Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 384

Brian did not go to the hospital until it was afternoon.

When he arrived, he was in a rush to see Becky.

As he pushed the door of the ward, he saw Becky getting checked-up by Elias. Elias simply took a glance at Brian but neither said a word to him nor paused the checkup. It was not until he finished that he said in a serious tone, "I'm not too optimistic about Ms. Yan's condition. If we can't find a suitable retina donor to replace hers in the near future, I'm afraid it might be too late even if we successfully finish the surgery."

Upon hearing Elias' word, Brian's mind became blank and an almost invisible frown curled into his lips. He took a slight glance at Becky with his falcon eyes and coldly asked, "How long do you mean by 'near future'?"

Seeing the worried look of Brian, Elias paused for a while and said in reply, "At most, one month. That will put her in a safe place."

Without saying a word, Brian nodded and gave a hint for Elias to head out of the ward first. Grasping the situation, Elias nodded in reply and shrugged as he walked out of the ward. For the past few days, they had found retinas which seemed suitable for Becky. However, after going through them individually last night, Elias ended up disappointed for none perfectly fitted Becky.

As he headed slowly towards Becky, Brian silently sat down beside her. Looking at her calm face, his heart started to be filled with pain. He pulled Becky's hands and slowly caressed them while saying in a low and magnetic voice, "Becky…"

Feeling Brian's worries, Becky quickly interrupted his words and said, "Bri, perhaps it may not be bad to be blind." She struggled to remain calm and placed a smile at the corner of her mouth. "By being blind, at the very least, I could be happy for not being able to see anything I don't want to see, right?" Becky added.

Despite letting out some powerful words, she couldn't hide the fact of the endless sadness she tried so hard to contain. Seeing how Becky saw the situation positively and tried to look happy, Brian felt his heart sank deeper and was filled with indescribable feelings.

"Don't think of anything else, especially nonsense. You got me?" these were the only words he could utter. Brian stretched his hands and held Becky into his arms. He thought he loved her so much that he felt nothing but guilt for her. "I will find the suitable retinas for you by all means!" he said impatiently.

"So what?" Becky replied while trying to be strong. Without letting out a sigh, Becky continued, "Even if I can see the whole world, will it make any sense if what I want to see the most is not visible in the whole world?" Her words sounded deep.

After hearing these words, Brian took a slight frown and pulled Becky tighter to his body.

It was silent once again. He couldn't seem to find the right words to say in reply.

Despite trying to be strong, the uneasiness and anger in Becky's heart could no longer be concealed. She gritted her teeth and said slowly, "Bri, yesterday, I overheard the conversation between Wing and Eric. I think, I should leave this place and never come back again." She sneered to herself. "In fact, I shouldn't have come back. If I didn't, at the very least, I would remain perfect in your heart. But now, just look at my situation now," Becky added in a hurting tone.

Becky sneered with self-mockery one more time. She placed her hands against Brian's chest and slightly pushed him away. Brian frowned upon seeing her eyes slowly being filled with tears and the sad smile that lingered in the corner of her mouth.

"Forget it. Never mind what I just said," she said while stopping her tears from flowing. "I don't want to be disappointed again. Maybe this is God's plan for me. Maybe this is His way of being kind to me so that I can live in the past, a dream weaved by myself," she further added as if to comfort herself. With a shaking voice, Becky couldn't do anything else but comfort herself from the endless grief she was feeling. "I have already told Daddy. He will come and pick me up tomorrow to bring me back home. I don't want to stay here any longer and hamper your life. Even though I'm sad, even though I am in pain, just leave me alone. You don't have to pay attention to me anymore," Becky said as if she is about to cry again.

Looking at Becky, with his thin lips closed, Brian suddenly burst into a laugh. His deep eyes were filled with anger. He asked, "Well, Becky, are you forcing me?"

After hearing that, she was puzzled by his reaction and the smile of self-mockery on her moth became heavier. Becky paused for a while. "Bri, I deserve all this, right?" Becky asked. "When you wanted me, I didn't cherish your feelings and wandered between you and Eric. But now that my feelings for you are clear, you no longer want me and have already given me up," she continued explaining the reason for her words. "I am suffering all these because of what I have done to you, right? Then what do you expect me to do if I stay here?" Becky's words started to reflect her real emotions. After taking a pause, she continued, "Should I live in darkness and witness your change of heart?" Becky's voice cracked as she explained how she felt. Her mind was filled with scenarios that made her heart grew more weary by the thought of Brian leaving her.
