Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 538

"Come, I'll drive you." Molly looked at Brian with her swollen, red eyes.

She couldn't make up her mind.

Maybe, it was because of how sad Spark had sounded or maybe it was just Brian's offer altogether.

Molly remained still, biting her lips hesitantly. Her mind was one big mess as if she was playing a game that she didn't know the rules to. Every time she tried to get a win, she only sank deeper, her hands empty.

Spark winced when he heard Brian's overbearing voice over the phone. It was unspoken of but the war had already begun. Brian was obviously trying to get his message across to Spark: Molly was his, disrupting her heart simultaneously. Killing two birds with one stone, huh.

"I'll wait for you," Spark said, hanging up the phone before Molly could answer back. "Tony's going to pick up Mark and you're going to the hospital," Brian said right away.

Breaking his promise to Mark was the last thing Brian wanted to do but he didn't want Mark to see Molly like that - desperate and miserable.

And that's what Brian did: he sent Molly to the hospital. It was quite an odd relationship if one took a good look: Molly was sad and disheveled while Brian was calm and sharp as a tack.

Brian didn't come in with Molly when they got to the hospital, "I'll wait for you here," he said as he remained seated in the car.

Molly didn't expect that. She looked at Brian, bemused. Brian sat still, "What? You want me to be there while you talk divorce with Spark? No thanks."

Molly merely twitched her lips in disbelief as a response before getting off the car.

When Molly closed the door, she kept her eyes fixed on Brian or at least where he was supposed to be because she couldn't actually see him through the heavily-tinted windows. She lingered for a while before turning around and walking towards the hospital. If Molly was being honest about it, she was actually grateful that Brian chose not to come in with her. She was grateful for the privacy. When he had first offered to drive for her, she thought that it was just his way of controlling her or teasing her, either way. But she realized now that she was just overthinking it.

Brian watched as Molly's figure disappeared into the hospital entrance, murmuring to himself, "Molly, I have a lot of making up to do to Mark. I had to break my promise to him for you to be here but that's okay; it doesn't matter; it's worth the extra effort because I won't leave you alone in all of this."

Brian nestled in his seat, gazing outside the window. The leaves that pranced along the ground boasted a bright, fresh green as if it had just sprouted. If leaves could get a new start, could he and Molly have one too?

Meanwhile, Molly had just asked where Spark's room was and had walked into the elevator. Spark was more commonly referred to by his first and not his surname which in fact, made things easier.

Molly grew more nervous as she neared his ward. For a while, she even found it hard to breathe.

Ding!

The elevator door opened; she was here. She collected herself for a bit before walking out. The closer she became to his ward, the heavier her steps became.

When she finally reached the door, she raised her hand to knock but froze in air; her knuckles refused to touch the door. She tried to peep through the window but it was shining too brightly - making her even more flustered than she already was.

Just as she was delaying her going in, the door suddenly flew open. It was Manny.
