Chapter 41 - 41: Don’t You Feel Guilty?

Translator: 549690339

“How did you get involved with Joshua Thompson?” The man’s words were filled with strong dissatisfaction, “l thought you would let us take action after your grandmother’s death, but when I contacted you, it was about investigating another man…”

Molly Walker did not respond, patiently waiting for him to finish complaining.

After the complaint, the man immediately realized that he was too agitated.

It wasn’t his place to tell her what to do, after all.

The man guiltily said, “I’m sorry I got too excited, I’ll look into it right away.”

“Yes, find out who’s behind it.’

She had heard the conversation between Michael Gallagher and Damian Thompson clearly; Joshua’s incident was no accident.

She could deal with her grandmother’s issue herself, without needing the organization’s involvement. However, the complicated reasons behind Joshua’s incident forced her to use her connections with the organization.

After hanging up the phone, Molly headed towards the hospital. As she arrived at its entrance, a voice called out to her.

It was Gillian Thompson.

Seeing Molly, Gillian was filled with both anger and jealousy.

Isabelle Richardson had shown her the test results; Molly Walker was indeed the long-lost Ivy Thompson of the Thompson family.

She greedily stared at Molly’s face. wishing she were her.

“Miss Thompson.” Molly called her coldly.

Since the last water incident, Molly had no good feelings for Gillian for violating her privacy and framing her.

Seeing Molly being cold and distant, Gillian was not annoyed, but instead looked her up and down as they walked together.

“l heard my brother was hit by a car while on his way to pick you up?”

Molly stood still, her gaze cold.

Gillian’s icy words contained sharp barbs, striking directly at one’s heart, “If it wasn’t for you, my third brother wouldn’t have been in an accident. Don’t you feel guilty?”

Her words were like knives, each piercing through.

However, Molly was not impressed.

“My guilt is towards Joshua Thompson, what does it have to do with you?”

Her languid voice was like a kitten scratching at one’s heart.

Gillian’s face turned ugly.

“Miss Thompson, I don’t know what grudge you have against me, but I have a bad temper. It’s best you don’t provoke me.” Molly walked toward the elevator, and Gillian followed.

Feigning not to notice her, Molly stepped out of the elevator while Gillian bumped into her on purpose.

“Oh, I’m sorry, who told you to block the way?”

Gillian walked out arrogantly, and Molly scoffed, “Gillian, what road did I really block for you?”

“Snooping on my privacy and keeping me from getting along with the Thompson family. What are you really afraid of?”

She was no fool, and could see through Gillian’s schemes and tactics.

Gillian looked away nervously.

“Ridiculous, l, Gillian Thompson, have never been afraid of anyone.” Gillian lifted her chin and glanced at Molly, “l just don’t like you. What’s wrong with bullying you? Come on, bully me back.”

Gillian closed in, her mind filled with the scenes of bullying Molly, who had no family backing.

How would it matter even if a person without family support was bullied?

As long as she was there, she would ensure Ivy Thompson would never return home.

She arrogantly reached out to pinch Molly’s face, but her fingers were immediately caught in a tight grip by Molly.

A sharp pain spread from her fingers to her whole body, and Gillian looked at Molly in disbelief, not understanding how a delicate girl could have such strength.

“Let go!” She tried to pull away, but Molly held onto her fingers in a strange posture, making her unable to move.

Pain spread in waves from her fingers.

Gillian Thompson’s eyes filled with tears of pain as she couldn’t pry the fingers open with her other hand.

People in the elevator came and went, watching the scene unfold.

Gillian Thompson’s face flushed red.

Unable to bear the pain, Gillian tried to grab Molly Walker’s hair, but Molly quickly caught her hand and pushed her away forcefully. Gillian fell to the ground.

“What are you doing?” Nicholas Thompson rushed out from the corridor, yelling angrily, and hurriedly helped Gillian up.

He looked at Molly Walker, his clear eyes filled with anger, “l never thought you could be so vicious.”

He had never imagined that Molly Walker could have such a side if he had not seen it with his own eyes.

Indifference and ferocity were fully displayed on her actions.

“I’m not as vicious as her,” Molly sneered. If Gillian hadn’t attacked her, she wouldn’t have bothered to retaliate. She walked towards the corridor, but Nicholas quickly blocked her way.

“You’re not allowed in!”

Molly stopped.

“Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have a good relationship with Joshua. The swimming pool incident can be forgiven, but I just saw you bullying my sister. How do you explain that?”

“Miss Walker, please apologize!’

Nicholas Thompson extended his hand to block her at the door, clearly not wanting her to enter.

Gillian squeezed out a few tears, standing beside Nicholas, complaining,

“Brother, my hand hurts so much. It feels like it’s broken.”

She lifted her wrist and swung it, with some fingers drooping, as if it was really broken.

Molly sneered. It was a pity that Gillian didn’t join the Oscars.

“Mr. Thompson, I don’t have time to argue with you right now. You can ask your sister about the specific situation. Apologizing is out of the question, as this was just self-defense.” She tried to walk around Nicholas to check on Joshua’s condition, but he used his body to block her path.

“Miss Walker, my brother is now unconscious because of you. My father has ordered that only family members can visit him, so please stop your current behavior.’

Family, of course, she was not Joshua’s family.

Molly stopped and nodded slightly, “Alright, then I won’t go in.”

Seeing that she was so easy-going, Nicholas frowned and told Gillian, “Let’s go.”

Watching Gillian and Nicholas leave, Molly stood there for a moment, then went downstairs.

Nicholas had just mentioned that Joshua was still in a coma.

Guilt, how could she not feel guilty.

Joshua was her friend after all!

Slowly walking downstairs, she was about to push open the door of her mother-in-law’s hospital room when she heard laughter and lively conversation inside.

“Aunt, do you like the food I made? If you like it, I’ll make more for you.” It was Isabelle’s voice.

“l like it, I like everything you make. But I’d like it even more if you called me Mom.” Lana’s voice was filled with joy.

Hearing these words, Molly knew that her mother-in-law’s memory had not yet returned.

Pushing open the door, she saw Isabelle feeding her mother-in-law.

When Lana saw her, her expression was no longer as resistant as before.

Isabelle’s eyes flashed for a moment. She put the bowl aside and said to Lana, “l have something to discuss with Miss Walker. Aunt, wait for me, please.”

She walked over quickly, and softly closed the door behind her.

“Did you get a divorce?” Isabelle asked expectantly.

Molly smiled slightly, and whispered, “Miss Richardson, you don’t know about the cooling-off period after filing for divorce? Too bad you’ll have to wait another month.’

“It doesn’t matter.” Isabelle grinned. “I’ve waited this long, I can wait another month.’

“Over the next month, I can prepare my wedding properly.. I’d even like to invite Miss Walker to be my witness! “
