It seemed that Joanna had been frequently ill since Winston’s kidnapping.
“Let’s go,” said Simon.
Mille hummed in response.
They stood in silence in front of the elevator. Simon’s gaze landed on Millie’s shoulder. “So, how did you get this injury?”
Millie was stunned, wondering if he had also overheard her conversation with Winston.
“I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional. I noticed Joanna at the door and my curiosity got the best of me, so I went over and happened to overhear,” Simon explained.
Millie shook her head to show that it didn’t matter if he asked. Casually, she offered an explanation. When I was a kid, I fell off the balcony and landed on a vase, which ended up cutting me
Simon gazed into her eyes and asked, “Really?”
‘Of course! I never lie,” Millie said with a serious expression.
Simon burst out laughing. Millie cleared her throat slightly, feeling slightly guilty.
“Never lie…” He chuckled softly, repeating Millie’s words.
Simon was speechless. She always insisted that she had fallen for him, but constantly made him perform for Winston. The more attractive a woman was, the better she was at lying.
After breakfast the next day, Millie headed to the hospital. The news of her and Simon’s date had mysteriously disappeared online, as if someone had deliberately erased it. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
As she passed by the emergency department, Millie spotted Winston. When she arrived at the office door, she noticed many of her colleagues standing outside, seemingly waiting for something.
Millie was puzzled. “Why aren’t you going in?”

Vanessa pointed inside and said, “You’ve finally arrived. Someone’s here to see
Millie was confused about who it could be. She opened the office door and saw Gloria and Selma sitting on the couch, with Lainey in front of them.
Millle frowned and quickly texted Winston, “Your mom and grandma are in my office. Please come over if you’re available.”

Lainey noticed Millie approaching and promptly stood up. “Dr. Caldwell, they’re here to
“Grandma, Mom….” Millie greeted them, feeling helpless. She couldn’t understand why they had come to the hospital to see her.
-Lainey left the office, giving the three of them some privacy.
Yoel peered inside and snorted. “This is too much. This is a hospital, not their house. What could be so Important that it can’t be discussed elsewhere?”

Lainey glared at him. “Why are you complaining? Aren’t you going to be occupied as well? Are you in such a rush to occupy the office?”
“Let’s get to work!” Lainey commanded the others.
Vanessa was the first to leave. However, Yoel still felt indignant.
Lainey reminded him, “Dr. Marshall, don’t always be so biased against rich people.”
In the office, Selma held Millie’s hand, looking apologetic. “Mills, I had no choice but to come with Gloria to see you here.”
Millie shook her head. “It’s okay, Grandma.”
“Mills, you told me on the phone that you had fallen in love with Simon, but I just couldn’t believe it,” Selma said firmly.
Millie looked down as Selma continued, “I’m right here in front of you. Look at me and tell me that you no longer love Winston and that you love Simon instead!”
People could lie with their words, but their eyes usually reveal the truth. Selma didn’t believe that Millie truly didn’t love Winston anymore.
Millie looked up and saw Gloria and Selma staring at her intensely. She fixed her gaze on Selma and said sincerely, “Grandma, I truly don’t love Winston anymore.”
The office doorknob turned, and the door swung open. Winston stood in the doorway, gazing calmly at Millie. Her words from moments ago echoed in his ears.
“I truly don’t love Winston anymore.”
