Chapter 398 A Sorrowful Time (Part One)

A terrible thought crossed Molly's mind.

She stared at Becky with her fatigued eyes dulled to a red color.

"What are you trying to say?" Molly questioned Becky, her voice shaking.

"What am I trying to say?" Becky snorted and stepped forward aggressively. Molly backed up a few steps in a futile attempt to avoid her, and reached out a hand to steady herself against the wall. "You still don't know what I'm trying to say?" She curled her lips and looked down at Molly as if she were better than her, above her, superior to her.

"No!" Molly shook her head in disbelief. 'She's lying! Don't believe her and just trust Brian. He wouldn't do that to me.' Molly talked herself into believing that Brian wouldn't hurt her, but she had a hard time believing herself. Why did Brian take her to the hospital to have her eyes checked?

A myriad of thoughts flooded her mind. She shook them off and said through gritted teeth, "Becky, I don't believe a word you've said."

After Molly said her piece, she turned around and made her way to the stairs. She was in such a rush that she hit Yoyo so hard she almost fell to the ground. Yoyo grabbed her by the arm to steady her.

"Miss Xia, are you all right?" Yoyo asked worriedly. Yoyo didn't know what Becky had said to Molly, but based on Molly's face, Becky must have said something really harsh and mean.

"I-I'm all right!" Molly stuttered back. She pulled her arm free and hurried downstairs. She was going to confront Brian about what Becky had just said. 'Brian wouldn't do this to me! Becky's just lying because she's jealous of me and Brain, ' Molly told herself.

Molly was frantically running around trying to look for Brian, but to no avail. She felt dejected because Brian had said he would wait for her outside the examination room and take her to Daniel, but now he was nowhe

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

"As long as you're with me, I don't care about my eyes." Becky turned and reached out to touch Brian. Then, she put her arms around his waist and rested her face against his chest to listen to his heart pounding. She didn't lean against his chest any harder knowing his injuries. "Brian, I won't be able to see, anymore. Right?"

Brian kept quiet, just letting Becky hold him and refusing to answer her question. He felt bad that he didn't reciprocate her love but that was it. His feelings for her were long gone.

"You said you would be with me forever. You're going to keep your promise, aren't you?" Becky caressed his chest with her cheeks gently.

Brian still didn't know how to respond. He knew Becky was luring him into giving an answer, but he just couldn't. He could also tell that Becky had already realized that he had feelings for Molly, but of course, Becky refused to acknowledge that.

"You're going to see again, I promise," Brian said in a definitive tone. 'I'm sorry, but that's all I can do, ' he thought to himself.

Biting her lower lip, Becky loosened her grip on him and said sadly, "Elias said if my corneas aren't replaced in a month, I won't be able to see again. You know that, right?"
