"You've always liked my eyes. But now, they are not as beautiful as they were. And I would completely
lose my sight eventually." Becky broke down. She grabbed the hem of his shirt tightly and cried out
loud,"I was afraid that you would no longer love me. I thought that my eyes could be cured in some
foreign country with better medical technology. So I left you to go abroad. But my illness is hard to cure.
And even Felix couldn't do anything. There is no suitable retina for me. I am going to be blind. I will
never be able to see you anymore. I will never be able to clearly see your face anymore. I am scared
that you will abandon me if I don't have those eyes that you love."
Becky was buried in deep grief and she talked incoherently. Her words wrung his heart. Brian groaned.
Holding Becky tightly, he said in a grave voice,"Silly Becky, how can I abandon you even if you were
blind? I didn't fall in love with just your appearance. I accept everything about you, your strength and
your weaknesses. I accept all of it gladly. Do you understand?"
Becky sobbed with her hands grasping Brian's clothes more tightly,"But you just said that you were
going to leave me. You said that you were going to leave me alone."
"No, I won't leave. I will never leave you," Brian said with his eyes gently closed. His cheek slightly
touched Becky's smooth hair and he said softly,"How could I ever leave you alone? I was just annoyed
about you leaving and irritated by your stubbornness, you know."
Becky didn't reply. She just sobbed. Brian put everything else behind him and hugged her close, only
feeling deeply sorry for her.
After a long time, Becky gradually calmed down and stopped crying. She had already fallen asleep with
a tear-streaked face. And her body was still trembling slightly.
Watching her aggrieved and sorrowful face, he felt very guilty. He blamed himself for misunderstanding
that she had left because of her stubbornness. But in fact, she was in so much suffering. He had
reproved her without knowing the truth and he hadn't even gone to look for her. He couldn't imagine
how she had spent a whole month without him.
Thinking about how afraid and lonely she might have been made Brian feel more guilty. He leaned
down to touch his lips to Becky's forehead and said slowly,"If you really can't see anymore, then let me
be your eyes, Becky. Becky…"
Even though she was deep in sleep, Becky threw herself into Brian's arms and murmured,"Brian...
Don't leave me alone."
"I am not going anywhere. I will always be by your side," Brian whispered into her ears. His palm
caressed her tear-streaked face gently as he held an apologetic look on his face.

In the Grand Night Casino.
Molly steadied the tray in her hands and went around serving at the gambling tables. Her experience
so far had taught her that smiling was the most important thing to do in such places. Even if the
gamblers were in a bad mood, as long as you put on a courteous smile, they might not place you in a
difficult position.
Jason was inspecting all the tables. When he reached the main hall, he caught a glimpse of Molly. She
was serving champagne to a guest who had just won. The gambler was in a good mood and Molly
received a blue chip as a tip.
Molly made a slight bow at the guest and received it with gratitude. Apart from the high pay, servers
also received considerable tips in the hall. This was the reason why people were eager for that
position.
Jason's eyes followed Molly around. She was going from one table to another with an artificial smile on
her pretty face. Sometimes, when gamblers lost money at the table, they would take their anger out on
her. On such occasions, she could only keep her silence and endure. Of course, there were some who
would deliberately spite her for not opening her mouth and apologizing. But even so, all she could do
was salute with a smile.
Life was so unpredictable and inconsistent. Only a few days ago, under Mr. Brian Long's orders, she
was able to serve the VIPs. And after a trip to QY Island with Mr. Brian Long, she was unable to ever
speak again. And because of Miss Yan's return, she was dropped to her original position. She didn't
know whether she should be feeling glad or sorry for all this.
Molly carried the tray with the empty glasses back to the front desk. When she saw Jason, she was
slightly stunned at first. Then she pursed her lips and nodded towards him in greeting, trying to control
the inferiority feeling in her heart. She left in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Manager?" Jason's assistant, KK, nudged him when he saw that Jason was in a daze.
Jason withdrew his gaze from Molly. Then he said without much emotion,"Tell the foreman in the main
hall to take care of Molly and try to protect her from being bullied."
KK turned around to cast a glance at Molly who was taking more wine for the guests. Then he turned
back and answered with a nod,"Understood, sir."
Jason nodded his head in reply. He continued to inspect the main hall. Though he didn't know what
was the intention Mr. Brian Long had harbored for Molly, he had never seen Mr. Brian Long do so much
for a woman. And he was afraid that Mr. Brian Long would be mad if Molly got hurt. Giving her some
special treatment to ease her job was just like giving candy to a baby. As Mr. Brian Long's henchman,
he ought to be foresighted and do what he was supposed to do.
Molly was still serving around the gambling tables with the tray in her hand. As time went on, gamblers
were getting more and more excited. Consequently, more and more people lost money.
"Damn it! I lost again!"
Just as Molly was refilling an empty glass with wine for a guest, a bulky man beside her who had just
lost a bet, threw the cards right at the glass in Molly's hand. The wine spilled out and landed on the
bulky man.
