Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 406 Molly's Choice (Part One)

Molly's words took Rory by surprise, as he didn't expect that Molly would know what he was thinking.

And he didn't know how to respond.

Molly felt her heart being ripped into pieces when she saw his expression. She asked dejectedly, "You want me to give my eyes to Becky? "

Rory felt a pang of guilt when he saw the pain in Molly's eyes. After a long pause, he finally said, "Molly, Becky said that if she couldn't see anything, she wouldn't want to live at all. I'm begging you, please. You can come back home and we'll live together from now on. I'll be there for you just like I am to Becky! I'll be like a dad to you."

"That's bullshit!" She stared at Rory, her eyes red, and asked mockingly, "Dad? Since when did you start seeing me as your own daughter? If Becky didn't say that she wanted to die because she couldn't see, you would never have come to me. What would you say if I was the one who went blind and wanted to die?" Molly felt bitter when she saw different expressions sift through Rory's face. Her chest had started to constrict and tears were streaming down from her face. She could slightly hear Rory calling her name gently. With a sad smile on her face, she said tragically, "You're asking me to come back home?

I don't need to go home at all. And I don't need you to be there for me."

She glared at Rory who remained silent before turning around to leave. She had taken no more than a few steps when Rory called her from behind, "Molly!" he had grabbed her by the arm.

"Let me go!"

Molly screamed as she frantically shook her arm free. Rory wasn't holding her tight enough and the shaking had made him stumble backwards. Molly lost her balance too, twisting her ankle in the process

and falling on her back.

Bang!

There was a loud thud and Molly felt a sharp pain shoot in the back of her head. By this time, Molly couldn't see anything - just pure black.

"Molly, Molly!" NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

The last thing Molly heard was someone calling her name anxiously from a distance. After which, she lost consciousness and blacked out.

Molly was brought to the emergency room where Dr. He meticulously checked Molly's body. Although not all of the hospital staff knew who exactly Molly was, they did know that she was important to both Brian and Eric. Important enough for them to give special treatment to Molly.

Rory grimly paced back and forth in the corridor, stopping every once in a while in front of the emergency room. Sometimes, he would be tempted to take a peek between the closed curtains. Eventually, he decided to go to the VIP room instead.

Molly had already been in the emergency room for about an hour by the time Brian had arrived. Someone had told him that Molly didn't go to the hospital for the check-up so he asked Lisa about it. Lisa told him that Molly had already left for the hospital in John's car several hours ago, so he called John to confirm. John told him that Molly had been at the hospital for more than two hours now. He could sense something was wrong so he hurried to the hospital. True enough, the moment Brian walked in the hospital, someone told him that Molly had been sent to the emergency room.

"What happened?' Brian asked tersely.

The nurse was trembling with fear, "Miss... miss... Miss Xia fell... And... and... she... she accidentally... hit... the back of her head... on the concrete."

Brian scowled at this. He headed to the emergency room ignoring the drawn curtains.

Dr. He turned to see who had just walked in. When he realized it was Brian, he quickly reverted his attention back to Molly.

After a while, a nurse walked into the room with an X-ray in her hand, "Dr. He, here are the results."

Dr. He took the X-ray and examined it closely. After a while, he ordered the nurse to get an operation room ready - he had a serious look on his face.

Brian kept quiet all throughout focusing his attention on Molly who was white as a sheet. He left her alone for one second and here she was injured. 'Molly, you make me so worried!'

Brian couldn't tell if he was angry at himself or at Molly. A few moments had passed and Felix walked in the room with an X-ray in his hands too. He wasn't expecting Brian to be there but it was not like he knew a lot about Brian too. All he knew was that Elias mentioned him once or twice when he gave him Becky's medical records. Oddly enough, Brian chose him to check Molly's eyes today. He had been told that Molly was in the emergency room so he decided to drop by. After reviewing her X-rays, Felix saw that Molly might have damaged some of her sequelae in the fall. Earlier, he was conflicted about it - not knowing what course of action he should take. But now that Brian was here, he could consult him about it.

"Mr. Brian Long," said Felix. Though Felix was from M Country, he was extremely interested in foreign culture and was fluent in the language of the country. "The nerves in Miss Xia's eyes have been damaged by the flash grenades earlier, and the hit just now made the vessels in her eyes burst. I'm afraid that..."

Brian kept his gaze fixed on Felix. He had a feeling he knew what Felix was going to say next, "Will she go..." Brian paused, "... blind?" he finished.

Knitting his brows together, Felix nodded.

Brian narrowed his sharp eyes. Dr. He, who had been busy with Molly, had stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Felix, then at Brian. The man who had always been hiding his feelings was now showing clearly what he was feeling.

The air in the room seemed to have become solid. But next moment, Molly's eyelashes slightly trembled, which went unnoticed.

Brian continued to glare at Felix. Felix, while tense and frankly, slightly afraid, continued, "If you can find a transplant, Molly may not go blind."

'If you can find a donor!'

Felix thought to himself. He didn't dare say that out loud to Brian for fear of his life.

"Also..." Felix hesitated to continue because he didn't know if now was the time to bring this up but he decided he should take the chance now. After all, he had been assigned to research Becky's condition for over a month now, when else would he get to say this? "Miss Xia's retinas are perfectly fine and she can still donate them to Miss Yan. Mr. Brian, I was hoping you could think this over."

Molly's eyelashes twitched again which went unnoticed again. Everyone in the room was focused intently on Felix and Brian.
