Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 377

"This is my life!" Molly snorted. "I eat at street stands, and I'm satisfied with any food that can fill my stomach!"

He was taken aback by her sudden outburst. But Brian seemed oblivious to the underlying meaning behind the words. They belonged to different worlds. She could never catch up with him, and he would never pause to wait for her. At the back of her mind, she knew Brian and Becky were perfect for each other. But her arrival strained their relationship. What was worse was that Molly knew she would have to leave Brian sooner or later.

How could Brian not know what she was trying to tell him? In the beginning, he only felt some reluctance in letting her go and didn't understand why. Now, Brian was sure he really didn't want to let Molly go.

He was still also trying to figure out what Becky and Molly meant to him. Inhaling deeply, Brian was starting to feel in his heart that Molly had captivated him. He was thinking this was perhaps what Wing was trying to tell him. Wing said he had fallen in love with a vulnerable woman who had a tendency to selectively avoid certain things. And the woman was someone who might eventually cause him a great deal of trouble.

Gazing deeply into Molly's eyes, Brian said, "Molly, have you ever tried living with only wild fruits to sustain you for months?" It was a strange question that had Molly raise her eyebrows in confusion.

She waited for Brian to continue.

"People have different pursuits at different times of their lives. It's not that they can't adapt to a variety of circumstances," Brian said cryptically. He didn't really care if Molly understood what he was trying to tell her, so he took her by the hand so they could walk side by side.

When they stopped in front of the car, that was the only time Molly realized that Tony was already there waiting for them.

"To the hospital," Brian ordered. She noted his tone of indifference but did not say a word.

"Okay!" Tony responded. He glanced at his passengers in the back seat through the rear-view mirror and frowned at seeing them sit far apart from each other. He shrugged and started the car to head to the hospital.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Brian and Molly got off the car silently. During the trip, no one said anything to the other. They entered the elevator, one after the other, to head to the ward.

The elevator reached the VIP floor, and its doors opened quietly. They got off, still without saying anything. As soon as they stepped out, they met Eric and Wing, who were both in the corridor. The four exchanged quiet glances, each one preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Eric had a sour look for Brian and a gentle smile for Molly. He wheeled himself towards her and looked at Molly with puppy-dog eyes while saying, "Molly, I'm hungry. I was worried about you and haven't eaten anything."

Hearing Eric say this made Molly feel guilty. "I'm very sorry," she apologized. "How about I take you to eat right now?" she said brightly.

His eyes lit up at the invitation and immediately nodded.

"Yes, I think that's a good idea," Brian interrupted. "I haven't eaten anything either. Count me in!" Turning to Wing, he asked, "Have you eaten?"
