Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 409

The nurse frowned and wanted to say something. But when she caught sight of Molly lying on the operating table, she swallowed what she had wanted to say and nodded silently.

Soon, she returned back into the room with the drug in her hand. It was an anesthetic made from the combination of a few mild drugs which Elias had developed when he was researching on numbing drugs. This might just be the kind of anesthetic which might bring the least amount of harm to the human body.

Dr. He stretched out his gloved hand and took the drug tube from the nurse. The crystal clear drug shone brightly in the light.

At that moment, someone entered the room from outside.

Dr. He raised his head and saw Felix closing the door behind him. After Dr. He put the drug in a box carefully, Felix asked him with a serious look, "Is there any news from Mr. Brian Long?"

Dr. He shook his head in reply. In fact, they all knew that it wasn't easy to find someone who was willing to donate their eyes in just five hours. However, they had no other choice but to wait-- wait for a miracle to happen.

Brian had sent out all his men. All the staff from Emp and the Grand Night were searching for healthy eye donors all over A City. Their urgent move caused doubts in those who were watching them secretly.

"Is she here yet?" asked Edgar, who showed no interest when Bill told him about Brian's actions. He guessed that they were doing it because of Becky's illness.

Bill paused for a while until he figured out who 'she' was, "Miss Xia hasn't shown up yet."

Edgar tapped on the office table with his slender fingers. After he got the news that the letter had reached Molly, he hadn't moved a step away from his office in the City Hall. As he knew well about Molly, he guessed that she would surely come to confirm the contents of the letter. And then, he would persuade her to leave Brian and come back to him.

However, she hadn't come yet.

Edgar was usually patient and enduring, but he gradually lost his patience. As time went by, he even grew suspicious of his understanding about Molly. Finally, he commanded, "Send someone to the Empire Hospital and see what's going on."

"Okay," Bill replied as he left the office quickly. He didn't understand why Edgar wanted to see Molly so badly. He wondered, 'Shouldn't he be worrying about Major General Zeng right now?'

Actually, Edgar wasn't in the mood to pay any attention to the conflict between the conservative faction and the reformist faction. He knew that after the event at the Phoenix Mountain, the Governor of the Dragon Island had already visited the State Parliament in the name of a usual state affair meeting, but their real purpose was to exert pressure. The Dragon Island played an important role in the domestic economy, but the military had attempted to murder its future Governor. Obviously, that incident was bound to affect the domestic situation profoundly.

Edgar stood up from his seat and went to the window. The dull weather outside was similar to the sullen look on his face. He told himself firmly, 'This is the only chance I've got. I must use it!'

The depression radiating from Brian was no less grave than that of Edgar. It was almost impossible to find a donor in such a short time. As far as he was concerned, it was absolutely fine if he could just find someone with suitable eyes on the streets and give his eyes to Molly. However, he knew he couldn't do that. He didn't want Molly to hate him because of that, nor did he want her to blame herself.
