Millie waited for a while, but he didn’t continue speaking. She then smiled and asked, “Winston, areyou worried about me?”

Winston paused. He probably didn’t even realize how anxious he sounded. His expression and tonerevealed his concern for her.

He avoided directly answering her question and replied aggressively, “Don’t change the subject.”

Millie smiled. “You’re the one changing the subject.”

“Millie, don’t joke with your life,” he reminded seriously.

Her smile disappeared, and she eventually regained her composure. She stated coldly, “Whether Ilive or die is none of your concern. If something bad happens to me in the future, don’t try to saveme.”

Winston frowned, confused by her comment. Did she think he shouldn’t have saved her?

After glancing at him, she said nothing and left. But as soon as she walked out, she spotted Gloriamaking her way back.

“Millie…” Gloria said.

“Mom, I’m not feeling well. I’ll head back to my ward first,” she said gently.

Gloria was eager to speak, but Millie pushed her aside and walked off. Unable to persuade her tostay, she returned to Winston’s ward.

She gazed at Winston with a complex expression. “What did you two discuss? You seem verytense.” Winston gazed at the door, his eyes growing cold and distant. He could no longer recognizeMillie. It was as if she had transformed since the day she decided to divorce him.

Meanwhile, he remained stagnant, unable to move forward. In fact, it seemed as if he had eventaken steps backward.

Winston hung his head, releasing a heavy sigh. His hand nervously ran through his hair, a tangle ofemotions swirling within him.

Millie’s words echoed relentlessly in his mind.

“We’re even now.”

“Don’t interfere in my affairs again.”

“Whether I live or die is none of your concern.”

Winston had to admit that he couldn’t accept Millie treating him this way. Her attitude was simply toodistant for him at the moment.

Gloria approached Winston and inquired, “What’s on your mind? Why are you staring at the door?Are you thinking about Millie or Joanna?”

་

Winston turned away and gazed at Gloria. He sighed. “Mom, you’re being too hard on Joanna.”

“Leave me alone.” Gloria scoffed and didn’t believe she had gone too far. If she did, she shouldhave confronted the Lowells a long time ago.

Did they have no idea how to educate Joanna? If they were clueless, she would step in and teachher on behalf of the Lowell family.

“Whether Joanna chooses to marry me in the future or not, she’ll always remain the eldest daughterof the Lowell family. If you continue to treat her in this manner, her parents and Logan-”

Before Winston finished speaking, Gloria stood up and confronted him directly. “Are the Greersscared of the Lowells? Winston, are you afraid of any members of the Lowell family?

Winston was influential, and it seemed that the Lowells should be afraid of him instead. But why washe consistently cautious when dealing with them?

Gloria was perplexed. “Did they have leverage over you? Or did you owe anything to them?

Winston was taken aback by the question. Naturally, the Lowell family had no leverage over him.However, Joanna had saved his life. Thus, he owed her a life.

“I don’t blame Joanna completely for what happened between you two. Winston, you’re mostlyresponsible for this situation. If you hadn’t given in to temptation, Joanna wouldn’t have had thechance.” Gloria’s nagging was giving Winston a pounding headache. As he leaned against the bed,he watched her take a sip of water and prepare to bring up Joanna again.

Winston was annoyed and cut her off, “Mom, enough. I won’t keep it from you any longer. I’ll tell youwhy I have to marry Joanna. It’s because of the kidnapping…”
