âOhâ¦â Molly Walkerâs eyes curved with laughter, âHow long do I need to cheer her up? Do I have to please her whenever sheâs unhappy, and let her beat and scold me? For Miss Thompsonâs sake, Iâd willingly be her servant without regret?â
Nicholas Thompsonâs pupils constricted, and after a brief hesitation, he slowly averted his gaze: âI know you donât like her, but youâre also part of the
Thompson family. She canât accept amputation surgery in this state. Canât you just comfort her so she can accept the surgery?â
âWhy should I?â Mollyâs lips curled up, but her smile didnât reach her eyes, âWhat does it have to do with me whether she has surgery or not? If she doesnât get the surgery, itâs her own fault. Why should I sacrifice my time to placate someone I dislike?â
âLeaving that aside, do you really think sheâd willingly listen to me if I were to comfort her?â Molly looked at him, feeling more ridiculous by the second.
âHow would you know if you donât try? Molly, youâre part of the Thompson family, canât you justâ¦â
âStop!â She waved her hand and retreated a few steps, âYou keep saying Iâm part of the Thompson family, but have I enjoyed any benefits from that? â
As Nicholas Thompsonâs face darkened, Molly felt even more frustrated with this so-called family relationship.
âI havenât enjoyed any privileges, yet Iâm supposed to fulfill my obligations in advance. Itâs better if I donât recognize this family at all. At least, no one used to force me to deal with a psychopath.â Molly sneered, rolling her eyes.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Damian Thompson heard the commotion and came over.
Seeing Molly and Nicholas both looking unhappy, astonishment flickered in Damianâs beautiful eyes.
Molly glanced at Nicholas and coldly stated, âI have other matters to attend to. Iâm leaving first.â
She turned and walked away without any hesitation, and Damian didnât even have the chance to stop her.
Damian frowned at his younger brother, âWhat did you do?â
Mollyâs cold attitude seemed somewhat unusual.
âI just asked her to persuade Gillian, but she was very resistant and even said she would rather not acknowledge us.â Nicholas was a little angry, didnât they all now belong to the same family? Was there really a need to differentiate so clearly?
âI think sheâs just prejudiced against me. If Joshua asked her for help, she would definitely help.â
Hearing his younger brotherâs words, Damianâs gaze turned cold, âDo you really think Joshua would ask her to do this kind of favor?â
Nicholas remained silent.
âNicholas, she has suffered outside for over twenty years. Father and I wanted her to feel warmth when she came home. She gets along well with Joshua because he has treated her like a sister from the beginning. And you?â Damian sighed, âWe have no right to demand her to treat us like family immediately. Whatâs more, our whole family should be humbler in front of her. You have even less right to demand anything from her. Donât blame me for not warning you, if one day she recognizes everyone but not you, I wouldnât be surprised.â Nicholas looked at Gillian lying on the bed, desolate, and dropped his gaze.
Not knowing whether he had taken it to heart, Damian patted his shoulder and said, âBe more clear-headed before you speak next time.â
Damian glanced in the direction Molly had left.
They had to discuss with the old man soon about picking a date to announce Mollyâs identity.
After leaving, Molly went straight to Joshuaâs hospital room.
Standing in the corridor, she remembered how Nicholas had coldly said she wasnât family and had no right to visit last time.
But what about now?
She finally had the right.
It turned out that Joshua was really her brother.
Joshua was probably the only warmth the Thompson family had given her.
With a calm heart, Molly walked to the door of Joshuaâs hospital room, but before she could enter, an apple rolled to her feet and arguing voices came from the room. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI think you got hit by a car, or had your head crushed by a car!â
âRiley Wallace, damn it, Iâm a patient now, have some humanity!â
Molly picked up the apple and looked into the room. A girl in a uniform angrily threw the apples in her hand at Joshua, who dodged one after another. After the last apple was thrown, the girl clapped her hands, finally out of breath.
âAlright, seeing how agile you are, you should be fine.â Riley Wallace placed her hands on her hips, casually lying down on a chair next to her. She glanced over and saw Molly.
Rileyâs awkward expression froze on her face, and she immediately sat up straight.
âYou finally came to see me?â Seeing Molly, Joshua put on a mournful face, âThis hospital is really not for people.â
âYou have to stay until you get better.â Riley glanced at him disdainfully, then turned her head and greeted Molly with a smile, âYouâre Molly, right? The jewelry designer from Gallagher Groupâs Flying Star Studio.â
Molly didnât expect anyone to still remember her position. Nowadays, people who meet her subconsciously think of Michael Gallagherâs ex-wife and didnât expect anyone to notice what she did.
âI really like the jewelry designs from Gallagher Group, half of my accessories are from Flying Star, and youâre the main designer of Flying Star. Iâve even looked up information about you.â Riley raised her wrist.
On her wrist, a silver bracelet shimmered. Molly could see at a glance that it was a new design she had created for Gallagher this year.
âI love your designs.â
âThank you.â Molly smiled sincerely, knowing that Riley genuinely liked her designs.
âI heard that this yearâs International Jewelry Festival will be held in
Orientopia, and Gallagher Group is shortlisted. Youâll be attending, right?â Riley excitedly asked, âYou have to attend! Our Sunnydale City only has one company shortlisted, so itâs up to you to bring glory to Sunnydale!â Riley patted her shoulder.
Mollyâs eyes were enigmatic. She had always wanted to participate in the International Jewelry Festival, but because it would reveal her identity, she had been unable to attend.
But if Gallagher was shortlisted, she could participate as a designer for the company.
It seemed that she had to return to Gallagher one more time.
âIâm not sure if I can attend yet. But thank you for telling me this.â She looked at Joshua, âSeeing that youâre alright, I feel relieved. Iâm going back to
Gallagher for a while, and Iâll come to see you again after I deal with my work.â
Joshua, fatigued, waved his hand, âGo ahead, be careful not to be deceived by Michael Gallagherâs sweet words again. With your current status, heâs the one who doesnât deserve you.â
Molly couldnât help but laugh and cry.
Whether he deserves her or not didnât matter anymore. Since she had already left, she wouldnât look back.
Although Michael was her first man, she might not have been his first woman.
Thinking of that passionate night, bitterness welled up in Mollyâs heart.
It was obvious that she and Michael had been drugged that night. After they had sex, he was convinced she was the one responsible. To prove her innocence, she had to request a divorce. Later, when Isabelle returned, she really wanted to leave.
She would be genuinely free in just a little while longer.
Leaving the hospital, she noticed that she had missed a call from Harry Lambert on her cell phone.
âYou finally returned my call.â Upon answering the phone, Harry shared the news he had found, âBy the way, we found the person who hit Joshua..â
