Just then, Joshua Thompson came out of the room, and seeing Nicholas Thompson standing by Molly Walker, looking like he had something to say but was hesitant, he quickly shielded Molly behind him: “Nicholas Thompson, what are you trying to do now?”

Before Nicholas could speak, Joshua warned him, “Haven’t you done enough stupid things already? Don’t disappoint Fourth Sister anymore!”

Although Joshua didn’t know what Nicholas had done, he subconsciously felt that it wasn’t anything good.

Seeing Joshua’s reaction, Nicholas took a deep breath and asked resentfully, “Joshua, am I really so despicable in your heart? Also, I’m your second brother. What do you mean by calling me by my name directly!”

“It doesn’t matter, you’re not acting like a brother anyway. I’ll call you brother when Ivy calls you that.” Joshua crossed his arms, scoffing casually. “As long as you don’t make things difficult for Fourth Sister, everything’s fine.”

“Joshua, Gillian is missing!” Nicholas was so angry that he couldn’t find the right words. “I want to ask Fourth Sister to help, how is that making things difficult for her?”

“If she’s missing, she’s missing. What does it have to do with Ivy?!” Joshua glanced at him disdainfully. “Don’t disgust us using Gillian’s case. If you keep on helping her, I won’t care about brotherly affection and will beat you until you can’t find your teeth.” Seeing the two about to quarrel at the entrance of the hospital room, Molly hurriedly said, “Let’s go back first. Dad is still waiting for us at home.”

If they quarrel here, Amanda Leaford will worry again.

Joshua rolled his eyes at Nicholas, and he left side by side with Molly. When they reached the door of a hospital room, they heard the doctor inside yelling, “If you sneak out of the hospital and something happens, we won’t be responsible! You don’t even care about your life, getting injured like this and still daring to wander around!”

“Our hospital can’t afford to have patients like you. Transfer to another hospital. I can’t treat big shots like you.”

The furious doctor stormed out of the hospital room. Joshua found it interesting and said to Molly, “It’s rare to see a patient who could make a doctor give up treatment.”

Molly looked curiously into the room, and it made her stop in her tracks.

“What’s wrong?” Joshua looked curiously, and his eyes widened like he’d seen a ghost.

“Damn!”

He was so scared that he almost jumped, “This is Michael Gallagher?!”

In the room, Michael Gallagher was sitting on the hospital bed, wearing a simple white shirt, with an elongated figure and sharp-looking eyes. He had an IV bag hanging from his hand. Hearing Joshua’s voice, he turned his head slightly.

By sheer coincidence, his hospital room was not far from Daniel Thompson’s.

Joshua looked at him in disbelief for a while, suppressing his shock. He quickly approached and stared at Michael’s living face and became furious. He picked up a chair next to him and threw it at him.

Michael didn’t move, and the chair barely grazed past his ear.

When Joshua threw the chair, he had obviously calculated the distance to keep it from hitting Michael directly.

“Well, Michael Gallagher, you’re dead?” Thinking of Ivy’s condition back then, Joshua’s anger surged. “How are you still alive? How could you be alive! You know that Ivy for you ”

He paused, took a deep breath, grinding his teeth angrily, “Why didn’t you say you weren’t dead earlier? Do you know what the Gallagher family said about Ivy? Did you enjoy watching her suffer behind her back?!”

Michael glanced at Molly and coughed, his face turning slightly pale. “No.”

Seeing her in pain made his sleepless nights unbearable.

At that time, he had lost all courage due to guilt and had thought about letting go completely. But one cannot control their heart, not even his own thoughts.

If time could go back, he would definitely tell her that he was still alive and not keep her in the dark.

“Don’t say anything anymore.” Joshua glared at him coldly. “Michael Gallagher is already dead in our hearts, and don’t think of getting involved with Fourth Sister ever again.”

Thinking of Molly and Jeremy Norman’s engagement being annulled, Joshua asked in a low voice, “The annulment of your engagement with Jeremy Norman wasn’t because of Michael Gallagher, right?”

Molly hesitated for a moment and hurriedly explained, “It’s not entirely ”

“Fine!” Joshua had a wicked smile. “As long as my brother-in-law isn’t Michael Gallagher, anyone else is fine! But I will never allow him to get close to you again!”

Molly didn’t say anything, looked at Michael, and thought about his current identity. She wondered if she should remind Joshua that he was now Zachary Jenkins, not Michael Gallagher.

“The people of your Gallagher family really like playing with fake deaths. You guys have really made a cliché storyline clear.” Joshua was helpless and speechless. He thought that Fourth Sister could finally get rid of the scumbag and start a new life, but this guy came back to life!

Resurrected! Absolutely persistent like a lingering ghost!

Michael pressed his lips together, his gaze gently falling on Molly, and whispered, “Are you free tonight?”

“I’m not free!” Joshua Thompson immediately protected Molly Walker like a protective calf.

“Jeremy Norman is waiting for us at Uncle’s house. We can’t let my new brother-in-law wait too long.” Joshua deliberately raised his voice, especially when he said “new brother-in-law,” emphasizing the tone.

Molly smiled helplessly. Michael Gallagher had explained to her about his and Isabelle Richardson’s relationship, but Joshua didn’t know.

After nodding to Michael, she followed Joshua away.

Before leaving, she glanced at the sign on the door. The attending doctor was the director of the Orthopedics Department.

Orthopedics, did Michael Gallagher have a problem with his bones?

Before she could react, Joshua quickly pulled her away: “Let’s go, let’s go.”

Staying here for one more second would make him feel unlucky.

After everyone left, Michael took back his gaze, holding the diagnosis the doctor handed him, seeing the severity described in it, and thinking about what Joshua just said, his fingers slowly tightened.

Jeremy Norman still hadn’t given up, and the rest of the Thompson family hadn’t given up on Jeremy Norman, even though Sebastian Norman did such outrageous things.

Only then did Michael realize that the barrier between him and Molly was not just the emotional repair between the two, but also the Thompson and Leaford families.

If they didn’t agree, Molly and he would never have a future together.

The independent villa of the Leaford family had a light overall color, a high-ceilinged entrance hall, quite impressive, and a green lawn, lush and full of exotic charm.

James Leaford was cutting plants leisurely with long pruning shears in the garden.

The day after Ivy told him the truth, he made a sensation at a meeting of the company’s shareholders.

At first, no one believed him, until he slapped the evidence in front of them, and they were astonished, gaping in surprise.

“Mr. Leaford, your niece is amazing. She’s in the ‘W’ organization. Our company is going to be stable from now on.”

“That’s right, Mr. Leaford, you don’t have to worry about your daughter marrying a fool anymore.”

“Mr. Leaford, we’re so lucky. Thanks to your niece, we don’t have to be unemployed anymore. Now I have an explanation for my wife and children.”

“Yeah, I can brag about this for a lifetime!”

Hearing these flattering words from everyone, James Leaford was teary-eyed and full of enthusiasm.

Who could have imagined that Ivy was the leader of the “W” organization?!

He couldn’t even dare to dream that such a thing could be true!

“Dad, Cousin and her husband are on their way, and the dishes are ready,” Natalie Lambert took off her apron, her face full of smiles.

The crisis in the company was resolved, and she had put down her burden. Today, she had even cooked herself.

“I asked a friend to check the owner of the car that saved you last time, but I couldn’t find any information,” Natalie furrowed her pretty brows, “Dad, do you think that person might not have wanted to save you, and the crash was just an accident?”

Otherwise, after doing such a great thing, why wouldn’t they come forward to claim credit?

Thinking of the yellow sports car, James Leaford’s face became serious: “It wasn’t an accident. That person deliberately sacrificed their car to save me. If it weren’t for that car, I would have been long dead.”

Not only would he have died, but the truck driver would also have been in grave danger.

He was not an ungrateful person. Even if that person didn’t want any reward, he had to pay for their medical expenses and car repair costs. The Lamborghini’s collision damage would cost at least one hundred fifty thousand to repair.

“Keep looking. Ordinary people can’t afford that kind of car.”

James Leaford was determined to find the car owner.
