Chapter 404: Chapter 401: What are you here for?

Without that child, he became someone she could easily discard.

Without the child to tie them together, what did he matter?

She was protected by the “W” organization, the pampered daughter of the Thompson family, with a loving brother, a doting mother, and the relentless pursuit of the famous Jeremy Norman in Capital City.

As for him, Michael Gallagher – what did he really count for?

In the past, he could use his identity as the child’s father to care for her and pave the way for her.

But now, he had nothing.

Realizing all of this, Michael’s heart suddenly ached sharply, as if scorching-hot steel balls were sprinkled on it – cold and hard, rolling right over the tenderest part of his heart.

He clutched his chest, lowered his eyelashes, and the corners of his cold lips pulled into a wan smile.

Looking at Michael’s hands, which hung by his sides with white knuckles, Scarlett’s voice suddenly went hoarse: “Mr. Jenkins, I…”

Her voice abruptly stopped.

The man’s obsidian-like eyes had a bewitching luster, the gaze as sharp as a knife made her scalp tingle and the pain from the glass shards in her hand seemed to weaken a bit.

Michael turned around and walked toward the door.

Just then, the men who had come with Michael approached Scarlett and grabbed her.

“What are you doing?”

Scarlett looked at Michael in panic, but he didn’t even glance at her.

“Take her to the Police Station.”

Michael’s voice was cold, stabbing into her heart like a knife blade.

“Mr. Jenkins…” Scarlett widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Michael’s retreating figure.

She had just been released on bail, and he was going to send her back?

“Mr. Jenkins, it wasn’t me, I didn’t do anything to Ivy Thompson…”

However, Michael didn’t even look at her as Scarlett was led away.

Seeing all of this, Olivia Sawyer’s indifferent face finally showed a hint of relaxation.

It was obvious that Michael still cared for Ivy Thompson, and wouldn’t let Scarlett twist the truth so blatantly.

Even if he didn’t turn Scarlett in, Olivia would have sent her to the Police Station today.

Such a woman deserved a lesson, even if it meant a few days in custody.

Unfortunately, they still couldn’t take Scarlett down.

She put on her sunglasses and walked directly out of the bar.

Soon, news of Olivia going to the obstetrics and gynecology department and causing a scene at the bar spread.

The message spread like wildfire.

…

Capital City First People’s Hospital.

Early in the morning, James Leaford had a nutritious meal prepared by the Leaford family sent over.

Three months was not too long or short a time, but a proper confinement period was necessary.

Although everyone kept it secret from Mrs. Leaford and the old man, the two elders still sensed something was off.

Mrs. Leaford cried and wanted to come, but if Amanda hadn’t stopped her, she would have insisted on staying in the hospital.

In the end, it was only when Amanda said she wanted to research postpartum meals with her that Mrs. Leaford settled down and worked on the menu together.

Molly Walker opened the lunchbox, and her nose stung at the sight of the delicate and nutritious food.

It was all cooked personally by her grandmother and mother after their research.

She wouldn’t dare to imagine this in the past.

Although losing the baby caused her pain, the doctor had spoken to her personally, telling her that even if there were no accidents, the baby would mostly likely not make it.

Her baby had miraculously survived through so many incidents before, perhaps just like in her dream, it was disappointed with them and wanted to leave on its own.

It was not that she didn’t want the baby, but that the baby didn’t want them.

Thinking about it, the pain in Molly’s heart felt like being pricked by needles.

Having lacked affection since childhood, she had strong feelings for this baby. The longer she stayed in the hospital, the clearer her memories became, and the more tense and painful her emotions grew.

She ate a few mouthfuls and then put down her chopsticks. At that moment, the nurses standing beside her stepped forward and bowed respectfully: “Miss Thompson, we are the nurses hired by Mrs. Leaford. Starting today, we will provide you with full-body care.”

The nurses in the hospital were both surprised and envious.

As the daughter of the richest man in Sunnydale, no expense was spared, even for post-miscarriage care with so many nurses attending to her.

Molly nodded and lay in bed, allowing the nurses to take care of her.

She didn’t dare be careless about her health, so she could only let things be.

After the care was done, Joshua Thompson came in nonchalantly.

“I heard that Michael Gallagher sent Scarlett Jackson back in again.”

Molly’s hand clutching the blanket trembled slightly, and she responded calmly with a “hmm.”

Her voice was light, making it hard to gauge her thoughts.

“I went to the Jenkins’ house to find him, and their people said that he went abroad with Scarlett.” Joshua was sarcastic and cursed, “A dog with its master, together till the end.”

He had thought before that there might be a misunderstanding between Michael and his Fourth Sister; that Michael didn’t know about Molly’s miscarriage and thus bailed Scarlett out. However, it seems that Michael wasn’t ignorant, he was just feigning ignorance.

One moment, he’s upsetting his Fourth Sister and sending her to the hospital; the next, he’s leaving the country with another woman.

How nice.

“I can’t believe I thought better of him these past days. Turns out, this scumbag never changed.”

Molly raised her eyes and looked at Joshua, who was indignant on her behalf: “I remember Michael sent you quite a few cars.”

“Fine.” Joshua’s mouth twitched, “I’ll just sell them off.”

“Sell them off?” Molly couldn’t help but smile, “Won’t Michael lose a lot then?”

She remembered that some of the cars were limited edition, so they were hard to buy even with money.

If they were sold, Michael would suffer a definite loss.

“I just want to make him lose.” Joshua glanced at her, “Why, are you still defending him?”

Molly pursed her lips and remained silent.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Seeing who was outside, Joshua narrowed his eyes and suddenly raised his voice: “What are you doing here?”

Molly’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she inadvertently fell into a deep pool.

Michael Gallagher, dressed in black, stood tall and gazed at her from afar, not daring to come closer.

“Michael Gallagher, you’re not welcome here, leave now!” Joshua didn’t hold back at all as he tried to shoo him away.

Michael stood still, staring intently at her with his reddened eyes filled with sadness and deep, hidden turmoil.

Molly’s eyes fell, and her palms slightly clenched.

Although she hated Nicholas Thompson, what he said wasn’t wrong.

The baby was gone, and she and Michael owed each other nothing.

What she once owed him, she had already repaid.

From now on, they could each start their new life.

Considering that he had bailed Scarlett out, Molly’s nose couldn’t help but feel sour.

Following the doctor’s advice, she could calmly accept the departure of her baby, but she could not forgive Scarlett for all those disgusting things she did.

Similarly, she couldn’t forgive her baby’s father, Michael Gallagher, on behalf of the child.

“Aren’t you leaving yet?” Joshua furrowed his eyebrows, ready to punch Michael.

“I need to talk to her,” Michael looked firmly at Molly, “Then I’ll go.”

“You wish.” Joshua sneered, mercilessly pushing him out of the door, “My sister needs to rest; she won’t see anybody now.”

“Third brother…” Molly called him hoarsely, “Let him in.”

Some things required closure eventually.

Before, she had felt some guilt towards Michael, but now, she was calm and composed.

Hearing her words, Michael tightened his thin lips and walked straight past Joshua.

Joshua took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and gritted his teeth as he closed the door.

He anxiously wanted to take a cigarette from his pocket but found nothing.

“Shit.”

He kicked the doorframe irritably.

He hoped his Fourth Sister had some clarity of mind, not to go back to her old habits.

Unfortunately, in the love between his Fourth Sister and Michael Gallagher, he was an outsider.

“Third son of the Thompson family.” Jeremy Norman, holding fruits and nutritional supplements, stood in front of him, smiling.

Seeing Jeremy, Joshua’s eyes lit up.
