Chapter 413 Leaving Is Not An Option (Part Two)

All of a sudden, Justin collapsed to the ground and shut his eyes. He tried to remember Molly's face at that moment but drew a blank. The last time he saw her face was that morning, and it was only very brief. Even then he didn't look at her seriously because all he could think about was Rory.

Karma was indeed a bitch.

As Justin collapsed, the last thing on his mind was that death was his only way out of all this. He would not be accepted by any faction; not the conservatives, not the reformists. Where was he to go?

But through all these, who would care? Even if they wanted to get to the bottom of what happened, there was no way to do it. The fight sparked by a 21-year-old war would be buried deep under together with Justin's execution and Jenifer's exile. Throughout the ordeal, the conservative faction and reformist faction both remained intact, or so it seemed. They merely sacrificed two people. But the truth was the two factions had been deeply affected by everything that happened.

"All right, open your eyes slowly." Felix coached Becky with a gentl

“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”

Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.

“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"

These days, Molly often caressed her belly. It had become one of her habits. At first, Brian thought it was because her stomach was acting up. But when he asked Molly, she would look terrified, and he would be no closer to learning the truth. When he asked Dr. He about this, the physician assured him that Molly was fine.

"Can she… Can she see?" Molly finally spoke up. Hearing her voice, Brian was thrilled. It had been over a month since she last talked to him.

At the same time, he was annoyed that the first thing she asked about was Becky. "Yes, she can see," Brian replied.

"Really?" Molly asked feigning surprise. Deep inside, she felt bitter. But she managed to add, "Good."

In an attempt to hide her emotions, Molly lowered her head. Then it dawned on her that her feelings would not be exposed since her eyes were still bandaged.
