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?"
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.
