Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 420 Parting Ways (Part Four)

Becky's mind was busy. She tried to keep calm which was not hard for her. She was accustomed to disguising her feelings as the upper-class people did. She said, "Molly, are you really so na?ve... Or do you like fooling yourself? Brian has done an unforgivable thing to you. Do you still think that he likes you or what?" she derided Molly.

Molly looked at Becky thoughtfully. She put her hands over her stomach protectively. She told herself that although her eyes were given to Becky, she had received an unexpected gift in return. Now she just wanted the baby. She would never be alone. No matter what Becky had said, there was nothing more important right now than her baby.

"Brian is indeed good to you. But it's just because you have given me your eyes. He just wanted to compensate you..." Becky smiled secretly as she saw Molly's unguarded expression. Molly didn't know how to hide her emotion at all. From her expression, Becky could tell that she still wasn't sure about Brian's feelings for her. She continued, "He asked you to wait for him only because he wanted to give you this!"

Becky took out a cheque that she had prepared in advance and held it out to Molly. She said coldly, "Ruby, if you leave now, you could still keep a little dignity. Otherwise..."

She smiled maliciously. The kind of smile that made people think bad things were about to happen. Molly felt horrible, looking at the cheque as if it was something evil. She felt so sad and disappointed that she almost forgot to breathe. So... it was just his compensation. Molly tried to hide the sadness she felt in her heart. She didn't want Becky to know how pathetic she really was. She gripped her clothes firmly. "Is that so? Becky Yan, if it were really as you said that Brian was being good to me just because he felt guilty, and he asked me to wait for him to come back so he could give me the check personally... Wouldn't you be happy to see that he told me himself in your place? After all, don't you always take pleasure in seeing me suffer? So, what's your motive in telling me this in advance?" Molly sneered, "Are you finally being nice to me... Or are you afraid? Becky Yan, admit it, you are afraid that the reason why Brian is good to me is not because of guilt, but because he has fallen in love with me! So, you want me to leave as quickly as possible..." Becky was taken aback by Molly's diatribe. She never dared to talk back to her like this before. She was hopping mad now, but she didn't want Molly to see that her words got to her. She tried to hide her inner panic, feigning an unaffected look. Taking the cheque violently, Becky said scathingly, "If it makes you feel better to say those preposterous words... Then you can wait until Brian comes back!"

After saying that, Becky smiled mockingly. Without any more words, she turned on her heels and started walking out of the diner. She had just taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped. She turned back to face Molly. She said lightly, "By the way, I forgot to say thank you for your eyes... I like them very much!"

Glimpsing Molly's pale face, her lips curled in a smile before turning away. The moment she turned her back to Molly, her face became gloomy. She had no idea that Molly would refuse her offer. She wondered what could make her go away...

Molly stood frozen as she watched Becky's retreating back. She felt as if she was viciously attacked and her body torn to pieces. The sorrow that she had been deliberately ignoring for the past days all rushed into her brain. In an instant, her eyes turned red with suppressed tears. A stabbing pain hit her eyes that almost made her cry out. She closed her eyes tightly because of the pain. After some time, the pain slowly dissipated. She slowly opened her eyes and her sight became clear again.

Just when she had finally calmed down, she saw Becky walking back inside the room. She was talking to someone on the phone. After a while, she passed the phone to Molly...

"Daddy's call," said Becky with a slight smile. Molly's face turned pale in an instant, she looked as if she wanted to leave. Becky's words stopped her, "I heard that Mayor Gu is looking for you!"

When Molly heard that it was Rory, she didn't want to pick up the phone. But when she learned that it was Edgar, she hurriedly took the phone from Becky. Just this morning, she was thinking to look for him.

It was the only good thing to come out of Becky's surprise visit. Putting the phone near her ear, she said tentatively, "Hello?"

"Molly," Edgar's anxious voice came to her ear, "are you okay?"

Molly lowered her head. She said, "Yes, I'm okay!"

If she was not sad about leaving Brian and not thinking about losing her eyes to Becky... Then she would really be okay.

"Molly, I want to see you. But I can't get inside the hospital." Edgar's voice was heavy with concern. "I have thought of many ways but nothing worked. Finally, through Mr. Yan, I could just..."

Edgar's voice trailed off. But Molly understood what he was trying to say. He found Rory and then finally he could contact her.

Molly looked pointedly at Becky. For the first time, she seemed cooperative walking away to let them talk privately. Molly was a little surprised at Becky's action. As soon as Becky was out of earshot, she said, "Edgar, I want to know something about the letter..." "That was also why I wanted to see you!" Edgar's voice suddenly became heavy, "Your father came to find me before the affair in Phoenix Mountain happened. He said that in the event that he died or was forced to leave... I must give this letter to you!" "Did Brian force them to leave?" A pulse throbbed in Molly's throat as she waited for Edgar's answer.

"I don't know!" After a short pause, Edgar added, "But I guess... Yes! In addition... there is something else you have to know, Molly..."

Molly's breath became lodged in her throat. Somehow, she had a bad feeling about what Edgar was about to tell her. However, against her will, the question came out of her dry throat, "What?" "Molly..." Edgar hesitated before saying, "Molly, Sharon is gone!"

Something seemed to explode in her head as she heard the news. Her eyes widened in horror. Her lips were quivering as she asked dully, "G-gone? What... What do you mean, gone?"

"Uncle Xia left me a letter..." Edgar's voice became heavier, "it said that Sharon has not received treatment before. I'm afraid that... before Uncle Xia left, Sharon had already died!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
