Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 325

Brian picked Becky up, so Molly could see the piece of glass in her calf. And now her fright was more than mere terror, it froze her soul. She scraped a fingernail across another finger repeatedly in fear, and her first reaction was to look at Brian. The voice in her head was a constant refrain: 'I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to.'

Brian stared Molly with stone cold eyes without a word. The look in his eyes was like ice, cold and sharp like a knife. His gaze made Molly step back, frightened. She nearly tripped and fell to the ground. She just shook her head non-stop and bit down on her lip harshly. Brian's cold gaze pierced deep into her heart like an arrow. She felt heartbroken all of a sudden. She could almost hear the sound of her heart breaking.

"What's wrong with you? Call the doctor!" Brian just instructed acidly, then walked upstairs with Becky in his arms, who was still whimpering in pain.

Molly's eyelids fluttered. She could not even think straight anymore. She felt a lump form in her throat as she whispered in her head again and again, 'I didn't mean to... It was an accident...'

Lisa looked at Molly and sighed under her breath. Then she hurriedly went to call the doctor. After she hung up, she cleaned the juice and pieces of glass on the floor. A whisk broom and dustpan took care of the glass, and a mop got all the juice. After all that, she then asked Molly, who seemed a bit calmer now,"Molly, are you okay?"

Molly stood there, very still, like a statue. She replayed the scene in her head, Brian's glacial gaze, carrying Becky in his arms and retreating from sight. She could see it in Brian's eyes -- he didn't believe it was an accident. Drawing a deep breath, Molly held back her tears and shook her head.

A voice sounded from the doorway. A breeze blew in through the open door, bringing a faint smell of flowers. "Where is Miss Yan?"

Lisa turned and looked at Yoyo, holding a bunch of lilies in her hand. "Miss Yan got hurt accidentally. She's upstairs with Mr. Long," Lisa replied.

Yoyo's face took on a worried cast after hearing this. She looked down at the bunch of flowers in her hand. Though it was Becky who asked her to leave in the first place, Becky got hurt... That meant that Yoyo didn't do her job and keep her safe. She was consumed with guilt.

Molly stood there silently the whole time. She looked at the bunch of flowers in Yoyo's hand. She knew that they were from the greenhouse in the villa because she had been there with John. There was only one kind of flower in that greenhouse, and it was the lily. Lucy mentioned that it was Becky's favorite flower. Kinda cheating if you asked Molly, but she probably didn't want to be too far away from her charge.

There was a bitter smile on Molly's lips. She slowly turned and walked back to the kitchen. She should have known that she meant nothing to Brian. She should have known that she was nothing. Becky, on the other hand, was the real princess here. She was a princess before. And she would always be a princess.

So did it matter if they thought she did it deliberately or not? No, it didn't matter. She was guilty in their eyes, and no amount of complaining or explaining would fix that.

Besides, she couldn't deny that she had thought that one day she'd come out on top and Becky would end up as miserable as she was today. She was no angel.

Becky was blind, while she was mute. Yeah. They really were a pair made in hell, weren't they? It was so ironic.

She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. They pooled in her eyes and streamed down her face as she stood by the counter. She picked up the food on it and started to prepare lunch, crying the whole time. The cutting board was stained with tears. The teardrops lay next to the vegetables she cut. When she heard footsteps heading her direction, she hurriedly turned away to wipe her tears.The knife slipped, though, and sliced her finger.

"Molly!" Lisa hurriedly walked over to her. Her face was serious when she looked at Molly's bleeding finger. "Wait here, I'll get the first aid kit."

Molly was still holding the knife in her hand. But she was still in shock from the incident with the juice glass, and didn't even notice she was bleeding. She just froze, standing there watching Lisa go, and then come back, first aid kit in hand. Lisa then cleaned the wound on her finger and wrapped it up.

"If you need to, just go lay down. The day's been hard on everyone." Lisa looked at Molly with sadness and care in her eyes. She really felt sorry for Molly about what had happened. "I know it wasn't really your fault. It was just an accident."

Molly looked at Lisa, and the tears that had stopped started streaming down her face again. She walked up and held Lisa tightly, like a daughter seeking for comfort from her mother. She buried her head in the crook of Lisa's neck and cried her heart out. As much she tried to stop, the sadness would rise again. Lisa's body shook from the force of Molly's sobbing.

Lisa wanted to cry too, seeing Molly like this. She gently patted Molly's back and sighed deeply. "Some things are meant to happen, you know. And when they do, all you can do is be strong. I believe that a girl as good and kind as you will definitely find happiness someday."

Lisa whispered the soft words into Molly's ear, making her cry even louder. She hadn't felt a mother's love for over twenty years. She hadn't even realized what she was missing. Ironically, she felt it now from Lisa, whom she'd only known for a little over a month. And to her surprise, Lisa trusted her. And it was enough for Molly to want to cry her eyes out in front of the woman. She really needed to let it all out.

Molly didn't know how long she'd been crying on Lisa's shoulder. The moment she saw Brian walk in, she hurriedly threw off Lisa's arms and stood stock still, terror in her eyes. She wiped her tears on her sleeve in haste. She didn't want Brian to see her so vulnerable like this.

It was clear that Lisa didn't imagine Brian would be here, either. But she was much calmer than Molly. "Mr. Long, do you need anything?"

Brian's eyebrows slightly furrowed when he glanced at Molly. Then he said to Lisa in a deadpan tone,"The doctor said that Becky shouldn't eat harsh or spicy foods for a few days. So make sure to prepare some light meals for her."

"Of course," Lisa answered.

Brian squinted his eyes, looking at the tear stains on Molly's face. Then he ordered in a cold tone,"As for you, get out!"
