In the midst of Lisa's chatter, Chloe picked up on a few tidbits she hadn't heard before. When Tara first gave her the emerald pendant, she couldn't pin down its origins either, only mentioning it was a gift from some bigwig when Chloe was born. Lisa had casually dropped a reference to the Shaw family. The Shaw family? Chloe's curiosity was piqued, but she didn't think too much about it.
Still, the mention of the Shaw family nudged Chloe to think of Winston. She remembered she was out of those sleeping pills she got last time. Time for a refill since insomnia was a regular unwelcome guest in her life. Lately, though, things had been looking up. After a long day, snuggling into Connor's arms, she managed to catch a few solid hours of sleep, sometimes even sleeping in. Maybe soon, she could ditch the meds altogether.
Chloe made her way to Winston's private clinic. Winston greeted her with a smile: "You're looking great." Chloe sank into a comfy sofa, feeling relaxed: "Yeah, I've been in a pretty good mood lately."
"Really thinking about tying the knot?" he asked. Chloe nodded: "You'll definitely get an invite." "I wouldn't miss it," he assured her. They chatted like old pals. Maybe because Winston was her go-to doctor, Chloe always felt a sense of ease around him, as if she could trust him implicitly, even without words.
During their chat, Winston took a call, speaking softly. Once he hung up, Chloe, ever curious, asked, "Girlfriend?" Winston chuckled, “Just a client. No girlfriend here.” Chloe shrugged, “Too bad mywork's pretty small, or I'd totally set you up.”
Winston was the kind of guy women

Cassie had moved to Riverbrook, transitioning from managing the Gilbert family's car factory to launching her own bar, which was about to open, Despite being Chloe's best friend, Cassie and Winston seemed like an odd pair.
Cassie was a tomboy through and through, often mistaken for being gay. But Chloe knew better. Cassie was straight as an arrow and

secret only Chloe knew. Winston's gentle, bookish vibe wasn't exactly Cassie's type, so Chloe didn't play matchmaker.
Coincidentally, Cassie called Chloe, inviting her to the bar, promising a crowd of good-looking folks. Rising, Chloe casually mentioned, "Hey, D Winston my friend's bar is opening. Fancy a drink?" Winston shook his head: "I'm busy overseeing O renovations at the old mansion in Greenview Hills. You go have fun." Content belongs to
Chloe hadn't expected him to come, so she left it at that. To her surprise, Cassie bailed on her. "Chloe, I'm sorry, but Mrs. Wang's having chest pains. I need to check on her." "No worries, go take care of her," Chloe replied.
Mrs. Wang was like family, having been Cassie's nanny since she was little. She followed Cassie back to the Gilbert family and then to Riverbrook. Now, they were living in the Greenview Hills mansion, Cassie's childhood home.
