Molly nestled into Brian's arms, and she was overwhelmed by the smell of blood and Brian. It was unpleasant because it reminded her of what had happened that night. The bloody scene unfolded before her.
...
That fateful night, they were in the helicopter and Tony frowned. He looked at Brian and then told Molly that Brian had taken the impact of the crash to protect her, especially when he hit against the giant rock. He had tried his best to avoid getting hit in his vital parts, but still his internal organs were wounded.
Even though he was in tremendous pain, he still managed to remain awake, his gun gripped tightly in his hand. It was not until he heard Tony's voice and saw his figure approaching that he finally let his guard down and passed out.
Back then, Molly just took shelter inside Brian's arms, her eyelashes shivering in fear. She remembered Tony telling her, "You are indeed like what Mr. Brian Long had said, a nuisance.
If it wasn't for you, Mr. Brian Long wouldn't have been so seriously injured. Even when Mr. Brian Long was unable to hold on any longer, he managed to stay conscious. Miss Molly Xia, if I had known that your presence would end up bringing Mr. Brian Long into such a dire situation, I would have killed you in secret a long time back.
"
Tony's words still rang fresh in her ear. Molly crouched into Brian's arms, on the brink of tears once again. Yes, if it wasn't for her, Bri wouldn't have got wounded, and all these things wouldn't have happened.
"What are you thinking?" Brian asked, sensing Molly's sadness.
"Brian," Molly sobbed, "Haven't you made promises to everyone? Will you live up to your promises no matter how much you have to pay for it?"
Brian raised his brows and answered coldly, "Everyone? Huh... Molly, you think I make promises to every Tom, Jack and Harry?"
Molly looked up at Brian, perplexed.
Brian sneered at her, then added, "You're not only troublesome, but also silly."
Without giving a chance for Molly to resist, Brian leaned his body in and kissed her slightly on her open lips.
Her cold lips had gotten him so addicted to them that every night since then, he always thought about her aroma and sweetness.
Molly tried to reject the kiss, yet his injuries prevented her from struggling too fiercely. She could only beg Brian silently with her big, innocent eyes.
Brian released Molly, stared at her, and said slowly, "Molly, remember this. If I ask you not to leave, you must stay."
Molly gaped at Brian, whose eyes were still so domineering. But they were less icy, and more unsettling now. The eyes touched her and erased her original intention of pushing him away. Instead, she was immersed in his affectionate look.
'I must stay? But Bri, we don't even belong to the same world, do we?' Molly thought.
Brian looked at Molly's eyes which were first confused, then cold. And then, they were just filled with rejection. His heart instantly filled with anger. Brutally he warned, "If you dare leave me, I will break your leg!"
"Bri, are you in love with me?" Molly asked. There was a bittersweet smile on her lips at the sight of Brian's cruel look. Her smile was rather ridiculous after she dared to ask such a question.
