Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 716

"Mommy..." a soft voice called and little hands wrapped around Molly, "Papa Brian will wake up soon. He won't leave Mommy and Mark."

Molly turned around to find that the ward was half crowded. There was Shirley, who had been with her every day, waiting for Brian to wake up. Right beside her was Richie, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and Eric was standing near the door. He had been staying in A city for the past few days.

"Dad...Mom..." she greeted them. "Eric..." Molly nodded at him too. She swallowed her sadness and wore a smile on her lips. Then she bent down to carry Mark in her arms and asked him, "Did you have a good time at school today?"

"Yeah!" Mark answered enthusiastically as he hugged her neck. "I won the first place in the test today."

"Wow, good job!" Molly held his little cheek between her fingers softly.

"Little Molly, why don't you go and get something to eat?" Shirley said and walked towards her. She took Mark from her hands and said, "You should take better care of yourself. Otherwise you will be bedridden by the time Brian wakes up. Look at you. You have lost so much weight."

Molly had no appetite, but she didn't want anybody else to worry about her. Turning to take a look at Brian, who didn't show any sign of waking up soon, she nodded and walked out of the ward with Eric's company.

Eric watched her as she poked the food in the service plate with her chopsticks without actually eating anything. He frowned and said, "You should take care of yourself, at least for Brian's sake."

Molly raised her head to look at Eric. With a gloomy face, she said, "Eric, I'm afraid..."

"He will wake up," Eric said firmly. "This is Brian Long we're talking about."

Seeing the unyielding look in Eric's eyes, Molly stopped moving completely. Then with a faint smile on her lips, she said, "Yeah! He's Brian Long, the one who can control everything and everyone! Nothing can beat him."

Eric nodded and pushed the service plate towards her, "Exactly. Now eat something!"

Molly nodded and began eating. Despite her poor appetite, she tried to put about one third of the food into her mouth. She had to look after Brian and wait for him to wake up. She couldn't afford to fall sick at a crucial time like this.

"Did you have your eyes checked up recently?" Eric asked when he noticed her red eyes.

Molly answered, "I did. I'm taking the medicine which was prescribed by Elias." With a sad smile, she added, "I have been affected by this sequela for five years now. According to Elias' examination report, it wouldn't be easy to eradicate it completely. It is okay to just keep the condition under control as it is now."

"Are you planning to live your whole life this way?" Eric asked, somewhat annoyed by her carefree answer. "Tell me, how long have you slept in the past few months? You were injured too."

"I was only injured on the surface. All my wounds healed a long time ago," Molly lowered her eyes in grief. "Eric, how can I sleep when Brian is in such a state? Every time I fall asleep, I dream about that accident. If it weren't for me, he..."

"Enough!" Eric interrupted Molly, "Brian did that because he loves you. If you feel guilty, then repay him with your love." He had to grit his teeth as he said those words. Nobody else could understand how he was feeling right then.

Whenever he stood beside Brian's bed, he wondered whether he would be able to protect Little Molly by instinct, just like Brian had done. He didn't have an answer. He only knew that it was time for him to retreat from the battlefield once and for all, because nobody could come in between Brian and Molly anymore.
