Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 404 The Misunderstandings (Part Two)

Ever since the beginning, everything he had done was just a smokescreen to cover his true goal. What he really wanted was to unveil the truth of what had happened years ago to the military court. Only by doing this could he get out of Major General Zeng's control, and this was the only way he could continue his pursuit for Molly.

Things remained unusually calm during the next few days. It looked like everything was under control. But only those who were deep into this matter knew that it was, in fact, not as calm as it seemed on the outside. They were all still struggling.

Molly had stayed inside the villa for the past few days. The other day, Brian had promised her that he would come back and have dinner with her. But he never came. In fact, it had been a few days since Molly had last seen him. He seemed very busy. He had come back very late one evening after Molly was already asleep and by the time she woke up the next day, he was already gone. Molly didn't even get a glimpse of him. But still, every night when she was asleep, she could always feel Brian's gentle kiss on her lips. The kisses were as light as a feather.

But when she opened her eyes, she was always alone. The room was quiet and dark, and there would be no one beside her.

Molly sat on the fluffy rug by the big window with a gloomy look on her face. She enjoyed the dim sunlight shining down on her, but she couldn't stop worrying about Brian. She didn't know how things would develop through the next few days, but she had a vague idea. After all, she grew up in the military neighborhood. So she knew clearly how shady things could get when they were related to the military. The more she thought about it, the more she became worried about Brian.

"Miss Xia," Lisa came up to her after speaking on the phone, "the hospital called. They have asked you to go back for a check-up."

Molly looked at Lisa with blank eyes, "A check-up?"

"Yeah, a check-up. They told me that Mr. Brian Long asked for it. It's about your eyes," said Lisa as she looked at Molly's eyes. Her eyes were better than before, but they were still redder than usual. Lisa thought that a check-up would be good for her too.

Molly furrowed her eyebrows. Ever since she had that conversation with Becky, she had become uncomfortable about having her eyes checked. She didn't want to have a check-up at all, "I... I don't want to go."

Hearing Molly's reluctant words, Lisa smiled. She thought that Molly was afraid of going to the hospital. She then said in a gentle and caring tone, "Silly girl, you have to see a doctor if you aren't feeling well. Look at your eyes! They are still very red even after all these days. Mr. Brian Long wants you to have a check-up only because he is worried about you."

Lisa had clearly seen Brian's attitude towards Molly. And after listening to Miss Long, she was confident about Brian's feelings for Molly. She knew that Mr. Brian Long was more or less in love with the self- conscious girl in front of her. Though Mr. Brian Long seemed very cold and distant, once he really cared about someone, he would spoil the person to death in his very unique ways.

"I will ask John to drive you there," Lisa didn't wait for Molly's reply. She ordered, "Just go upstairs and change your clothes."

Molly watched Lisa's retreating back. She gently bit her lip and walked upstairs to change her clothes just as Lisa had asked. Her head was still in a mess when she was in the car with John, heading to the hospital.

The car slowly slid out of the big villa. Lucy watched them leave with a sketchbook in her hand. Once the car had disappeared from her view, she immediately took out her phone, found Becky's number and called her.

The private Dragon Empire Group hospital.

"Miss Xia, I will wait for you here," John said in a warm tone.

She thanked John timidly and got off the car. John watched her until she entered the hospital and disappeared from his view. Then he withdrew his gaze and waited outside patiently.

Molly silently walked towards the elevator. She was already quite familiar with this hospital because she had been here too many times.

She entered the elevator and when the door was about to close, someone called 'wait' from outside. Molly immediately pushed the open button. The door opened again and a man walked in. Molly glanced at him. She could tell that the man was in his twenties. He stood straight. She thought he had the demeanor of a soldier.

The elevator slowly went up. Molly felt that the atmosphere in the elevator was quite depressing. And she had a bad feeling about it. She furrowed her eyebrows and glanced at the man who was standing beside her. He was looking at her and she quickly turned her face to avoid his gaze. She wondered in shock why he was staring at her. They didn't know each other, after all.

"You are Molly, right?" He asked her out of nowhere.

Molly jerked her head to look at him in surprise. How did he know her name? Why didn't she recognize him? "And you are?"

"You don't know me." He seemed to know exactly what she was thinking and smiled a little, "I was a soldier in Mayor Gu's army."

Molly immediately liked him better than before and didn't mind talking to him anymore. She smiled politely and greeted, "Nice to meet you. I'm Molly Xia."Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He glanced at the number on the screen of the elevator first, then casually turned his head to glance at the camera in the corner. He then said to Molly, "Actually, I have been waiting here for you for the past few days."

"Waiting for me?" Molly frowned. She looked at him in confusion. Why was he waiting for her? She couldn't understand what this man was trying to say.

He just nodded his head. The look on his face was quite serious. He then asked her politely, "Can we go somewhere else to talk? I promise I will explain it to you. It's just that the elevator is not a very convenient place for the kind of thing I'm about to tell you."

Molly looked at the man in front of her. Though she felt that he wasn't a bad guy and wasn't going to do anything bad to her, she still hesitated because of what had happened before. She was afraid that she would accidentally cause trouble for Brian. She couldn't risk it.

The man could easily tell that Molly was hesitant, so he assured her, "I'm not going to hurt you, I promise. I just want to talk to you about something important, that's all. But you see, I can't do this inside an elevator."

As soon as he said that, the elevator came to a stop. With a 'ping' sound, the door slowly opened, and two nurses walked in.

Molly hesitated for a bit, then she walked out of the elevator without saying a word. Seeing this, he hurriedly walked after her just before the door was about to close.

Molly had no idea which floor she was on. She just walked straight to the waiting area and sat down. The waiting area in this hospital was a good place to talk because it was pretty peaceful. And there were also a few nurses walking outside the area and they would notice if something happened there. So Molly could talk to this man without putting herself in a dangerous position.
