Millie the chance to turn him down a second time and hung up.Millie helplessly put her phone back down and realized Winston was still holding onto her."Mr. Greer, it's not very polite to keep holding onto me," she reminded him nicely.They were already exes. It wasn't nice to be so touchy, especially not in public.If Joanna spotted him, she would probably cry and make another fuss."Are you really going to date Simon?" Winston asked, sounding frustrated."Watch yourself. That's none of your business," Millie said as she pushed his hand off her in disgust.What should she do if her ex-husband was still worried about her? "Millie, he's not a good guy," Winston reminded her out of kindness.Millie chuckled. "I already loved the most evil guy in the world. Why would I worry about Simon?"Winston was stunned silent.Was he the most evil guy on earth?

    Sebastian had probably come looking for Layla because of how similar Millie and Layla's techniques were. After all, Millie had grown up under Layla's influence.Layla was confused. What female students?She never took any students regardless of their gender. The only student she wanted was Millie, but her granddaughter seemed determined not to learn medicine.It was something that really angered her."Sebastian, have you forgotten that I don't take students?" Layla asked with a stern expression.Sebastian paused. He finally remembered that important detail."Then…" Sebastian looked up. He couldn't help but look at Millie."Hi, Mr. Sebastian," Millie said with a smile. She finally got the chance to say hello.Sebastian looked at Millie properly.

    "What are you doing here, Winston?" Millie looked at the man in front of her suspiciously.Expressionlessly, Winston replied, "Am I unwelcome?"He could tell by Millie's change of expression that not only was he unwelcome, but he was also putting her in a bad mood. Was she disappointed that he had been the one standing outside and not Simon?Julia suddenly called out, "Millie, what's wrong?""Nothing! Simon's here. Bye!" As she spoke, she began to pull Winston out with her.He frowned and looked at Millie, who looked completely unruffled after lying to her family. "So I'm Simon now?" he asked her."If you're not afraid of getting chased out with a broom by my dad, feel free to announce who you actually are!" Millie glared at Winston, feeling disgusted. Winston fell silent.That really sounded like something Terrence might do.Millie only let him go when they left the front gates. "What are you doing here again?""It's been three days, hasn't it? I'm bringing you to the hospi

    Millie raised her eyes and spotted Simon's car nearby. He sat inside and was silently observing them. Soon after, he stepped out and walked toward them. Reacting to his approach, Millie discreetly moved aside, creating a distance between herself and Winston. Her subtle action pricked at Winston's emotions. "Millie, am I late?" Simon asked, his voice playful. "No, not at all," she replied. It was Winston who had arrived early. "Shall I accompany you for your hospital appointment?" he asked. With a nod, Millie agreed and began walking alongside Simon. Winston's grip on Millie's wrist tightened. Beneath the trees, morning sunlight peeked through the branches, casting a soft glow on them. His eyes lingered on Millie's trembling wrist, his throat tightening. With a calm yet cold voice, he asked, "Are you sure about going with him?" Meeting Winston's gaze, Millie found his gaze inscrutable, leaving her perplexed. Perhaps her struggle to understand Winston wasn't confined

    Millie watched with confusion as Winston circled and climbed inside the car. She pondered if he was trying to intimidate her, and since when had she become the obstacle preventing their divorce? The situation was so absurd that it was laughable. Simon, who was standing by the car, observed Winston with a puzzled expression. After a brief moment, he crossed his arms and leaned against the vehicle, letting out a resigned chuckle. Was Winston truly in love with Millie, or was this some sort of game? Recognizing that confronting Winston directly would lead nowhere, Millie opted for a softer approach. She flashed a radiant smile and said sincerely, "Mr. Greer, I appreciate your concern. But since Simon is here, it wouldn't be polite to let him leave on his own, would it?" Winston lifted his gaze, locking eyes with Millie's captivating ones. Her smile was as enchanting as a gentle breeze. "Would you rather let me go alone?" Winston moved closer, his intense gaze fixed on Millie

    Simon hadn't left. The more Millie resisted, the less Winston seemed willing to let her leave the car. "Sit tight," he coldly warned before flooring the accelerator. The sports car roared away, seemingly flaunting its speed to Simon. Frustrated, Millie texted Simon an apology. Soon came a message from him. "No worries, I was the one who was late." His composed response deepened Millie's sense of regret. Simon's emotional steadiness made him seem like an ideal partner. Yet, her heart struggled to open up again. Casting a fleeting glance at Winston, she noticed his furrowed brow, possibly sensing her gaze. She immediately averted her gaze toward the window. Her emotions were a tangled mess, while her fingers nervously intertwined. Their relationship felt complicated as if a knot impossible to untangle. The car stopped at the hospital entrance. Winston opened the door, and Millie shot him a sidelong glance before heading to the emergency. He trailed behind with

    "Win, Mills?" Joanna's voice echoed from behind. Millie and Winston turned, finding Joanna in her white coat with a cup of coffee in hand. Her face briefly stiffened seeing the scene, her lips pressing into a thin line. Mille and Winston together explained why he hadn't answered her calls earlier—he was with Millie. Joanna wondered if he was still hung up on his ex. "Did I interrupt?" she asked, her smile tainted with bitterness. Quickly, Winston explained, "No, Millie hurt her hand at the banquet a few days ago. I'm taking her to her hospital appointment." Millie shot Winston a piercing look, silently condemning his two-faced behavior. Joanna offered a strained smile, her irritation barely concealed. "Thanks to Mills that day, otherwise—" "He's lying," Millie interjected, halting Joanna's words. Winston's eyes narrowed at Millie, wondering what she was up to. Raising her chin, Millie flashed Winston a mischievous grin, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Joanna, kee

Having joined the Bifrost Hospital just a year prior, Lainey's cool demeanor and exceptional medical skills had earned her the title of "Demon Healer". She was the mentor Millie was set to work under.Lainey was deeply engrossed in patient records when she noticed Millie. Millie offered a nod of acknowledgment. "Dr. Quinn." With a brief hum, Lainey instructed, "Are you the newbie? Meet me in my office later." With that, she resumed her brisk pace, her expression inscrutable. As the team moved forward, Millie subtly positioned herself by the wall and observed their departure. A few interns exchanged covert glances and murmured, "Isn't that Millie Caldwell?" "Do you mean the Caldwell family known for medical excellence, except for Millie Caldwell? Could it really be her?" "Exactly. I heard she's not up to par and on

    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.

    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
