Chapter 392 Doomed As Suitor; Destined As Beloved (Part Five)

As they rolled down, Brian tried to find a way to free Molly so she would not be hurt further. It was
difficult to look around with his eyes red and swollen. But if Brian didn't do anything, they would end up
in the bottom and perish.

As a final attempt, Brian stuck out his free arm to grab a trunk and managed to break their fall. Now the
two of them were swinging back and forth, but a dead trunk could only hold them so long. The brittle
lifesaver broke before Brian could reinforce himself and the two rolled down again.

They were now rolling at hair-raising speed. Brian didn't give up clawing around to save them both.
Suddenly, he spotted a huge rock down below.

His face hardened because they were about to slam into the rock in seconds. Brian held Molly closely
and shifted so it was his back that would hit the rock. A heavy thud signaled the end of their fall. The
tremendous impact sent a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his mouth tasted of blood.

He spat out blood, then quickly checked Molly to make sure she didn't suffer serious injuries. He smiled
as he stared at Molly lying in his arms. "I told myself before I came that I had to kill you if you didn't
confess everything to me. It was the only way I knew to wipe you out of my mind. Otherwise, you would
be the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with," he said with a groan.

Blood was gushing from his abdomen and spattered on his lips. Everything that happened was weirdly
beautiful and dangerous.

Ignoring the pain, Brian held Molly more closely. For so long, he had been expecting romantic love
similar to what Richie and Shirley shared. He initially thought he would find that with Becky. But then
Molly came into the picture. Reality proved him wrong. It's only been two months since he met Molly,
but he couldn't stop thinking about her, and he had broken his rules because of her. He was like a kite
with Molly controlling the string.



"Mol, please don't leave me… Otherwise, I'm afraid I will have to kill you!" he said in a raspy tone. He
closed his eyes, and the sickening fear of losing his beloved enveloped him. His declaration of love for
Molly was not enough because she still wanted to leave him. The only thing she wanted to do was run
away after Wing told her how Brian felt about her.

Everywhere he touched Molly felt cold, so he held her even tighter so she could absorb his body heat.

"Mr. Brian Long!"

Never was he more grateful to hear Tony's voice than now. He shouted from above. Brian's face melted
as his men came along to rescue them. He blacked out, as Tony and the people from the XK
Intelligence Agency reached them. Brian had fallen into a coma, but he still clung to Molly, while his
right hand still clutched his weapon.

A helicopter circled in mid-air then Molly and Brian were airlifted. Their rescue signaled the failure of
the plot to kill them. It also meant the fight between the conservative and reformist factions was no
longer a secret.

What happened that night leaked out. Politics was said to be the reason behind the fighting, and it
involved two countries. With the revelation, old secrets were likewise exposed following the submission
of anonymous letters to the military court. Since his plan failed, Justin had become worthless in the
reformist faction.

He was so sure his plan would succeed. And it would have, if not for Mr. Shen. Justin learned a big
lesson that night: never ignore a tiny screw because it could sink a huge ship. After that fight, Sacred
Domain was destroyed and most of the people behind it were arrested. Even Mr. Shen was
apprehended.

But all that didn't matter right now.



Three days later…

From the ICU, Brian transferred to a VIP ward. He sustained cuts and scratches all over his body as he
brushed against brambles while holding on to Molly as they were rolling down. What almost killed him
though was a gunshot wound in his left shoulder and the contusions in his back which injured internal
organs.

He still looked pale because of his wounds, but Brian glanced at the people standing by his bedside.

Among them was Wing, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying. But she looked at Brian coldly,
not knowing whether to curse him for risking his life or comforting him after what he went through. It
was the first time he sustained serious injuries in years.

They literally kept Becky in the dark about Brian's condition. She was not informed about Brian being
taken to the hospital the other night. Becky wanted to discuss something about her retina with Rory, but
her father couldn't come due to an emergency in M Country. That was how she accidentally learned
about Brian getting shot.

"Brian!" Becky cried out as her nose twitched. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She started to panic,
because being blind, she didn't know the extent of Brian's injuries.

He whispered something to Becky to assure the woman he would be fine, then looked at Molly who sat
in a corner. She looked pale as if she had been beaten up. Brian stopped stroking Becky's head when
he noticed Molly's dreadful appearance.

People in the ward exchanged fearful looks as they noted how Brian's face suddenly tightened.

Sitting on his wheelchair, Eric looked at Molly then his brother. He had a strong feeling that something
changed between them after their experience that night. Eric conceded that Brian left him behind in



their chase for Molly.

Wing came up to Becky and touched her arm. "Becky, Brian needs a lot of rest."

With these words, one by one, visitors stepped out of the room. After giving Brian a concerned look,
Molly turned around to follow the rest.

"Molly, stay here!" Brian commanded with a cold voice.
