Chapter 511: Chapter 506: Me or Gillian Thompson, who do you choose? _1

Damian Thompson and Nicholas Thompson stood not far from the other members of the Thompson family, and Molly Walker heard their conversation.

In her opinion, even if Nicholas helped Gillian Thompson, it would only backfire.

But Nicholas viewed Gillian through the lens of family.

Only when he was truly hurt by Gillian would he perhaps come to his senses.

Nicholas finished speaking with Damian, and turned his head to glance at her. Uncertain about what he was thinking, he hesitated before walking over.

He gritted his teeth, took a small box out of the pocket of his windbreaker, and pleasingly presented it to her.

“This is a gift to apologize. I know you might not care for it, but it’s the best recompense I could think of. No…not recompense, just a little something. If you don’t like it, you can throw it away after looking at it…” Nicholas said, trailing off with a hoarse voice.

Molly glanced at the box, recalling the last time he was robbed, willingly paying the robber a few hundred thousands of dollars just to get that small box back.

The box in Nicholas’s hand was made of wood, hand-carved with a hollowed-out floral pattern. It was clear that it was not a common item just by looking at the box.

The box had changed, but the size was roughly the same.

Molly immediately determined that the item in the box was likely the same as last time.

“Oh, what’s happening here? You just took advantage of your foster sister, and now you remember your real sister?” Joshua Thompson crossed his arms, his face full of mockery. He sneered at the box, rolling his eyes, “The harm you’ve done to our sister can’t be repaid even with mountains of gold and silver. Who are you trying to impress with this sad face?”

“Joshua.” Amanda Leaford glanced sternly at her youngest son.

Although Nicholas had done many wrong things, recognizing his mistakes was a good thing. It meant he would hopefully treat Ivy better in the future.

As a mother, she certainly would not obstruct this.

Ivy and Nicholas were siblings after all. It would be best if they could reconcile, but if they couldn’t, it wouldn’t affect Nicholas’ guilt towards Ivy. Only then would he spend the rest of his life making up for his failings.

As long as it was beneficial to Ivy, she would not obstruct it.

Joshua’s words were indeed harsh, but Nicholas knew that they were true.

Nicholas pressed his lips together tightly, maintaining his gesture, not retracting his hand.

This was something he had painstakingly obtained, and he had to give it to her himself.

Ever since she saved him from the hands of the robber, he knew that this sister still held a sliver of familial affection for him.

Even if this affection was only a sliver, he did not want to give it up.

Joshua’s words had it right. He wanted to use heaps of treasures to mend this familial bond.

His hand holding the gift remained still, while Molly did not take it.

Only when his hand started to ache did Molly finally reach out.

Under the watchful eyes of all, Molly finally accepted the box.

Nicholas’s eyes widened, his hand trembled slightly.

She took it, she really took it!

At that moment, excitement and nervousness spread throughout his chest. His lips moved: “Inside this box, I…”

Before he could finish his sentence, her beautiful hands ruthlessly tossed the box into the trash bin.

A splash of cold water drenched Nicholas’s excitement..

“Didn’t you say that I could throw it away? Conveniently, there’s a trash bin right here.” Molly’s voice was gentle, but it was void of emotion.

No matter what Nicholas did, she would never forgive him.

Helping him the last time was just out of her nature to help someone in trouble. Even if it were a stranger, she’d still help.

As for Nicholas’s apology, she would not accept it.

The lid of the trash bin was still shaking, stirring waves within Nicholas’ heart, causing him to feel a cold chill.

Soon, the brightness in Nicholas’s eyes gradually dimmed.

He never truly expected Molly to forgive him, but he was still filled with hope and disappointment.

She was kind to her older brother and younger brother, but towards him, she treated him like an enemy, no, not even an enemy.

She could even forgive an enemy.

“I heard…you even forgave Violet Summers…”

Nicholas Thompson opened his mouth, his voice husky, filled with anticipation.

Violet Summers had also hurt her, he thought that as long as he sincerely admitted his mistakes, Molly Walker would also forgive him.

“Yes, I have forgiven her, not just her, I even forgave Michael Gallagher.” Molly Walker answered lightly with a fluttering smile, “But Violet Summers gave me money, Michael Gallagher gave me life, what can you give me? Your life too?”

Nicholas Thompson clenched his jaw, his lips turning into a straight line.

If it comes to it, he would be willing to give his life for her.

But he knew, even if he spoke those words, she would never forgive him.

Anything he says now is meaningless, his sister won’t believe him, she will also never forgive him.

His eyes were somewhat burning, Nicholas Thompson clenched his fists, letting his eyelashes droop slightly, hiding the sadness in his eyes.

“Nicholas Thompson, you should go find your other sister sooner, Ivy is not your sister, stop humiliating yourself.” Joshua Thompson patted his shoulder in a good-natured manner, his words were as sharp as ever.

He knew Nicholas regretted it, but is regret useful?

Who let him choose Gillian Thompson over Ivy at the beginning?

The world is not so benevolent that one can have everything they want.

Nicholas Thompson glanced deeply at Molly Walker and, in the end, said nothing. He walked over to the trash bin and picked up the finely carved box.

He gently wiped the surface of the box with his sleeve.

His movement was gentle, yet determined.

Seeing his lonely figure, Amanda Leaford felt a slight pang in her heart, but she just sighed.

While she wished for these children to live in harmony, everyone has their own fate, she did not want to impose any moral judgment on anyone.

Nicholas made mistakes, and he must bear the consequences of his actions.

Regarding forgiveness, it may take a long time before the scars can be covered, or they may never be.

Nicholas Thompson carefully put the box into his pocket. When he turned around, he found Molly Walker standing not far from him.

“Nicholas Thompson, do you really believe Gillian Thompson will reform?”

Nicholas Thompson stood upright and lowered his gaze: “I believe.”

He did not want to think ill of the person who stayed with him day and night when he was sick, the person who pulled him out of hell.

“Perhaps without me, Gillian will always be your kind-hearted sister.” Molly Walker suddenly laughed, “Looking at it this way, you’re not wrong in showing favoritism, it was indeed me who influenced her life.”

Nicholas Thompson opened his mouth, a lump formed in his throat.

“It would be nice if I had never appeared, then you all could live happily as a family.”

If she had never appeared…

Nicholas Thompson frowned, a sharp pain piercing through his heart.

If she had never appeared, they would never be able to reunite as a family.

Then Ivy would never be able to return.

For such a life, Gillian indeed might live happily. But would it be fair to Ivy?

She would be forever left in exile, unable to acknowledge her ancestry.

And Gillian, although she would always be spoiled by the Thompson family, would still be occupying the love that was meant for Ivy.

“Actually, it has nothing to do with your appearance.” Nicholas Thompson’s lips trembled slightly as he lifted his gaze, his voice hoarse, “You don’t have to say anything. After all, if you hadn’t appeared, perhaps mom may never have woken up.”

Ivy’s disappearance was the sorrow of the entire Thompson family, but Ivy’s appearance also healed their mother.

Nicholas had to admit that Ivy’s presence unlocked everyone’s hearts.

The hearts of their father, mother, and his brothers.

Only him, his pain lies with his other sister.

“What if I make you choose now? Nicholas Thompson, between me and Gillian Thompson, who would you choose?”
