Chapter 54: Apologize to her, Pamper her


    Trantor: 549690339


    Gagher Group, Michael Gagher’s office.


    “Mr. Gagher.” The assistant walked in with a smile, “Ourpany’s jewelry design has been nominated this year, and we can send someone to the International Jewelry Festival. ”


    The International Jewelry Festival is a world-sspetition, and this year’spetition is held in Orientopia. It can only be attended under apany rather than an individual name. As a result, manypanies want to squeeze into the preliminary round for their reputation, even though only dedicated jewelrypanies have been eligible for it in the past. Surprisingly, this time the Gagher Group, known for investment and real estate, also made it.


    Michael Gagher raised his eyebrows, thinking of Molly Walker.


    She studied jewelry design in college and made thepany’s jewelry business mainstream after joining the Gagher Group.


    “Is she still with thepany?”


    The assistant hesitated for a moment and immediately figured out that Michael was talking about Molly.


    “Miss Walker hasn’t left thepany.”


    Michael Gagher nodded, “If she has no objections, let her participate this time.”


    It was Molly’s contribution that brought the Gagher’s jewelry design into the spotlight, and she would be happy to participate in such apetition.


    The assistant nodded, thinking that this arrangement made sense.


    “I’ll arrange your business trip ns with Miss Walker.”


    Business trip?


    Michael Gagher looked up and realized that he could go to thepetition since it was held under thepany’s name.


    Michael Gagher squinted his eyes, but in the end, he said nothing.


    Just as the list of shortlistedpanies for the Jewelry Festival was announced, Isabelle saw the news.


    Participating in the Jewelry Festival is an honor for every jewelry designer, even if they are just apanion. It’s an excellent addition to their resume.


    She happily sent Michael a message that opportunities like this were rare, and she wanted to join.


    But before she could send the message, she received a message from Gillian Thompson: My third brother woke up.


    Isabelle was stunned, and a fierce look shed in her eyes.


    Joshua Thompson had luck on his side, surviving even after a truck hit him.


    Isabelle: Was Ivy Thompson’s identity exposed from Molly?


    After sending the message, she didn’t get a response, and her heart was pounding.


    Her intuition told her that something must have happened.


    At the Thompson family’s estate, Gillian Thompson stayed there despite her injuries.


    Other Thompson family members were dismissed by Daniel Thompson, who had been talking to Molly Walker in the room for half an hour now.


    Not only Molly, but also Damian Thompson, Nichs Thompson, and Amanda Leaford had entered the room. She hadn’t been allowed in because she was injured and needed to go to the hospital.


    The family doctor told her, “Fifth youngdy, your leg injury is serious. I suggest you should go to the hospital.”


    “No need, it doesn’t hurt.” Gillian Thompson persevered, ordering people to carry her to the sofa near the room door. In front of so many people, she didn’t dare to eavesdrop. Add to that the room’s sound instion was excellent, and she couldn’t hear anything inside.


    At this moment, she became an outsider.


    She thought of her third brother waking up and making the first call to Daniel Thompson, which sent chills down her spine.


    She couldn’t let her long-established n fall through.


    “Carry me there.” She ordered with a dark face, directing the people carrying her to move closer to the door.


    Just as she was about to listen in, the door suddenly opened.


    Molly Walkerughed when she saw her: “Miss Thompson, what are you


    Gillian Thompson’s body stiffened, and the servants who were carrying her looked embarrassed as well.


    “It doesn’t look good being caught eavesdropping like this. If you want to listen, why not knock ande in?”


    Daniel Thompson, Damian Thompson, and others stepped out of the room, their faces somewhat awkward when they saw Gillian Thompson in this state.


    “Who said I was eavesdropping? I was just curious.” Gillian Thompson stubbornly denied.


    “Curious about what? Curious whether I am Ivy Thompson?”


    Gillian Thompson:


    Molly Walker raises the corner of her mouth with interest: “Didn’t you get the


    DNA test results for L Jones? I thought you’d be sure she’s Ivy Thompson.”


    “Stop!” Gillian endures the pain, her face ferocious, “If you don’t understand, don’t talk. No one treats you as a mute.”


    “Gillian.” Daniel Thompson suddenly speaks, “You shouldn’t be disrespectful like this. She’s your sister.”


    “What are you talking about?!” Gillian screams. “How can she be my sister?”


    “Gillian, Molly really is Ivy. Joshua has already told us the identification result, there might be a misunderstanding about L Jones…” Nichs Thompson tries to calm her emotions, but Gillian refuses to listen and pushes him away vigorously.


    Due to the force of her push, the servants weren’t able to hold her up, and Gillian falls.


    With a cry, Gillian passes out from the pain.


    When Gillian wakes up, she’s in the hospital and hears the doctor’s words.


    “Her leg’s cells below the calf have necrosed. Our suggestion is to perform an amputation as soon as possible.”


    “Is there no other way?”


    “No, I’m sorry.”


    All of these words enter Gillian’s ears, and when she hears “amputation,” she can’t hear anything else.


    She’s been learning to dance since she was a child, and her greatest pride is her beautiful, slim legs. But now, they are to be amputated.


    When the Thompson family finishes talking to the doctor, they find that Gillian is awake.


    Her eyes wide, Gillian stares at the ceiling.


    “Gillian…


    Gradually regaining consciousness, her gaze shifts to Nichs Thompson, and the watery eyes well up with tears: “Second brother, will I never be able to dance again?”


    Nichs doesn’t say anything, his eyes full of heartache: “Your second brother will make the doctors treat you, don’t be afraid.”


    “Second brother, big brother, Father, I don’t want an amputation, I don’t want to be a cripple!” Gillian widens her eyes, tears streaming down continuously.


    Damian Thompson and Daniel Thompson can’t bear to look away.


    They didn’t expect it to be so severe when she fell from the mountain.


    “The doctor said there was no timely treatment, and you were injured again…” Damian lowers his gaze, concealing the sadness in his eyes, “I’ve fired those servants…”


    Damian’s words not only do not relieve Gillian’s pain but also provoke her even more.


    “What’s the use of firing them? Can it bring my legs back? What about Molly? She’s the culprit; have you punished her?” Gillian clenches her teeth, “If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be injured. I know she’s Ivy now, and you care for her even more. You won’t do anything to her. She hasn’t lost anything, but I’ve lost a leg!”


    “Gillian…” Daniel Thompson steps forward, gently patting her head with hisrge hand, “Indeed there’s no way to exin this to you. Ivy had juste back; we can’t punish her. Be more forgiving, and we willpensate you..


    “I don’t wantpensation!” Gillian sobs, struggling to catch her breath, “I’ve loved dancing since I was a child, but now that my legs are gone, what’s the point of living? It’s not that I can’t ept Ivy, but I can’t ept someone like her as Ivy. Why is it her, why?!”


    Gillian’s words, one by one,e out of the room.


    Molly enters just in time to hear those sentences.


    She stands by the door, hesitating whether to go in or not. Nichs Thompson catches sight of her, says something in Gillian’s ear, and then walks over to Molly.


    He pulls her aside, seeming to want to say something.


    “Just say whatever you have to say.” Molly gives him a t nce.


    “The doctor said Gillian’s leg needs to be amputated.”


    “Oh.” Molly ndly nods.


    Nichs frowns, “These years, she’s been with us, bringing us a lot of joy, youreback hit her hard.”


    “I can see that.” Molly smiles, raising her eyebrows.


    She can’t be med for being cold-blooded, but Gillian’s act of ming her for the loss of her legs is really like a lousy farce.


    Seeing herugh heartlessly, a bit of displeasure appears on Nichs’ face, “Molly, Gillian’s emotion is unstable now, I’m worried she’ll do something foolish. Can you give in a little, just as a…favor to me?”


    “Apologize to her and cheer her up..”
