Nicole's heart lurched.
"Samuel, stop her!"
Although Dylan was a bastard, it was worth nothing that Michele killed the bastard at the cost of her
future.
She was only seven years old!
If she killed Dylan, it would be the taint in her life that she couldn't shake off.
Thinking of this, Nicole quickly ran into the room.
Samuel rushed up to grab Michele in the shortest time.
However, Michele was like an enraged wolf cub, struggling extremely.
"Let go of me! You let go of me!"
She waved the kitchen knife in her hand. And Samuel got a sudden cut on the back of his hand. She
was too angry to notice Samuel's cut. And her shout attracted the attention of Dylan and Molly.
"Michele? My daughter!"
Molly was defenseless against Dylan's beatings. And when Dylan heard Michele's voice, he thought
that she secretly ran back. Thinking of the money, he was in a rage.
"Little bitch, you actually dare to come back. I don't have money to give to your uncle."
As Dylan spoke, Nicole arrived in front of him and hit Dylan on the waist, kicking him away from Molly.
What she despised the most was a man who hit a woman!
He could do nothing outside the home and beat his wife and child at home. What a shameless man he
was.
Nicole took a step forward in exasperation and slapped Dylan in the face twice. She said angrily, "What
an ass! You are a man?"
Dylan was pissed off after being slapped twice by Nicole who rushed in. Hearing Nicole call him
names, he flared up at once.
"You're courting death!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand towards Nicole.
In Dylan's eyes, Nicole was as weak as Molly. However, before his hand could touch Nicole, Nicole
grabbed his wrist again. With a pull, Dylan's arm was dislocated.
Dylan screamed in pain.
It really hurt. His voice quivered with pain.
Nicole despised him for being too noisy. She picked up a rag and stuffed it into his mouth, and then
kicked him away.
Seeing Nicole beating Dylan, Molly was stunned.
Michele was controlled by Samuel. Waving the kitchen knife in her hand, she couldn't get rid of him.
When Molly noticed the clothes on Nicole and Samuel, her heart thumped.
"Who are you? Please let go of my daughter. I know that my useless husband sold Michele, but please
return the child to me. No matter how much he got, I will pay you back."
Molly knelt on the bed and kowtowed to them.
Nicole's heart was heavy as if it was stuffed with lead. And she felt sorry for Molly.
She supported Molly and whispered, "We are here to bring your child back. Please don't do this. It will
scare the child. Mother is the child's first teacher. What you are doing will give your child a sense of
insecurity."
Molly froze. And a trace of pain flashed across her face.
"Thank you."
Nicole looked at the new injuries and old wounds on Molly. It seemed that Dylan often abused her.
Nicole was shocked that domestic abuse really existed in today's society.
"Why are you so cowardly? You even endure being abused by that shit man. And it will have an
adverse effect on the child's growth."
Nicole knew that she shouldn't have said this. It wasn't up to Nicole to tell Molly how to deal with the
latter one's family matters, but she really couldn't bear to watch this.
"Samuel, let go of the child."
Nicole took a step back. And Samuel let go of Michele.
Michele immediately threw away the kitchen knife and ran into Molly's arms while crying.
"Mommy, are you in pain? I'll take you to the hospital! Where's the money I left for you? I'll take you to
the hospital!"
Michele was trying to help Molly up. She didn't even shed tears when she fell from the steel wire. But
now, she was wailing miserably. It was what a seven-year-old child would do in facing this. Nicole's
nose twitched and she held her tears back.
The child was so close with Molly.
However, Molly immediately noticed Michele's injured leg.
"What happened to your leg? Let me have a look."
"It's fine. I just stumbled. I'm okay. Mommy, you're still not well. I'll take you to the hospital. Mr. and Mrs.
Green have money. They'll pay for the bill. And I'll return the money to them."
Michele's words left Samuel slightly stunned.
The little girl no longer regarded him as a bad person but as her ATM.
However, when Samuel's eyes traveled over Molly's face, he was a little shocked. A realization
occurred to him.
Because he was in shadow, Molly did not see Samuel's face clearly. Although she sensed Samuel's
gaze, she did not have the nerve to look up. She whispered to Michele, "Michele, you can't do this."
"But Mommy, you are..."
"Please go to the hospital for a check. For your child and yourself, how can you endure being abused
by that man? He sold the child secretly when you got ill. What if it happens again? Do you think that the
child will be so lucky to get back to you again?"
Nicole was angry about Molly's attitude.
Well, the pathetic had some insufferable sides.
Molly was very pathetic, but she acquiesced in the violence. What she did was encouraging Dylan and
pushing herself and the child into the abyss.
Nicole felt sympathy for the child, but she was an outsider. Molly was the only one the child could
depend on.
Molly gritted her teeth, her tears shedding.
She hadn't expected that Dylan sold her daughter!
The thing also had a great impact on her.
Michele's hope extinguished as Molly kept silent.
Although she also hoped that her Mommy would leave Dylan, she could only be her Mommy's side if
Mommy did not want to.
The despair in Michele's eyes wrenched at Molly's heart.
She hugged Michele tightly and cried sadly.
Nicole was really annoyed.
"Moping won't do any good. As a mother, shouldn't you strive for a better future for your child? Now
Dylan is going to sell you into a nightclub. And he will also sell your daughter into that place in a few
years. Will you bear it?"
"No! No!"
When Molly thought of the thing that might happen, she trembled all over with terror.
How could her daughter be sold to that place?
She couldn't let that happen!
Since Molly cared about her daughter's future so much, Nicole wanted to have her another push. But
Samuel stepped forward and pulled Nicole back.
Nicole was puzzled.
However, Samuel looked at Molly and said word by word, "Molly, you were such a heroic figure. You
were the pride of the Hawk family! You were the pride of the country! Now you live like this. Do you
have the nerve to face me, your former comrades-in-arms, and your relatives?"
Molly was stupefied by this.
She looked up in disbelief.
When she saw Samuel's face which was so familiar, she was stunned.
Was this an illusion?
Her former captain was right in front of her?
Nicole was also shocked by Samuel's words.
What did he mean?
Samuel knew the woman in front of them?
From what Samuel said, Molly was a soldier and Samuel's comrades?
Really?
If she was such a heroic woman as Samuel said, how could she have such miserable life?
Michele was also stunned.
She thought Samuel and Nicole were human traffickers. And now, she couldn't believe that they knew
her Mommy.
From what the handsome man said, Michele felt that Mommy was very brave in the past.
Everyone was lost in thought because of Samuel's words.
However, Samuel put on a long face, heart ached. He said word by word, "Molly, attention!"
"Yes, sir!"
Molly pushed Michele away and stood in front of Samuel as a soldier when Samuel shouted the slogan
in a resounding voice. She carried the military discipline in her bones.
At this moment, she became totally different from the woman who just cried for herself.
Nicole stared at Molly in utter amazement.
Oh my god!
What exactly was going on?
Was Molly possessed by others?
However, Samuel did not care about how astonished his wife was. It really hurt Samuel to see Molly
like this. Eyes reddened, he said hoarsely, "Do you know it will break his heart to see you like this?
That time, he let you go because he wanted you to be happy. But now, look at yourself, what did you do
to yourself? What has the child suffered? Molly, what have you been doing all these years?"
Molly bit her lower lip, but she couldn't suppress the sorrow in her heart, bursting into tears. And then,
she hugged Samuel and lay on his shoulder crying bitterly.
It was reassuring that Samuel was in front of her. She had no one else to tell over the years. Only by
crying would she vent her grievances.
Nicole stared blankly at them. She thought that she would be sulky. But when she heard Molly's heart-
wrenching cry, her eyes turned red, and tears were falling down her cheeks.
Anyway, they were comrades in arms. Nicole allowed Molly to cry on her husband's shoulders for a
while.
Michele had never seen Molly cry so sadly since childhood.
Actually, she rarely saw Mommy cry. Even if her Mommy was beaten by Dylan, her Mommy never shed
tears. Only a few times, her Mommy cried because of her. Michele had never seen her Mommy cry so
loudly, which destroyed her tough image.
Michele was frightened.
"Mommy..."
Her voice was soft but piteous.
Nicole sighed and walked forward to pick up Michele. She comforted her in a low voice, "It's fine. Your
mommy has suffered too much these years. Let her cry for a while. It will make her feel better when
she cries."
Michele began to look at Nicole carefully. She realized that Nicole was really mild. Such a gentle
woman couldn't be a human trafficker. And they seemed to know Mommy.
She asked timidly, "Mrs. Green, you will help my mommy, won't you?"
"Yes."
Nicole nodded, but she was not sure.
Molly had not struggled or resisted for so many years. Would it make any difference because of their
arrival?
Nicole didn't know, but she didn't want to ruin the child's hope.
Right at this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside.
"Right here! That bitch brought the adulterer to beat me up! Today, I will beat her to death!"
It was Dylan's voice!
