Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 380

The place was unfamiliar, she had never been here before. But unlike the last time she got lost, Molly wasn't afraid. She hesitated, her mind was torn between returning back and walking on aimlessly. There was nothing in that place for her, but her mind was holding her back. The image of a man flashed through her mind: Brian. It was only the thought of him that was keeping her from escaping from that place for good. She couldn't just imagine how furious and anxious he would be once he found out that she's not at the hospital. She could even picture his deep, steady eyes darkening with worry. Taking a deep sigh, she turned around and walked back, retracing the steps back to the hospital.

She hadn't walked far when a black Lexus suddenly pulled over beside her. Frowning, she wondered who could it be. She didn't expect to encounter any acquaintance in this unfamiliar place. She hoped it was just a stranger looking for directions because she didn't really want to see anybody in the state she was in. Molly gasped as the car window rolled down to reveal Jenifer's face. The one person she disliked most on this earth, Jenifer. 'What on earth is she doing here at this hour? It can't be a coincidence...' she thought, frowning.

Jenifer was enchanting and full of vitality, but her heart was filled with hate and animosity towards Molly. In her eyes, Molly was a weakling and a complete sham. She could only feel contempt whenever she saw her. Tonight, looking at her haggard face and fluffy eyes, she felt a certain satisfaction in her heart at her obvious suffering. She always thought that it was because of Molly's weakness and air of fragility that made Edgar instinctively protective of her and indulgent to her every whim. It was because of Molly that Edgar had neglected her and ignored her presence as if she didn't exist.

Seeing it was Jenifer in the car, Molly frowned suspiciously. She had neither the interest nor mood to confront her, especially in her present state. She felt drained of energy. Looking at Jenifer just added to her depression and feeling of weariness. She decided to ignore her and continue walking.

"If you don't care about Daniel at all... You can keep going!" Jennifer's mocking voice followed Molly.

Her sly words stopped Molly in her tracks in an instant. Turning around abruptly, she fixed her narrowed gaze on Jenifer who had gone out to stand beside her car. "What do you mean?" Molly asked angrily.

A flash of contempt swept over Jenifer's face. "I meant just exactly what I said, if you don't care about Daniel, just go ahead and keep walking, otherwise get inside the car and go with me!"

Molly glared at Jenifer, trying to read her expression. She looked cool and arrogant, as if she knew she had the upper hand over everything. "What did you do to Daniel?" Molly asked furiously.

"We haven't seen each other for so many years that I almost didn't recognize Daniel. In my mind, he was still the little boy who always trotted behind. I was astonished to see how big he has grown." Jenifer said sarcastically. Turning to Molly, she said, "What do you think we would do after so many years of not seeing each other? Of course, we had a lot to catch up on." Her malicious tone and the evil glint in her eyes sent shiver up her spine. However, Jenifer was feeling excited just by looking at Molly's apprehensive eyes, staring furiously at her. "It's a shame that he didn't recognize me. He didn't want to talk to me, which was really disappointing. I was so angry at that time and I guess I lost my temper a little bit… I just hit him so lightly, but it turned out that he fainted! I didn't know he's such a fragile boy." Jenifer said mockingly.

"Jenifer, how can you be so cruel?" A sudden chill came to Molly. "What exactly did you do to Daniel?" Molly said, her angry voice quivered at the thought of her little brother.

"What did I do to him?" "Come and see for yourself what I did to your precious little brother," Jenifer said, bowing slightly towards the car to signal Molly to get in.

Molly didn't budge. She looked at Jenifer suspiciously. "What makes you think I would fall for your lies?" Molly was trying to call her bluff. She knew that Daniel was safe in Brian's farmland. How did she manage to kidnap Daniel? 'She's bluffing, ' Molly thought to herself.

Aware of Molly's doubts, Jenifer dialed a number in her phone reluctantly. After the phone was answered, she turned the screen towards Molly. The sight of Daniel greeted Molly. He was crouching down in a corner, with his arms and legs tied in chains, his eyes were blindfolded and his mouth was covered with duct tape. There were bruises on his face and he looked as if he was unconscious.

A sudden shiver of rage surged through Molly at the sight of her brother in such a helpless state. "Jenifer, what do you want? Let him go!" she cried, desperately catching Jenifer's shoulders with her hands.

Jenifer brushed her hands aside violently. "Just come with me." Smiling sardonically, Jenifer motioned Molly to get inside the car. She knew that there was no way Molly would refuse. As far as she knew, Molly loved her brother dearly.

Clenching her fists, Molly knew that she had no choice but to go with Jenifer. Without further ado, she climbed into the passenger seat and closed the door violently. Jenifer smirked in satisfaction before putting the car in motion.

They drove around in angry silence. Molly sat stiffly, she was caught between worrying about her brother and cursing Jenifer. She had no idea where she had taken Daniel. Looking out of the window, Molly noticed that they were still in the same vicinity. It seemed that Jenifer was just driving around in circles. Molly looked up at Jenifer suspiciously, "Jenifer, tell me, what exactly are you plotting about?" Jenifer cast a sideways glance at Molly. "How is Brian doing lately?" she asked conversationally.

"Brian? What does he have to do with this?" Molly asked her coldly. Without taking her eyes from the road, Jenifer said, "You want Daniel alive." She threw a ruthless glance at Moly before continuing, "My request is very simple. As long as you bring Brian to the place I will appoint tomorrow, we will set your brother free, otherwise… I cannot promise that you will see him again. You know me. I'm short tempered when I'm crossed. It's all up to you. Save him or not, the choice is in your hands." Jenifer's eyes were brutal as she looked at Molly. For a moment she looked demented and bloodthirsty. "You would never expect what we would do to him if you fail to do what I asked!" she said in a sinister voice.
