Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 62 His Bloody Revenge (Part Two)

"Remember to take the medicine after your meal, " said Lisa. She put the pills in a small box and said, "If you want to visit your mother, just tell John. He will drive you there."

Hearing Lisa's words, Molly's eyes instantly brightened up. She looked at Lisa in surprise and asked, "Really? Can I?"

Lisa smiled and nodded. Molly paused and asked, "Then... won't he get angry?"

Lisa burst into laughter and said, "This is exactly what Mr. Long told me."

Molly found that it was really difficult to understand Brian's attitude towards her. Sometimes, he treated her so well that it almost made her fall for his sweetness; but sometimes, he was a horrible demon who would destroy her entirely. Whenever she was with him, Molly felt like she was between paradise and hell.

Molly was eager to visit her mother and as soon as she finished her meal, she asked John to drive her to the hospital. "Here we are, Miss Xia, " John steadily stopped the car and said with a smile. "I'll wait for you in the parking lot."

Before she got out, Molly threw a glance at the tall building through her window. There was a golden Dragon Empire Group logo which looked luxurious and aggressive.

Dragon Empire Group was an international and legendary family empire company, specializing in various scopes. However, most of the girls took delight in thinking about its legendary CEO, who was said to have given up the opportunity of oil exploration on the Sun Island, in exchange for his wife's safety. He was also rumoured to have given up his wealth and status, so his wife could live a common, happy, and peaceful life. They travelled the world now, leaving traces of their romance in every corner of the globe.

Many girls admired the woman who had that man's true love. How they hoped that they could own such a man's love, even if just for a short moment!

However, everyone had his or her own fate. Luck didn't knock on everyone's door, and it was pointless to admire someone else. Molly herself understood that a humble, common girl like her could never get such good luck. She was a mere speck of dust in the universe.

She thanked John and got out of the car. When she walked to the entrance of the in-patient building, she stood there and scanned the surroundings. The strong disinfectant in the air made it smell like any other hospital, but for some unknown reason, Molly felt right at home.

How ridiculous! She felt at home in a hospital.

A gust of cold wind blew and Molly shivered. She came back to her senses and walked into the building. After she had inquired about the position of her mother's ward at the reception desk, she went straight to Nephrology on the 7th floor.

Inside the elevator, she again noticed the logo on the door and thought about the legendary CEO...

Brian Long and Eric Long probably had a close relationship with the former CEO of the Dragon Empire Group.

Having confirmed that it was the 7th floor, Molly walked out and, with the help of a guide, uneasily reached Sharon Xia's ward.

Standing in front of the door of the ward, she saw through the window that her father was sitting inside on the sofa and her mother was leaning against the headrest. Their faces were stern, as if they were arguing about something serious.

With a deep breath, Molly walked inside.

Her footsteps drew the attention of her parents. Her dad's eyes held shock, while her mother was looking at her through a veil of complex emotions, mixed with anger and sadness.

"Molly, why...why are you here?" Steven Xia said as he blinked his eyes, as if signalling something to Molly.

Molly looked at Steven and shifted her eyes to Sharon, and said, "I'm worried about mom, so I came here to visit her."

The fury in Sharon's eyes got stronger and stronger as Molly slowly came closer. She stared at Molly and asked in a trembling voice, "Molly, tell me now. How come I can stay in this hospital? How did you get the money to pay for it? How did you make such a wealthy friend?"

This was a private Dragon Empire Group hospital. It wasn't open to common people. Sharon knew it well, so she couldn't believe she could stay here.

Molly managed to force out a slight smile and pretended to say in a relaxed voice, "Mom, I work in the casino and I know some rich bosses. Yesterday you suddenly fainted and Daniel called me at the casino. I was crying after that, and a big boss happened to see me crying. He asked about my difficulty and sympathized with me, so..."

Slap!

A slap across Molly's face stopped her from making up the story, as she felt a searing pain. The room went silent. Molly froze completely. Her mouth was still open as her words had been cut off suddenly.

"Sharon, what are you doing?" Steven roared. He was shocked to see that Sharon had slapped Molly's face.

Sharon didn't answer his question but kept staring at Molly. She gritted her teeth and furiously asked, "Molly, be honest! Tell me the truth!"

Molly felt heartbroken. She fluttered her eyelashes as distress built up inside her. Her nose twitched and her eyes were immediately flooded with tears, which could have fallen down any moment.

She made no response. The tension around them increased. Steven wasn't aware of the whole situation but partly, he understood her awkward situation. Her distressed look made him feel more guilty.

Her silence seemed to make Sharon even angrier. Her chest heaved violently as her breathing became deeper. She asked with all her strength, "Molly... you...have you..."

Sharon lost her words. It took her a long while to find her voice again. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Have you done something you shouldn't have?"

Molly managed to hold her tears back. She slowly turned her face to look at her mother. She didn't know how to explain everything clearly.

Slap! Another hand fell on her face, followed by Sharon's trembling and furious voice, "Shameless!" Sharon's anger erupted. She continued, "You don't need to have yourself humiliated in order to save me. I would rather die! Don't you remember the past event? Don't you remember why we moved away so many years ago? Don't you understand what I've been going through because of that? Have you no shame?"

Finally, the tears overflowed Molly's eyes. She didn't move but just let them pour down her cheeks, to her lips. The bitterness soon spread in her mouth, mixed with her sorrow.

She now realized that there was something even more painful than what Brian had done to her the previous night. It was the pain she felt when her own family blamed her for something.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

What had she done wrong?

She had done everything she could to pay for her father's loans, her mother's medical expenses, and her brother's tuition fees. What on earth had she done wrong?
