He said every word seriously.
Inez, Molly and Marlin were furious!
Molly by the railing looked at me with envy and hate.
She wanted to kill me now.
When I hesitated to answer him, I heard another voice from the entrance of the roof, “let me go up. Molly, my baby granddaughter.”
“Grandma!”
I turned and saw Sherry standing at the door.
And there was no one around to hold her!
I shook off Sean’s hand and rushed over to help sherry.
At the same time, I took a look in the direction of the rooftop passage.
A figure in a white coat just left.
Sherry leaned on me. She was very weak. She looked at Molly in the distance and raised her hand tremblingly.”Molly, come down.”
“No, grandma. I don’t want to live in this world.”
Molly said and cried.
But I couldn’t see sadness and surprise in her face. She was not worried about Sherry at all.
It was like Sherry was just a prop she used.
Sherry grabbed my hand and kept shaking, “Molly, don’t scare grandma.”
She was clearly having trouble breathing when she spoke.
I was scared, “grandma, go down and have a rest. We will deal with it!”
I wanted Sherry to leave.
But Sherry grabbed the wall with one hand.”No, I won’t leave. I want to see Molly come down.”
I knew she was worried about Molly.
I could only shout to Molly, “Molly, come down!”
“No. I was raped. My baby is dead. Sean doesn’t want to marry me. I have no hope.”She paused after saying that.”June, you have to take care of our grandma and parents for me.”
She wanted to jump again.
“No, Molly!”
Sherry didn’t know just now. She saw Molly like this and she was scared and wanted to move on.
But she was so weak that she began to feel cold.
I was scared and said to Sean, “call the doctor!”
Sean immediately asked Luke to call a doctor.
Inez seized the opportunity,” President Jessop, please promise to marry Molly. We just want her to live!”
Molly lost three things. The first two wouldn’t come back, but Sean was here.
Sherry listened and looked at Sean and me.
She hesitated for a long time and said, “June, let Sean bring Molly down.”
Sherry said.
Wasn’t that what Molly wanted?
Molly was standing there and teetering. But when she heard Sherry, she said, “No. I want him to promise to marry me and not leave me. All I want in my life is Sean.”
“It’s impossible.”
No one spoke but Sean refused.
Molly squatted down and slowly sat on the edge of the roof. She looked back at us and said, “I see. Goodbye…”
“No! Don’t jump!”
Sherry was having more and more trouble breathing and her face was pale.
Three doctors came up. One of them had a stretcher.
But Sherry didn’t want the doctor to touch her. She said to Sean, “I know you love June, but Molly’s life is also important. Please marry her.”
Finally, Sherry pleaded with Sean.
She looked at me, “June, I beg you to let Sean say yes. Grandma will find you a good husband later.”
Now sherry who was lying in my arms was very weak.
She covered her chest with one hand.
I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I nodded, “OK, grandma. I will do whatever you say as long as you follow the doctor now.”
“You must go back to the ward at once, or your life will be in danger.”
The doctor said by the side.
I was afraid something would happen to Sherry, so I could only look up and pleaded with Sean,” President Jessop, please marry my sister.”
As soon as I finished, I began to cry unconsciously.
I realized I was crying when I felt my cheeks were wet and hot.
Sean looked at me as if there was something in his black eyes. He reached out and wiped away my tears.
He said nothing.
I felt Sherry’s weakness. I knew I couldn’t delay. I begged him,” President Jessop, please marry my sister and save my grandmother.”I was afraid he wouldn’t agree, so I added, “you just said that as long as I say you will agree to everything.”
Sean gave a wry smile at what I said.
He was silent for a while and then looked at me and said, “I said it. I also said that I would keep my promise.”
I saw that Sean’s eyes were a little bit wet.
I seemed to see fog in his dark eyes which were as quiet as water.
He looked at Molly and said, “OK, I’ll marry you.”
“Really?”
Molly was overjoyed.
Sean walked up to Molly and she didn’t say no.
Sherry was relieved. The doctor put her on a stretcher. Sherry took my hand. I heard her whisper, “June, I’m sorry.”
I had been looking at Molly and Sean.
I saw Sean walk over and pick Molly up from the railing. He carried her to the crowd.
Molly put her hands around his neck. There was a happy smile on her face.
Then the doctor left with Sherry. I followed them downstairs.
I saw Luke downstairs. He lowered his head and looked a little depressed.
But I didn’t talk to him. I went to Sherry’s ward and got my bag. I went downstairs and found a quiet place to sit down.
I could just see where Molly wanted to jump.
There were many people around. The police were tidying up the mats on the ground.
There were patients and medical staff coming and going.
I heard them say, “the woman who just wanted to jump is the one in the news the other day. She was raped by the gangsters. Sean is willing to marry her. He’s such a good man.”
“Yes, this woman is very lucky.”
“Sean is handsome, rich and infatuated. There are few such men!”
I listened to people’s conversations and bit my lips to keep from crying.
Finally, my tears no longer flew. When I got up and wanted to go back to the inpatient department to see sherry, I saw Jessica coming in my direction with her phone.
