Chapter 113 A Warm Embrace (Part One)
"Brian, don''t leave me.... Don''t.... Mom.... Don''t..... Don''t lock me in.... I know it''s my fault.... Oh....
Brian...."
Molly kept crying and mumbling in the dark, small room, extremely frightened and desperate.
"Please don''t leave me.... Oh...." With her eyes closed tightly, Molly cried and cried. The fear that the
darkness had instilled in her just now had tensed her nerves to the maximum, which was about to
result in a very serious nervous breakdown at any time.
"Molly Xia? Molly...."
a heavy and anxious voice came out from outside. But Molly didn''t hear it. Mentally and emotionally,
she was trapped in a giant abyss of despair and she couldn''t climb out of it no matter how much she
tried. She simply couldn''t think straight!
ng! The gate was suddenly opened from the outside and a beam of light shone into the dark room.
At the same time, a low but worried voice came,"Molly Xia!"
"Please don''t leave me.... I''m really scared.... Brian, help! Please...." Please don''t leave me...."
Molly was choked up but still kept mumbling. All of a sudden, her arms were pulled by someone and
the next minute, she was dragged into a very strong embrace, which was familiar,fortable and
warm so that she firmly grasped the person''s clothes.
Molly closed her eyes with tears on her face. She wept in the familiar embrace and then mumbled,
choking with sobs,"Edgar, oh, Edgar.... Edgar...."
Brian had an intention to hug her tight, but he stopped himself after he heard what she had said. His
eyes delved deeper and darker when he stared at her coldly. At that moment, both of his eyes were full
of rage and danger.
"Brian, don''t leave me...."
All of a sudden, a low but clear voice came into his ears. Molly grasped his clothes tighter and put her
face against his chest. Shivering with fear, she repeated his name over and over again.
Brian didn''t move. He just pressed his lips in aplicated mood, staring at the pretty girl in his arms.
The makeup on her face had been messed up and the light yellow evening dress was almost beyond
recognition. The elegant updo had be dishevelled and one butterfly earring had been lost.... Molly
looked terrible, to say the least.
"Mr. Long!" a voice suddenly came out from the outside. Tony staying outside called Eric in a respectful
voice.
After taking a quick nce at the abandoned small house, Eric asked,"Is Molly in there?" Tony was
guarding outside. Apparently, Brian had found Molly in this small house.
Tony didn''t expect Eric to figure out the whole thing so he looked at him in confusion. After a while, he
replied respectfully,"Yes, sir!"
"Well, since Brian is here, there is nothing I can do. So I''m leaving now." Eric shook his shoulders and
left as fast as he had arrived.
Sitting in the car, he turned around and looked at the small house, totally lost in thought. After a while,
he frowned, started the car and left quickly.
Brian holding Molly in his arms walked out of the small house just after Eric left. Tony ran to the car and
opened the door right away. After Brian put Molly in the car and sat down on the seat, Tony asked
politely,"Mr. Long, where should we go? To the vi or the hospital?"
"To the vi!" Brian ordered shortly in a cold voice and with a poker face.
Tony stole a nce at Brian through the rear view mirror and then started the car, driving to the vi.
Molly fell into aa, but there was no sign that she would loosen her grip on his clothes. Her
shivering body was as cold as ice.
Brian angrily stared at her, feeling like killing her. He was furious at her.
A tension developed in the air of the narrow space right away and Tony felt it, which made him short of
breath. He couldn''t help peeping at Brian again through the rear view mirror and was stunned by his
temperamental face. He frowned, pondering whether Brian was in a good mood or in a bad mood.
He failed to see through Brian''s feelings even though he had been working for him for several years. In
his mind, Brian only loved Miss Yan even though he had had sex with several women. Tony understood
the fact that it was simple biology. However, there was no woman good enough to make Brian care for
her the way he cared for Miss Xia today. To his surprise, Brian even did something that he would never
do before.
Suddenly Brian''s phone rang. Still holding Molly in his arms, he checked the caller ID and then picked
up the call.
"Mr. Long," a cold and dead voice came out of the phone,"they did it cleanly and it seems that they
didn''t mean to hurt Miss Xia physically. They just locked her in the house."
"Who did it?" Brian said in an icy-cold voice.
After a brief silence, the voice replied,"Time was too tight. We couldn''t figure it out. But their methods
were not ordinary at all, kind of army style."
"Army?" Brian asked, confused. A trace of malevolence shed in his eyes.
"Well, we can figure it out if we keep tracing. Mr. Long, should we keep tracing?" he asked for
instructions.
"No," Brian replied shortly. He hung up the phone and then looked down at Molly who kept gripping his
clothes tightly as if he was the only log that she found and could help her out of the deep sea of
sadness and despair.
Apparently, the people who had taken Molly were familiar to Molly so they didn''t really hurt her. But why
had they locked her in a confined house without any light?

If Brian was right, Molly might be suffering from ustrophobia and they knew it so they took
advantage of her sickness.
With piercing eyes which sharply squinted on the livid face, Brian pressed his lips and then asked,"Was
Eric talking with you just now?"
"Yes!" Tony replied respectfully. "It looked like he was there for Miss Xia."
Tony didn''t tell Brian that Eric had called him before Eric was there.
"Eric has spent too much time on Molly. He does care about Molly!" Brian said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, Tony didn''t say a word.
A dead silence enveloped the car. Nobody talked again. They didn''t arrive at the vi until it was three
o''clock in the morning. John frowned slightly when he opened the door and saw Brian holding Molly in
his arms.
