Love Began with the First Meeting

*

At the hospital.

Harrow had no idea that Brian was coming for a visit. He looked at Spark who had just woken up, and then at Brian. Awkwardly he said, "Mr. Brian Long..."

Brian threw a glare at him, and Harrow shut up tacitly. Brian turned to Spark who looked weak, but angry. Harrow sighed, then said, "I'll go buy some fruits and water."

Then he quickly left the room.

Tony was waiting outside, and Harrow walked over to him. He glanced at the ward once, then probed, "What's Mr. Brian Long doing here?"

"No idea," Tony's answer was curt. Seeing Harrow's brows knitted in worry, he coldly added, "Spark and Miss. Mol...Mrs. Long are just strangers now. As long as he stays away from her, Mr. Brian Long will do nothing to him."

"Mr. Brian Long and Molly...

They are getting married."

Tony was startled, his mouth opened wide.

"Mr. Brian Long said that it's for Mark." "I think it's to bind Molly to him," Tony scoffed.

Harrow looked at Tony's discontented look, sighed, then sat on the chair outside. Slowly Harrow said, "It's for the best. Molly should be with Brian. Another man is not an option for her anymore. They should all let her go now."

Tony scoffed again.

Harrow knew that Tony was biased against Molly. After all, Mr. Brian Long had gotten himself injured thrice for her, and Tony cared and worshiped Brian too much to let him get injured or debase himself. Brian was a god-like figure to him.
