Chapter 255 The Truth Gradually Uncovers (Part One)
Molly looked at the message on her mobile phone.
She stayed silent for a moment, and then she seemed to have remembered something important.
She hurriedly replied,"Dad, what happened?"
Steven''s reply came back quickly,"Once youe back, you will know."
Molly looked at those simple words. There was an ominous premonition in her heart. Regardless of the
sadness she was going through, she wanted to run upstairs. She raised her head and saw Eric looking
at her doubtfully. She opened her mouth slightly and then lowered her head to type on her mobile
phone. She showed it to him. "I have something important to do. I need to go out for a while."
"Where do you want to go?" asked Eric. He noticed that Molly was a little nervous. He asked,"Shall I
take you to the ce you want to go?"
Molly shook her head and hurriedly typed,"I want to go home. It would be inconvenient if you followed
me!"
Eric gazed at Molly. But Molly had no time to wonder about Eric''s thoughts. She quickly ran upstairs
and changed her clothes. Then she ran back downstairs with her backpack. When she passed Eric,
she slightly pressed her lips together, but did not say anything.
Eric did not move at first. He just looked at Molly who was running out of the house. The next second,
he followed her out and said to her,"Little Molly, it will take a long time for you to walk down the
mountain. How about I drive you downtown?"
Molly stopped in her tracks and thought for a while. She needed at least half an hour to reach the
bottom of the mountain even if she ran there. And then she still needed another half an hour to take a
bus and go home. So it might take more than an hour to reach home. Weighing her options, Molly
nodded and followed Eric to his car.
Along the way, they kept quiet as Molly could not speak and Eric did not say anything because of what
had happened at the vi. He quietly drove the car and dropped Molly at the bus station where she
could get a bus that would take her home.

"Do you really not need me to drive you home?" Eric asked again before Molly got out of the car.
Molly shook her head indicating that she did not need him to take her back home. Her hand was on the
door handle, but she did not open the door yet. She thought for two seconds and took out her phone,
typing a few words for Eric. "Thank you, Eric. I need to move forward alone in the future, no matter
what. So today, I don''t need you to go with me. I can deal with it myself. You and Brian will always be in
my memories. No matter where I end up in the future, I will not forget you, my evil friend."
Eric looked at the words on the phone. His eyes sunk. He turned his eyes to look at Molly. Molly slightly
pressed her lips together and then got out of the car. The bus arrived just in time. Molly got on the bus
without turning around to look at Eric.
Eric did not move. He watched the bus drive away from him slowly. After a while, he said to
himself,"Little Molly, This is not the kind of farewell I want. And don''t you think you are saying your
goodbyes too early? Even if Brian allowed you to leave, that doesn''t mean that you can really leave
from our lives. Why don''t you understand?"
Brian had started paying more attention to Molly. But only Brian knew who was the more important one
between Molly and Becky for him. And no one would know what was in his heart except himself.
Eric looked away from the faraway bus and did not want to think more about what Molly was going to
do once she got back home this time. He would not deliberately intervene in her affairs. And now he
was not suitable to intervene more into it anymore. He was different from Brian. If Molly''s biological
father was really who he thought he was, it would cause conflicts between Dragon Ind and Four-
Nine City if he intervened too much. Such actions were not favorable for the Congress and the
candidates for leader of Dragon Ind.
And he believed that as powerful as Brian was, if Becky wasing back in a few days, then, he might
want to deal with his rtionship with Molly within these few days he had.

Molly was in a hurry to run back to her home after she got off the bus. Last time she hade back,
Steven was not home. Today, he had suddenly called her back in such a hurry and also told her to
make sure she was alone. Something serious must have happened.
"Molly!" Daniel was reading a book. When he saw Molly, he was excited and asked,"Molly, why are you
here all of a sudden?"
Since he knew what had happened to Molly, he had secretly sworn to study harder than ever, so that
when he grew up, he could support her.
Molly looked inside. She opened her mouth to say something. But then she remembered that she could
not speak anymore. She took out her phone and typed some words to Daniel. "I came back to see Dad
and Mom. Are they home now?
"Yes," answered Daniel. He looked in the direction of the inner room. He frowned immediately after that
and asked her, confused,"Molly, why are you typing on your phone? Is something wrong with your
throat?"
Molly typed again,"My throat has not been feeling well recently. The doctor says that I should try not to
speak too much. Or it might have negative effects on my vocal cords."
"Is that so?" Daniel asked. Although he was still young, he was quite clever. He knew that Molly was
not telling the whole truth.
Molly just nodded and didn''t want to exin anymore. She pointed to the direction of the inner room,
signaling that she wanted to find Steven.
Daniel opened his mouth, but then shut it again. After a while, he asked,"Molly, did you have lunch?"
Molly shook her head. He raised his eyebrows and said,"How about I go fry some vegetables and
make some rice for you?"
Molly nodded. She felt like she was back home after a usual day at work, before all this had happened
a month ago. Every time she came back, Daniel would cook for her as long as he was home. She was
busy with different jobs at the time and Daniel would do all the chores at home.
