Love Began with the First Meeting

The selfishness of maternal love was often manifested in all mothers' extravagant wishes to leave all good things to their children, but they often forgot that many things were beyond their control!

Eric's voice came through the phone—his breathing was unstable, short, and deep.

Shirley was stunned at first, and then asked: "What? What did you just say? What's wrong with Mark?"

All the people in the room suddenly turned their attention towards her especially Molly. When she heard something was wrong with Mark, she instantly worried.

From the rear view mirror, Eric looked at Mark, who was lying in a coma in the back seat. As he sped up his car, he replied, "I don't know what's wrong with him yet. Mark was eating at a restaurant with me earlier. He was fine at the beginning but all of a sudden he said he felt bad, and then he passed out before he finished talking. I'm on my way to the hospital right now."

Shirley's face was white as a sheet and her voice was trembling as she hastily spoke, "Okay, you do that, then we'll be there right away." Then she hung up and said in a rush, "Mark passed out for some unknown reason, so Eric's bringing him to the hospital now."

Molly's face turned the same shade as Sheryl's when she heard that. Brian's eyes grew sharp but he remained silent. Brian just walked out of the room with Molly and broke speed limits as they drove their way to the Dragon Empire Group Hospital of A City. They were followed by Richie and Shirley in their own car.

Eric leaned on the outside wall of the emergency room with his arms cross around his chest. With a cold look on his face, he kept staring at the closed door of the emergency room. All the doctors in charge from all the departments of the hospital were gathered inside to examine for Mark. He waited with increasing anxiety as every second passed by.

A moment later, he heard a bunch of footsteps rushing towards him.

Eric turned to Richie, Shirley, Brian, and Molly leading the pack running towards him. He was a bit surprised. When did Brian and Molly come back?

"Eric," Molly gasped and asked, "Where's Mark? How is he?" What happened? Why did he suddenly pass out?"
