Although she didn't hear what the person on the phone was talking about, according to her experience with Brian in the past few days and his noticeably hideous aura at that moment, Molly somehow understood what he wanted to do.
She slightly opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but eventually, she decided to keep her mouth shut. She was not even able to protect herself. Why was she worried about others? Why would she bring more trouble to herself for other people's sake?
She had never thought that she was someone very noble. She was no more than a common person. Within a month, she would definitely leave Brian and return to her normal life.
"Are you thinking about leaving me again? Right?" Brian asked angrily.
"No..." mortified, Molly answered in a weak voice as she lowered her eyes.
"Huh!" he snorted. With an evil smile, he cast a sharp glance at Molly and said in a detached, hollow voice, "Do you believe it? Without my permission for you to leave, you wouldn't have a chance."
Molly's facial expressions changed all of a sudden. Staring at Brian's arrogant face, she tried her best to control her anger, moved her eyes away and answered without emotion, "Yes, I'm aware of that!"
She didn't want to irritate him and endure his punishment again.
Exasperated at her obedience to him, Brian gave her one more cold glance and stood up to leave the bedroom without saying another word.
At the sound of the door closing behind him, Molly winced with bitterness. She wondered what kind of environment Brian had grown up in. How had he become such a strange person?
But the answer was of no importance to her. They would be irrelevant to each other after this month.

In the Netherlands, Wearing an anxious face, Cindy Han glanced at Becky Yan, who had bandages around her eyes. Heart racing with tension like a Hennessey Venom, Cindy was breathing hard.
A professional doctor reminded Becky not to open her eyes so soon while he slowly unwrapped the bandages from her eyes.
"Take it easy. Get used to the light first. Okay... Good, just like that... Open your eyes slowly, slowly... Don't rush..."
Under the doctor's peaceful guidance, Becky slowly opened her eyes and tried to take in her surroundings.
"Becky, can you see things clearly? Can you see me?" Cindy asked anxiously.
Widening her beautiful and pure eyes, Becky scanned the room. Her eyes, which used to be bright, were now dim, as she blinked, squeezed close, and then slowly opened them again.
"How is that? Can you see anything?" The anxiety increased in Cindy's voice.
