The mother looked towards the living room with a puzzled expression.
"Maybe they're delivering milk."
As he spoke, the father continued reading the newspaper he hadn't finished earlier.
Just as her mother was about to get up to open the door, Molly suddenly stood up abruptly. Under the two questioning gazes, she said somewhat awkwardly:
"I'll go open the door..."
Molly's unusual behavior was met with indifference from her parents, who simply pursed their lips, thinking it was probably just some 'strange' thoughts from a teenage girl.
Molly had already reached the door, her hand on the doorknob...
But for some reason, it never turned.
dong dong...
The knocking sounded again, but Molly still didn't open the door, her expression growing increasingly uneasy. Her mother's hesitant voice came from behind her:
"Molly? What's wrong? Why won't you open the door?"
"I…
I'll start it now...
Molly trembled as if startled, then, as if she had made a great decision, she yanked the door open.
Outside the door, a familiar figure stood. The moment Molly saw her face, she froze…
Molly…
We...we've finally found you...
Connie's tears welled up instantly, and she rushed forward to hug Molly, who had grown up and was even taller than her.
But Molly's expression gradually changed from surprise... to calm, and finally to indifference...
She remained motionless, letting Connie hold her, her eyes scanning the others standing behind Connie…
Max, Lyle, and…
Thunder.
"Molly...is it really you...?"
Do you know how long I've been looking for you? Turns out you've been hiding in Moxig all this time, if it weren't for Lei…”
Max's eyes reddened and his voice choked as he spoke.
But Molly remained unmoved…
"Molly?! Who's here?"
At that moment, the mother's voice came from the dining room, and she and the father appeared at the door...
Connie's eyes widened the moment she saw the two of them!
She quickly let go of Molly, took several steps back, and covered her mouth tightly with both hands, her face full of disbelief.
Max and Lyle also took a half step back as if they had seen a ghost... their expressions were exactly the same as Connie's.
Even Lei Ming's gaze towards them carried a hint of doubt and solemnity.
Connie pointed a finger at the two people who had come to Molly's side, holding her protectively in their arms, and asked, somewhat stammeringly:
“Mo…Molly…”
She...they are...your...
"Yes…
They are my father and mother.
Before she could finish asking, Molly, with an indifferent expression, blurted out without hesitation.
"But...but your parents died when you were nine years old..."
Upon hearing this, Connie's expression became even more panicked, and she couldn't continue speaking.
Molly's parents were undocumented immigrants who died in an accident at the border when she was nine years old...
This was something they all already knew, including Lei Ming.
They even saw one of the few belongings Molly's parents left her, a photograph...
They looked almost exactly like the two people in front of them, except that they were older than they appeared in the photo. If they were really Molly's living parents, their ages would be appropriate.
Moreover, her X-ray vision couldn't detect anything unusual about their bodies; they were just ordinary humans!
Connie's eyes lit up, wondering if the immigration office had made a mistake back then, or if there was some other reason that led Molly to believe her parents were dead... but they weren't!
Just as she thought her guess was correct and was feeling happy for Molly, Lei Ming suddenly reached out and pulled her behind him...
Then, under the wary gazes of Molly and her 'parents'... he slowly walked up to her and said in a serious tone:
Molly…
I don't know how they did it, but these two people aren't your real parents…
"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?!"
Upon hearing this, Molly's 'father' angrily stepped forward to shove Lei Ming away, but the next second he felt as if his hands were pressed against a city wall...
No matter how hard I tried, the other party remained completely still... without even swaying.
"Ceres! Don't do anything, come back quickly..."
Molly's mother called out anxiously and stepped forward to try to pull her husband away, her panic in her eyes was unmistakable.
This is why Lei Ming always had a solemn expression.
He saw through telepathy that their memories were filled with recollections of their lives as a family of three, from their births, school days, meeting, dating, marriage, all the way to Molly's birth and growth...
Everything was perfect, and the two of them were indeed just ordinary people with bodies that matched their ages.
If Lei Ming hadn't confirmed through telepathy that Molly's parents were indeed dead, he probably wouldn't have noticed the problem.
Even so… he still couldn’t produce any concrete evidence to prove that the two people were imposters, and considering Molly’s feelings, he didn’t intend to take any rash action…
The only thing that's certain is... they are definitely not Molly's real parents.
At this moment, Molly, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up.
"I'm sorry, if you have nothing else, please go back..."
This is my home, and they are my father and mother. I have a real family!
After saying that, she pulled the two of them and turned to go into the house.
"Molly...wait a minute..."
Connie couldn't help but call out to her again, but when she got to the point, she didn't know what to say, so she looked at Lei Ming with pleading eyes.
Molly looked at the group of people before her, her expression calm... but a hint of hesitation lingered deep in her eyes...
It seems that deep down... she is also hoping for something.
But faced with the silent crowd, her hesitation gradually turned into resolve, and her hope... turned into despair...
"Please don't bother me if you have no evidence..."
I'm with my family now, and I'm doing very well.
After saying that, she turned around without looking back, but just as she closed the door, a voice sounded behind her…
"The evidence has always been in your memory..."
Isn't that so?
Upon hearing these words, Molly suddenly stopped closing the door and froze in place.
After a long pause, she finally turned to look at the person who had spoken…
Lei Ming lowered his eyes, seemingly unwilling to look directly into her eyes.
"you…
How do you know…?
Molly stared at him blankly, her eyes gradually turning red.
"Speak!"
How did you know?
I never told you... not even Peggy and Drake! How did you know?!
You're just making wild guesses, aren't you!
Seeing that Lei Ming remained silent, she quickly walked up to him, tightly gripped his clothes, tears streaming down her face, and asked in a trembling voice, almost pleading:
"Tell me... you're just guessing, aren't you?"
Please…
tell me…"
Seeing Molly like this, Connie and Max both felt sorry for her, but could only turn their gazes to Thunder…
