"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

Draped in their pristine white coats, the team radiated a vibrant energy. Leading them was Lainey Quinn, a distinguished chief cardiac surgeon in her thirties. 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

"Everyone, please welcome Millie Caldwell, our newest member in the department. Let's take a moment to get to know her." Taking a moment to sip her water, Lainey then turned her attention to Millie. Millie had her hair neatly pinned up, complemented by a light pink blouse beneath her white coat, exuding a calm and professional aura.The team responded with applause, welcoming Millie warmly. However, Yoel's reaction was lukewarm at best. He shot her a brief, disapproving glance, muttering, "Does Dr. Lloyd think we need another decorative addition? One was more than sufficient." Before anyone could respond, Joanna walked in. Yoel's slight headache escalated at her arrival. One was already a handful, but adding another seemed excessive. After all, they had a fixed number of doctors, right? Millie's gaze met Joanna's, serene and composed. Joanna's expression, however, conveyed a different sentiment. "Following department tradition, shouldn't new members treat us to a meal?"

Gavin gazed at the crowd, his striking features devoid of any emotion and exuding an icy chill. He conveyed Layla's message. "Ladies and gentlemen," he began, "these are the snacks that Madam Layla has prepared for all of you. Madam Layla mentioned that Ms. Caldwell is new here, and she would like to express her gratitude for your assistance."Everyone shook their heads. "We didn't help much. She's too kind."Joanna frowned as she observed the scene, feeling uneasy and thinking it was excessive. Millie seemed to enjoy showing off, just like she did in high school. She looked like an upstart.After Gavin had finished conveying the messages, he turned to Lainey and said, "Dr. Quinn, Madam Layla mentioned that she plans to visit you on another day. Thank you for your hard work!"Lainey felt a rush of excitement when she heard that Layla, a legendary figure in the medical field, was coming to visit her. She couldn't believe it. It felt like a dream come true."Madam Layla informed u

Rowan also brought some imported food for them all to enjoy. Before departing, he announced, "We'll be delivering food every Monday from now on."As the gifts and food slowly overflowed the nurses' station and department, Millie's colleagues wondered if this was really happening. They were in disbelief.Joanna stared at the gifts on the table and angrily threw them into the trash can again.Joanna's lackey was about to toss it away when she overheard someone mention, "I've actually looked up this scarf online before. It's worth thousands of dollars.""This perfume is also a limited edition and quite difficult to buy."Wanda Cooper hesitated just before tossing the items into the trash can. Discarding the cakes and coffee was a simple decision. Yet, as a regular person, there was a tinge of reluctance to throw away the thousand-dollar scarf and limited edition perfume.Joanna stared at Wanda, perplexed by her hesitation and actions. Did she truly want to keep the gifts that Millie

Layla was the first to respond to Millie's message. "Have you received everything? Work diligently in the hospital, and don't embarrass me!"Millie pouted as she read the message.Millie: "Don't worry, I've got this. I won't embarrass you!"Terrence: "Even though you didn't take charge of my company, there must be a celebration for you wherever you go. I'll handle all the arrangements. Simply focus on your work, and if you're unhappy, come home and inherit the family property."Millie smiled, and her eyes gleamed with both helplessness and happiness. She felt grateful for having a father who eagerly awaited her return home every day in anticipation of passing down his inheritance.Julia: "Happy working, Mills. I love you."Millie was ecstatic but wondered why Arthur didn't reply. "@Grandpa, did you arrange anything?"Arthur, peering through his glasses at the phone screen, was suddenly mentioned. He couldn't resist texting a message tinged with grievance. Arthur: "I was about

Joanna smiled. "May I take the food to go?"Millie stared at Joanna, wondering what she was up to. Joanna glared at her with a burning desire for revenge. She couldn't forget how Millie had made her purchase an excessive amount of drinks at the bar."Dr. Lowell, you may order whatever you want to eat. I'm fine with it," Millie replied earnestly.Their colleagues glanced at the pair, sensing the tension in the air.Joanna summoned the waiter and asked, "What is the most expensive dish on the menu?""Ms. Lowell, five exquisite lobsters have just arrived from Arbalia today. Their average price is about two thousand dollars each," replied the waiter.The others were shocked upon hearing the price. It cost two thousand dollars per lobster. Clearly, they were not eating lobsters but money."We want them all." Joanna smiled.The waiter was stunned and wondered whether she was truly ordering all the lobsters.Joanna tilted her head, took a sip of water, and asked, "Why? Are you unwi

Winston had a captivating bass voice, especially when he expressed his intention to make amends, showing great affection for Joanna. Millie felt a pang in her heart at his words. She gazed deeply into his eyes and offered a gentle smile. Saying nothing more, she turned back toward the private room. If Joanna found out that the five premium lobsters she ordered to cause trouble for Millie were paid by Winston, she would likely be furious.Winston gazed upon Millie's back, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions. In the past, Millie would have surely caused a commotion upon hearing him attempting to please Joanna. However, this time, she simply glanced at him before turning away. Was this because she no longer loved him or because she loved him too much and had to pretend not to care?Millie returned to the private room, purposefully leaving the door ajar because she knew that Winston would come to see Joanna. True to her expectations, Winston knocked on the door as soon a

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
