“I won’t,” Gina said. The memories of the year she lost contact with Michael had now faded from her mind, leaving her unable to explore even for herself.

“Alright then,” Michael said. He didn’t want to hang up, but he knew it wouldn’t be appropriate to keep bothering her..

“Okay,” Gina replied,

After hanging up the phone, Gina received a call from Dylan Thomas. “Gina, do you have time? Could you come over?”

“What’s going on?” Gina asked.

Dylan fell silent for a moment. “Ella and the others are at the hospital. They’re at the hospital entrance with a banner, hoping to get your forgiveness. They’re begging for a chance to meet with you,” Dylan explained.

“Chase them away,” Gina said, her tone indifferent.

“I want to do that too, but… Ella is kneeling at the entrance, refusing to leave no matter what. And your brother James, wasn’t he in a wheelchair after the accident? Now he’s lying on the ground, throwing a tantrum,” Dylan explained, sounding increasingly troubled. “They’re asking to see and talk to you once, not necessarily for your forgiveness.”

Gina didn’t have much of a reaction. A few days ago, she had been unfairly accused, which had taken a toll on her. Now was the time for her to recover. She didn’t want the Miller family’s actions to disrupt the regular operation of Prover Hospital. “Okay, I got it. I’ll be right there,” she said.

Dylan sighed. “Isn’t this just emotional blackmail? Gina, don’t let your guard down.” Dylan saw through the Miller family’s true colors as an outsider. He knew their desperate plea for Gina’s forgiveness was motivated by her newfound social status and wealth. Their attitude now was far from what it used to be.

Gina responded with a faint “Okay.” She wasn’t going to soften her stance. When the Miller family sent Olivia with property transfer documents to the detention center, asking Gina to sign, she knew she could never feel an ounce of pity for them in her entire life. They valued the glory and wealth Gina, as a prestigious figure in Prover Hospital and a judge in major competitions, could bring to the Miller family. She would never let them have their way.

As she arrived at the entrance of Prover Hospital, Gina saw Ella kneeling on the ground while James lay there, causing a scene. Hearing the car’s sound, Ella turned her head and saw Gina, her eyes lighting up. She hurriedly tried to get up, but her legs were numb from kneeling, almost causing her to fall back to the ground. She struggled to stand up and, after a moment of dizziness, said, “Gina… Miss Miller.” Ella quickly corrected herself, remembering Gina had once told her not to call her by her name. Finally seeing Gina, she didn’t want to do anything to upset her.

Gina glanced at the three of them: James, Liam, and Ella. Suddenly, she remembered the previous scene when they had broken out a fight in the ward. It was ironic how things had turned out.

Liam helped James back into his wheelchair. Seeing Gina arrive, Dylan noticed the Miller family finally behaving more appropriately and felt a sense of

relief.

“I’m here. Whatever you need to say, say it directly,” Gina said, her expression cold and her tone brisk.

“We just hope to make amends. We’ve wronged you in many ways, but your brothers and I have realized our mistakes. We want to do something to compensate for what we’ve done to you.”

Gina was uninterested in what they had to say. She responded bluntly, “I don’t need any of your apologies or attempts to make amends. No matter what you do, I will never forgive you. Don’t waste your time.” During the year she spent with the Miller family, Gina had forgiven them countless times. She endured their insults and mistreatment, choosing to tolerate rather than retaliate, believing that with time, they would eventually accept her and treat her sincerely as family. However, they repeatedly disappointed her until she was utterly disheartened

Ella’s face turned pale. “We truly don’t seek your forgiveness; we just want to do our best to make amends!”

Gina sneered. They attempted to wear her down and hope she’d relent. Unfortunately for them, Gina was never one to be easily swayed. She would have ceased to exist long ago if she were that soft-hearted.

Liam said, “Gina, don’t you love designing? The position of design director at Miller Jewels is still reserved for you!”

Before Gina could respo

Ella shot Liam a glare. Was her foolish son out of his mind? Considering Gina’s current status and position, there was no way she would be interested in the design director position at Miller Jewels.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Gina holds shares in Miller Jewels, and you want her to be the design director? Is that how you make arrangements?” Ella scolded, feeling it was too strange to call her daughter “Miss Miller.” She couldn’t help but call her by her name instead. Seeing that Gina didn’t correct her, Ella felt slightly relieved.

Gina couldn’t be bothered to correct Ella. After all, it was her mouth, and Gina was tired of repeatedly reminding her.

Liam lowered his head and remained silent.

Gina sneered. “Are you genuinely trying to make amends, or are you trying to drag me back to work as a laborer? Do you expect me to design for Miller Jewels? What kind of joke is this?”

“It’s not like that, Gina. Liam, he’s just not good with words. Please don’t hold it against him,” Ella hurried to explain, then glared at Liam. “If you can’t speak, then don’t speak. No one’s treating you like a mute,” she scolded.

Ella looked at Gina with a gentle smile. “Gina, if you’re willing, the president position at Miller Jewels is yours for the taking.”

James, who was nearby, was taken aback. Ever since their father’s stroke, he and Noah had been managing Miller Jewels together, with him as the president and Noah as the vice president. However, Noah took over the reins after James’s accident and hospitalization, leaving James feeling quite unsettled.

To his surprise, he couldn’t even hold onto the position. James felt a mix of anxiety and frustration. “Mom…” he began, unable to accept the situation. Before he could continue, Ella warned him to keep quiet.

“I’m not interested,” Gina refused decisively. Since she had decided to have no more dealings with the Miller family, she was determined to stick to her decision. The shares were rightfully hers, but apart from the twenty percent stake left to her by her grandmother, she had no interest in anything else. from the Miller family.

Ella still couldn’t let it go. She felt Gina’s firm attitude was because their apology wasn’t sincere enough. Glaring at her two disobedient sons, she scolded, “Why am I the only one speaking? Are you two mute? Have you forgotten how you treated your sister before? Apologize properly to hert Otherwise, why did you even bother coming?”

Liam felt uneasy. His rib, which Gina had interrupted, had only started healing.
