Gillian Thompson’s forced smile on her face became even more rigid.
If Amanda Leaford knew what she had said and done, she would probably skin Gillian alive, let alone stand up for her. It was simply a pipe dream.
Now she could only hope that when Amanda woke up, she wouldn’t recover too quickly. If she could have a clichéd bout of amnesia, it would be even better!
But she was destined to be disappointed.
At the Thompson family’s estate, Amanda Leaford took a comfortable bath and had a cozy meal, finally regaining some energy.
The family doctor examined her from head to toe, confirming that there were no major problems with her body. “This is truly a miracle!”
The family doctor exclaimed again.
It was already rare for someone in a vegetative state to wake up, let alone so quickly. This was the first time he had ever encountered such a case in his life.
Amanda Leaford touched the back of her head several times, feeling a bit uneasy. At that time, she only felt a sharp pain in her head, followed by the loss of consciousness.
Fortunately, she wasn’t unconscious for long.
“Where are Gabriel and the others? Haven’t they returned yet?” Amanda Leaford lightly raised her distant mountain-like eyebrows as if growing impatient.
“They are already on their way. Mr. Thompson and the others were very happy when they heard that you were awake. Would you like me to give you another massage?” The servant offered gently and patiently.
This was Amelia Collins’ request, as Amanda had been bedridden for too long, her legs were weak and needed massage therapy to recover.
If there was someone most important in this house, it would undoubtedly be Mrs. Thompson.
The strict security at the Thompson family estate was all for her sake.
It was said that Daniel Thompson was handsome and wealthy when he was young, but he only loved Amanda Leaford. He pursued her for several years, while Amanda had a long line of suitors when she was young, some of whom were more handsome and richer than Daniel. Yet, Amanda chose him resolutely.
Unfortunately, after giving birth to Ivy Thompson, Amanda went insane and spent over twenty years in madness. Even so, Daniel never considered seeking comfort elsewhere. He rejected all advances from other women with sharp words, only cherishing his wife.
Whenever their story was mentioned, the servants would envy them.
A devoted couple, sticking together until the end, Daniel and Amanda’s love was a positive force in the world of romance.
“I’ll do it,” Amelia Collins said as she frowned while watching the servants massage Amanda. They were not professionals, and couldn’t hit the right spots. Professional habits made her want to take matters into her own hands.
Feeling guilty for living off the Thompsons for so many days, Amelia thought she might as well do something within her capacity to help.
“Sorry to trouble you,” Amanda said with embarrassment. “As Ivy’s friend, you really shouldn’t have to do this.”
It had to be admitted that among so many people, only Amelia Collins’ massage technique was on point. The others did not seem to know whether they were too afraid or too weak, but their massages were neither painful nor relieving. Only when Amelia started, did Amanda’s feet begin to feel the sensation.
From Amelia’s movements, it was evident that she was a professional, hitting all the right acupoints.
“Tell me what has happened these days. How are Ivy and the baby in her
The child who had been lost for many years was what Amanda cared about the most. Ivy had suffered for so many years, and Amanda wanted to cherish her in the remaining time she had left.
Amelia raised her head and saw Amanda staring at her intently.
Amelia told Amanda everything she knew.
When Amanda heard that Molly Walker’s baby was exposed, and both Jeremy Norman and celebrity Harry Lambert were fighting to be the baby’s father, she burst into laughter.
“How interesting, I didn’t expect these two to fight over being a happy father.”
Amelia Collins repeated the news of Gillian Thompson taking over the Thompson family company’s major project.
“Mrs. Thompson, I heard that Mr. Thompson and Molly Walker had a falling out because of this incident…” Amelia hesitated, not daring to say the words “severing ties” out loud, after all, this was just a news report, and the real situation had to be asked from the persons involved.
Hearing that Daniel Thompson had a falling out with Molly Walker for Gillian Thompson’s sake, Amanda Leaford’s eyes turned cold.
Before fainting, she and Gillian Thompson had also been close to severing their relationship, but in such a short period of time, Gillian Thompson had already driven a wedge between Ivy Thompson and Daniel Thompson’s relationship.
“What a fool.” Amanda Leaford frowned, her words full of discontent.
In her unconscious days, Daniel Thompson didn’t care about his own daughter, but instead cared about an ungrateful person!
Amelia stealthily glanced at her, knowing that she was talking about Daniel Thompson.
As an outsider, she couldn’t understand Daniel Thompson’s attitude either. Logically speaking, after a long-lost daughter has returned, one should spoil her, so how could she end up worse off than an adopted daughter!
Thinking of the injustice Molly suffered, Amanda Leaford couldn’t hold her anger in.
“Give me the cell phone!” She reached out to the servant, intending to call Daniel Thompson herself.
Just as she took the cell phone, a servant outside rushed in and whispered, “Mr. Thompson is back.”
Amanda Leaford’s hand paused, and she immediately got up, walked a few steps, her legs became weak, and Amelia Collins immediately caught her.
At this moment, Daniel Thompson hurried in and saw her, his eyes welling with tears in excitement, “Amanda, you’re awake! Why don’t you rest more in bed?”
Then, Damian Thompson, Joshua Thompson, and Nicholas Thompson also entered.
Amanda Leaford didn’t even look at Daniel Thompson, and waved at Molly
Walker in front of her, “Ivy, you come here.”
Molly smiled, and walked forward, softly asking, “Mom, how are you feeling?”
“Nothing serious.” Having said that, she glanced at Gillian Thompson, who was lagging behind.
Gillian Thompson was controlling her wheelchair herself, moving slowly, seeing Amanda Leaford really awake, trembling all over, wishing she could find a hole to bury herself in and lower her presence.
Fortunately, Amanda Leaford just glanced at her and didn’t say anything.
Seeing himself being ignored, Daniel Thompson was a little displeased, but didn’t show it, instead thickening his face and getting closer to Amanda Leaford, “Amanda, aren’t you going to ask me how I’ve been these days? You don’t even care about me.”
Amanda Leaford glanced at him coldly and sneered, “What’s the point of caring? Haven’t you given Ivy’s project to someone else? I heard that you even wanted to sever ties with her. What’s the point of caring about you? Would it be that you have become foolish or are you under some sort of spell?” The atmosphere suddenly turned chilly.
“You just woke up; don’t worry about so much…” Daniel Thompson’s face turned red, and he stammered.
Hearing the words “given to someone else,” Gillian Thompson’s nose turned sour, and she lowered her head in grievance.
This “someone else” was none other than her.
Amanda Leaford no longer hid her disgust for her in front of the Thompson family.
Seeing Gillian Thompson’s downcast look, Nicholas Thompson’s eyebrows furrowed, and a touch of pity appeared in his eyes. He stepped forward and said to Amanda Leaford, “Mom, Gabriel is not an outsider. She has been with us day and night for so many years and has long been our close relative. What you said will make her upset.”
Amanda Leaford ignored his words and looked at his face in astonishment, “What happened to your face?”
“l hit him.” Joshua Thompson came forward nonchalantly, sneering sarcastically, “He treats Gillian Thompson as his real sister but treats Molly as an adopted sister. I beat him to make him sober up, but he is still just as stupid..”
