Chapter 286: Let Her Go

Nicholas Thompson closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, he met Molly Walker's smiling eyes straight on.

Her beautiful eyes smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

She knew what he was going to say.

His heart seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, guilt forcing him to look away.

He clenched his teeth, pushed Joshua aside, and said to the people in the room, "I know, you all think I'm foolish, not caring about my own sister but caring about my adopted sister. But have you ever thought, this adopted sister was once our flesh and blood sister too…"

He looked at Joshua Thompson, and his pale face showed a bitter smile, "A few months ago, you were planning on going abroad to see Gabriel, talking about sending her off for marriage. And now in just three months, everyone has become like this…"

He walked pityingly towards Gillian Thompson, staring at her almost ruined face, and then his gaze fell on the crutch tucked under her arm.
