Chapter 406: Chapter 403: I Am Wrong
Jeremy Norman’s appearance shattered the tranquility in the hospital room.
Molly glanced at Joshua Thompson peeking outside the door and understood in her heart.
Third brother did this on purpose, bringing Jeremy here.
Molly gave Jeremy a gentle smile: “My mom said you brought me to the hospital, I haven’t had a chance to thank you yet.”
“There’s no need to be so polite between us.” Jeremy’s gaze fell on Michael Gallagher, his tone mocking, “I should also thank a certain someone’s masterpiece, otherwise I wouldn’t have the chance to play the hero.”
It was Jeremy who brought Molly to the hospital twice, and Michael initiated the incidents both times.
Michael’s face was cold as frost, his eyes narrowed, ambiguous smile, dangerous aura on his face.
Jeremy’s words were openly and covertly ridiculing him.
As the two men stared at each other, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Molly was silent for a moment, then said to Michael, “You should go first.”
She knew all the things she should and shouldn’t say.
Michael’s distinct hand bones tightly grasped Molly’s hand: “I want to stay here with you.”
As soon as the words fell, he raised his eyes, glanced like a ghost at Jeremy, almost imperceptibly.
Jeremy looked at the two clasped hands, the corners of his lips slightly raised, his eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.
He lowered his head, struggling to suppress the jealousy in his heart.
Although they were already divorced, Michael had more qualification to be close to her than he did.
It was simply that he had arrived too late.
But from now on, he would never let go again!
Molly was somewhat helpless in the face of the tense standoff between the two men.
Even the smallest things could turn into competition between men.
She said to Michael, “You should go first. My brother and mom will take care of me tonight.”
She didn’t say out loud that if her mother saw him, she might get angry.
Her mother and uncle blamed Michael for the abortion. If they saw him, it would only intensify the conflict.
Seeing Molly determined to let Michael go first, he was not angry, but tactfully stood up.
“I’ll come to accompany you tomorrow.” His voice was gentle and firm.
Molly’s lips parted slightly, but Jeremy had already responded before her: “Don’t bother yourself. Molly is being discharged tomorrow. Aunt Leaford said she wants me to pick her up.”
Michael smiled, but his eyes didn’t reach the smile.
Molly…
Such an intimate address.
He looked at Jeremy, his eyes full of hidden meaning: “Can I have a word with you outside?”
Jeremy hesitated for a moment before nodding.
As the two men left, Joshua Thompson hurried in and casually sat down in the chair beside them.
“How’s it going? Have you clarified everything?” Joshua raised his eyebrows, with a hint of indulgence and laziness.
Molly nodded: “I said everything I should and shouldn’t say.”
“There’s nothing you shouldn’t say, he did so many wrong things, you can do whatever you want.” Joshua leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, smiling wildly, and his brows relaxed, “It’s good that you’ve clarified everything. Just have less contact with this man in the future.”
Joshua scoffed, his tone slightly chilly: “If it wasn’t for him, my nephew wouldn’t have had an accident.”
Molly looked down at the palm of her hand, speaking softly, “Actually… I’m also at fault.”
Joshua immediately sat up straight: “What’s your fault? It’s all his fault! Michael is a real disaster and a scumbag.”
“Ivy, I know that you lived in a relatively innocent circle before. I understand the wealthy circles in Sunnydale better than you do. Those scions who drink wine and enjoy themselves every day, there’s hardly any of them who are clean.”
“Men all have bad instincts, not knowing how many women they’ve touched before marriage. You were innocent to begin with, how much do you really know about him?”
Molly didn’t speak.
She didn’t expect Joshua to be so blunt.
True to his name, her brother was indeed wild.
“You can’t condemn all people with one stroke.” Molly smiled lightly, “At least from my point of view, you and my other brother are clean.”
Joshua Thompson held his breath suddenly.
Was he going to say he wasn’t innocent either?
He had hugged women and held other women, but nothing had progressed to the critical point.
Men are easily tempted by women, he and his two brothers had remained chaste all these years because of their promises to their sister; otherwise, who could resist temptation?
A slender figure suddenly popped into his mind.
That silly woman, Riley Wallace, had gotten herself so thin for him that it was obvious she had malnutrition.
In the past few days, he had been so busy that he almost forgot about his “blind date” with Riley Wallace.
Riley Wallace had been frantically going on blind dates lately, with more than a dozen people lined up.
He had good luck and was ranked fourth in line.
He hoped that Riley Wallace, the fool, wouldn’t fall for someone before him.
Thinking of Riley Wallace reminded Joshua Thompson of Molly Walker, and he stood up annoyedly, “Never mind, you women are all love-crazy.”
Molly Walker’s recent words were all about protecting Michael Gallagher.
This Michael Gallagher, what kind of spell had he cast on his sister to bewitch her like this?
“For your sake, I’ll give him one more chance.” Joshua Thompson took a deep breath, “If I ever find out that he bullies you again, I’ll break his legs myself.”
Next time, it wouldn’t be just about splitting them up; he would directly target Michael Gallagher.
He’d give him a good beating first.
All Molly Walker could hear was his sentence, “you women are all love-crazy.”
She blinked and asked, “How’s it going with you and Riley Wallace?”
Ever since Molly Walker first met Riley Wallace, she thought the girl was like a sparring partner for Joshua Thompson.
She had thought neither of them would detect the subtle feelings between them, but Riley had taken the initiative to confess her love.
“Nothing’s finalized yet.” Joshua Thompson’s lips curved, revealing a beautiful arc, “When it comes to expressing love, it should be a man’s job.”
His beautiful peach blossom eyes were bright as stars, his nose was high, and his lips were red, looking very sexy.
Molly Walker saw his confident and arrogant attitude towards the relationship and kindly reminded him, “If you want to confess your love, do it as soon as possible, and don’t play any tricks. If a woman doesn’t get a response after confessing her love, she might try to forget you.”
“Don’t worry, I understand her.” Joshua Thompson laughed nonchalantly, “Her confession must be because her family was pushing her too hard, and she was frantically seeking help. Since her family arranged more than a dozen blind dates for her, she must finish meeting them all.”
Seeing his unconcerned attitude, Molly Walker frowned, “Why don’t you just tell her you like her directly? What if you miss your chance while beating around the bush?”
She and Michael Gallagher were the same – both had feelings for each other but had wasted so many years.
One didn’t dare to say it, and one didn’t want to say it.
Both were hesitant, so even the simplest communication couldn’t happen.
“Third brother, I advise you to confess your love as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you miss your chance, I’m afraid you’ll regret it.”
“Riley Wallace, the silly girl, has high standards. She won’t just marry anyone. Besides, how can she know my worth without comparing me to others?” Joshua Thompson’s lips twitched, with a teasing and provocative arc.
Molly Walker felt a sudden unease and had a bad feeling about it.
She couldn’t help but feel like her third brother was on the verge of messing up his love life.
The more she thought about it, the more risky it seemed, so she called No. 4 in front of Joshua Thompson.
“No. 4, help me check on Riley Wallace’s recent blind date status.”
“Okay.”
In less than two minutes, No. 4 had found the result.
“Found it.”
Seeing that Molly Walker could quickly find out about Riley Wallace just by making a phone call, Joshua Thompson’s mouth gaped slightly, and his face looked weird.
So this is the intelligence network of the “W” organization?
Could they find out all the information about others within just a few minutes?
Indeed, in the era of big data, there’s nothing scarier than knowing too much information.
Joshua Thompson felt a chill down his spine.
“Riley Wallace has successfully dated the third man.” No. 4 reported the information he found, “They are on their way to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now, and the marriage certificate is expected to be issued by three in the afternoon.”
