The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce

Chapter 512: Chapter 507: Lifesaving Straw_1
 

Molly Walker crossed her arms, her lips curled into a playful smirk, which was three parts teasing and seven parts sarcastic.

Nicholas Thompson looked at her and frowned slightly, “Don’t ask such childish questions.”

“Childish…” Molly Walker laughed softly with her head low, “I know the answer. I just wanted to ask you, Nicholas Thompson. I have no other requirements, only that you take good care of Gillian Thompson. She and Ethan Hopkins are not easy to handle. If I get wind of anything they’ve done to betray our family, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

She had been kind enough to Gillian Thompson already, but it didn’t mean she would indulge her forever.

Nicholas Thompson stared at her, his fingers moving slightly before he hoarsely said, “Don’t worry.”

Nicholas Thompson knew that this was her final bottom line.

As long as he helped the Hopkins family rise again, Gillian Thompson wouldn’t do anything to harm the Thompson family.

He was sure he could guarantee this.

“You guys go and see dad first, I will go for a check-up.” Nicholas Thompson headed to the stairwell to find the attending physician he had consulted earlier.

Since he had decided to donate a kidney, it would be best to have the compatibility test done earlier and help his father recover sooner.

After Nicholas Thompson left, Molly Walker also received a message: Boss, it’s done.

What was done? Of course, it was the matter of Scarlett Jackson.

Molly Walker thought of the pleading Scarlett Jackson and pondered a little.

She didn’t expect Scarlett Jackson to ask her for help.

At that time, she had already heard the voice of Scarlett Jackson and had also seen Jerry Jenkins.

She simply pressed a button on her watch, and the bodyguards arrived quickly.

The watch from the Thompson family was quite useful. Those bodyguards were like hundreds of them mixed in various places, with every dozen or so people managing one area. She also mixed in her team members.

There were many talents in “W”, but there was never a chance to bring these people out. Now an opportunity had presented itself.

“How is Scarlett Jackson?”

“She was scared and didn’t dare to leave the house. She insisted on seeing you and said that she would not leave unless she saw you.”

See her?

Molly Walker raised an eyebrow.

She didn’t think Scarlett Jackson just wanted to thank her in person. Given Scarlett Jackson’s character, she most likely wanted to seek her protection.

She flipped over her cell phone and shot Damian Thompson a glance.

Seeing Molly Walker staring at her cell phone, Damian Thompson knew she was busy with something. He gently said, “We are here with dad, you can go and tend to your matters.”

Joshua Thompson wanted to leave with Molly Walker, but he was stopped by Damian Thompson, “You stay.”

Joshua Thompson pouted and reluctantly stayed in place, “Brother, don’t be so biased.”

“Dad’s not in good health now, the more people taking care of him, the better.” Damian Thompson said gently with a smile, his soft face showed no other emotions.

Joshua Thompson shrugged and reluctantly walked into the hospital room.

With Damian Thompson’s approval, Molly Walker left without hesitation.

She didn’t have much affection for Daniel Thompson anyway. Besides, there were already enough people here.

She wanted to see what exactly Scarlett Jackson wanted to tell her that prompted Jerry Jenkins to silence her.

As soon as she left, Daniel Thompson woke up.

The first thing he did when he woke up was look for Molly Walker. With a quick sweep of his eyes, he found his wife.

“Amanda, you’re here?” Daniel Thompson lifted his wrist and saw the band on it, looking somewhat stunned. “What happened to me?”

Things that required this kind of device were usually not good news.

“You have uremia, late-stage. You won’t live long.” Joshua Thompson strode in, looking leisurely at him. “You better cherish the remaining time.”

Upon hearing the term “uremia”, Daniel Thompson’s face quickly lost color.

Even without having suffered from the disease, he had heard about it. At his age, he had heard about all kinds of diseases.

The last classmate he knew had died from uremia.

Uremia, kidney failure, was almost as good as a death sentence.

“Uremia… You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about! Are you tricking me?”

He was fine, how could he suddenly have uremia?!

He had worked hard for the first half of his life and had not had the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of his labor before his death.

“Amanda… Amanda, tell me quickly, is what he said true? Are you tricking me, trying to scare me?” Daniel Thompson panicked. However, as he tried to sit up, he collapsed from lack of strength.

Seeing him like this, Amanda Leaford forced herself to look away without showing any softness. “You don’t know that you’ve been drinking soda for a month? I really can’t see how you’ve survived to such an old age, drinking soda like water. I think you just don’t want to live.”

Upon hearing this, Daniel Thompson’s face turned a mix of blue and purple.

“The doctor said I got uremia from drinking soda?” Thinking of his indulgence over the past month, Daniel Thompson felt a chill.

Indeed, he was drinking sweet beverages with every meal. Only doing so could he relieve his anxiety.

Not only that, ever since trouble found his home, he had developed a distaste for plain water.

People in the world of the wealthy couldn’t understand him, but he alone knew that life was bitter, and only what he drank tasted sweet.

Seeing his face turn the color of a pig’s liver, Amanda Leaford understood him well.

When he was with her, he loved to drink sweet drinks.

“The doctor said it can’t be entirely determined that your lifestyle caused this. There are many reasons for this disease.” Amanda Leaford sighed. Although he had become despicable, she couldn’t feel happy seeing him suffering from this illness.

“Uremia… Hahaha… Uremia…” Daniel Thompson suddenly began laughing loudly. But as he was laughing, his eyes filled with tears.

He glanced at his wrist and sighed sarcastically, “What will be, will be. Seems like I’ve faked being sick so many times, the heavens couldn’t stand it any longer and want to take me away.”

“Amanda, I agree to your divorce.”

“My days are numbered anyway. Being with you, I’m just dragging you down. You should go and find your happiness sooner.” After saying this, Daniel Thompson lowered his head in sadness and couldn’t help but use his sleeve to wipe away his tears.

He had refused for a few days, but now he agreed readily.

Amanda Leaford frowned, “You should focus on getting better first.”

“Getting better?” Daniel Thompson was stunned, “Can this disease be cured?”

“If you have a kidney transplant, you can still survive. Nicholas has already gone for tests. If there’s no problem, he will donate his kidney to you.” Amanda Leaford spoke lightly, but actually her heart was bleeding.

Nicholas was the child she had carried for ten months of pregnancy, but now he had to lose a kidney for Daniel Thompson.

He was her flesh and blood, how could she not feel pain?

But Nicholas was also Daniel Thompson’s son.

She feared that if she intervened, her children would blame her later.

“Donating a kidney to me? Nicholas…” Daniel Thompson’s eyes immediately reddened. “I’ve always let this child do as he pleases, rarely taking care of him, but he’s still willing to donate a kidney for his old dad… I owe this child…”
