Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 755

Time has a powerful and magical property. It can heal any wound no matter how deep and fade bad memories which at one point shattered our world. But it at the same time can also strengthen our memories about things we don't want to forget, even in a peaceful manner. With the aid of unsurpassed time, we can lock away those dreaded memories in the most sensitive valve of our heart.

There is always something we choose not to forget.

The three of them stood outside Emp's parking lot, remaining still and almost numb at the same spot for quite a while. It was not long before a trace of suspicion appeared on Brian's melancholic eyes despite his attempt to maintain his usual cold and aloof nature.

Mark raised his head to look at Brian and had retained that posture for a long moment. His eyes glimmered like a deep peaceful lake reflecting the bright sunshine. The look was so pure and naive that any one could see their reflection in his pupils just like one could see beautiful pebbles at the lake's bottom through the crystal-clear water. The strange atmosphere among the trio clearly caught the boy's attention. So he titled his head to one side in a rather cute manner and asked sincerely, "Is there anything wrong, uncle?"

'Nothing..." Brian replied with a frown and continued, "It's fortunate that you didn't get hurt."

Mark flashed a relieved and grateful smile upon hearing Brian. He looked extremely cute as his dimples deepened on his bright smiling face. In his childish tone he said, "I am just fine. This uncle..." Mark went on as he cast a look at Tony, "stopped the car tight in time before it could even touch me. It didn't hurt though I tripped backwards as I tried to avoid it."

"Well, wouldn't that be nice." Brian murmured as he took a name card out from his pocket. He handed it to Mark, trying to maintain his usual composure as much as he could. His heart was overwhelmed and burdened with an array of conflicted feelings yet his tone remained calm when he spoke to Mark. "Call this number if you feel physically uncomfortable or if anything is wrong."

Mark grabbed the card and glanced down at it. A gleaming light flashed in his eyes the moment he saw the gilded character of "Brian Long" across it. He felt excited like her just made a discovery. "So, your surname is Long?" He raised his head yet again to look at Brian with his optimistic eyes which were full of excitement and happiness. In a joyful manner the boy yelled out, "Well, what a coincidence me too. My name is Addison Long. My mother calls me Mark, if you like even you can call me Mark."

Mark's words brought a stabbing pain through Brian's heart. He gritted his teeth in secret to avoid even a wince of his pain reflecting on his face. His forehead wrinkled up as he said to Mark, "What a coincidence!" There was an obvious trace of sadness in his tone.

"Yes, it is indeed!" Mark nodded with the same note of excitement as he put the name card into his pocket carefully and said, "I'm leaving, Brian. My mother is waiting for me at the shopping mall's entrance. So goodbye, Brian." Mark waved his hand as he bid farewell and left in jaunty steps.

Brian and Tony still remained standing in the same spot as they watched Mark leave. Neither of them moved even though Mark had long disappeared from their view.

Tony felt sorry for Brian. He looked at Brian and a lump formed in his throat. Despite how tough as he was, Tony had an impulse to cry at this tense moment. Brian had lost his memories, but Tony didn't lose his. He knew the relationship between Brian and Mark. Brian didn't remember who Mark was, and by now even Mark had forgotten who Brian was. Even though the father and son stood face to face, they didn't know their blood relation.
