Chapter 346
Millie waited for a while, but he didn’t continue speaking. She then smiled and asked, “Winston, are you worried about me?”
Winston paused. He probably didn’t even realize how anxious he sounded. His expression and tone revealed 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 I live or die is none of your concern. If something bad happens to me in the future, don’t try to save me.”
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 Gloria making 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 to stay, she returned to Winston’s ward.
She gazed at Winston with a complex expression. “What did you two discuss? You seem very tense.” Winston gazed at the door, his eyes growing cold and distant. He could no longer recognize Millie. 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 even taken steps backward.
Winston hung his head, releasing a heavy sigh. His hand nervously ran through his hair, a tangle of emotions 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 too distant 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 should have 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 teach her on behalf of the Lowell family.
