Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Despite feeling helpless and hopeless at the same time, Molly couldn't do anything. She walked the

streets of QY Island like a lost soul and hardly anyone paid her any attention.

At the same time, Brian just returned to the hotel. He had planned a business dinner with Aaron but

changed his mind as he thought about Molly. It was her first time here and she must be feeling lonely,

being so far away from her family. Knowing her introverted personality, he didn't think twice about

foregoing his dinner plan to spend some time with her.

But when he came to their hotel room, he found that Molly wasn't there. He didn't expect that she would

go out when she was unfamiliar with the place. Angry that she didn't inform him, he dialed her number

with a scowl.

The sound of her phone ringing brought his attention to the sofa where her handbag and phone lay

side by side. His scowl turned into a frown as he realized she went out without her phone and money.

Tony followed Brian's gaze and noticed Ms. Molly's personal things. "Since Ms. Xia's phone and

handbag are both here, I guess that she might have just taken a walk inside the hotel. I'll go and look

for her," he said in a deferential tone.

With Brian nodding his agreement, Tony withdrew hastily to search for Molly. He came back half an

hour later with negative results.

"Sir, Ms. Molly isn't in the hotel. I have checked the hotel footage and saw she leave around nine

o'clock this morning…"

Tony searched Brian's face and added after a short hesitation,"Mr. Eric was also here this morning

before she disappeared."

Brian's back tautened at his last information. He cast a glance at Tony. His sharp eyes focused as he

said coldly,"Search around! Especially pay attention to the gardens!"

"Yes, sir." Tony turned around and left hurriedly.

Glaring at the handbag and phone by the sofa, Brian's face turned red in anger and worry. 'How can I

not worry about you?' he felt his gut wrench at the thought of what might have happened to Molly.

The thought brought him to his feet. He had no idea what was happening but he knew he couldn't

waste a single minute.

He took his car out of the underground garage of Seaview Hotel. He drove slowly, skimming the road

left and right for Molly's figure. He started to grow anxious as he drove awhile without any glimpse of

her.

'How can you go out without taking your handbag and phone with you?' he muttered angrily to himself.

'Don't you know that I would worry about you?'

Thinking to himself made him realize that his anger was due to his concern for her. Her disappearance

infuriated him and worried him at the same time. But most of all, he was worried about her safety.

QY Island was a lot different than what she was used to. Although there were also some dark forces in

A City, they were more open and known.

The people there knew the dark forces and avoided them. They wouldn't bother people without reason

except for the illegal dealers.

QY Island might look peaceful and tranquil, but the dark forces here were more covert and organized.

Human trafficking was prolific due to the large returns. As long as you have money in QY Island, you

could do anything you like…

Brian's face tightened at the thought. His eyes grew cold and his lips compressed in a thin line as he

played the worst case scenario in his mind. It felt like a hand was squeezing his heart, the feeling

unfamiliar.

The car phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. Brian pressed a button to answer the call.

"Sir, there's still no sign of Ms. Xia," Tony reported.

"Should I inform Shawn to add more men to join the search?"

"Do it!" Brian replied tersely.

It wasn't the first time he used the power of XK Intelligence Agency for her. In fact, it was almost

becoming a regular occurrence.

As Brian drove carefully down the street of QY Island, he remembered that there used to be a beautiful

garden nearby. If Molly was only walking around, that might be her first choice. So he decided to pass

there.

When he reached the garden, he found that it was closed for renovation. His handsome face started to

show some stress, a white look seen at the corners of his mouth.

Racking his brains for any idea where Molly might have wandered to, he got back in his car and sat for

a while. He tried to put himself in Molly's place and think like her for a brief second…

He tried to focus and concentrate. It was a normally easy task for him but not for today.

He was so anxious just now that he couldn't think calmly. 'Though Molly is not a careful person, she

isn't so thoughtless to forget her handbag and phone. Something must have disturbed her greatly that

she went out so suddenly. If that were the case, she must have walked aimlessly without paying

attention to where she was going.' Brian thought to himself. He was almost positive that was the case.

The island was embraced on three sides by green hills. The urban road structure here was also quite

different than A City. For example, it would be easy for tourists to get lost here if they were not familiar

with the structure. Not to mention Molly who was such an absent-minded woman.

Finally, Brian felt that he made a breakthrough. He hurriedly drove back to the hotel and put his theory

to practice. Starting from the hotel, he turned right as soon as he saw the intersection. He was thinking

like Molly. He knew that she was a one-track minded person.

If she was disturbed when she went out, her mind would be blank and she would turn right instinctively

when she met diversions. Searching for Molly's familiar figure, Brian combed the street at every right

turn he took.

After having passed several crossroads, he met another one and turned right immediately. He hit

paydirt on his last right turn. He heaved a sigh of relief as his eyes saw Molly's figure ahead.

Thank God! He felt his tension leave his taut muscles as he regarded Molly's hunched figure sitting on

the steps of a small fountain in the middle of the road.

Then the car screeched to a halt.

Brian almost jumped out of the car as he strode purposefully to where Molly was sitting. But he saw a

man appear before he could reach her. Unable to recognize the man from the distance, he stopped in

his tracks and frowned. As he started to move towards her again, he saw the man pull Molly up and

take her in his arms in a tight embrace.
