Adrian kept shaking his head, wanting to reach out and grab Molly Yun, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.
Overhead, a deafening roar thundered.
Molly Yun looked up and saw a helicopter circling, heading in their direction.
Without any hesitation, Molly Yun turned to leave.
Suddenly, a loud crash sounded from behind.
Molly Yun instinctively stopped in her tracks and turned to look back.
She saw Adrian tumble off the table and onto the floor, tears glistening in his eyes as he desperately crawled toward her.
His lips trembled, unable to speak, but Molly Yun could still read his lips: "Nora, you promised me. You said you wouldn't leave me!"
The once handsome Adrian was now a complete mess.
The tears in his eyes were absolutely real.
Molly Yun knew he had truly fallen for her.
But... I'm sorry.
I can't accept these feelings.
Molly Yun kept backing away, shaking her head at Adrian: "Adrian, let it go! I've already taken down everyone here! No one can stop me now! There was never any possibility between us. Don't hold on to this anymore."
Adrian felt a bitter taste in his throat and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
His complexion, which Molly Yun had painstakingly nursed back to health, turned pale in an instant.
Seeing Adrian cough up blood made Molly Yun feel terrible; her eyes involuntarily reddened.
Molly Yun knew this was an instinct from deep within her bloodline.
A killer's instinct!
Adrian looked at Molly Yun's retreating figure and gave a sorrowful smile. Tears mixed with the blood at the corner of his mouth, painting a heartbreakingly beautiful scene.
The plane arrived.
A soft ladder dropped down.
Molly Yun knew she couldn't hesitate any longer. She suddenly turned and grabbed the ladder, secured herself with the safety rope, and began to climb up step by step.
Adrian grew more and more desperate, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly as Molly Yun left.
Molly Yun didn't dare look at him again. She sped up, climbing quickly, and reached the top in less than five minutes.
Cecilia Gu hugged Molly Yun tightly, sobbing with excitement: "Sister! You're finally back!"
"Xixi!" Molly Yun gently closed her eyes. "I'm back!"
Charles Yin raised his hand, ready to give the order to burn everything in sight.
But before he could give the order, Molly Yun stopped him: "Don't!"
Charles Yin and Cecilia Gu both turned to look at Molly Yun.
"Let him go." Molly Yun bit her lip and looked down. When she saw the despair in Adrian's eyes, her heart ached unbearably: "All these days, he never mistreated me."
Cecilia Gu seemed to understand, looked at Molly Yun and then at Adrian, sighed, and pressed down Charles Yin's hand. "Listen to your sister."
Charles Yin's eyes flickered, then he withdrew his hand and ordered the plane to return.
The helicopter circled in the air, sending waves rippling across the lake, then made a beautiful turn and left.
Adrian's hand fell limply to the ground. He lay on the floor in despair, recalling every moment he spent with Molly Yun over the past days.
Every frame, every scene was unforgettable.
Tears fell from his eyes, quickly soaking the floor beneath him.
Nora, Nora, how could you be so heartless!
Just leaving, just like that?
Do you really have no regrets at all?
Actually, when Molly Yun offered to personally nurse him back to health, he did have his doubts.
The herbs Molly Yun requested were also specially inspected.
He knew Nora was smart and talented, but in the end, he chose to trust her.
He believed that if he treated her sincerely, she would surely feel his love.
So, he would personally make gifts for her, secretly send people out to buy pretty hair clips, make her a flying bamboo dragonfly, and craft a little carriage that could move on its own.
He wanted to see her smile. He wanted everything about her.
Yes, he did approach Nora with a purpose at first.
But after these days together, he knew better than anyone that his purpose had changed.
He wanted Nora, wanted to be with her forever.
But why?
Why did she betray him?
Why did she leave?
Didn't she promise not to leave?
Nora, how could you treat me like this?
Adrian gently closed his eyes.
Unstoppable tears soaked his face, full of endless regret.
After parting today, who knows when they'll meet again?
At that moment, someone stumbled over, obviously the effects of the drug were wearing off.
After all, it was made in a hurry. The fact that it could keep them down for a while was already impressive.
"Mr. Adrian, do you want to give chase?" the person asked urgently.
