'Benjamin could definitely do more than I could.'At least he would be able to be there for Molly immediately when she needs him.'Sean felt that he was useless, but he tried to hide it. He thought that the few minutes he spent in the room were longer than the entire day of waiting."What else could we be?"His worries flew off the handle after he heard Molly's response. Then, he said directly, "You can tell that Benjamin has feelings for you, right?"Molly's pupils shrank as she was a little surprised. She bit her lips and looked at Sean for a few seconds before she asked, "How did you know that?"'They didn't know each other, right? Somebody even told me that they had no connections of any kind with each other at all.'Sean chuckled when he saw Molly's reaction. "It's very obvious."He almost forgot that she could really be a dense person at certain things.For example, everybody knew why he could not get along with Benjamin, but she did not know at all.Molly blinked her e
A few days passed after Benjamin confessed to Molly in the café.Molly did not go to the hospital for a few days. She was scared to face him, and she thought that it would be very awkward for them to see each other.She was filling the tea bags in the living room. She put all the tea leaves she prepared into several small packs before tying a knot on them.Molly found out that they had finished all the tea bags when she was at home for these few days. So, she prepared some since she was free.That tea could help in cutting grease, improving one's metabolism, etc. Grandpa Dave was going out, so it would be best for him to have a cup of it after every meal.Sean came over to visit after finishing his work. He thought for a moment and arched his brows after seeing how Molly made herself busy in the living room.He could tell that she was avoiding Benjamin on purpose.Sean could not help but chuckle to himself. He did not want Molly to have too many interactions with Benjamin anyway
Grandpa Dave knew that he was going to lose after looking at the placements of Sean's white pieces.'He's so young, yet so intelligent.'However, it was not too late, and Grandpa Dave still had a chance to turn the game around.Grandpa Dave got serious and moved his black piece. Molly had watched them play for quite some time now, so she could understand what was going on and her chess skills were improving too.The battle between Sean and Grandpa Dave was so intense that Molly felt kind of intense too just from watching at the side.However, it was not right for a spectator to make any comments in a chess game, so she tried her best to control herself and watched the game quietly.Sean knew that it would not be easy for him to trick Grandpa Dave, so he had a backup plan. Grandpa Dave could not help but smack on his thigh after the game was coming to an end."You scheming fox!" Grandpa Dave was so angry that he started laughing. He did not expect that he would lose a chess game
"Of course not." Sean smiled. 'I'm not a petty person!'.The triplets who were playing were intrigued. "What happened?" They have some exciting news to share too.Before anyone could speak, they said, "Mommy! We were looking at the calendar just now and we realized that your birthday is coming soon!"The triplets were extremely loud, so Brycen could hear them from the living room. He immediately went out to join them."Molly's birthday?! We need to have a big celebration!" Brycen came over and poured himself a cup of tea before taking a sip. "Speaking of which, it's Molly's first birthday with her family. We have to give her a grand celebration!""Yeah," Sean agreed with him, which was rare. "We should really make some preparations.""Mommy, what kind of cake do you want?" Claudia stood next to Molly and looked at her curiously. "Do you like strawberry cake?"Everyone looked at Molly after Claudia asked her, as they waited for her response.Molly chuckled as she thought, 'What?
"Let me help you sit up. I thought it was cold this morning too, so you're probably sick because of the sudden change in weather. I can treat you, but you should get checked in the hospital first, just in case. I'm worried that this might cause other health problems, so you should rest in the hospital for a few days."Molly supported Grandpa Dave with both her hands and helped him sit up.Sawyer came up and looked at them without asking anything. He immediately helped Grandpa Dave get dressed and carried him downstairs while Molly gave him extra support next to him.Brycen already got Russell to wait for them at the door, so everyone went to the hospital with Grandpa Dave, including the triplets.Molly briefly told them about Grandpa Dave's condition on their way to the hospital, and they were relieved.After two hours, Grandpa Dave was done with his check-up in the hospital and Molly kept him company next to his bed.Brycen ordered Russell to get some breakfast for them as none
It was like Lara was trying to start a conversation with Molly, but she did not know where to start.After all, she had been yelling and insulting Molly for as long as she could remember.When she thought back about the past, she suddenly felt a strong sense of regret for whatever she had done. She looked at Molly's side profile and felt a weird sensation. It was her first time being nervous around Molly.Molly did not even stop scrolling through her phone as if she had no intentions to talk to Lara at all.Everyone in the room immediately kept quiet when they saw Lara talking to Molly.They all knew that Molly and the May family had countless conflicts, so they did not know if they wanted Molly to respond or not.Everyone was feeling rather awkward.But Lara did not give up. She just clenched her fists and asked another question in a softer voice, "Are Brycen and Sawyer doing better now?"Nevertheless, she only got silence as a response.Lara finally understood that Molly did
Although Grandpa Dave was old, he was still sharp.For the next few days, his eagle eyes could tell that Benjamin was interested in his granddaughter.Benjamin was a cheerful and witty person who was really good to Molly. It was hard for Grandpa Dave to not like him.Benjamin smiled, "It's okay, grandpa. I know you like me."Benjamin even nodded calmly, causing Molly to laugh out loud."Alright, alright. You should leave now. It's time for grandpa to eat." Molly pushed Benjamin aside, opened her lunchbox, and served Grandpa Dave the herbal soup that she made."It's getting late. It's almost 12:30 in the afternoon; go eat something." Molly placed the cutlery down for Grandpa Dave and turned to urge Benjamin.For the past few days, Benjamin would always visit Grandpa Dave in the morning and head for lunch when Molly brought Grandpa Dave his food.As Molly was considering Benjamin's love confession, she was worried that she might give him the wrong idea. For that reason, she rarel
"I told grandpa that we're going to take him back to our house later. Do you want to come back for dinner tonight?" Those words meant that the May family was willing to give in to Molly, but Molly was not having it at all."Our house? What are you talking about? You're going back to your house, not mine." Molly shot back at Nathan before she realized that Grandpa Dave was there too.Molly paused. Then, she calmly said, "The triplets are looking forward to grandpa's return today. You should do it some other time if you want to bring grandpa back."She did not want to associate herself with the May family nor did she want the May family to associate themselves with her.Grandpa Dave looked at his granddaughter. He knew what was going on in her mind after seeing the cold expression on her face, so he kept quiet.Molly's words were like a hammer that pounded on his heart, and he felt bitter.He did not know how to refute Molly because they were the ones who said those things to her f
Chapter 1882Chester thought this was a good idea. After deliberation, he said, "Then, let's send some people over from the Dark Group."The Grandset had eight groups on the surface, but in reality, there was a secret Dark Group.The Dark Group's members were trained by Chester. Almost all of them were experts in ancient martial arts.Moreover, they were good at scouting, tracking, and counter-tracking, far more capable than the five Asura Kings.Sean looked at him and said, "That's exactly what I want to do. They're the only ones capable of this mission. Ordinary people can't accomplish it."Chester nodded. "Got it. I'll arrange it as soon as possible. I hope things will turn out well. "Sean nodded. They chatted for a while longer before Chester left.In the evening, Sean returned to his place, and Molly was still awake.She had already taken a shower and was leaning against the bedhead, reading a book about ancient medical techniques.Sean casually put his jacket aside, wa
Chapter 1881Chester left with Sean's orders and quickly told everyone.However, despite the advance notice, some of the family heads in several unmanaged districts were still missing for the next two days.The forces under the Martial Art Union also suffered from the impact.Sean sensed that something was wrong.People were missing in the Martial Art Union and the unmanaged areas, but the Grandset was fine.It was definitely not a good sign.Sean quickly called an emergency meeting.The next morning, all the hall masters gathered in the conference room of the temporary base.Everyone was seated at the large round table.Sean was the last to come in. Everyone stood up and respectfully greeted him. "Master."Sean nodded lightly in response.After taking the seat of honor, he got straight to the point and said, "I presume you know why you are summoned here. Many family heads have disappeared recently, which has caused panic among the people."Only we are left unharmed."S
Chapter 1880Mr. Ballard sighed resignedly, “We have no other choices now. The Martial Art competition will be held in two days. Hope nothing else will happen.”“Although we haven’t gotten any news from the Martial Art Union, we should be prepared for attacks and continue to prepare the medicine.”Molly also felt disturbed. The situation was still uncertain, and they couldn’t slack off.If the Martial Art Union attacked them in advance and they hadn’t been prepared, they would be in danger.“I think so. Now that it’s true, we’d better return to the hospital. The hospital must be in chaos. Molly...”Mr. Ballard looked at Sean and Molly worriedly.Molly was afraid that Sean would disagree and said immediately, “I would like to return to the hospital with you.”Sean nodded, “Remember to take a rest when you’re tired. I will ask the driver to drive you to the hospital.”The next day, the Martial Art Union made an announcement as expected.The Martial Art Union: [Recently, many he
Chapter 1879Sean ordered immediately, "Arrange more people to look for them, while secretly protecting the remaining clan leaders. Don't act rashly and alarm the enemy, so as not to raise new issues.""Moreover, send some people to look into the matter secretly, and keep a close watch on the Martial Art Union."Tony nodded, "Okay, Mr. Anderson. I'll do it right away."After finishing his words, he left hurriedly.Looking at the partial information Tony had previously compiled about clan leaders' disappearance, Sean pinched his brow. Sean mused, feeling that this matter wasn't simple.A few moments later, the office door was knocked again, "Sean, may I come in?"Molly's voice came outside the door.Hearing this, Sean adjusted his expression and got up to open the door.He gently took Molly's hand and led her into his office to sit down, "Why are you guys here at this hour? Are you not feeling well?"He asked Molly softly, smoothing her hair."No, I'm fine. It's just that Mr.
Chapter 1878Sean looked at the woman in his arms with tender eyes.He wiped the water droplets off the corners of Molly's mouth and asked, "Do you want to sleep for a while? I'll wake you up when the meal is ready."Molly didn't refuse.Unwilling to part with her, the three kids had talked to her till late hours last night.And she had to get up early this morning to catch the plane. She was indeed a little tired.Now that she had nothing to do, she could take a rest and refresh herself.Soon, Molly went to bed and slept.Sean watched over her.Later, the maid got the meal ready, and he woke up Molly.The next morning, Molly woke up to find the man beside her was gone.A note was left on the bedside table. "Don't forget to have breakfast. I have something to do and will come back tonight."She looked at the note and felt anxious.It seemed that she too had to quickly enter working mode. After breakfast, Molly quickly tidied up and went straight to the hospital.What ha
Chapter 1877Mr. Ballard smiled happily, “OK. I will take you there personally!”After they chatted for a while, Molly went to visit the hospital. Then she went to the villa to take a rest with Sean.The villa was close to the hospital. Before they went there, Sean arranged for someone to buy it.Sean’s purpose was to let Molly go to the hospital and back conveniently.After Sean carried the luggage into the villa, he said to Molly who sat on the couch, “Have a look at the villa. Tell me if you lack anything. I will buy them for you.”Molly looked around and shook her head, “Everything is available here. If I need anything else, I will tell you.”Sean smiled, put down the luggage, poured a cup of water for her, and asked with concern, “Are you tired?”Molly replied honestly, “Only my legs ache.”Hearing that, he sat beside her immediately and massaged her legs gently.Seeing that he was so considerate, she smiled and felt happy.A few minutes later, Molly felt much better an
Chapter 1876Mr. Ballard felt proud of himself, seeing the surprised expressions on Molly's and Sean's faces."What do you think of the temporary medical base we set up?" he asked, fixing his eyes on Sean.Sean, who understood what the old man meant, smiled in response. "Very good. Even better than I expected."As they chatted, they walked into the base."Mr. Ballard."Every person in a white coat greeted Mr. Ballard with respect.And they were amazed by the presence of Molly and Sean.The two were outstanding in appearance and temperament.Mr. Ballard nodded in response to the greetings while introducing the layout of the base to Molly and Sean.Molly looked around and asked curiously, "Are these people all doctors?"Given Mr. Ballard and Logan's strength, she thought that they could gather dozens of people at most.After all, this matter was full of danger.But those in front of her probably numbered in the hundreds, even thousands.Seeing an impressed Molly, Mr. Ballar
Chapter 1875The next day, Molly recuperated in the bedroom.Sean was worried about her and specially worked in the bedroom.The three kids were also there.They joked or told interesting things from time to time. Molly was amused by them and wore a smile on her face all the time.Molly had persuaded Sean and thus was in a good mood.Within two days, she looked much better.Mr. Ballard, Logan, and the others were relieved and could go to do logistic work at ease.On the day when they set off, Molly saw them off at the door.She looked at them and reminded them carefully, “Please pay attention to your safety. If anything happens, contact us immediately.”Mr. Ballard urged Molly to return to the room, “I see. Don’t worry. You can return to your room and take a rest now. You haven’t totally recovered yet.”Logan and Lesley nodded and echoed, “Uncle Jordan is right. We will take care of Uncle Jordan.”Yolanda said, “Don’t worry. You will go to find us with Mr. Atherton soon.”
Chapter 1874The next morning, bright sunlight streamed in through the window and woke Molly up. She saw three little ones guarding her, staring at her with an intense gaze."Mommy, you're awake," they exclaimed happily."How do you feel, Mommy? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"Molly's heart warmed at their care and she smiled gently. She raised her hand and rubbed their heads lightly, saying softly, "I'm fine. You don't need to worry."Sitting beside her, Sean watched the interaction between Molly and the children with tender eyes. He instructed the little ones, "You stay here with Mommy. I'll go get Jordan to check on her and have breakfast delivered.""Daddy, go ahead," the little ones replied, waving their hands without looking back.Sean left with a smile, and he soon returned with Jordan and Logan. Upon seeing Molly leaning against the bed, Brycen squeezed through the crowd to come to her side."Molly, it seems you are fine now!" he exclaimed with concern, his dark
