Love Began with the First Meeting

Brian stopped and turned around. He looked at Tony, "Make two fake IDs for Steven and Daniel to get them out of the country. I don't want Mol to see them anymore."

Tony looked at his boss' back with a surprised look on his face.

'What's Mr. Brian Long doing? What are his intentions? Is he flushing out all the people who might end up hurting Molly?'

Tony frowned. A horrible feeling swelled inside him like a venomous bubble.

Brian didn't return to the hospital. Instead, he went to the farm at Sunset Town. It had only been a few days since the last time he had seen Steven. But now he looked withdrawn and sorrowful as he sat in front of the mortuary refrigerator which had Sharon's body. His hair was matted. He looked gaunt with his thick beard. Life had broken him and he had grown old overnight.

Steven turned around when he heard somebody come in. When he saw Brian, he stood up instantly and stared fiercely into his eyes.

Brian felt disgusted after looking at him. But his face remained cold. He did feel grateful that Steven had been using him to protect Molly. After all, he only realized that he loved Molly because they had been through all of this fiasco. But he couldn't forgive him for hurting Mol so much.

"Mr. Brian Long," Steven said in a dry and hoarse voice, "Could you allow Molly and Daniel to come see Sharon?"

"Mol doesn't know that Sharon is dead," Brian said coldly, "And I don't want her to know it."

"Why?"

Brian sneered and said, "Although Sharon had never treated her like a daughter, Mol still loves her and wants her affection. If she finds out that Sharon is dead, do you think she will be able to accept it easily?"

"But this would be her last chance to say goodbye to her mom!" Steven clenched his fists, "She'll regret it for the rest of her life if she doesn't see her mother one last time."

Brian sneered, "I'll make up for all her regrets. And I've also
