Chapter 391
In the end, Winston still went to the hospital. Lainey told him that Sonny might have been mistreated in prison, which was why his health suffered greatly.
Winston strode into the ward. There, he saw that all the monitoring equipment had been removed from Sonny.
Sonnyâs hand rested limply on the edge of the bed, and his eyes held a silent plea as he looked at Winston. He had something to say, but he couldnât speak.
Winston understood that Sonny had no further use. Allowing him to survive this long had been an act of mercy.
Winston leaned in, his gaze cold and menacing as he stared at Sonny. âSonny, Iâm asking you one last time. Was it Joanna who saved me back then?â he asked urgently.
Sonny looked at him, his eyes growing increasingly unfocused. His lips parted slightly, but his voice was too soft for Winston to hear.
Suddenly, he grabbed Winstonâs arm and gently traced a letter on his palm.
Winston frowned. âL?â
âLas in Joanna Lowell?â Winston pressed.
But Sonny continued to trace, over and over again. Just as Winston was about to ask further, Sonnyâs gaze shifted to the door.
Winston followed his line of sight and saw Millie standing there.
Sonny tightened his grip on Winstonâs sleeve. The latter turned back instantly. However, Sonnyâs eyes closed in the next second, and his hand fell.
Winstonâs presence confirmed Millieâs suspicions. Sonny was indeed the one who had abducted Winston years ago. He was also the mastermind who had stabbed her.
But what was Winston doing there? Was he there to see Sonny one last time?
After that, doctors and nurses entered the ward to handle Sonnyâs body.
Winston stepped back and grabbed Millie. Before he could speak, Eli suddenly barged in, saying, âMr. Greer, thereâs an urgent meeting.â
âCancel it,â Winston instructed as he led Millie out.
âI donât think thatâs possible,â Eli replied, handing Winston the phone. It was a call from one of the senior shareholders.
Eli glanced at the bed, only to see that Sonny was now covered with a white sheet,
Meanwhile, Millie pushed Winston away. She couldnât help but think he was acting strangely.
âMillie, wait for me. Iâll come find you once Iâm done,â Winston told her.

He then cast a quick look at Eli and ordered in a low voice, âLetâs return to the office.â
Eli nodded in response.

On the way back to the office, Winston kept tracing the letter that Sonny had written on his palm.
When they stopped at a red light, he said to Eli, âGive me your hand. Iâll write a letter and see if you can guess it.â
Though bewildered, Eli still extended his hand. Winston then imitated Sonnyâs movements.
Eli looked up and asked, âL? Mr. Greer, you asked him who saved you, and this was the answer he gave?â
Winston responded with a grunt. It was clear that the answer had disappointed him.
âYouâve asked so many times, but the answer is always Ms. Lowell. Maybe it really was her,â Eli remarked while looking into the distance.
Winston massaged his temples, unable to hide his fatigue.
âMr. Greer, if this meeting doesnât resolve the issue, you might have to take another trip,â Eli reported.
Winston said nothing.
Eli added, âMr. Greer, can your body handle it? You need to be careful with your wound.â
Winston hummed in response and closed his eyes. Why was it âLâ? For a moment, he wished it hadnât
been so.
âThe annual cruise party in Yerwick is coming up. Mr. Greer, Iâll make sure your formal wear is ready.â Eli glanced back and asked, âWill you be attending with Ms. Lowell?â
Winston simply nodded lightly. âEli,â he called out.
He lifted his head and wearily ordered, âI need you to check the medical records from the night of my abduction.â
Eli froze momentarily before promptly answering, âGat it!â
