Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 421

She couldn’t just ignore the past. After all, there was a life waiting for her to uncover the truth - the life

of her biological mother!

Molly gripped her fork tighter.

In the afternoon, she didn’t return to the Byrne residence but rather to the Cedillo’s. Alone, she quietly

entered the room where her mother’s portrait was kept.

When Leo returned home in the afternoon, he saw Molly was there. Coincidentally, Mia had to go for a

medical checkup the next day. Her last medical report was at the Cedillo’s, so she decided to spend the

night there as well.

The three of them bumped into each other on the porch. “Oh, what a coincidence. We’re all here.”

Mia, oblivious to Molly’s unusual mood, waved at her husband. “Honey, look, the three of us are

together again.”

Molly interrupted, “Enough, Mia. I need to discuss something serious with you.”

Mia stopped. Her cheerfulness was subdued. Just moments ago, she was Andre’s sweet little wife.

Now, she was back to being the serious Mia. “What’s up?”

Molly took a deep breath. “You may have to help me with something. Leo said only you could help.”

Leo knew what Molly was planning. He was hesitant. What Molly said made sense, but he was still

worried. If Mia wasn’t pregnant, he would immediately support Molly’s plan. But now, Leo was worried.

He couldn’t bear the responsibility if anything happened to anyone.

In Molly’s bedroom, Mia sat on the bed, now with the posture of a expecting mother.

Molly started, “Mia, I need you to help me find someone. Tom.”

Mia looked at Molly in surprise.

Molly took a deep breath. “Don’t tell anyone else. It’s enough if only the three of us know.”

If their families knew, they would worry for her. They would act like when Mia was in danger, keeping

her indoors for more than ten days.

This time, she had a compelling reason to go.

Mia frowned. “Why do you want to find him?”

Molly explained, “Andre, Chad, and I are investigating an incident from sixteen years ago. I saw the

records from back then in my brother’s office. All those suspected of kidnapping died in prison, and

there are no leads now.”

Regarding the incident from years ago, Mia had learned quite a bit from her husband.

“We have identified a suspect and are looking for evidence to implicate him. And I might be the only

person who has seen the mastermind behind it all. If it’s not the Walton family, but someone else, then

even if Tom is captured, the real culprit is still at large. But if it is the Walton family, Andre and Chad can

proceed with the case based on my testimony.”

Mia pursed her lips, considering the feasibility of this plan.

Molly continued, “I believe that whether they’re good or bad, memories are precious. Mia, please help

me.”

Mia frowned. “Slow down. Let me think about it.”

Molly, fearing her refusal, said, “Mia, I want to find the person who killed my mother.”

Suddenly, Mia looked up into Molly’s eyes. Observing closely, she noticed that Molly’s eyelids were

slightly swollen. Molly said, “I’ve been in my mother’s room all afternoon. There’s only a black and

white photo of her in there. She has such a warm smile. If she were alive, she would be a kind-hearted,

warm old lady by now.

“But because of a fake body, because of her longing for me, because she couldn’t bear to see me

travel the road to the underworld alone, because she couldn’t let go of me, and because she wanted to

accompany her daughter on a lonely, cold journey, she left this world.”

As she spoke, Molly’s eyes reddened again. She took a deep breath to calm herself. “But I didn’t die.

She couldn’t find me on her journey to the underworld.”

Leo handed her a tissue.

Molly, with her red eyes and nasal voice, continued, “Mia, I don’t want my mother’s death to be in vain.

Whether the Walton family is the culprit or not, I need to personally find out. My two brothers are also

waiting for my validation. They’ve been keeping me in the dark to protect me.”

Mia said, “If something happens to you again, your father, and your Byrne family parents, they won’t be

able to handle it. Molly, you’re not just Molly anymore. Don’t forget you’re also living for Jade Byrne.

“I understand you want to find Tom and regain your memories, but what if you don’t get your memories

back and instead fall into danger? Would your mother in heaven be willing to see you in danger? Your

father is old, and he can’t handle the shock. Coleen and Kendrick see you as their pillar of strength.

Who can bear to see you hurt?

“I’m pregnant now. I can’t protect you and Leo. Tom is not just a simple driver. You’ve said it yourself.

He might be the one who hit Chad with his car. After that incident, even with so many police officers

involved, they couldn’t solve the case. That suggests he’s done this many times. He’s a cautious man.

The more cautious he is, the more dangerous he will be.”

Leo added, “Molly, I think Mia has a point. Your mother’s dying wish was probably for you to live well.”

For the first time, there was a disagreement in their small group. Molly looked at the two of them, who

were not on her side. She was the only one insisting. At this moment, she didn’t know what to do. It

was as if she was back in the past, when Andre was searching for her alone. Everyone told Andre that

his sister might not be in this world anymore, but he kept insisting. At this moment, Molly finally

understood how Andre felt back then.

Mia and Leo exchanged glances. They were also at a loss. The three of them sat in silence in the

room, each considering what they should do.

Then, a knock on the door broke the silence. It was Andre calling Mia for prenatal music therapy.

She stood up. “Molly, take tonight to calm down.”

As she left, Mia gave Leo a meaningful look, asking him to take care of Molly. Leo nodded.

Mia left the room and was led back to her bedroom by her husband. She was deep in thought. Andre

asked her, “What were you three discussing?”

Mia replied, “We were discussing whether to do something bad.”

Andre didn’t take it seriously, figuring it was just his wife trying to trick him. He affectionately said, “Still

planning to do bad things? You’re about to be a mother. You should set a good example for our child.”

Mia said, “Honey, you can be the role model. I definitely can’t be relied upon.”

Andre knelt down, gently rubbing his wife’s baby bump. Lately, the little one inside had been unusually

still. There were no more random kicks or playful interactions.

With a heavy heart, Mia woke up the next morning, not even bothering to freshen up before heading to

Molly’s room.

To her surprise, Molly wasn’t there. She quickly turned and went to the room where a black-and-white

picture of Molly’s mother was displayed, only to find Molly standing alone inside.

“What brought you here?” Molly asked.

Mia closed the door and stood next to Molly. “Why do you and my husband come here when you’re

feeling guilty? It’s like you think being here can somehow absolve your sins.”

Molly replied, “I don’t know what else to do.”

...

In the morning, Mia went to the hospital for a checkup, but her heart was still heavy. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

The doctor, used to seeing the energetic pregnant woman from Andre’s family, was surprised to see

her looking drained and listless. “Are you feeling okay? What happened to your usual spark?”

Among the pregnant women he saw daily, she was usually the most lively. Her pregnant belly appeared

to be merely a side accessory. She was usually cheerful and radiant, and her happiness was infectious

to those who helped her with her prenatal checkups.

But today, something seemed off.
