Chapter 160: Awake?
As if to answer her, Amanda Leaford’s fingers moved again.
This time, Amelia Collins saw it clearly. She didn’t see it wrong, Amanda really moved!
“Someone come! Quickly! Mrs. Thompson is moving!’
As soon as these words were spoken, the servants who were standing outside rushed in like a swarm.
Mrs. Thompson is moving!
Ma’am is waking up!
The servants’ faces were filled with surprise and joy.
“You go and inform the Thompson family, I’ll give her a massage!” Amelia Collins made a quick decision. She strode over to Amanda Leaford’s side, rubbing her hands and feet.
Having studied nursing, she knew that besides needing someone to constantly call out to coma patients, they also needed massages to avoid cell necrosis.
Amelia Collins rubbed Amanda Leaford’s hand, and as she did so, Amanda’s hand gripped hers back.
Amelia Collins jolted, her eyes widening as they met Amanda’s beautiful eyes.
“Who are you?”
Amanda Leaford!s voice was hoarse and weak.
The others who saw this scene cried out in joy.
“Great! Mrs. Thompson is awake!”
‘Quickly inform Mr. Thompson and the young masters!”
In Molly Walker’s room at Rosewood Park in Sunnydale, the atmosphere was silent.
Gillian Thompson sobbed pitifully: “Dad was right, it was indeed Isabelle that did it. Mom told me not to be friends with Isabelle and asked me to persuade her to turn herself in. After I said a few words to Isabelle, she hit me with a vase, and Mom blocked it for me.’
“Isabelle threatened me, saying that if I expose this incident, she would retaliate against me. She even dared to harm my sister’s grandmother, killing me would be as easy as crushing an ant. At that time, you all were with my sister, I had no one to protect me, and I am disabled. If she did something to me, I wouldn’t even know how I died…
“She threatened me to say that the vase fell from the cabinet, so I had to grit my teeth and bear it.”
She cried intermittently as she explained.
Molly Walker sneered coldly, arms crossed, watching her performance silently.
“Did Mom say anything else in the recording?” Joshua Thompson obviously did not believe Gillian Thompson’s words and turned to Molly Walker.
Nicholas Thompson frowned, about to say something, but was glared at by
Joshua Thompson: “If you can’t speak, don’t.”
“Tell me everything you heard. I don’t trust anyone now but you.” Joshua Thompson’s words struck Gillian Thompson’s face.
Molly Walker’s lips curved upwards, casting a light glance at her.
Gillian Thompson’s shoulders trembled slightly, and she slowly lowered her head, her fingers nervously intertwined.
Molly Walker sneered: “Mom said a lot and even asked her why she wanted to harm her own family.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Gillian Thompson’s lips were pale, trembling like a sieve!
Only Amanda Leaford knew about Joshua Thompson’s matter, and now, Molly Walker knew too!
“Sister, don’t think that because Mom is not awake, you can falsely accuse me here! l, Gillian Thompson, may harm others, but I would never harm my family. The only wrong thing I did was to cover up for Isabelle. I swear to the heavens that if I did anything wrong to my family, I would be struck by lightning and not die a good death.”
In order to gain the trust of the Thompson family, she even swore such a poisonous oath.
As long as the Thompson family believed her, the poisonous oath would not matter.
She was not afraid of death, but she feared Daniel Thompson and Nicholas Thompson giving up on her.
Hearing such a poisonous oath, Nicholas Thompson’s face darkened: “Fourth Sister, what do you want Gillian to do? Do you have to force her to swear every oath possible?”
At first, Nicholas Thompson’s heart was somewhat cold, but upon hearing Gillian Thompson’s poisonous oath, his heart warmed up again.
Indeed, Gillian was not a cruel person. It was all because of Isabelle who threatened her.
“Gillian has already said that her most excessive action is covering for Isabelle. Fourth Sister, you have no evidence. Why do you claim that she is harming our family? Gillian has been with us for over twenty years, and we know her better than you do. As her elder sister, not only do you not sympathize with her feelings, but you always target her?” Nicholas
Thompson’s voice was cold as he questioned, his swollen face appearing quite comical.
Listening to his cold mockery, Molly Walker’s red lips ripple into a stunning sneer, “Evidence, didn’t you destroy it?”
Nicholas Thompson’s eyebrows tightened, and he remained silent.
Molly Walker looked at Gillian Thompson with a cold and breezy tone: “Gillian Thompson, do you think, as long as Mom doesn’t wake up, you can make black into white? As long as she doesn’t wake up, and Nicholas destroys the evidence, no one in this world can do anything to you?”
“What are you talking about! How could Mommy not wake up? Are you cursing Mommy?” Gillian Thompson laughed confidently and boldly. She adjusted her bangs and raised her volume, “The one afraid of Mom waking up should be you, right? More than anyone else, I hope Mommy wakes up because then you can’t frame me, and 1 can keep my innocence.”
With her thoughts exposed by Molly Walker, Gillian Thompson said those insincere words without changing her expression.
How could Mommy wake up? The doctor said that the chance of Mommy waking up was one percent.
She checked, and vegetative patients rarely wake up before several years. Isabelle had been so ruthless; it was impossible for Mommy to wake up so quickly.
In fact, Molly Walker was right. As long as there was no evidence, others couldn’t do anything to her.
But she still needed to maintain a polite front because Daniel Thompson and Nicholas were here. She couldn’t break with Molly Walker.
Daniel Thompson sat gloomily on the sidelines, not knowing what to think.
This was far from the retirement life he envisioned.
He wanted a harmonious family, not the current situation where brothers and sisters fought against each other.
Thinking that all this started after Molly Walker arrived, Daniel Thompson took a faint glance at her, his frown deepening.
He even wondered if things would have been better if he hadn’t acknowledged her in the first place?
At least when Amanda was conscious, she could talk to him instead of lying in bed now, unable to cry or laugh, and even needing someone to feed her.
At that moment, Daniel Thompson’s cell phone rang.
This ringtone was exclusively for Amanda; only when a message was related to her would the family servants call this number.
Daniel Thompson hurriedly answered the phone. Upon hearing the key point, he stood up excitedly.
“What did you say? Amanda woke up?”
Daniel Thompson was so delighted that his lips trembled, and his hand holding the phone shook constantly.
Everyone in the Thompson family looked at him in unison, and Daniel Thompson simply put the phone on speaker.
“Yes, Nir. Thompson, the lady is awake, and she’s having a meal. She asked me to call you to tell you to come home as soon as possible.”
Upon hearing this, Daniel Thompson and the Thompson brothers smiled happily.
Molly Walker was also excited, with eyes brimming with warmth.
Great, Mom is awake!
Only Gillian Thompson’s smile froze on her face, as if she couldn’t believe what she heard.
Awake?
Did Mommy really wake up?
Gillian Thompson’s body suddenly felt as cold as if it had been drained of blood, and her heart seemed to stop, unable to sense a beat.
Hearing the news, Nicholas Thompson hurriedly walked to her side, laughing with a swollen face, “That’s great, Gillian. Now that Mom is awake, she can testify for you!’
Testify?
Amanda Leaford to testify for her? To testify for what, to prove she harmed Joshua Thompson?
Gillian Thompson widened her eyes, her eyes stinging with tears.
How ironic!
She had just vowed, and Amanda Leaford woke up!
Waking up so quickly… was it to humiliate her?
After a few seconds, the blood returned, and Gillian Thompson’s cold, stiff body finally regained sensation.
“Yes, Mommy woke up; that’s so good.” Watching the happy Thompson family members hurry outside, Gillian Thompson tried hard to squeeze out a smile, but no matter how hard she tried, it looked like she was crying.
Nicholas Thompson didn’t notice her abnormality and pushed her wheelchair out: “Sister, Mom is awake, and no one dares to wrong you anymore.. If Mom knows the injustice you suffered, she will definitely stand up for you!
