Chapter 51 It Was A Trap


    No matter how long the night, how bad the dream, a new day is always sure toe!


    Molly slowly emerged from her sleep. She opened her eyes, looked around, and started toe fully


    awake.


    She swallowed hard and tried to get up from the floor. "Ahh," she shouted and fell to the floor again.


    She had been sitting on the floor for so long that her legs had be numb and weak.


    "Miss Xia, you''re awake!" Lisa told Molly in a soft voice while smiling.


    Molly looked at Lisa awkwardly with a light smile as shey on the floor while rubbing her legs to


    reduce the numbness. Her eyes were all puffed up from crying overnight.


    Lisa seemed to notice the sorrow and pain that Molly felt. She didn''t ask Molly the reason why she


    slept below the stairs nor the reason why her eyes were swollen. Instead, she said in a low voice," Your


    breakfast is ready. You can clean yourself up and have your breakfast."


    "Thank you!" answered Molly gratefully.


    Lisa smiled at Molly and turned around to leave. Before taking a step, she remembered Brian''s


    instruction. She turned back to Molly and saw her trying to get up from the floor, and said," Before Brian


    left, he asked me to tell you that you should not leave the house these days."


    "Does he want to imprison me here?" Molly said carelessly. Seeing the surprised look on Lisa''s face


    made her feel slightly embarrassed. The corner of her mouth twitched a little, then she said


    sheepishly," I mean… That''s not what I meant."


    Lisa was not the type of person who liked to meddle, so she just shook her head and said," That''s what


    Brian asked me to tell you and I merely delivered the message to you."


    After that, Lisa turned around and left without saying anything else. She knew her ce in the house


    and having worked for Brian in such a long time, she had learned what she should or shouldn''t do.


    Yesterday, she told Brian on the phone that Miss Xia was cooking in the kitchen. To her surprise, Brian


    hade back just in time for dinner. It was odd because he had been gone for a few days and it


    seemed that he wouldn''t being back that soon.

    From how she''d known him, Brian had barely shown his feelings to anyone. It might have been


    because he was raised by his family that way or he might have inherited his father''s characteristics. It


    was quite difficult to see through him and his feelings. But after Lisa had spent some time with Molly,


    she started to think that if Becky didn''t love Brian, then Molly could be a better choice for Brian.


    After having cleaned herself up and changed her clothes, Molly went downstairs. She did not eat


    anything for breakfast since she had no appetite at all. She said sorry to Lisa for the trouble earlier and


    walked out of the house to breathe some fresh air. She stood in the garden and stared at the front gate


    with a strong desire to walk beyond it shining in her eyes.


    Even if he would allow her to go, she wouldn''t dare to.


    She could still recall vividly what Brian had done to David and she knew that she could not take that


    risk.


    If all she cared about was only herself, she wouldn''t mind taking the risk, but she had to think about


    what could happen to her mother and Daniel. There was too much at stake. She would never even


    dare to do so.


    She raised her head and looked at the sky, and a flicker of amusement shone in her eyes. The sun was


    rising at that very moment; a bright glow was rising in the East, and the sun was shining from the


    horizon. But sadly, thick clouds were looming in the sky, which seemed to block part of the beautiful


    sunlight.


    Molly had stayed in the garden silently from morning until the afternoon. She even told Lisa not to


    prepare lunch for her. People usually felt that time passed quickly whenever they were happy, and they


    felt that it passed slowly whenever they were sad. But in fact, it has its own rhythm, independent of


    one''s feelings. Whether you are sad or happy, time passes by just the same and life goes on.


    Lisa went out of the house and saw Molly who was sitting on the bench in the garden. She let out a


    sigh, walked up to Molly, and said," Miss Xia, someone is calling you."


    "Umm," Molly said to Lisa in response. Then, all of a sudden, she ran back to the house with certain


    nervousness. Molly had lost all her clothes including her phone in the hotel that very night, and she


    didn''t have the chance to buy a new one. Now that she had gotten involved with Brian, subconsciously,


    she was afraid that she would get calls from someone she didn''t know. So, she decided not to buy a


    cell phone for the meantime. She didn''t tell anybody about Brian''s home phone number except Daniel.


    She was worried that something might happen to her family so she told Daniel not to call her unless


    there was an emergency.


    Molly picked up the phone and asked hastily," Hello, Daniel?"


    "Molly..." Daniel was crying at the other end of the line.


    "What''s wrong?" Molly grew even more nervous and worried when she heard Daniel''s crying voice.


    She felt her heart skipped a beat as she held her breath and continued," Tell me what happened. Is


    Mom okay?"


    "Dad got beaten up yesterday on his way home from work and Mom lost consciousness when she


    heard the news..." Daniel started crying before he finished the words.


    "Where are you?"


    "We... We are in The Second Hospital of A City," Daniel said in between sobs.


    "Okay! I''ll be right there!" Molly replied quickly and then took a deep breath. She tried to stay calm


    though she was worried about her mother''s condition. She couldn''t imagine losing her mother but she


    tried to be strong and pull herself together. She swallowed hard and continued," Daniel, don''t worry


    about it. Stop crying. Mom needs us. You are a man now, you have to be tough, okay?"


    "Umm!"


    Daniel tried to stop crying and answered. Before Molly could even think it further, she hung up the


    phone and rushed to the door.


    "Miss Xia..." Lisa cried hurriedly from behind.


    Molly stopped and turned around. She looked straight into Lisa''s eyes with tears rolling down her


    swollen eyes. "Lisa, My mother is in the hospital..."


    With a disapproving expression on her face, Lisa said to Molly," But how about Brian''s order? He told


    me not to let you out." The situation was quite awkward yet difficult since Lisa had been nothing but


    nice to Molly. As much as Molly wouldn''t want to put Lisa in such a situation, she couldn''t just stay here


    while her mother was in the hospital.


    "I''ll be back very soon. I just want to check whether my mother is okay," Molly begged and looked at


    Lisa with pitiful eyes. Sensing Lisa''s hesitation, she continued," Lisa, please let me out, please..."


    The situation was even more difficult for Lisa. She looked at Molly''s swollen eyes, and found that tears


    were already brimming in her eyes. In a moment of weakness, she told Molly," Okay, but please


    promise me that you''lle back as soon as possible!"


    "Umm!" Molly said and nodded her head. Then she looked at Lisa gratefully before rushing out of the


    house.


    Lisa gazed at Molly as she ran out of the front door, but unknown to her, Molly had fallen into


    someone''s trap right after she had gone out of the vi. A man had been sitting for quite some time at a


    corner of the road to downtown, observing the vi. As soon as he saw Molly get in the taxi sent by


    him, he took out his phone and dialed a number.


    "Tyler, she is in the taxi now!" The man said in satisfaction with an evil smile creeping up on his


    ferocious face.
