Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 323

Molly raised her head and looked at Becky with surprise and confusion in her eyes. Why didn't Becky recognize her? Perhaps she meant nothing in Becky's eyes, so she didn't even remember her at all. She didn't know the answer. All she knew is that this person was a rival for Brian's affection. And the thought that she wasn't as worthy of Brian's love as Becky made her blood freeze in her veins.

Lisa glanced at Molly, then answered Becky's question with a smile that an employee would save for her master. An insincere smile at best, but enough to mollify a boss. "She's the new maid that Mr. Long hired."

"Yeah?" Becky furrowed her eyebrows, looking a bit confused. "I thought Brian didn't like hiring new people?"

There was a trace of mockery in her voice. And before Lisa could say anything else, Becky opened her mouth again. "What kind of person is she?"

As soon as Becky's question came out, Molly clenched her hands into tight fists, and Lisa was confused. Why would Becky ask such a question? Molly couldn't understand why Becky was acting like she wasn't here at all. What did she want? This was confusing and outrageous!

"Mom," Lucy interrupted, when she saw their confusion. She then said slowly,"Miss Yan has a retina infection. She's...uh...blind." She wasn't really comfortable saying it, and she wasn't sure how Becky would take it.

Lisa again had that worried expression that lined her face. She looked carefully at Becky again, with eyes full of disbelief. "Oh God. I'm sorry. How did it happen?" she asked tentatively.

As she recalled, Becky's eyes were probably her best feature -- so beautiful and energetic. No wonder her eyes looked now a bit duller than they used to be. They were not as clear as they were before. What a shame. While Lisa was pondering this, Molly widened her eyes in shock when she heard this. She stared intensely at Becky for a moment, wanting to make sure that she really couldn't see her. But Becky didn't turn her head but stared straight ahead. She really couldn't see. For the first time since Becky walked in, Molly finally felt a sense of relief.

"That's all right," Becky said, smiling. "Brian is looking for a suitable pair of retinas for me as we speak. I won't be blind for long."

Her optimism made everything seem easier. Lisa still said a few comforting words to her, then told her that she had some work to do. Besides, she wanted to get Molly out of here. It was obvious that she didn't want to be in the same room with Becky. Also, Lisa knew her own daughter well. She saw the happy and excited look on her daughter's face when she said that Becky was here. Lisa knew that Lucy was only happy because she wanted to see Molly unhappy. So she felt sorry for Molly. She believed Molly was just a poor girl who was forced into a bad situation.

She couldn't forget it. Becky couldn't see her. Combine that with the fact she changed her name after she left, and she felt a lot more relaxed. It was a lot harder for Becky to hate her if she didn't know who she was. She played with her ring finger and followed Lisa into the kitchen.

"Molly," Becky called out, making Molly suddenly stop. "Brian's probably busy right now, and I don't want to bother him. Could you get me a glass of orange juice? I'll be downstairs."
