Love Began with the First Meeting

Becky looked miserable. She turned the other way and a bitter smile appeared on her face. "But you've found the right person with corneas that will fit mine, right?" she asked, slowly as if she was choosing her words carefully.

Brian scowled as he stayed silent, waiting for what else Becky was going to say.

"The person is Molly Xia, right? That's her name?" She curled her lips starting to get sarcastic. "It turns out she is my sister. My dad just told me about it today. How ironic. I thought this happened on TV."

Brian knitted his eyebrows, trying to put the pieces together. 'Molly is Justin's daughter, not Rory's, so that makes her Becky's cousin. But Rory and Justin are twins, so they have the same DNA. So it would make sense that Molly's corneas would match Becky's, ' he concluded in his mind.

"If I have to choose between being with you and getting to see again, I'd rather be blind all my life." Tears streamed down Becky's cheeks as she pleaded, "Brian, you won't leave me, right?"

Brian gazed at her tear-stained face and kept silent for a while before speaking, "The snow's getting worse. Let's go back inside." He took her cold hand in his in an attempt to lead her back inside.

But Becky remained still. She asked him again, raising her voice, "Are you going to leave me? And you won't let me have Molly's corneas, right? Why do you like her? Why are you choosing her over me?"

Becky's voice was getting louder and louder, soon she burst into laughter that later turned into tears - she was mocking herself for losing in this love triangle.

Brian continued to gaze at her for a while before he let her go and said firmly, "Since I did promise you, I'll keep my word and you'll be able to see again."

Then he quickly turned around and headed for the stairs. He knew what Becky was trying to do — she was trying to get him to leave Molly while making sure that she could still get her corneas. But Brian understood Becky, and he wasn't mad at her because he felt guilty. He was right to feel guilty because Becky was right — he was choosing Molly over her. And the only thing he could do was to at least help her get her eyesight back.

Brian continued going down the stairs, his face unreadable. He looked very calm but deep inside, his emotions were a roller coaster. He had already decided and he was sure of it: it was Molly he wanted to be with.
