Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 257 The Truth Gradually Uncovers (Part Three)

Tears rolled down from Molly's eyes. She mocked her own fate and she felt that it didn't even matter who her father was. Even her mother had always wanted to abandon her. Was it important to know who her father was?

"Molly, could you come with me? I have to ask you something," said Steven. He was not as dignified as before. He had completely lost his cool. He looked towards Sharon helplessly and then he stood up and walked outside.

Molly looked at Sharon with tears in her eyes. She pinched her eyebrows and pressed her lips together. Then she withdrew her sights from her mother and followed Steven out of the room.

They walked through the small courtyard and did not stop until they arrived in a small alley. Molly stood silently behind Steven. The sadness on her face had not faded away. She had thought that nothing in her life could make her sadder. But it turned out that there was something worse waiting for her.

"Molly, you..." Steven started to say something. But he hesitated for a moment and finally asked,"What is the relationship between you and Mr. Brian Long now?" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Molly looked up at Steven. The irony spread from her lips to her eyes. She had called this man 'Dad' for more than ten years. Now he was asking her about the relationship between her and a man who treated her as a plaything.

She typed,"What do you think ?"

Those four words hurt Steven. His face muscles twitched uncontrollably. He looked at Molly in embarrassment and felt sad for her. But Molly now had no other emotions other than grief. Who could see the sadness in her heart? Who could understand her fear?

"I, I didn't mean that..." Steven was incredibly angry at himself. He did not know how to express the guilt in his heart. He said,"Molly, the situation is very complicated now. You can only be safe if you stay with Brian. Only if you are with him, those people wouldn't dare touch you."

Molly looked at Steven silently. Steven had always protected her since her childhood. Although he knew clearly that Sharon did not like her, he was still nice to her. However, ever since he had given into gambling, he had pushed her step by step into despair, although at the same time, she knew that he also felt guilty about it.

She typed,"I will leave Mr. Brian Long soon. I wanted to leave him the day my life's truth is revealed. Now I know who my father is. So, It's time for me to leave him."

Steven looked at the words on her phone as she typed. His facial expression changed. "You want to leave Mr. Brian Long? Why would you leave him?"

Molly smiled sadly. Her heart was heavy. Why? Why did they always put her in such desperate situations? It was not her will to come to this world. It was their fault. Why did they all think that it was her fault?

She typed to Steven,"I will not go to see Rory Yan. No matter whose daughter I am, it is not important now. I am just a bubble that would disappear any moment ."

Molly turned around to walk towards the alley outside. She did not want to listen to what Steven was saying behind her. She was very tired. She could hardly hold on anymore. She was so nervous when she had gotten Steven's message earlier. But when she had finally come back home, they had given her such big news. She was disappointed and sad again... Was it really so important whose daughter she was?

"Molly!" Daniel called her from behind.

Molly stopped. A cold wind blew past her and she realized that tears were still streaming down her cheeks.

The rapid footsteps behind her came closer. Daniel quickly ran in front of Molly. When he saw her face which was full of tears, he held Molly in his arms.

Daniel was taller than Molly. The teenager's frail arms were unexpectedly warm to the touch.

"Molly, even if Dad and Mom abandon you, you will still have me. No matter whose daughter you are, you will always be my sister," Daniel gnashed his teeth and said. His voice was kind of firm. He had heard their conversation secretly and had not expected that Sharon and Steven would go overboard like that.

Molly laughed. The sun was shining on her face, which made her look more beautiful. Her sad eyes were covered with a layer of dust. And there was a void in her eyes as if she had lost her soul.

Daniel let go of Molly, looking at her sad expression. He felt very distressed. He hated that he did not have enough strength. He hated that he had no ability to protect his sister. He hated that he was so young and that he was unable to give her a sense of security.

Molly took a deep breath. She typed on the phone,"I am fine. I have experienced much worse things. This is not a big deal."

"Molly, you can leave this city," Daniel said in a desperate attempt to save his sister. "You can go and live your own life. And you don't have to care about Dad and Mom any more. Besides, I can take care of them."

Molly raised her hand and gently stroked Daniel's face. When had this little boy grown up to behave like such a man? Seeing the determination in his eye, Molly wondered, 'Could I really not care about

Dad and Mom? If something happened to them, how could Daniel continue to live? Who would take care of him?'

She typed on the phone,"Daniel, there are too many things that make us feel helpless in the world. Maybe one day, I can live for myself. But now, I can't ."

Daniel saw her final message. His hand tried to grab her, but Molly had already turned to leave. Her footsteps were so heavy. But at that moment, there was no way for him to stop her.

Molly walked for a long time. She felt weak. She did not know for how many hours she had been walking. She finally arrived at the villa. While she arrived, Brian had just come back. She stopped and looked at the car in a daze. Tony was driving the car and he slowly passed her to go to the parking lot. Brian got out of the car. Against the setting sun and the white snow, Brian stood near the car like an immortal being. His deep eyes were watching her.

Brian saw her lost look. He frowned slightly and then walked towards her. When he saw clearly that her face was still covered in tear stains, he frowned and asked indifferently,"What did you do today?"

Molly looked at Brian. After a while, she typed,"Bri, I feel sad."

Brian's frown deepened. All this time, although Molly was afraid and depressed, she was stubborn and did not ever admit about her inner fragility. But now, she finally confessed to him that she was sad.

Molly typed again,"Could you hug me for a while?"
