Millie looked up at him again. His expression was intense, and he held the cigarette tightly. The smell of cigarettes was unpleasant to her, and she couldnât seem to get rid of it. It was just like her.
She smiled and said, âIâm sorry, Winston.â
After saying that, she finally felt a true sense of relief.
Winston lowered his gaze and cleared his throat. Extinguishing his cigarette, he said, âIâll repeat what I said in the private room.â
He frowned, looking at Millie with a seriousness and patience he had never shown before. Firmly, he repeated, âIâll do whatever you want me to do.â
Millie nodded decisively. âAlright. Letâs get a divorce.â
Winston crushed the cigarette butt and gave a determined nod. âOkay. When are you free?â
âIâm not available today. Iâm scheduled to assist Dr. Quinn in surgery this afternoon. How about tomorrow morning?â Millie suggested gently.

âDonât you like sleeping in?â
âBut Iâm working tomorrow.â They walked out together, and everything seemed completely natural.
Millie narrowed her eyes and pointed at him. âBut how do you know that I like to sleep in, Mr. Greer? Have you been secretly paying attention to me?â
âYou stood out a lot, so thereâs no need to pay special attention to you,â he replied casually.

The two went their separate ways at the entrance of the café. Millie headed toward the hospital, while Winston stopped next to his car and looked back. She left with determination. If Millie had asked him to stay, heâ¦
On her way to the hospital, Millie texted Rachel, âIâm finally going to divorce Winston this time.â
Rachel: âYouâve tried to get a divorce multiple times but havenât succeeded. Are you sure you can finalize it tomorrow?â
Millie: âNo one can stop i
from divorcing this time.â
Rachel: âWow! It seems like youâve really let it go.â
Millie: âIâm not going to be a pushover forever.â
Rachel: âWell done! Iâll treat you to a drink once I get back from shooting the commercial.â
After turning off her phone, Millie continued to the hospital. Winston watched her as she walked away.
He reached into the carâs glove compartment and pulled out an ID card. His gaze shifted from Millieâs retreating figure to the card in his ha
