To clam down her nerves, Molly closed her eyes and swallowed hard. When she opened her eyes
again and looked around, she was mortified to meet Brian's eyes. A scream of terror instinctively
escaped her.
"Are you so scared of me?" Brian asked casually, obvious anger showing in his words.
The pain in her back and strange feeling in the head brought her back to the present.
The cut in her back began to scab, but yesterday, the fall might have opened it up again...
While she thought of this, it suddenly dawned on her that she had rolled down the stairs last night.
"Is it you who brought me to hospital yesterday?" The Dragon Empire Group logo on the wall brought
her to terms with where she was.
"Who else would you expect?" Brian asked sullenly.
"Thank you, " softly, she replied.
Even though Brian was the source of all her pain, she was grateful he had brought her here last night.
The grateful attitude lit up Brian's eyes, for a moment. It was his mistake that she had fallen, and he
had thought she'd be livid.
There came a knock on the door. The doctor and nurse came in, followed by Tony, holding something
in his hand.
After routine examination, the doctor roughly reported the situation to Brian. Luckily, there's nothing
serious except that the hit on the head was strong enough to cause a slight concussion. The scab on
her back was torn again, and was likely to leave a scar, but there was no need to worry. If she thought
the scar was too ugly, she could choose to do a reconstructive surgery... And there were also other
measures which could be taken.
Molly wasn't in the mood to think about that. Also, it might not be an issue, because the scar was on
her back and it really wouldn't matter.
Brian nodded to the doctor coldly and then the doctor excused himself politely and left the ward
together with the nurse.
Moving closer, Tony took out what he had in hand. He said calmly, "Last night, accomplices of the
notorious Bikers in A city lost money in the dark night racing. So they just ganged up in frustration and
started robbing people."
For a moment, Tony paused and fixed his eyes on Molly. "Well, Eric has taken the money back. But the
cellphone was not stolen by those people. Sometime later in the night, Park Shin Chun went to the
South Street Alley to have?midnight?snack?and his fans were eccentric. So the whole situation went
out of control. It must have been then that Molly's phone was stolen."
Molly was in an advanced but not big ward, so even though she didn't look at Brian and Tony, she still
could hear Tony clearly. What was more, Tony's voice was very loud.
Perhaps, because she had seen the aftermath of David, Molly was used to Brian's cruelty and
ruthlessness when he was handling things. As such, she didn't care how he would react to what Tony
was reporting.
In the same low voice, Tony continued, as if he were saying something unimportant. Unable to explain
the events of last night, Molly didn't say anything. It was still unclear whether she could get back her
freedom at the end of her one-month deadline. But she would try.
There were still several days left before the end of Molly's mother's treatment this course, and the
doctor also said that her mother would recover sooner or later as long as the condition was in control
and her mother took medicine on time. When the agreed one month was over, Molly would leave this
cold and bloodthirsty city with her whole family.
Molly was a nobody. Even if she really left, Brian wouldn't go to find her. He had that beautiful and
elegant girlfriend. And if she ever left, Brian could easily find a thousand mistresses to replace her.
There was simply no chance of love between her and Brian...
"This is a new phone for Miss Xia, and a renewal of her lost number!"
Tony took out the phone and handed it to Molly. Molly discovered that it was a limited edition of the third
generation Z4R made by Dragon Empire Group. Very expensive and only owned by very few people.
Launched only recently, it was making waves among high-end phones. The ads on TV and in
magazines had wowed her. But never in her wildest imagination had she thought she'd be among the
luck few to ever own it.
All the same, she was not lapped in luxury, and usually she didn't fantasize those luxury products.
Again, she was in no mood to think of it at the moment.
Brian's arrogant and conceited demeanor made her wonder what his ex-girlfriend looked like. However,
she had been wearing top brand clothes, using luxury products and eating sumptuous meals for most
of the past month.
Perhaps, Brian thought of only sought-after nobility for his girls, girls worthy of standing beside him.
But with his big ego, more precisely, he was into girls who could lick the ground on which he walked,
humble girls who could bow at his feet...
Compliantly, she took the phone and looked at the expensive streamline. It reminded her of the woman
standing beside Brian at the dessert shop last night.
The image of that woman made her heart ache. She bit her lips and drooped her face.
Watching her, Brian sensed her moods, even though she was trying hard to keep it all below.
Last night, Brian had gone to bed confused. In fact, when he asked Molly whether she was in love with
him, even though it was in anger, he had felt a strange tinge of affection.
How that had come about, he couldn't tell. As far as he knew, he only loved Becky, and he wouldn't fall
in love with any other girl, especially Molly!
After she had fallen when he had pushed her at the stairs, Brian had stood there and watched her.
When he thought she was unhurt, he had gone upstairs and closed the door behind. But then a strange
anxiety had seized him, and just then, he'd heard a thump outside. Usually, Brian was very allergic to
spooky surroundings, so he had hurriedly gone back to the living room to check, only to find Molly lying
motionless at the stairs.
Again at the sight of it, Brian's heart had felt a nudge, a certain mysterious feeling toward Molly.
Sensing the silence that had fallen, Tony looked at Brian and noticed he was lost in thought, perceptible
dejection written on his face. Tony grinned secretly and glanced at Molly, then he came up to Brian and
whispered to him.
