Molly made a face. "Well, since Manny isn't around, I have to go down there myself to take care of some things."
Spark didn't want to talk about it anymore so he let it go. He knew deep down that Molly really had lots of things to do. "Okay, Mark and I will meet you for lunch," he suggested.
"Okay," Molly responded. She whispered something quickly to Mark before leaving.
Her first stop was Dream Media where she had to iron out a few details about the concert. After that, she took a cab to go to the Empire Hospital but she was told that she had to walk her way up starting from the foot of the mountain. Apparently, the road was private and no one else was allowed there without a pass and only the Long family could give you a pass.
Molly stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the seemingly endless road ahead. 'Closing down a road just for their use?! What a bunch of elitists!' she groaned inwardly.
Letting out a deep sigh, Molly trod towards the hospital. Maybe, it was because of the quiet or the pain in her foot but Molly began to think about Brian and the previous day at the hospital. She started to slow down as she hoped with all her might that Brian wouldn't find out the truth about Mark.
'If, ' Molly stopped in her tracks, 'If Brian knew about Mark then he would definitely come to see me and he didn't, '
Molly reasoned to herself. She felt relieved and walked on.
Even then, she was already married to Spark and that was legally binding. They were just waiting for the concert to finish before leaving the city. From then, she, Spark and Mark would live on the island. They would forget all about their past and just focus on starting their new lives.
Elias wasn't there anymore when Molly arrived at the hospital. The nurse who had pushed her in the wheelchair the day before was there to receive her.
"Please wait for a while, Miss Xia," the nurse said to her before leaving her to call someone. Molly could see her nod many times throughout the phone call. After she hung up, the nurse walked towards her again.
"Miss Xia, Elias is at the villa. He said that you could go there to talk to him."
Molly frowned. "The villa?"
"Yes, the villa, that's what he said," the nurse confirmed, "We have a car and driver for you."
Molly could tell something was wrong but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. But nonetheless, she wanted to find out whether Mark's disability was congenital or caused by the drug. So she shook her suspicions off and took the nurse's offer on the car ride.
