Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 240

The attack was so unexpected that Molly fell to the ground totally unprepared. Pain traveled quickly through her hips. It was so sharp that her face distorted in anguish. She tried to stand up, but she had no strength left.

A painful glint flashed in Brian's eyes. He felt sorry for pushing her down. But that sympathy only lasted as ephemerally as his heart of stone allowed. In a flash, Brian assumed a cold face while looking down at her, who sat up on the snowy ground pitifully. His voice was colder than the ice she was sitting on. "Since when have I given you permission to make decisions for me, Molly?"

Molly didn't catch half of what he was saying as her attention was mostly grabbed by the pain she was going through. She felt as though her hip bones were broken. The pain had spread to her spine and she was sweating profoundly.

Brian regretted his rude behavior, but he subdued and ignored the remorseful feeling. He looked at Molly and said,"It's too late. Let's go back."

He cast Molly a glance before turning towards the direction from where they had come and left without hesitation.

Molly tried again, in an attempt to stand up. But the pain stopped her from any further movement, as her hips ached whenever she moved. She clenched her teeth to rally some strength and placed both her hands on the snowy ground to support herself. With all the effort she could muster, she tried to stand up one more time. But she fell back down.

Molly closed her eyes and bit her lips so hard that they had turned pale. In the midst of her despair and helplessness, she felt as if she was being raised up in the air. Brian had come back for her, and was now carrying her in his arms. Molly smelled Brian's scent which was now very familiar to her. She involuntarily raised her eyes to glance at him. He still looked cold, without any expression on his face. His eyes looked straight ahead, unwilling to cast even a swift look at the woman in his arms. He stayed silent all the way, his lips tightly closed. 'What a cold man!' Molly thought to herself.
