Love Began with the First Meeting

Ever since the beginning, everything he had done was just a smokescreen to cover his true goal. What he really wanted was to unveil the truth of what had happened years ago to the military court. Only by doing this could he get out of Major General Zeng's control, and this was the only way he could continue his pursuit for Molly.

Things remained unusually calm during the next few days. It looked like everything was under control. But only those who were deep into this matter knew that it was, in fact, not as calm as it seemed on the outside. They were all still struggling.

Molly had stayed inside the villa for the past few days. The other day, Brian had promised her that he would come back and have dinner with her. But he never came. In fact, it had been a few days since Molly had last seen him. He seemed very busy. He had come back very late one evening after Molly was already asleep and by the time she woke up the next day, he was already gone. Molly didn't even get a glimpse of him. But still, every night when she was asleep, she could always feel Brian's gentle kiss on her lips. The kisses were as light as a feather.

But when she opened her eyes, she was always alone. The room was quiet and dark, and there would be no one beside her.

Molly sat on the fluffy rug by the big window with a gloomy look on her face. She enjoyed the dim sunlight shining down on her, but she couldn't stop worrying about Brian. She didn't know how things would develop through the next few days, but she had a vague idea. After all, she grew up in the military neighborhood. So she knew clearly how shady things could get when they were related to the military. The more she thought about it, the more she became worried about Brian.

"Miss Xia," Lisa came up to her after speaking on the phone, "the hospital called. They have asked you to go back for a check-up."

Molly looked at Lisa with blank eyes, "A check-up?"

"Yeah, a check-up. They told me that Mr. Brian Long asked for it. It's about your eyes," said Lisa as she looked at Molly's eyes. Her eyes were better than before, but they were still redder than usual. Lisa thought that a check-up would be good for her too.

Molly furrowed her eyebrows. Ever since she had that conversation with Becky, she had become uncomfortable about having her eyes checked. She didn't want to have a check-up at all, "I... I don't want to go."

Lisa smiled. She thought that Molly was afraid of going to the hospital. She then said in a gentle and caring tone, "Silly girl, you have to see a doctor if you aren't feeling well. Look at your eyes! They are still very red

listening to Miss Long, she was confident about Brian's feelings for Molly. She knew that Mr. Brian Long was more or less in love with the self-conscious girl in front of her. Though Mr. Brian Long seemed very cold and distant,
