"Remember to take the medicine after your meal, " said Lisa. She put the pills in a small box and said, "If you want to visit your mother, just tell John. He will drive you there."
Hearing Lisa's words, Molly's eyes instantly brightened up. She looked at Lisa in surprise and asked, "Really? Can I?"
Lisa smiled and nodded. Molly paused and asked, "Then... won't he get angry?"
Lisa burst into laughter and said, "This is exactly what Mr. Long told me."
Molly found that it was really difficult to understand Brian's attitude towards her. Sometimes, he treated her so well that it almost made her fall for his sweetness; but sometimes, he was a horrible demon who would destroy her entirely. Whenever she was with him, Molly felt like she was between paradise and hell.
Molly was eager to visit her mother and as soon as she finished her meal, she asked John to drive her to the hospital. "Here we are, Miss Xia, " John steadily stopped the car and said with a smile. "I'll wait for you in the parking lot."
Before she got out, Molly threw a glance at the tall building through her window. There was a golden Dragon Empire Group logo which looked luxurious and aggressive.
Dragon Empire Group was an international and legendary family empire company, specializing in various scopes. However, most of the girls took delight in thinking about its legendary CEO, who was said to have given up the opportunity of oil exploration on the Sun Island, in exchange for his wife's safety. He was also rumoured to have given up his wealth and status, so his wife could live a common, happy, and peaceful life. They travelled the world now, leaving traces of their romance in every corner of the globe.
Many girls admired the woman who had that man's true love. How they hoped that they could own such a man's love, even if just for a short moment!
However, everyone had his or her own fate. Luck didn't knock on everyone's door, and it was pointless to admire someone else. Molly herself understood that a humble, common girl like her could never get such good luck. She was a mere speck of dust in the universe.
She thanked John and got out of the car. When she walked to the entrance of the in-patient building, she stood there and scanned the surroundings. The strong disinfectant in the air made it smell like any other hospital, but for some unknown reason, Molly felt right at home.
How ridiculous! She felt at home in a hospital.
A gust of cold wind blew and Molly shivered. She came back to her senses and walked into the building. After she had inquired about the position of her mother's ward at the reception desk, she went straight to Nephrology on the 7th floor.
Inside the elevator, she again noticed the logo on the door and thought about the legendary CEO...
Brian Long and Eric Long probably had a close relationship with the former CEO of the Dragon Empire Group.
Having confirmed that it was the 7th floor, Molly walked out and, with the help of a guide, uneasily reached Sharon Xia's ward.
Standing in front of the door of the ward, she saw through the window that her father was sitting inside on the sofa and her mother was leaning against the headrest. Their faces were stern, as if they were arguing about something serious.
With a deep breath, Molly walked inside.
Her footsteps drew the attention of her parents. Her dad's eyes held shock, while her mother was looking at her through a veil of complex emotions, mixed with anger and sadness.
