Chapter 220 From Now On, She Is Molly
Cindy looked at Shawn and asked, "Shawn, did you stay up late again last night?"
Shawn, feeling guilty, mumbled, "You all keep nagging all the time. It's driving me crazy. I'm going to sleep." He didn't want to listen to their scolding, so he decided to make a run for it.
As he was about to go up the stairs, Patrick blocked his way. "Hand over your phone and go back to sleep." Shawn retorted, "You all are insane!"
In the end, Patrick successfully confiscated Shawn's phone, and Shawn went back, cursing under his breath.
Before going to bed that night, Shawn began planning how to send Patrick off to Cherry Villa.
At the Chase Villa, Mia, Ellie, and Timothy talked late into the night. She hadn't told them her decision; she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Later, Ellie asked her, "When are you planning to change your identity?"
"Mom."
Ellie smiled at her.
Mia moved closer and hugged her. "Mom, are you angry?"
Ellie shook her head, not wanting to burden her.
Mia finally decided to change her identity the next day. Ellie looked at her and said, "Maybe it's fate. Molly, to me, you will always be Mia. If you ever feel uncomfortable living with the Olteran family, come back to me, to my arms." Mia nodded to Ellie.
She now had two homes, as well as two families who loved her.
The next day, Patrick came to pick up Mia.
Sebastian looked at the photos of Mia and them, remaining silent for a long time.
After Mia left, Timothy and Ellie cried uncontrollably.
Timothy's eyes were also red.
In the afternoon, a new person named Molly appeared in the world, and from then on, Mia ceased to exist.
After becoming Molly, she got into the car and started crying as soon as she left the office.
Having been Mia for fifteen years, she now suddenly became Molly.
Molly cried, not letting anyone come near her.
Looking at the unfamiliar state ID, she pulled out the state ID she had later reissued from her pocket.
She cried as she held the "Mia" state ID close to her heart.
If she could, she truly wished Mia were still alive.
After changing her state ID, Patrick drove directly to the Chase family.
"Patrick?" Molly was puzzled.
Patrick turned to her and said, "Instead of going home to celebrate, you probably want to be with them more right now."
Molly's tears flowed uncontrollably again.
"Go on."
Molly asked, "What about Shawn, Vincent, and Cindy?"
Patrick looked at her and said, "When we were kids, I could handle everything for you. Now that we're grown, I still can. Just be yourself and do whatever makes you happy. Leave everything to me." Mia got out of the car, crying.
She watched Patrick leave.
Turning around, she took out her keys and returned to the empty house.
The Chase family members were not there.
After a while, Ellie came back with swollen eyes from crying.
She was accompanied by Timothy and Sebastian, who had gone with her to cancel Mia's registration.
They opened the door and saw Molly sitting on the sofa.
"Mia?"
Their sadness was immediately noticed by Molly.
In fact, she knew that by resuming her identity as Molly, Timothy and Ellie would be sad, but they never showed it in front of her. "Mom."
Molly ran to them, crying.
Sebastian asked her, "Why did you come back?"
Molly replied, "Patrick brought me here. He knew I needed you right now."
When Patrick returned home and saw the lively scene, he disrupted the atmosphere.
Shawn was increasingly displeased with Patrick. "Where's your sister?"
"I sent her to the Chase family."
Shawn raised his hand, ready to hit him.
Patrick said, "Do you want your daughter to stay with us in tears, or do you want her to be happy?"
Shawn fell silent.
The lively atmosphere at the Olteran family was cut short by Shawn's order.
He called Molly.
"Hello, Dad."
Standing by the window, Shawn tried to sound as cheerful as possible. "Molly, have you eaten?"
"We're about to eat. Have you?"
Shawn replied, "I've already eaten. I just wanted to tell you to have a good time at the Chase family, spend more time with Timothy and Ellie. Whenever you want to come back, our door is always open for you." Molly was silent for a moment before she agreed, "Okay."
For the first time since becoming herself again, a relieved smile appeared on her face. Sebastian came out holding a bottle of drink and stood beside her. "Your favorite." Molly took it and said, "Sebastian, my dad just called me. Guess what he said?"
Sebastian asked, "What?"
"I thought he'd be angry that I came back today. But he wasn't at all. He even told me to spend more time with our parents. He didn't pressure me, just like you all. Even though he misses me, he didn't put any burden on me. I feel so blessed to be loved by you all."
Sebastian smiled and turned to look at the scenery in the yard. "Those who love you are also blessed."
The Chase family and the Olteran family had silently reached an unspoken agreement.
Molly followed her heart in deciding where to live.
However, it wasn't just her parents from both sides who loved Mia; there were also Zoey and Max from her hometown.
When they learned about Mia's situation during their treatment, they were so upset that they took a night bus back to their hometown for treatment.
Over the past few days, the Chase family had been persuading them to return for treatment.
Molly personally called them, "Please come back. No matter who I am, I am still your beloved granddaughter."
Zoey said, "Mia, you go back and tell the Olteran family they made a mistake. You are my granddaughter and have nothing to do with their family. Without my genes, how could you be so beautiful?"
Max grabbed the phone to talk to Mia, "Mia, listen to me, we don't acknowledge the Olteran family."
Molly said, "But my identity information has already been changed."
With that one sentence, she successfully angered them enough to come to Zandonick.
"Mia, if you really want to be a child of the Olteran family, fine. But we must visit them! I want to see who dares to take my granddaughter."
They were old and unaware of the Olteran family's power. Living in their hometown for a long time, their thoughts were closed off, and they believed their son was a high-ranking official and their daughter-in-law was wealthy, making their family the most powerful.
However, when Molly brought the Chase family to visit the Olteran family, Max stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the luxurious villa.
This didn't look like a poor family at all.
"Mia, what's the price of houses in this neighborhood?"
Molly replied, "This isn't a neighborhood; this is the Olteran family estate."
When Molly arrived, the servants quickly opened the door to welcome her.
Shawn also learned that the Chase family was visiting and told Vera in advance. "Vera, we have guests coming over soon. You and Patrick better treat me well and not talk bad about me in front of them."
Vera found him endearing. "Shawn, do you think I'm someone who lacks tact? How could I possibly speak ill of you in front of others? We can joke around in private, but with guests, I will surely respect you."
