Chapter 197
Millie looked up and noticed the blood dripping from the back of Winstonâs hand. She couldnât help but glare at him. âArenât you the same?â
âDo good deeds without expecting a reward.â Winston suddenly stood at the exact spot where Cara had been standing.
Upon seeing that, Millieâs heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, he turned and asked, âMillie, do you remember saying that you wanted to jump off the building before?â
Millie was rendered speechless.
âYou probably donât remember. Let me help jog your memory.â Winston found it intriguing and couldnât resist crouching before her.
He smiled and said, âLast year, you sent me a message one night. You said you were unwell and that if I didnât return, you would jump off the building and ask me to retrieve your body.â
Millieâs expression grew gloomy. Indeed, she did say that. She was so dumb at the time. She would have said anything stupid just to threaten Winston.
Fortunately, she still valued her life. She didnât truly take risks with her life. Now, looking back, she wished she could smack some sense into her past self.
Upon seeing Millieâs agitated expression, Winston smiled and continued, âThree months ago, you also mentioned wanting to jump off a building because you hadnât seen me in over a month. Do you recall which building it was? You said it was the Greer Groupâ¦â
Millie turned, ready to leave, when Winston called out to her. âArenât you going to jump off the building now?â
Millie stopped. Caraâs experience served as a powerful wakeâup call for her. Such actions. wouldnât attract menâs attention, but instead, would only repel them.
Love could not be forced. It was a natural feeling that blossomed between two people.
Millie turned and smiled at Winston. âI wonât do that again. I wonât jump off the building for you anymore, and I wonât do any other stupid thing for you either.â
Her smile was radiant. The light from the rooftop illuminated her, like a reminder of her original self. Back in high school, she always greeted him with that same smile and called his name, âWin!â
It had been a while since she had smiled at him like that. He couldnât pinpoint exactly when it had begun, but tensions had been rising between the two of them,
