Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 407 Molly's Choice (Part Two)

Molly could feel the weight of her eyelids and they were too heavy that she couldn't bring her eyes to open. In addition to that, she could feel her head throbbing as if it was going to explode any minute now. She was able to catch a few snippets of what Felix was saying but she was unable to open her eyes.

The room was silent waiting for Brian to respond.

Dr. He was familiar about Becky's condition too and he thought Felix was right. Molly was going to lose her eyes anyway and might as well donate them to Becky while they were still okay.

Molly grew groggier and if she gave in, she might fall asleep again. But she was trying with all her might to stay awake because she wanted to know what Brian's answer was.

Brian turned his head to look at Molly lying down on the bed, still not saying anything. Even after a nurse came in to inform them that the operation room was ready, Brian still kept silent.

"Mr. Brian Long, please decide now." Felix urged him, "If you agree that we transfer Miss Xia's retinas to Miss Yan then we would need to remove Miss Xia's retinas during the operation later."

Brian remained silent as he strode towards Molly to hold her hand. He stared at Molly, unsure of what to do and what to feel. He completely understood what Felix was saying. It was true that even if Molly didn't give her retinas to Becky, she still wouldn't be able to see.

Brian recalled what Becky had said to him before but he knew that he couldn't spend his life with Becky. 'Mol, ' Brian thought to himself, 'If something bad happens, do you believe that I will love you and protect you all my life?'

Her hands were chilly as usual which reminded him of the saying that one with cold hands and feet will never feel loved.

Even since she was a little girl, there was almost no one who really loved her and cared about her.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt dejected. He opened his mouth curtly and slowly said, "Then give her retinas to Becky." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Brian's answer left a mark on Molly's mind. She wanted to say no, to fight back, but there was nothing she could do. Her heart sank. When she read the letter, she couldn't believe it and had been skeptical ever since and now hearing Brian's answer, she knew how naive she had been. Becky, you won!

She could feel a wave of misery that it made her head hurt. It was as if a huge wall had collapsed into her head but not long after, Molly fell asleep again.

Brian fondly rubbed Molly's hands. Her hands weren't as soft and as smooth like Becky's. There were scratches and wounds from the thorns that night at Phoenix Mountain. Brian could feel where the gashes were and it hurt Brian's heart.

He looked at his own hands and he could still see the bite marks on his wrist - it was from Molly. That was when he had become sure of her.

"I want Molly to still be able to see." Brian said flatly. His face showed no emotion but everyone in the room was tense. "I'll help you with everything you need," Brian promised as he turned to Felix, "But you must promise me that Molly won't go blind."

Felix frowned because he wasn't sure he could make that promise. It wasn't easy at all to find a donor in such a short time. "If we can find a donor then yes, she won't go blind."

"Until when can we find a donor?" Brian asked coldly.

"Within three to five hours." Dr. He answered for Felix. "There's a clot in the back of Miss Xia's head, which is pressing on her nerves. So I have to work on the clot during the operation. If it's not completed

within the three to five hours, Miss Xia may have very serious sequelae."

Brian put on a serious expression after Dr. He explained. Now he could see that they really were pressed for time.

In another operation room, Felix was doing an examination for Becky to get ready for her operation in a while. Becky had no idea what was going on because Rory didn't mention anything about Molly to her earlier. And suddenly there was a donor for her retinas, she urgently asked, "Who's the donor?"

"Miss Molly Xia." Felix didn't know the history between Becky and Molly so he answered her matter-of- factly.

A smile crept up on Becky's face, "Brian agreed to this?"

"Yes," answered Felix, "Miss Yan, I'm going to do some pre-op checkup now."

Becky stopped asking questions. Even though she couldn't see anything right now, she was absolutely elated. Brian really did care about her. And as soon as she got her sight back, she was going to be Molly's living nightmare.

Meanwhile, in the operation room next to Becky's, Dr. He was in a time crunch. He was making sure that Molly was okay while Brian was out looking for a donor. But they only had a few hours and they could only do so much. Brian wasn't in charge of the XK Intelligence Agency any more - he didn't have that much power like before.

"Dr. He, here are Miss Xia's test results," A nurse walked in and handed a folder to Dr. He. The nurse dismally said, "She's pregnant."

Dr. He was so shocked that he was unable to respond. He frantically looked through the folder to confirm - and there it was, bright as day, Molly was indeed pregnant.

"Dr. He, in this case," the nurse frowned too, "Are we going to induce labor?"

Dr. He read through the results again. Before he could answer, Molly spoke up, "No." Molly was already awake when the nurse entered. While she couldn't see anything, she mustered all the energy she had to chime in. Her voice was soft and husky.

In the dead quiet of the room, Molly's feeble voice seemed strong and full. Dr. He and the nurse turned to look at her. Molly squinted back at them.

Molly kept her stand despite not being able to see anything clearly. The nerves in her eyes had been damaged so bad that all she could see now was red. She could only vaguely make out the figures in the room.

Dr. He walked towards her, sighing as he looked at her pallid face worrying about what was going to happen to her. "You're going into surgery now," he said softly. "Even if you keep the baby, he may suffer from the sequelae because the medicine has side effects. So I suggest that we induce labor."
