Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 321

She was screaming with joy inside her head. 'He did not delete it! Yes! He kept the photo in her phone.' But why was she so emotional last night?

Running her fingers gently on the picture, she smiled through red-rimmed eyes. It was a bitter smile but one that gave her a glimmer of hope. No one would ever know her secret.

Becky was enjoying the sunlight while seated at the hotel's terrace. She sat quietly like a picture.

Yoyo set the breakfast prepared by the hotel on the table and looked at Becky. She sighed inwardly, admiring how beautiful the woman looked at this very moment. "Breakfast is ready, Miss Yan," she announced.

There was no response. There was a faraway look in Becky's eyes although she saw nothing. The woman drew her gaze back and replied distantly,"Wait a moment."

Brian promised to come to the hotel after he finished work last night, but he never came. He gave his word only to break them.

Anticipating his arrival, Becky waited and waited and waited the whole night. Her heart slowly sank as it grew late. She wondered if he changed his mind. Then it crossed her mind that he might have accompanied Molly last night.

It twisted her heart to think this was the case, and could not help but feel hurt. As the depressing feeling gnawed at her, she clutched the edge of her clothes, and her white face became even paler.

Looking at her patient, Yoyo worried. She was merely a nurse. If Becky said to wait a moment, then she could not be forced to have breakfast. So she stood there, waiting how long that moment would last. As the minutes ticked to hours, the warm sun was slowly rising higher. The morning chill was gone.

But Becky kept waiting, and as she did her heart sank more. He didn't come last night, and he wasn't present for breakfast either. He never even bothered to call.

Finally, Becky laughed at herself. Taking a deep breath, she stood up slowly. Yoyo rushed to her side to assist her. She asked,"Would you like to eat something now, Miss Yan?"

The nurse saw Becky smile lightly and nod. Yoyo noted how remarkably serene she acted today. As the woman sat at the table, Yoyo warmed her milk and passed her the bread with jam. She nibbled at her food like a robot. The hotel assured breakfast would be delicious. But Becky never appreciated it at all.

Sensing Becky's need for silence, Yoyo did not disturb her as she ate stoically. She just stood nearby and stayed quiet. Occasionally, she would glance at Becky, who was as elegant and gentle as a princess.

After a few bites, Becky pushed away her plate and gestured she had eaten enough. She couldn't bring herself to finish her food. Taking a deep breath, she called Yoyo and said,"I want to go out."

"Okay," Yoyo replied, rushing to her side. "Where would you like to go, Miss Yan?" She pushed the breakfast dishes aside. "Will you be going somewhere nearby or…" Yoyo hesitated.

"Somewhere a bit far away," Becky replied softly. The nurse barely heard Becky but understood that her gentle response was a reflection of how well-educated her patient was.

She hurried to prepare Becky's clothes and not long after they were walking out of the hotel. Yoyo made reservations for a car service, which the hotel provided.

"Where are we headed to, Miss?" the driver asked. As a professional, he was trained to smile at his passengers although he sensed Becky was very quiet.
