Chapter 590: Chapter 585 Fate_1
With that thought, the gloom that had been plaguing Molly Walker recently was swept away.
“Let's go, to the hospital.”
Lucy Thompson's eyes suddenly lit up.
Ever since she set her mind on clinging onto Molly Walker's “coattails,” she'd been thinking of finding an opportunity to make small talk with Molly, but opportunities were hard to come by.
Now, here was her chance!
“Great, let's go to the hospital and see Nicholas's girlfriend.”
Although Lucy wasn't certain, she was familiar with Catrina Rodgurez and believed there was at least a sixty percent chance it was her.
Molly Walker and Lucy Thompson arrived at the hospital where Nicholas Thompson was being treated.
Nicholas still hadn't woken up. After being rescued, he fell into a deep coma, but at least he was out of danger and has been in intensive care ever since.
When they reached the door of the room, faint crying sounds could be heard coming from inside.
It was Amanda Leaford's voice.
She could be seen holding a girl, crying silently.
With just one glance, Molly knew that the girl was Catrina Rodgurez.
As if sensing the gaze from behind, the girl slowly turned her head.
In just a few months, Catrina Rodgurez had lost a lot of weight.
Upon seeing Molly, Catrina managed a slight smile, “Miss Thompson.”
The gentle voice, the familiar intonation.
Molly felt a sharp sting in her nose and said hoarsely, “Miss Rodgurez, long time no see.”
Catrina Rodgurez, she hadn't died.
Catrina Rodgurez, she had actually come back.
At that moment, Dion Rodgurez and Christine Lumanta were sitting in their apartment having their last meal together.
Months had passed; they had moved to a new apartment, forcing themselves to step out from the gloom.
Although they had changed apartments, they still had unresolved issues in their hearts.
Dion knew he and his wife could never go back to how they were before.
Not just their relationship, but their home as well couldn't return to the past.
“After we eat, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the divorce finalized,” Dion said to Christine, serving her some dishes. His voice was calm. “We both need to start new lives.”
Upon hearing this, Christine lowered her head, her tears falling into the rice, disappearing without a trace.
“Dion, I'm sorry.”
Because she didn't trust Dion's abilities, Ivy Thompson's remaining life had become rocky—all because of her selfishness.
Maybe that's why heaven punished her by taking her child away.
“Gillian Thompson has committed too many crimes; with concurrent punishments, the message I've received is that she could be sentenced to death at most,” Dion said, pausing for a moment. “Don't worry. If she isn't sentenced to death, the Thompson family will certainly keep appealing until she receives the final judgement.”
Christine let out a bitter smile. “The law is unsympathetic, Dion. Once we're divorced, I'll turn myself in.”
“Ivy Thompson said she wouldn't pursue any action…”
“Dion,” Christine interrupted him, “I can't forgive myself.”
“I hope by confessing my sins, heaven will see our sincerity and allow our child… to rest in peace.”
Dion held her hand and slowly nodded.
Yes, no one can escape the punishment of fate.
The most terrifying things in this world aren't prison or legal judgement, but the retribution that comes in this life.
Those who do wrong may escape for a moment but not for a lifetime.
Christine's realization of her mistakes made their marriage not entirely in vain.
Just then, the doorbell rang with a “ding-dong.”
The two looked at each other, puzzled.
They had donated most of the money from selling their house to the Orphanage, and this apartment was newly rented, hardly anyone knew where they lived.
“Who could it be?” Christine asked, looking at Dion. “I didn't order any takeaway.”
Dion stood up. “I'll go see who it is.”
After a while, Christine hadn't heard Dion return.
“Dion… what's wrong?” Christine approached the door, confused. Seeing Dion standing stock-still made her heart “lurch,” “Dion…?”
Just then, the person Dion had been blocking walked in, sobbing, “Mom.”
Christine froze, staring dreamily at the person who walked towards her.
“Mom, it's me, Catrina. I'm so sorry, I came back late,” she said.
Hearing that, Christine's eyes widened in shock: “Catrina… Am… Am I dreaming?”
Every night she had prayed to dream of Catrina, but she never did.
Dion was equally astonished. He bit hard on his tongue, and it wasn't until he felt the pain spread through his mouth that he realized this wasn't a dream.
“Catrina… It really is you…”
“Catrina… my Catrina!” Christine was the first to burst into tears, engulfing Catrina in her arms, crying almost to the point of fainting.
No one had expected Catrina Rodgurez to still be alive.
When news of Catrina Rodgurez being alive spread, many netizens commented as if they were watching a comedy:
“I knew she was alive. The body was unrecognizable, and the Rodgurez Family refused an autopsy, maybe because they knew it wasn't Catrina Rodgurez.”
“Catrina Rodgurez and Nicholas Thompson were dating, and Ivy Thompson is ‘W's leader. With ‘W' protecting her, Catrina Rodgurez definitely wouldn't be in trouble.”
“Fake deaths seem to be in vogue lately. I'm not even surprised anymore.”
“Yeah, wealthy families are always so mysterious. We common folk just watch the drama unfold.”
“Dog blood drama comes from life itself…”
…
This incident ignited an unprecedented discussion frenzy online, with most people rejoicing.
No matter what, if Catrina Rodgurez had died, Nicholas Thompson would've been too pitiful.
Although most people didn't like Nicholas Thompson, the incident where he took a knife for Molly Walker still spread, leaving everyone both sentimental and saddened.
With Nicholas Thompson's fate unclear, if Catrina Rodgurez returned, she might be able to awaken him from his unresponsive coma.
Not just the netizens thought so, the Thompson family actually felt the same.
But they knew it was just wishful thinking.
Because of the money and the advanced technology, Nicholas Thompson's life had been saved, but he remained unconscious. As for the future, who knew?
On the day the court issued its verdict, people from the Thompson family, the Leaford family, and the Rodgurez Family all showed up in droves.
When Gillian Thompson came out, her face was swollen from being beaten, and her body was emaciated.
One of the witnesses, Ethan Hopkins, barely recognized her when he saw her.
Thinking about all the suffering he had endured recently, all thanks to Gillian Thompson, Ethan was full of hatred.
He didn't hold back, revealing all the things Gillian Thompson had said and done.
After he finished, Molly Walker had her lawyer submit all the relevant evidence.
In the end, Gillian Thompson was sentenced to death.
Unrepentant in her confession, as she was taken away, she cast a deep glance at Amanda Leaford and Daniel Thompson, who sat beside her.
Daniel's surgery had been very successful, and despite his recovery, he didn't forget to come to see her one last time.
“Mom, Dad… I'm sorry.”
Gillian Thompson used all her strength to shout this out to them.
Amanda Leaford scowled with a cold face, clearly feeling it was bad luck.
Daniel Thompson's mouth twitched and he turned his face away with a cough.
Having faced death, he had seen through everything, not just life itself, but also the myriad types of people around him.
He was still ashamed of the foolish mistakes he had made before.
Sensing their displeasure, Gillian Thompson awkwardly lowered her head. As she brushed past Molly Walker, she lifted her head and stared at her motionlessly.
“Ivy Thompson, congratulations…”
Congratulations, you've finally had your revenge.
Gillian Thompson smiled faintly as tears slowly fell.
“I'm sorry.”
Sorry…
If only she had chosen not to be confrontational from the beginning, but instead had reached an understanding with Molly Walker, how good that would have been.
She, too, should have had a wonderful life…
Eventually, Gillian Thompson, handcuffed by the police, walked towards the abyss that would close off her path in life…
All was settled.
On the day that Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher had agreed to go on a vacation to the island, Jake Leaford showed up at their doorstep with a sorrowful face.
“Ivy Thompson, just tell me, where has she gone?”
Now, his mother was frantically pushing for marriage.
Especially after learning that both Molly Walker and Michael Gallagher were about to remarry, she was more anxious than ever.
The one he had always liked was Elizabeth Aitken, and he couldn't accept marrying someone else now.
“Elizabeth is now living a peaceful life,” Molly Walker said to Jake Leaford with a faint smile. “You think I'm helping her avoid you, but I don't have that kind of influence, Jake Leaford. If there's fate between you and Elizabeth, you'll eventually be together. If there's no fate, you should just give up.”
Jake Leaford wanted to say more, but Michael Gallagher stopped him: “We have to catch a plane, don't block the way.”
Jake Leaford choked on his words.
“Fine, if you won't help me find her, I'll do it myself!”
Jake Leaford left in anger.
Whether he would find her or not… that would depend on whether Elizabeth Aitken wished to be found…
“They're all waiting for us,” Michael Gallagher said, pushing the luggage cart and pulling Molly Walker by the hand as they walked forward.
The Thompson family, the Leaford family, and the Gallagher family had organized a trip to the island.
All of the family members would be there.
It was a family reunion.
Even Stephen Crane was going along.
Because this time, it was also the engagement party for the Thompson young masters, announcing their wedding dates.
It was early autumn again, another season of harvest.
The wind was no longer bitterly cold; instead, it carried a gentle warmth.
Molly Walker gripped the hand of the man beside her and breathed out softly.
She looked up at the sun and felt that everything was just perfect.
“Let's go.”
Her family was waiting for her.
Everything she had once longed for and dreamed of, she now had.
She once thought she had been abandoned by the world, but it turned out the world had always cared for her.
She loved this world, and everyone in it.
Nothing could be better than this moment…
