Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 126 I Miss You And I Will Always Keep An Eye On You (Part Two)

"Do not be scared, Molly!" Shirley said in an urgent, but soothing voice. She reached out and embraced Molly. As she held Molly in her arms, she looked around at the people in the room, wondering what would happen next.

Smith's expression changed rapidly as he took into account what was happening. His guard lay motionless on the floor. His plans were initially flawless and detailed and he carried through with his mission in strict accordance with his plan after he had come to A city. But everything had fallen apart. Nothing was going as desired. He did not have his target in sight. He didn't even have the chance to contact his target yet. And here he was, already in trouble.

Mr. Shen shot a cold look at Smith, then walked in a calm pace towards Shirley. He was completely unaffected by the plethora of guns pointed at him.

He might have seemed indifferent and cold in others' eyes, but only he could hear his heart pounding harder with each step he took towards his beloved woman. His chest felt like it was being grabbed by someone mercilessly. His breathing became shallow because of the poignant sadness for the love he had lost. He wanted to escape from there, to evade Shirley, to leave and to forget the fact that he could never have her again.

Shirley looked at the approaching man, her savior. As Mr. Shen drew near, Shirley felt her heart jump up to her throat. When he came to a halt in front of her, she looked into his eyes which were filled with sorrow and regret. The deep anguish endowed in his eyes made her hands shiver. The coldness crept through her entire being and her voice shook when she asked him," Are...are you...Sh...Sheridan?"

Just like a breeze, the memories of the time they had had stirred up their hearts. The soft call reminded them of the lost passion and the love that they had missed in the past years. The laughs, the craziness and the hurt of the past sprung out from the depth of their memories, surging and roaring,

overwhelming them. Sheridan's nose twitched and he felt a lump in his throat. Under the silver mask, his face crumpled from the pain of hearing her voice.

"I am so sorry, Shirley. I let you fall into this dangerous situation on my turf." Sheridan shivered as he said those words.

Tears threatened to leave Shirley's bright eyes as he came closer. Then she smiled with a touch of bitterness and sorrow. But she couldn't maintain that smile for long as her eyes turned red and were blurred with tears.

At the villa on top of the mountain, Brian was taking his time with his glass of wine. However, an inexplicable worry overwhelmed him. The feeling was so annoying that he clutched the wine glass even tighter. He couldn't get rid of the feeling that something bad was happening. He had no idea what it was, but he could still sense the danger looming.

He took out his phone and called Molly. As he thought, no one picked up the phone. The unanswered phone call made him more anxious. He should have been outraged at Molly for not answering the phone. But given the possibility that something bad may have happened to her, her safety was predominant in his mind. So he controlled his temper and started to think of possible reasons for her silence.

After a quick minute, he unwillingly placed a call to Antonio. It was not long till Antonio answered.

"Mr. Brian Long!" Antonio's calm voice did nothing to ease Brian's worries. He knew that Antonio always kept his composure, no matter how dire the situation was. He made it seem like nothing would faze him.

"Are Shirley and Molly in trouble?" Brian jumped straight to the point. His usual calm and handsome face was overridden by anger and indignation. It was as if he already knew what Antonio was going to say. He was ready to kill anyone who would dare to hurt Shirley or Molly.

Antonio remained silent for a few seconds, trying to figure out the best way to break the news to him, without setting him off. Then he replied," After the concert, Mrs. Long and Miss Molly were kidnapped. Based on the pattern of the crime, it must be Philip's men. We have locked the target and are approaching the location where Mrs. Long and Miss Molly are being kept."

"What's the location?" Brian's face turned deathly pale. Shirley and Molly were in danger, exactly as he had feared. He was outraged. Hurting his family was a taboo for him. Anyone who dared to go against that deserved an end. And that end was death! He would bring an end to anyone who were bold enough to hurt the people he cared about.

He rushed out of the villa and got into his car, driving frantically in a bid to arrive at the location where Shirley and Molly were identified to be at. He was in such a frenzy that he did not have the time to ask Tony to accompany him. He was consumed by anger and all he wanted to do at that moment was smash someone's head in and kill everyone involved in the kidnapping. He gave out the aura of Death in its full glory, like the demon from hell with his Scythe in hand who, just by his presence, turned everything around him cold and put everyone around him in despair.

He couldn't get rid of the picture in his head where Shirley and Molly were hurt. He furrowed his brows. It was not only that he was afraid of them being hurt, but also that he did not ever want to see fear in Molly's face. Yes, he was very worried about her.

With all these mixed feelings in his mind, Brian stepped on the gas, increasing the speed to over 300 kilometers per hour. Even as he crossed that speed, it still failed to soothe his senses. Instead, more trepidation haunted him. He could not evade the unbridled visions. The only thing he could do was

drive faster to get to them as early as possible. He would only be relieved after he saw for himself that they were both safe and unharmed.

He once again stepped on the pedal and the car raced forward. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

After what seemed like an eternity, Brian finally got to the location which Antonio had mentioned. He hit the brakes abruptly and the dust gathered around his car like a sandstorm. All his subordinates who were present there were treading on eggs, waiting for the upcoming storm of fury.

As he angrily kicked open the car door to get off, Antonio and his subordinates from the XK Intelligence Agency rushed to formally greet their boss.

"Mr. Long."

Brian eyed them coldly. He looked around and noticed that the members of the Shadow Organization were standing beside the XK Intelligence Agency men. He sneered at them," Where are Shirley and Molly?"
