Chapter 356
Eli smiled. âI was just asking. Thereâs nothing to it.â
With that, he left. Millie watched him leave, feeling puzzled. The name Sonny Alpers sounded familiar to her. Suddenly, she remembered seeing that name in the emergency
ly, she remembered seeing that name in the department.
He was that prisoner. He appeared to still be in the hospital. However, Millie didnât understand why Eli asked if she knew him.
Sonny was lying in bed watching TV when Eli entered the ward. His expression immediately turned sour at the sight of him.
âNice and comfortable?â Eli entered and gazed out the window. The hospital view was pretty good.
Sonny remained quiet, just watching TV.
âAre you almost fully recovered?â Eli asked coldly, crossing his arms. âI assume youâll be able to return to prison soon.â
Sonny hesitated before turning to Eli. âWhat do you want?â
Eli approached him with a solemn expression and demanded, âIâm going to ask you a question, and I expect a truthful response.â
Sonny replied irritably, âArenât you tired of asking me who saved Winston? Youâve asked this question countless times.â
âSince youâre aware of my question, then answer me honestly. Who saved Mr. Greer?â Eli was skeptical that it was Joanna who had saved Winston.
Judging from her actions over the years, it was clear that she was someone who would go to any lengths to accomplish her ambitions. Given her selfish nature, it seemed impossible that she would willingly put herself at risk for Winston.
Eli had a strong and imposing presence, much like Winston. After spending many years with Winston, he had also become formidable. At that moment, Sonny noticed that Eliâs gaze resembled Winstonâs.
He didnât want to lie, but Joanna was threatening him, so he felt helpless. He found himself in danger at the prison a few times. He understood that it was Joanna who caused all these troubles.
She was scared that he would reveal the truth, so she wanted to kill him. Additionally, Joanna took his child away, leaving him with no power to retaliate.

âYouâre quite funny. You keep asking the same question, yet you seem to doubt my words.â Sonny sneered, clearly attempting to shift the conversation.
âIs someone threatening you?â Eli asked.
âIâm not being threatened by anyone!â Sonny exclaimed in frustration. âJust what kind of person is Winston? Despite Joanna saving him, he still doubts the truth. Sheâd be truly upset if she knew!â
Sonny glared at Eli. âDoes she know that you keep coming to me? Huh?â
Eli grabbed Sonny by the neck and shouted, âSonny!â

this one last time! It was Joanna who saved Winston! Joanna! Thereâs a scar on Joannaâs back. I wounded her with a dagger. I pushed Joanna into the water, and she nearly drowned.â
Eli was confused, and his heart raced as he heard Sonnyâs words. He even started to believe Sonny and wondered if Joanna really did save Winston.
âIf I were Winston, I would marry Joanna immediately. She risked her life for him, and yet he still doubts her. A man like him should just die!â
Upon hearing his words, Eli punched him in the face. âYou have no right to judge what Mr. Greer does!â
He punched Sonny so hard that Sonny almost lost a few teeth. Then, he got up and walked out furiously.
Sonny collapsed on the bed after seeing Eli leave. He couldnât help but close his eyes and laugh, tears falling from his eyes.
