Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 162

Eric frowned at the bad news. In his deep cold voice he asked," Felix, her attending physician, reassured me that everything was under his control. How could he let this happen?"

"Miss Yan went through so much mental stress that the nerves in her eyes were badly pressed which made the situation worse. Dr. Felix examined her thoroughly."

"Can we still hope for the best in this kind of situation or would it be best for us to accept the truth that this is something permanent?" Eric was burdened by his own thoughts as he asked.

"There is an underlying silver lining here only if we could get her to have retina transplant within three months. Yet if we are unsuccessful of finding the best donors then ... she will be trapped in the darkness permanently," the shadow added.

Keeping silent for a moment, Eric then asked," how many matching retinas have been found so far?"

"We have just found a pair and tomorrow Dr. Felix will do a series of tests. However..." The shadow choked himself because he knew he was going to convey another piece of bad news. "Dr. Felix said that the odds of successful match were lesser!"

"This isn't the time to lose hope. Let's wait for the result tomorrow keeping our fingers crossed. I want you to closely monitor everything and give me an update from time to time." Eric's voice was firm as he ordered.

"Yes, Young Master!"

An unfathomable darkness could be seen in Eric's eyes as he ended the conversation.

Although love never played a part between Eric and Becky and he pursued her merely because of his competitive spirit towards Brian, they still shared lots of memories since they had grown up together He couldn't stand watching Becky's sight gradually fading as if the snow in the winter stroked by the sunlight in the spring.

Wondering how he could break the news to Brian, Eric was preoccupied with his thoughts again. Yet, he was in doubt. Brian didn't even trouble himself finding Becky after she had been away for so long. That fact alone was enough not to tell him about Becky's heath issue.

Was it because of Molly?

Brian and Becky's affection towards each other lasted for a decade. That was such a long time compared to knowing Molly for a month. Eric was a bit nosy as he thought of these things all by himself while gazing at Molly, who was still busy in the kitchen.

So far, his brother had showed special affection towards Molly. However, Becky was out of ordinary. She was a kind of woman that was rare like a diamond in a messy field of hay. No one could ever be like her.

While Eric was lost with all these thoughts, Brian came with his sharp gaze fixed on him. He looked overextended of all the happenings, yet he stayed still and cool. He took off his coat as he approached Eric.

"You seem to be very interested in coming here recently!" Brian's voice was crowded with curiosity. The sweet yet rusty aroma from the wine tempted him to pour a glass of wine for himself. His attention, then, was caught by the soft buzzes coming from the kitchen.

It never came to Eric's mind that Brian would come back because he knew Brian was too absorbed in all the preparations. Yet this time, what he couldn't believe was that Brian not only had come back, but also had come back much earlier than before!
