“Oh…” Molly Walker’s eyes curved with laughter, “How long do I need to cheer her up? Do I have to please her whenever she’s unhappy, and let her beat and scold me? For Miss Thompson’s sake, I’d willingly be her servant without regret?”
Nicholas Thompson’s pupils constricted, and after a brief hesitation, he slowly averted his gaze: “I know you don’t like her, but you’re also part of the
Thompson family. She can’t accept amputation surgery in this state. Can’t you just comfort her so she can accept the surgery?”
“Why should I?” Molly’s lips curled up, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes, “What does it have to do with me whether she has surgery or not? If she doesn’t get the surgery, it’s her own fault. Why should I sacrifice my time to placate someone I dislike?”
“Leaving that aside, do you really think she’d willingly listen to me if I were to comfort her?” Molly looked at him, feeling more ridiculous by the second.
“How would you know if you don’t try? Molly, you’re part of the Thompson family, can’t you just…”
“Stop!” She waved her hand and retreated a few steps, “You keep saying I’m part of the Thompson family, but have I enjoyed any benefits from that? ”
As Nicholas Thompson’s face darkened, Molly felt even more frustrated with this so-called family relationship.
“I haven’t enjoyed any privileges, yet I’m supposed to fulfill my obligations in advance. It’s better if I don’t recognize this family at all. At least, no one used to force me to deal with a psychopath.” Molly sneered, rolling her eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
Damian Thompson heard the commotion and came over.
Seeing Molly and Nicholas both looking unhappy, astonishment flickered in Damian’s beautiful eyes.
Molly glanced at Nicholas and coldly stated, “I have other matters to attend to. I’m leaving first.”
She turned and walked away without any hesitation, and Damian didn’t even have the chance to stop her.
Damian frowned at his younger brother, “What did you do?”
Molly’s cold attitude seemed somewhat unusual.
“I just asked her to persuade Gillian, but she was very resistant and even said she would rather not acknowledge us.” Nicholas was a little angry, didn’t they all now belong to the same family? Was there really a need to differentiate so clearly?
“I think she’s just prejudiced against me. If Joshua asked her for help, she would definitely help.”
Hearing his younger brother’s words, Damian’s gaze turned cold, “Do you really think Joshua would ask her to do this kind of favor?”
Nicholas remained silent.
“Nicholas, 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?” Damian sighed, “We have no right to demand her to treat us like family immediately. What’s more, our whole family should be humbler in front of her. You have even less right to demand anything from her. Don’t blame me for not warning you, if one day she recognizes everyone but not you, I wouldn’t be surprised.” 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, “Be more clear-headed before you speak next time.”
Damian glanced in the direction Molly had left.
They had to discuss with the old man soon about picking a date to announce Molly’s identity.
After leaving, Molly went straight to Joshua’s hospital room.
Standing in the corridor, she remembered how Nicholas had coldly said she wasn’t 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 Joshua’s hospital room, but before she could enter, an apple rolled to her feet and arguing voices came from the room.
“I think you got hit by a car, or had your head crushed by a car!”
“Riley Wallace, damn it, I’m a patient now, have some humanity!”
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.
“Alright, seeing how agile you are, you should be fine.” Riley Wallace placed her hands on her hips, casually lying down on a chair next to her. She glanced over and saw Molly.
Riley’s awkward expression froze on her face, and she immediately sat up straight.
“You finally came to see me?” Seeing Molly, Joshua put on a mournful face, “This hospital is really not for people.”
“You have to stay until you get better.” Riley glanced at him disdainfully, then turned her head and greeted Molly with a smile, “You’re Molly, right? The jewelry designer from Gallagher Group’s Flying Star Studio.”
Molly didn’t expect anyone to still remember her position. Nowadays, people who meet her subconsciously think of Michael Gallagher’s ex-wife and didn’t expect anyone to notice what she did.
“I really like the jewelry designs from Gallagher Group, half of my accessories are from Flying Star, and you’re the main designer of Flying Star. I’ve even looked up information about you.” 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.
“I love your designs.”
“Thank you.” Molly smiled sincerely, knowing that Riley genuinely liked her designs.
“I heard that this year’s International Jewelry Festival will be held in
Orientopia, and Gallagher Group is shortlisted. You’ll be attending, right?” Riley excitedly asked, “You have to attend! Our Sunnydale City only has one company shortlisted, so it’s up to you to bring glory to Sunnydale!” Riley patted her shoulder.
Molly’s 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.
“I’m not sure if I can attend yet. But thank you for telling me this.” She looked at Joshua, “Seeing that you’re alright, I feel relieved. I’m going back to
Gallagher for a while, and I’ll come to see you again after I deal with my work.”
Joshua, fatigued, waved his hand, “Go ahead, be careful not to be deceived by Michael Gallagher’s sweet words again. With your current status, he’s the one who doesn’t deserve you.”
Molly couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Whether he deserves her or not didn’t matter anymore. Since she had already left, she wouldn’t 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 Molly’s 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.
“You finally returned my call.” Upon answering the phone, Harry shared the news he had found, “By the way, we found the person who hit Joshua..”
