Chapter 414 Leaving Is Not An Option (Part Three)


    When Brian heard Molly say this, his brows raised. He sat down beside her and ced one dainty


    hand on his big palm as he asked, "What do you mean by that, Molly?" Sounding a bit annoyed, he


    quipped, "You can''t just start the game, then end it. You don''t call the shots."


    It was Molly''s turn to be shocked by his response. She tried to withdraw her hand, but he held on to it.


    Molly moved to put some distance between them. She was afraid that Brian would see her intention to


    leave. Molly was two months pregnant now, and in another month, her baby bump would be showing.


    There was no way she could hide the pregnancy from him by then.


    Unable to hold back his fury, Brian fixed his eyes on Molly. "Listen, Molly. Don''t ever think about leaving


    me. Not on your life. Do you understand?" he ground the words out.

    His threatening words prevented Molly from giving a response. Instead, she bit her lips and sneered.


    Miserably, she thought, ''Why do you have to be so cruel to me, Brian?''


    Molly was grateful that her bandaged eyes hid her turmoil. ''You used me so Becky''s eyes would


    recover. Now, you want me to stay and watch as you two live happily ever after?


    You took advantage of me this whole time. And you forced my family to leave me. Whatever you did for


    me was just an act. When you''re gentle with me? When you tried to protect me? All of that was not


    true. You did all that for Becky, not me.''


    Her heart was overwhelmed by sorrow and desperation. Molly further sank into silence. With no one to


    miss, she would now leave this ce forever, taking only one thing that belonged to her - the baby


    inside of her.


    It must have been her continued silence that made Brian sense Molly''s resolution to leave him. As the


    thought gripped him in fear, all the anger he was keeping inside his heart bloomed and pushed itself


    out. Brian nearly went crazy trying to find matching eyes for Molly. For the first time, he even


    compromised himself just for her. Challenges usually angered Brian, but this time it filled his heart with


    gratitude. And he was more than thankful when the donor finally agreed.


    For the past several weeks, Brian spent all his time with Molly. There was a restlessness about him that


    he couldn''t control. Only when the medical team assured him that Molly had gotten past the critical


    phase did he finally calm down. It must have been the days of constant stress and strain that led him to


    ck out. Although he slept long, the slumber was neither sound nor sweet because of a recurring


    nightmare. In this particr dream, Molly was leaving him.


    When he woke up in panic, it was already the second day after the procedure, so he hurried to Molly''s


    room. The moment he saw her awake, Brian was thrilled. As he listened to Dr. He''s report that she was


    out of danger, he stared at Molly, while hoping deep down inside that she would call him "Bri" again.


    But he heard nothing. She never said a single word to him.


    All that time, no matter what he said, Molly only sat as a quiet listener, never saying anything. It drove


    Brian crazy that she didn''t speak. Good thing Dr. He confirmed that Molly''s vocal cords were fine. And


    he was able to eavesdrop as she gently asked Felix about her eyes. Otherwise, Brian would have


    considered abducting Elias to ask about the sess of his treatment of Molly''s throat.


    Then after a month and she finally decided to talk, the first thing she asked was about Becky. And the


    only other thing she expressed was her resolution to leave. ''Molly, do I have a ce in your heart? You


    drag me into this game of love, but now you want to pull yourself out of it?'' he thought exasperatedly.


    No, I won''t let this happen.''


    If there was one thing Brian was very sure of, it was Molly being Miss Right for him, the only one he


    would have and hold in his lifetime. The man had already made up his mind that he would treat her with


    love and respect, and protect her whatever happens. It broke his heart that she wasn''t even willing to


    stay with him in spite of his devotion.


    And the more Brian thought about it, the angrier he became. He was now behaving like a child who


    couldn''t have the toy he wanted. Sourly, he shook off Molly''s hand and sprang to his feet. Then with an


    icy tone he said, "Molly, I will never let you go. So you can forget about your thoughts of leaving me."


    After saying these words, Brian looked closely at Molly but got no reaction from her. Spitefully, he


    stormed out of the ward. He didn''t know whether he was mad at himself or Molly. Although truthfully, he


    was distressed by them both.


    Brian regretted the moment he turned back to look at the door he had just closed. After suppressing his


    anger for a month, he learned through experience the value of humility. His brows knitted even tighter


    as his eyes settled on Molly, whom he saw through the window, was sitting on the bedside. He wanted


    to squeeze her in his arms.


    He jolted as Tony walked toward him hastily. "Mr. Brian Long, I just received information from Vincent."


    He turned to look at his driver with sharp and keen eyes. Coldly, he said, "Now what? He no longer


    wants to work for the XK Intelligence Agency?"


    Tony stood without speaking as he pondered, ''The elder Mr. Long has taken back all the privileges Mr.


    Brian Long enjoyed for five years. As a member of the elite among the young generation of the XK


    Intelligence Agency, Vincent will make people think he will be disrespecting the older Mr. Long if he


    sends messages to Mr. Brian Long secretly. And should his activities be exposed, the consequences


    he will face will be more severe than the usual punishment."


    Again, Brian cast a nce at the figure in the ward. Eventually, he chose not to go back in and instead


    left the hospital. To Tony, he ordered, "Check out what the State Parliament has been doing."


    The order stupefied the driver. Brian didn''t ask about Vincent''s messages but wanted a probe of the


    State Parliament.


    All of a sudden, Brian stopped walking and said indifferently, "Get rid of all of Edgar''s spies. They''re too


    annoying."


    "Yes, Sir." The reason for his boss''s anger confused Tony. Without thinking, he turned around and


    looked at Molly''s ward.
