Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 603

Molly woke up with a terrible headache and felt sick. These days, she rarely rested as she sat by the bed to take care of Mark. Last night, Shirley came to see them and was heartbroken to see Molly this way. Aided by Spark, they convinced her to go to bed to get some rest. Everyone was now at the hospital, and it seemed like this had become home to them. Needing to stretch her legs, Molly got up to look out the window. There were some clouds, but the sun shone brightly. Through the purple floral curtains, the sun's rays filtered through the room. The logo of the Dragon Empire Group glistened intensely because of the sunlight. The glare came from the two majestic and magnificent dragons that made up the logo as they glowed golden under the morning light.

Bleary-eyed, Molly closed her eyes and shook her head to get rid of the pain, then opened them again. She went back near the bed to fold the covers she had thrown aside earlier. Molly headed to the bathroom and washed up quickly then proceeded to the ICU to see Mark. As she entered the unit, Molly saw health care workers cleaning up the area. Mark was not there. Stunned, she froze for an instant. When she realized that her son was no longer there, she went out to look for one of the doctors and inquired anxiously, "Where's Mark? He's supposed to be here."

Calmly, the doctor replied, "Mr. Brian Long just came to take him away. I heard he was transferring Mark to a foreign hospital so he can receive better medical treatment."

She was taken aback by what the doctor said. She released her hold on his arm and walked out of the ICU to look for Brian. When Spark stepped out of the elevator, he saw Molly running. She looked like she was searching for something or someone. Spark called her name, but she didn't respond. He became worried and quickly ran after her to inquire about what had happened.

Molly went around the hospital in search of Brian and Mark. She couldn't believe that Brian would have Mark transferred without telling her. But it looked like they were no longer in the hospital. Even Richie and Shirley were not there. Everyone seemed to have disappeared overnight. Her son was not there. She nearly went crazy looking all over the hospital for the boy and Brian. Finally, she found the man sitting under the arbor of the hospital garden. He was drinking coffee and reading a newspaper as if nothing happened.

"What are you doing here? Where's Mark?" she gasped while confronting Brian. She was breathless from all the running she had done and the fear that gripped her now.

Turning sideways to look at Molly briefly, his eyes returned to the newspaper he was reading. He was so calm as if nothing terrible had happened. Icily, he informed Molly, "He's gone with Richie and Shirley."

The panic she felt earlier turned into misery. Her eyes quickly turned red and tears welled inside, "Why? Why did you do that?" Molly wailed.

"Because Mark needs more advanced treatment," Brian replied.

"Why can't he stay here and receive that treatment?" she argued. "Why did you have to send him somewhere else? He can be treated well here."
