Lisa and Molly had been living together for almost a month. It was true that Lisa felt pity for Molly, but she liked her very much and was truly delighted to stay with her.
Molly furrowed her eyebrows slightly and her gaze involuntarily returned to the TV. Park Shin Chun was telling the reporter about matters related to his concert tour. The reporter went on to ask him whether he thought that Wing, who was going to hold her charity concert next week, would attract more attention from people than he did.
He looked straight at the camera and said," I don't think so. We work in different fields." He paused for a second and continued with a smile," I heard that Wing has already landed in A City. In fact, I would very much like to get in touch with her. Although we are immersed in different musical realms, our careers are still related to music."
The interviewer continued asking some other questions and Molly eventually looked away from Park Shin Chun's handsome face. Even though her eyes didn't leave the screen, she wasn't really looking at anything in particular. Her mind was filled with thoughts about Brian and Wing.
She had no idea what kind of affection Brian would show towards a woman he cared about. She wondered whether he was capable of loving a woman while being with another.
Having a pensive expression in her eyes, Molly was peeved at the thoughts she was having. She had been going through such emotions time and again for the past few days.
She remembered faintly hearing Brian call out her name before she had passed out yesterday. At that moment, he had sounded as worried as he had been in that dark room. She fainted soon after that and when she woke up the next morning, she immediately realized that Brian had left already. Disappointment struck Molly very hard when she felt his absence.
She lowered her head to the cup of milk in her hand and silently sipped from it.
She was exasperated with herself for being so silly. 'Brian just happened to appear when you needed his help. Why would you start falling in love with a man who treats you like a plaything?
Molly Xia, your love is worthless!' she told herself.
Molly blinked slowly, with a touch of self-mockery flashing in her eyes.
She hadn't been caged by this kind of darkness in many years.
She had been locked up and pulled in by this depression many times in the past. She was in despair and no one had come to rescue her. First, she called her mother out loud, and then she screamed out the name of the person who once cared about her. After that, she screamed out to her father and Edgar. But no one appeared to rescue her when she felt helpless and alone.
And when she was locked up in that dark room and thought everything was lost, Brian extended his helping hand out to her and pulled her out of the horror and despair once again. Even though she couldn't remember clearly what had happened at the time, she was grateful to him and had begun to fall in love with him.
Molly sighed and put down the cup. She heard Park Shin Chun still talking to the reporter. She tried to push back the sorrow that was haunting her.
Molly believed that after Wing's concert, her relationship with Brian would be over. After her concert, they might never see each other again.
Since that thought shrouded her mind, Molly smiled and a sudden gleam appeared in her eyes. Her lips curved into a beaming smile.
Life was unfair and she might have to live miserably, but she still wanted to try her best to strive for a better life.
Molly was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she did not notice the two men who were standing at the door and staring at her smiling face. One of them gazed at her with a deep look in his eyes, while the other looked at her passionately.
