Chapter 537: Chapter 532 – Young, Live Well, Good Health_1
 

Sunnydale First Hospital, VIP Intensive Care Unit.

Molly Walker leans against the edge of the bed, takes a bite from an apple in her hand, and squints her eyes in satisfaction: “Sweet.”

Michael Gallagher is peeling an orange for her. Upon hearing her words, he looks up and sees her like a satisfied little lazy cat.

Her small face, her eyes appear particularly large, her rosy, full lips shine like crystals, even more tempting than the crystal grapes in the plate next to her.

Only the bruise on her fair neck is particularly red.

Looking at it, Gallagher’s eyes darken: “The Hopkins family can’t stay any longer.”

Merely disabling a hand, of course, isn’t enough to vent his resentment.

He wishes he could repay this pain a hundred-fold, even a thousand-fold.

The well-being of the Hopkins Corporation matters the most to Ethan Hopkins. As long as the company goes bankrupt, it would cause a serious blow to Ethan.

“Don’t rush.” Molly finishes her apple, her cheek bulges slightly as she speaks, “I want to see what Ethan Hopkins and Gillian Thompson are up to.”

She hasn’t figured out what exactly it is that Gillian handed over to Ethan, she didn’t dare to act recklessly.

She’s not afraid of Ethan, but she’s afraid of him colluding with Samuel to play tricks on her.

In this era, she’s not afraid to confront it directly, but she fears when others act in the darkness.

While she is lost in thought, her eyes hooded, her cheeks busy munching, like a cute hamster.

Michael smirks, grabbing another apple to peel.

He is not good at peeling fruits, the apple he peels is rough and rugged, but she doesn’t mind and continues to nibble on it.

“The doctor said you can rest at home.” Michael raises his eyes, “I want to take you back to the Gallagher house.”

Molly pauses, her hand holding the apple still.

Back to the Gallagher house, back to where their marriage began?

The mansion that experienced a large fire has long been repaired. It is said that Michael even bought several adjacent villas and expanded it into a small estate.

“If you are unwilling, I can stay at your place.” Michael pauses, “I’m worried about you.”

Hearing about living together, the scene from that night suddenly surfaced in Molly’s mind.

It was different from their first time together. The last time was a much better experience.

She is a novice in this regard, and even tried to gather a lot of information afterward.

Michael is indeed… exceptionally gifted in this regard.

But if they lived together, they would probably…

Michael raises an eyebrow, slightly squinting his eyes: “Why is your face turning red?”

Her face, which was fair just now, flushed a deep red in an instant.

“No… nothing…” Molly coughs awkwardly, trying hard to suppress the stirring feelings within her.

Could it be that she’s of the age where she too has needs in that regard?

She remembered a collection of scientific research she once read. If a person has never had a wonderful experience in that field, they wouldn’t feel the need constantly. But once they experienced it, it could be as addictive as a drug.

Molly feels her face getting hotter. Under Michael’s suspicious eyes, she can only lie down and cover her face with a blanket: “I’ll go along with whatever you arrange.”

Her tone is cute and obedient, just like a delicate little feather, stirring his heart.

Michael’s throat goes dry, and worse, he has trouble controlling himself as he starts to react in certain places.

Michael clenches his teeth and stands up: “I’m going to get some fresh air.”

He walks out the door, and is just about to light a cigarette in the corridor when he hears a commotion.

“Jeremy Norman, I finally managed to lose the reporters, can you stop following me!” Olivia Sawyer’s voice is completely fed up.

Michael raises his eyebrow, and looks discreetly in the direction of the noise.

Olivia is wearing a black mask and dark sunglasses, and is bundled in thick cotton clothes as she races up the stairs.

From her behavior, it’s clear that she’s trying to hide from some reporters.

“I’m not trying to follow you, I… I also want to see Molly, after all, she’s my friend too.” There is a hint of embarrassment in Jeremy’s voice.

Jeremy is in a tracksuit, his face is also covered with the same black mask.

“You want to see her, just see her. Why are you following me up the stairs? Jeremy Norman, don’t think I don’t know that you’ve been lurking downstairs recently, acting like some creepy stalker. Are you full and just passing time?” As she thinks more about it, Olivia feels a chill run down her spine, “I really don’t know what I was thinking back then, how did I ever fall for you.”

Jeremy is silent upon hearing this. He stops in his tracks, looking at Olivia Sawyer with a complex expression. Just as he is about to say something, Olivia interrupts his thoughts with her next words.

“Luckily, I’m no longer into you now. Ever since I started dating my younger boyfriend, I realised he’s more endearing.”

Younger boyfriend?

Thinking of the man who had escorted her home, Jeremy’s face darkens: “What’s so good about him?”

“He’s younger, obedient, and talented.”

Jeremy: “…”

Watching Olivia praise another man’s talents, Jeremy’s heart clenches.

“Hey, Jeremy Norman, don’t be upset. Although you are approaching your thirties, for women in their forties or fifties, you are still a younger man.” Olivia’s light-hearted laugh rings through the corridor, “There are many women in our circle who like men like you.”

Jeremy Norman’s face suddenly turns the colour of liver.

This whole scene is clearly witnessed by Michael Gallagher.

Michael smiles with interest, it’s rare to see Jeremy at a loss.

Seeing his former love rival at a disadvantage, he is pleased.

Jeremy seems to sense his gaze and looks up suspiciously. Seeing Michael, Jeremy’s face darkens even more.

Michael, holding a cigarette between his fingers, slowly straightens up, walking in the opposite direction. Halfway through, as if remembering something, he lowers his head and gestures as if waving his hand next to his ear towards Jeremy.

Can’t hear, didn’t hear.

However, this apparent attempt to cover up his behaviour only intensifies Jeremy’s heartache.

He curses under his breath, wishing he could turn back time.

Olivia is still talking incessantly.

“Hey, Jeremy Norman, it’s just that I consider you a friend that I recommended you, my friend is almost forty, but she has always liked your type, as long as you are with her, you’ll be happy every day.”

“If you don’t like older women, you can choose younger ones, that’s fine too, I can introduce.”

“Molly is in a good relationship with Michael now. You shouldn’t interfere, they are the protagonists. If you intrude, you will just become a supporting character, and supporting characters in stories usually face tragedy. It’s not too late for you to get out…”

“It’s too late…” Jeremy’s eyes are red.

He doesn’t even know what’s happened to him, the woman he once disdained is holding the hand of another man now!

Olivia found true love. As a close friend for many years, he should be happy for her, but now he becomes incredibly envious every time he hears about her and her new partner.

She clearly said she would “mourn” for him. How could she switch her affections so quickly?

Seeing him in distress, Olivia is taken aback: “Don’t be too upset, it’s not too late…”

“I fell for someone else.” Jeremy looks at her, the bloodshot in his eyes indicating his torment these past few days.

He has to admit, he’s long gotten used to Olivia’s existence.

He’s always liked Olivia. It’s just that she’s been overshadowed by Molly, his “benching partner” from past.
