Love Began with the First Meeting

"No," Brian said, quickly regaining his calmness. The door closed shut and Molly was out of his sight. His falcon-like eyes squinted slightly, which were deep and gloomy as an ancient well. "It won't make any sense to go on investigating," he added. His opponent was a clever one, being able to pull off a stunt without leaving any evidence - thus, many preparations must be done in advance. Not many people could manage such a feat in a critical moment, or erase all doubts in a short amount of time. He knew Becky wasn't capable of doing that. He had to believe her even if he didn't want to.

The room became tense and filled with distress. Meanwhile, outside the suite Molly could hardly support her body. She had to brace her arms and hands against the wall to prevent herself from falling. She still had a way to go to reach Mark's hospital room.

When she stopped in her tracks to temporarily rest her frail and weak body, she heard what Brian's emotionally distant voice said. Her eyes instantly welled with tears and she truly felt miserable. She braced her arms against the wall again and continued to Mark's room. She couldn't believe it.

arms. Shirley had seen this and quietly walked in their direction and asked Brian questions that she had been thinking about. He hadn't bothered answering any of them. Later, Eric had joined them too. Fury had been written all over his face but he hadn't said anything. Molly had been silent as well, so Shirley had no idea what had happened that day. She had tried investigating on her own to get to the bottom of things, but Richie did not

Meanwhile inside the operating room, the surgery proceeded intensely but in an orderly manner.
