Although Isabelle didn’t know why Lana Lewis suddenly changed her attitude, she was happy to see someone get humiliated at that moment.

Molly Walker could see there was no goodwill in Lana’s gaze, her heart tightened.

This mother-in-law was no longer the woman she knew before.

Lana stopped looking at her, gently patted Isabelle’s hand, and said with a smile, “You and Xavier are getting engaged soon. If you need anything, just tell Auntie, don’t be shy.”contemporary romance

Xavier?

Isabelle lifted her head in disbelief.

She wanted to say that Xavier was already dead, but Lana’s tender expression and warm touch filled her with longing.

She hesitated whether to tell Lana the truth.

Only then did Molly realize that Lana’s memory was faulty.

She turned around to call for a doctor, only to bump into someone’s chest.

The familiar scent filled her nostrils, and as she was stunned, the man in front of her pushed her away.

Michael Gallagher’s cold face showed no emotion, but his eyes seemed a bit bewildered when they met hers.

Just then, Lana’s surprised voice came,

“Xavier, you’re here?”

Michael furrowed his eyebrows.

Molly whispered, “Mom’s memory is faulty.”

After saying that, Molly walked out of the door with long strides, taking one last look as she left.

Her mother-in-law was laughing heartily, something she had never seen before.

So, her mother-in-law’s emotional knot had always been the eldest heir of the Gallagher family, Xavier Gallagher.

After finishing the check-up, the doctor called them aside.

“The patient is having memory issues, which are rare and might be due to interference from other illnesses.”

“How long can her memory recover?” Michael asked.

Before the doctor could answer, Isabelle interrupted, “Why does it need to recover?”

“Michael, don’t you think Auntie is happy now? Do you really want her to regain her memory and face pain again?”

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Michael frowned and looked at the doctor.

The doctor nodded, “The young lady is right, mood is important. If the memory loss isn’t severe, it can gradually recover with time, there’s no need to force her to remember.”

Under Isabelle’s hopeful gaze, Michael’s throat moved, and said expressionlessly, “So be it.”

Isabelle smiled, warmly holding Michael’s hand, “By the way, Auntie said she wants a new caregiver.” She then added with emphasis, “Michael, you don’t know yet. Auntie has forgotten Miss Walker.”

Isabelle couldn’t help but smile at the corners of her lips.

After hearing it, Michael looked at her.

Molly’s lips curled in a smile, revealing no emotion.

Isabelle said again, “Michael, I want to take care of Auntie personally, I don’t trust the caregivers.”

Thinking of her own grandmother, Molly blurted out without thinking, “No way.”

She knew how painful it was to care for someone like her. A pampered heiress like Isabelle could never take good care of her mother-in-law. And she had a prior record – what if she harmed her mother-in-law again?

She couldn’t give Isabelle any chance. She looked at Michael, “I advise you to think clearly: Isabelle can’t take care of her.”

“What do you mean, Molly? You don’t want to get close to Auntie again, do you? The last person she wants to see now is you. If you rush back, aren’t you deliberately making Auntie uncomfortable?”

Isabelle spoke sincerely, but she was afraid that if Molly took care of her mother-in-law, Lana’s memory would recover.

Molly still wanted to say something when Michael interrupted her, “You go rest first; I’ll take care of the rest.”

He knew she hadn’t slept all night and wanted her to rest.

Molly’s breathing stopped, and she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

When she looked down at the ground and came back to her senses, they had already left.

Molly stood in the hospital corridor for a long time until someone patted her shoulder.

“Miss Walker.”

A pleasant male voice reached her ears.

Molly turned her head, saw Joshua Thompson, and her face broke into a smile, “What are you doing here?”

“On my way for work.” Joshua hid the items in his bag behind him, handing her an invitation, “There’s a banquet in a few days, my father’s birthday party, do you want to go?”

His peach blossom eyes narrowed, and he laughed playfully, “Since you’ve already divorced, don’t cling to the past. Maybe you’ll find someone you like at the banquet!”

Molly took the invitation. It was thick and obviously made of special material.

She had long heard about the entrance requirements for the Thompson family’s banquets. Many people couldn’t get in, and the Thompson family limited the number of guests, even offering live streaming and scalper tickets.

The Thompsons were the richest family, so their banquets were always extraordinary.

“I’ve heard there’s a threshold for your banquets. Won’t my presence break the rules?” She played with the invitation in her hand, smiling playfully.

Joshua reluctantly smiled, “There is a threshold, but you’re my friend and you’re qualified.”

Thinking of how he ruined his own image just to get her out of trouble, Molly felt warm inside.

He could indeed be called a friend now.

“Then I’ll accept the invitation. Since it’s Uncle’s birthday party, I’ll definitely be there on time.”

Seeing her agree to attend, Joshua breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn’t know why, but he really wanted to introduce her to his family.

Joshua had just sent the stuff in to the hospital today, and it would take at least a week for the results to come. Although it could be expedited, he chose the normal process in order not to attract attention.

Many people were watching the Thompsons’ every move. How his sister had gone missing was still not settled, and he didn’t want any more accidents. He didn’t tell anyone else about it.

If she were indeed his sister, his parents would undoubtedly react when they saw her.

“By the way, I heard you were adopted?”

His words caught Molly off guard, but she nodded, “My grandmother found me in a garbage dump.”

“How old were you when she found you? What were you wearing, and were there any other personal items?” Joshua’s questions were abrupt, one after another.

Seeing Molly’s confused face, Joshua quickly added, “I’m sorry. I got too excited. It’s just that my sister went missing too, so I might be overly concerned about others in the same situation.”

So that’s why…

Molly smiled softly. She always wondered why Joshua was so warm-hearted towards her; it turned out that it was because she reminded him of his sister.

How enviable that girl was to have such a good brother!

“From what my grandmother told me, I was found wearing only a piece of cloth. If she hadn’t found me by chance, I would have either starved or frozen to death. It’s different from your sister’s case – I was abandoned by my biological parents.”

She mentioned the word “abandoned” lightly but filled with sadness.

Joshua’s heart ached upon hearing it.

He only wanted to ask about the details, not realizing he had touched a wound.

Joshua forced a smile and said hesitantly, “Actually, you can try searching for your family. Maybe they had their reasons.”
