Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 413

All of a sudden, Justin collapsed to the ground and shut his eyes. He tried to remember Molly's face at that moment but drew a blank. The last time he saw her face was that morning, and it was only very brief. Even then he didn't look at her seriously because all he could think about was Rory.

Karma was indeed a bitch.

As Justin collapsed, the last thing on his mind was that death was his only way out of all this. He would not be accepted by any faction; not the conservatives, not the reformists. Where was he to go?

But through all these, who would care? Even if they wanted to get to the bottom of what happened, there was no way to do it. The fight sparked by a 21-year-old war would be buried deep under together with Justin's execution and Jenifer's exile. Throughout the ordeal, the conservative faction and reformist faction both remained intact, or so it seemed. They merely sacrificed two people. But the truth was the two factions had been deeply affected by everything that happened.

There is a tendency among men to attribute mistakes to someone else. Rarely will someone take the blame even if it is his fault when it is more convenient to point to someone else as the culprit. The recent conflict was one good example. It was all attributed to Molly.

Becky was understandably agitated. Today she would find out whether she can see again or not.

"Take your time when I give the signal to open your eyes later. Don't rush it," Felix advised her. "You've been kept from light for far too long. Sudden exposure will be too much for your eyes to take immediately."

"Okay," Becky replied nervously. She followed this up with quick laughter.

Rory, meanwhile, stood aside anxiously as Felix slowly removed the bandages on Becky's eyes. In the room, only Brian appeared cold and aloof.

"All right, open your eyes slowly." Felix coached Becky with a gentle tone. "Take your time… That's right. Slowly now. Remember, don't rush it. Open your eyes slowly."

He guided Becky to open her eyes gradually. The first time her lids lifted, she quickly shut them as she became blinded by the light that was too bright for her dry eyes. She focused on adapting to the light and again slowly opened her eyes. This time, she saw a blurry image slowly becoming clear. Becky didn't realize she was holding her breath, and now exhaled as a smile came to her lips. "I... I can see now. I can see now!" she cried excitedly. "Daddy, I'm able to see now," she smiled broadly this time.

"That's fantastic! You can see now. That's wonderful," Rory exclaimed. He nodded encouragingly and blinked back the tears threatening to fall.

On the other hand, Brian looked at Becky with cold eyes. He was staring at the same eyes that used to obsess him. He looked at them and felt despair as he saw eyes that now could see because it had Molly's retina.

Tears pooling in her eyes, Becky turned to Brian who stood still with hands in his pocket. She slowly walked towards him, stopped in front of him then hugged him around the waist abruptly. Resting her cheek on his chest, she cried, "Brian, my eyes have recovered. I can see you now! Finally, I'm able to see you."

"Yeah," Brian replied without emotion. He gently patted her back and said, "Your eyes have just recovered. You shouldn't be crying so much, or you might hurt them."
