Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 357

"I don't know anything? I know my sister has been miserable enough." Daniel said sadly, and thought, 'I've been thinking about recent events these days. Dad used to like gambling and every time Dad owed money, Molly paid him off. It's nothing different now, but the atmosphere at home is different. Recently, mom and dad are always talking and writing notes in their room. I often wake up in the middle of the night to see my father sneaking out until dawn. I don't know what happened, but I know something's wrong. I'm not a fool.' "Besides, Molly has called you father for so many years, and she has paid your debts for so many years. She even sacrificed herself just for you. Don't you think that you should stop thinking only of your reputation? She is your daughter!"

"Snap!" Steven slapped Daniel in the face. Daniel covered his face with his hand and looked at Steven's angry face. He wasn't that sure of his thoughts until this very moment. He glared at Steven, and said angrily, "Isn't my sister pitiful enough? You only cared about yourself. Why do you have to do this to her?"

"You know nothing!" Being locked up for several days, Daniel couldn't just contain his emotions. Steven cried out, "Do you know how it feels to see so many people dying in front of you? They were soldiers of this country, but they were not killed in battle, they were slaughtered. I can take the blame, but I want justice! Yet I am under house arrest. I can't do anything!"

"You want to get justice for them? What has this got to do with my sister?" cried Daniel. "You have to sacrifice my sister to get the justice you want?"

Steven's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He stared at Daniel for a while before saying with his gritted teeth, "Yes! I have to. If you want someone to blame, then blame the fact that she is that man's daughter."

Unknown to them, Molly entered the house silently and was standing in the room and heard their conversation. At that moment, instead of feeling sad and sorry for herself, she wanted to laugh for being so stupid for so many years.

When Daniel was about to respond to Steven, he suddenly saw Molly standing at the door, and he said stiffly, "Molly!"

Steven's expression changed when he heard it. He suddenly turned to the door and saw Molly's sad look. "Molly..."

Molly let out an awkward laugh and forgot what she was there for. She withdrew her gaze calmly and walked to the door.

"Molly!" Daniel hurried to the door and grabbed his sister in a hurry, "Molly…"

Molly stopped and looked back at Daniel. A smile formed into her lips, but she did not know why she could still smile despite what she had heard, "So... At least I'm worth something to you. It's not that bad!"

Molly smiled and touched Daniel's head. Daniel hated himself for asking his father that question today. If he had known that his sister would be back today, he would not have asked that question.

While thinking of this, Daniel realized something and said, "Hey, you can speak now? !"

Molly nodded. At the moment, she lost all the joy of being able to speak, and sadness swept through her. Sure enough, happy times were always short for her.

She looked at Steven and then said slowly, "Dad, what happened back then is really that important to you?"

"..." Steven said nothing, suddenly, he didn't know how to face his daughter after everything had happened.

Molly smiled, ignored Daniel, and walked out the door. Daniel was about to run after her, but was stopped by the bodyguard at the door.

Instead of getting out of the car, Brian sat in the car. When Molly came back, he frowned, looked back at the gate of the farm and asked, "Are you finished talking to them so soon?"

Molly nodded, and said, "Yes. I just made a quick check at them."

Brian looked at Molly with his sharp eyes as if he wanted to see through her. He knew she was lying, but he didn't push it further.

"Will..." Molly hesitated. "Will you spare my dad?"

Molly turned to Brian, pleading, "I can do anything you want in return."

Molly's voice had just recovered, and a deliberate vibration of the vocal chords had left her with a scratchy voice. At the moment, her voice, full of supplication, touched Brian's heart.

Brian looked at Molly affectionately, feeling a bit troubled and distressed. He said in a low voice, "What if... What if I wanted you to stay with me?"

Molly smiled sadly and asked, "Are you going to let me go?"

Brian's eyes were a little glassy. Molly's question made him question himself, 'She is right. Will I let her go?'

"Let my Dad be free." Molly leaned back in the chair, stared straight ahead and said, "I'm not going anywhere." She thought, "Even if you love Becky, or even if I don't deserve to be around you."

Brian felt Molly's sadness. His eyes deepened. He only had to make one phone call to know what was going on at the farm, but he already knew what was going on without asking.

Instead of answering Molly, Brian drove to the hospital. Molly did not ask if he would agree to spare her father. Both of them sat silently in the car, and neither of them was talking, which made the atmosphere in the car turned not as warm as before.

As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Molly got out of the car and walked inside without waiting for Brian. Quite surprised, Brian looked at her back and frowned. Just then, his phone rang, he took it out and answered it.

"Mr. Brian Long," Vincent said coldly on the phone, "I've arranged everything as you've asked."

"Okay," Brian replied, calmly watching Molly's back as she walked towards the hospital. "This time, I will explain it to conservative faction and reformist faction."
