Chapter 121

In the ward, Simon stood by the bed and asked Terrence, “Mr. Caldwell, did the doctor sayanything. about Mr. Caldwell Senior?”

“He’s fine now.” Terrence sighed before adding, “He just needs to be more careful from now on. Heshould avoid stress and not get too worked up.”

Simon nodded slightly. “Mr. Caldwell, my father was supposed to come with me. But he had to goon an unexpected business trip, so he sent me instead. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Don’t be silly. Of course, I don’t mind,” Terrence replied while waving his hand.

Then, he told Simon, “I’ll ask Mills to book us a table later. Let’s have dinner together.”

Simon looked at Millie, standing by the window with her arms crossed. Her eyes were glued to the

black Porsche outside.

Winston hadn’t left yet. Millie lowered her head, feeling troubled.

“Millie!” Terrence called out to her.

Only then did Millie lift her head and retract her gaze. “Huh?”

“What’s on your mind?” Terrence asked, glaring at her.

He wondered if Winston had charmed her. It was as if Millie had forgotten all about the pain oncethe wounds had healed. A mere smile from him, and she would come running.

“How useless!” Terrence cursed inwardly.

“Nothing.” Millie answered with a faint smile.

Knowing that Millie’s thoughts were still with Winston, Simon said, “Mr. Caldwell, I won’t be joiningyou for dinner tonight. I’ve some matters to attend to.

That was when Millie realized Terrence had intended to have dinner with Simon.

After that, she heard Simon explaining, “Mr. Caldwell, I really need to take care of some things. I’vebeen working on securing the land near the airport.”

“Oh? You’re interested in that land too?” Terrence was surprised. He had heard that Winston alsohad his sights set on the same land.

Simon chuckled and answered, “Yes, I’m planning to open a hotel.”

Terrence sighed. “Youngsters nowadays are truly remarkable. We old folks are slowly falling behind.Since you’re busy, I won’t keep you. After all, we’ve got plenty of time ahead of us.”

If Millie and Simon were to get together, they certainly had plenty of time ahead of them. Therewould be numerous opportunities for them to interact.

“Okay.” Simon nodded.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, he left,

As Millie saw him off, she asked, “Is it difficult to apply for that land?”

She had never been involved in the business world and had little understanding of it. She onlyheard Terrence mention it occasionally. There appeared to be significant pressure due to fiercecompetition.

“It’s not hard, but the competition is tough,” Simon responded with a smile.

Millie arched an eyebrow, showing a hint of understanding. She grinned at Simon and said,“Besides the Four Great Families, Harrison Corporation is a strong contender. You won’t lose. Goodluck!”

Her words elicited a chuckle from Simon. Should he tell her this powerful opponent was from one ofthe Four Great Families? What was more, the man was her husband, Winston.

“Alright, if it works out, I’ll treat you to a meal,” Simon answered with an air of elegance. “I’ll take my

leave now.”

Simon patted Millie on the head before getting into the car.

Millie nodded at him and watched him drive away. When she turned, she noticed the Porsche still⚫ parked where it was before.

Sitting inside the vehicle, Winson stared at her coldly. Once he was sure Simon had left, he toodrove

away.

Millie narrowed her eyes. She could not help but replace his actions rather baffling.

Upon returning to the ward, Terrence chided, “Looks like Winston has you under his thumb!”

He approached Millie and lightly flicked her head. She responded by rubbing her head and glaringat her father.

“How dare you glare at me? Millie, it won’t kill you if you stop having feelings for Winston!” Terrencesaid with a huff. The more he thought about it, the more irritated he grew.

Millie sighed. She held his hand and said coquettishly, “Dad, I won’t let myself get hurt by the sameman twice. Trust me!”
