The call wasn’t answered by Joshua Thompson.
She hurriedly asked: “What happened to him?”
“He had a car accident. You should notify his other family members.”
With a loud “boom”, Molly Walker stood dumbfounded in place, not even noticing that the caller had hung up.
How could Joshua Thompson have been in a car accident!
His driving skills were so good.
Molly Walker stayed dazed for a few seconds, then immediately started running in the direction of two girls who had just arrived.
Michael Gallagher grabbed her and asked in a deep voice: “Where are you going?”
Molly Walker was chilled to the bone, her voice weak and anxious: “Joshua
Thompson had a car accident. I have to go and see him.”
Watching Molly Walker staggering away, Michael Gallagher stared at her receding figure, his eyes frosty.
The assistant in the car popped her head out, sighing.
“She cares so much about the third son of the Thompson family, the lady possibly really cheated.”
“Shut up.” Michael Gallagher gave her a cold glance before quickly walking away.
Isabelle Richardson saw Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher from afar. Her eyes lit up, and she hurried over.
“Have you finished the procedures?” Unable to hide her inner joy, her tone was light.
Molly Walker completely ignored her and started to run again. Not getting an answer, Isabelle Richardson stubbornly followed them.
“Michael, your divorce papers…”
“Not done yet.” Michael Gallagher’s voice was also impatient.
Isabelle Richardson paused, forcing a smile: “Then where are you going now? Isn’t the Civil Affairs Bureau right next door?”
As long as Michael Gallagher and Molly Walker don’t divorce, she will always be seen as the other woman and will be nailed on the pillar of shame.
Molly Walker was already worried about Joshua Thompson. Hearing Isabelle Richardson talking was like listening to a buzzing fly.
She stopped, glancing coldly at Michael Gallagher: “Can you control your woman? She’s really annoying.”
Michael Gallagher remained silent, taking a passing glance at Isabelle Richardson. Her face turned red instantly: “l was just kindly reminding you to save you from going the wrong way.”
She knew exactly what Isabelle Richardson was thinking, she coldly replied: “l don’t need your reminder.”
She and Michael Gallagher would get a divorce sooner or later, but Isabelle Richardson’s behavior was getting unbearable.
Seeing Molly Walker’s harsh words, Isabelle Richardson’s eyes reddened, she moved closer to Michael Gallagher, but he walked too fast as if he didn’t see her approaching and continued walking with Molly Walker.
Isabelle Richardson didn’t know what had happened ahead and didn’t dare to ask, so she just trailed behind them like a puppy.
When they got to the crowded area, Isabelle Richardson stopped.
Molly Walker rushed into the crowd and saw Joshua Thompson, drenched in blood, being carried into an ambulance.
“Joshua Thomoson!” Molly Walker’s voice was weak as she sorinted over.
The nurse immediately stopped her: “Are you a relative of the patient?” Without thinking, Molly Walker nodded.
“Then get in the car. The procedures need to be handled by a relative.”
After Molly Walker got into the ambulance, Michael Gallagher also got in.
Sighting the remains of the luxury car crashed beyond recognition, Isabelle Richardson stayed frozen in place.
Using such an extreme way to eliminate Joshua Thompson, she suddenly felt chillingly.
She quickly opened her cell phone, seeing a text message: It’s done.
After reading it, she promptly deleted the message.
Seeing that Michael Gallagher had also gotten into the ambulance, Isabelle Richardson tried to appear calm and attempted to get in too, but Molly Walker pushed her away.
Molly Walker’s eyes were frigid as ice: “You and Joshua Thompson aren’t related, so there’s no need for you to go.”
The nurse hurriedly closed the door.
Watching the car howling away, Isabelle Richardson felt both angry and anxious.
Michael wasn’t a relative of Michael Gallagher, so why did he go?
Molly’s insinuation- could it be she figured out who I am?
In the ambulance, Molly watched the nurse administer emergency care to Joshua Thompson, who’s face was covered in blood. She held her breath, tears welling up in her eyes.
These days, she’s grown to consider Joshua a friend and family member. The thought that he was in a car accident while picking her up intensified her feelings of guilt.
Seeing her in such distress reminded Michael Gallagher of the night her grandmother died, she was like this, as though abandoned by the world.
“The car seriously damaged; it was hit by a large truck, and the driver fled the scene.” Michael Gallagher hesitated a bit before sharing the news he had just learned with her, hoping to distract her.
Upon hearing the driver had fled, Molly looked up at him.
“Don’t worry, the police are on it.”
Molly nodded, contemplating how Michael Gallagher had joined her in the car. She wanted to ask him why, but in the end, she didn’t.
It was normal for him to want to help, having known Joshua for many years.
Michael Gallagher’s handsome face was cool and composed, with black eyes narrowed as if they could scorch her.
At the Thompson family’s villa, Daniel Thompson was still basking in the joy of finding his daughter.
Damian Thompson and Nicholas Thompson were seated in the living room, their eyes flicking towards the door from time to time.
“Why hasn’t Joshua arrived yet? Didn’t he say he was going to give us a surprise?” Nicholas Thompson picked up a book, obviously bored, and started reading.
“He’ll be here soon.” Damian Thompson laughed, his eyes shining with excitement.
It was rare for Joshua to formally assemble them like this. Since he said it was a surprise, it must have been big news.
Just then, Daniel Thompson’s cell phone rang.
Everybody’s attention shifted to his phone.
Seeing that it was the director of the Central Hospital, his old friend, on the caller ID, Daniel Thompson answered cheerfully, “Why the sudden call today?” “Old Thompson, you need to get to the hospital. Your son was hit by a car.”
Daniel Thompson jumped up, his cell phone dropping to the floor with a clatter.
The director’s voice carried, and everyone in the room heard clearly.
“The situation is not good; prepare yourself.”
Daniel Thompson’s vision darkened as he fell backward, his eyes closing.
“Dad!”
Outside the emergency room, Molly dumped herself on the floor, collapsing.
All the way here, she did not dare look at Joshua’s face.
The guilt was overwhelming.
“It’s all my fault…” If only she hadn’t called Joshua, the accident might not have happened.
“It’s not your fault.” Michael Gallagher’s eyes darkened. He crouched down to look at her trembling shoulders, resisting the urge to pull her into his arms.
Suppressing his emotions, he spoke in a low, gruff voice, “There’s something fishy about this accident. Surveillance shows the truck was following him the whole time. It could be intentional.’
If it was intentional, then she had nothing to do with it.
Composing himself, Michael Gallagher watched her sit motionless and felt a tightness in his chest.
At that moment, a few people rushed over in a panic.
It was Damian Thompson and Nicholas Thompson.
Upon seeing Molly, the look on Nicholas’s face darkened terribly. He advanced on her step by step.
“Wasn’t Joshua going to pick you up? Why is he the one in there, and you’re out here unharmed?”
Molly remained silent, her crouched body trembling.
Nicholas grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her up, “Why? Tell me why? He said he was bringing you to us for a surprise.. Is this your surprise?”
