As Brian stared at the name flashing on the phone's screen, his eyes instantly grew darker. He pursed
his thin lips lightly, raised his eyebrows and then paused a moment of deliberation before he answered
the call. After exchanging a look with Tony, he turned and walked towards the terrace behind the
banquet hall for some privacy.
Even though Brian had accepted the call, he didn't utter a single word. Becky who was on the other
side of the line remained silent, as well. They could only hear each other's subtle sound of breathing
across the line.
Sitting on a chair on the farm, Becky could see nothing in front of her, except the daunting darkness.
However, she could clearly sense the warm rays of sunshine shining on her, which gave her a clear
indication of the time.
Becky held the cell phone tightly in her hand. She didn't know why she had pressed the first speed dial
shortcut, which would immediately dial Brian's number. In that moment, she had forgotten all about her
initial insistence, and all she wanted to do was to hear his comforting voice...
Both of them still shared the numbing silence. Soon Brian shifted his attention to what was happening
downstairs in the hotel. There was a lot of noise and commotion going on there. Journalists were
rushing all around to take photos of the guests, who were attending the Wing's concert from all across
the world. The incessantly flashing photo bulbs made the dark night seem as bright as the daytime.
Brian's dark eyes grew deeper and deeper, as the atmosphere around him got more intense by the
minute. He blended himself perfectly in the darkness in a bid to conceal himself.
Meanwhile, Becky was overwhelmed with emotions, she just felt like crying. Her clear bright eyes
shimmering with hopes and dreams were now stained with dulling fear. They were hazy, and no longer
shone brightly.
Being at the end of endless darkness, she was suddenly gripped by panic and anxiety. She even grew
afraid of all the things and people around her. However, the intensity of the gripping fear made her want
to seize everything around her. She feared losing everything.
Becky gently fanned her thick long eyelashes, licked her soft rosy lips and finally took the initiate to
break the ice. "Brian…" Becky gently called out to him, gulping down her fear.
Her soft voice came across the phone ever so lovingly. The moment Brian heard her call out, all the
anger and gloom in his heart faded away, and was replaced by love and care for her all over again. It
was almost like nothing ever happened.
"Finally you decided to call me!" Brian said in a cold and indifferent manner, but in contrast he was
wearing a doting expression on his chiseled face, and his deep sharp eyes were filled with optimism.
Becky bit her lip hard, trying to hold back her tears, but she could not hold it in, and she could hardly
control herself. She murmured,"You once told me that… You'll come and look for me, if I ever get lost!"
She complained as she broke down. Drawing his eyebrows together, Brian explained,"Becky, so you
still don't understand it at all even now? I can love you and spoil you for the rest of my life, but I can't
tolerate your capricious and impulsive behavior always! You may get lost, but that doesn't mean you
will leave me heartbroken again and again."
Finally, Becky, who was surrounded by darkness could not control her emotions any longer and burst
into tears with her lips trembling ever so lightly. In that moment, her heart grew more sensitive and
vulnerable as her hopes were thrashed by Brian's words.
"Brian…"
Becky had just whimpered out his name, when she heard the disconnected call tune from the other
side. She was scared and insecure all at once. Before she could think what went wrong, she hurriedly
fumbled for the screen of the phone and tried to dial him again. However after many such repeated
attempts she had failed to get through to him.
Sitting on the chair, Becky stared right in front with a blank expression, even though she could actually
see nothing. The longer she sat there, dwelling on her thoughts, she began to feel a tugging pain, and
she held the cell phone in her hand more and more tightly, as her tears gushed out like a steady
stream.
"Brian, if I don't come back and look for you, you will never look for me, will you?" Becky murmured to
herself, heartbroken and desolate. Tears were gushing down across her delicate porcelain face which
looked beautiful and delicate under the bright sunshine, but it could not hide the sad expression on her
face at all.
Right at that moment, some Dutchmen outside the farm grumbled,"How did the telecom tower get
affected all of a sudden? I should have been on a call with my daughter now…"
"God alone knows. We only just got the notice, and before we could inform our relatives about it, it
already broke down."
"How long will it take for it to be working again?"
"…"
Their complaining voice faded, as the farm workers went away. Brian, who was in A city, scowled. After
a few moments, he tried to call her back, but only heard automated disruption message over the
phone,"The number you dialed is switched off. Please try again later."
A sudden discomfort knotted his stomach. His thin lips were tightly pursed together, and his eyes
narrowed angrily. He appeared rather dangerous.
He then thought to himself, 'Becky, let's wait and watch how long you can carry on this time.'
Brian diverted his attention, turned around and entered the banquet hall back again. At this moment,
the banquet hall was filled with a boisterous crowd. Almost all the people invited to the party had
already arrived, and the donations amount was an unprecedentedly high figure all thanks to Spark's
dedicated participation.
Just then, Shirley left Richie alone and went to chat with Molly. She told Shirley about the things
happened after she returned from the casino, the things that down and also about the violinist named
Spark. Shirley was so curious about what had happened that she kept on asking her about all the
details.
While both of them were happily chatting there, Richie was busy talking to Weston, and Wing,
accompanied by Eric, was talking to several top musicians, with a warm smile on her face.
