Chapter 541 Departure From The Past And Longing For The Future (Part Two)

That goes without saying that the first day of school is always the most exciting, especially for Mark. He was a teeny bit nervous and scared knowing that his mom and dad wouldn't be there but of course, eventually, he made new friends - they talked about a lot of things and played new games. He was looking forward to his mom and dad picking him up because he was excited to tell them about his day but to his disappointment, they didn't show up.

Both Brian and Molly's hearts broke at the sound of Mark's upset voice. They knew that they had let Mark down and they knew that Mark would always remember that. "Mark, we're sorry we weren't able to pick you up. We know how important this day was to you. It's just that your mommy's eyes started to hurt again so we went to see the doctor," Brian explained in a light voice, "I'm sure you understand that, right?" he said.

"Mommy's eyes? How is she now?" Mark asked, worried, suddenly forgetting his own disappointment.

Brian turned to look at Molly who was glaring at him. She couldn't believe how easily he was lying to his own son - not a trace of guilt. But Brian ignored her. He lifted his eyebrows and continued, "I'm not sure. The doctor's still checking up on her. Mark, can you stay there until mommy's check up is done? And then we can come pick you up and we can have dinner together. You can think about where you'd like to eat, okay?" he said.

"Okay," Mark said. Mark told Brian to take care of Molly then they both hung up. He was such a mature boy who was already worrying about his mom. He was indeed very sweet and sensible.

"I can't believe you just lied to our son," Molly accused.

"I did not," Brian replied absently. He glanced up at Molly with a blank look on his face then continued driving.

Molly was sulking - she didn't like that Brian lied to Mark. 'You can choose not to tell him but you shouldn't lie to him. It's not right, you're his dad!, ' she grumbled to herself. Her eyes widened in surprise when she noticed that they were already passing through the gate of the Dragon Empire Group Hospital.

Brian couldn't help but be amused at the dazed look on Molly's face - but of course, Brian showed none of this on his face, he maintained his cold exterior. "You're going to see

"Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"

When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.

Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...

en though she had a disability, she was still very positive and hopeful. What a strong and powerful girl she must be. This shed light to Molly's previously gloomy heart, "My name's Molly," she replied, smiling back.

"Molly…" the girl drawled her name in wonder and then, she cried in an amused, exhilarated voice, "Molly, are you here to have your eyes checked too? "

Molly was taken aback. How had she known her reason for coming? But then she realized that this floor was specifically for patients who had eye problems. She smiled and confirmed, "Yes, I just had my eyes checked."

"Are- are your eyes okay now?" she stammered, hesitating. She was afraid that she might trigger Molly with an unpleasant memory and would make her feel bad.

Molly smiled softly at her. She was so touched by this girl and how she was so sensitive. "Yes, they're okay. The doctor said that my eyes are just sore because I haven't been resting well lately so he gave me some eye drops. I think they'll be better soon," she said. She didn't want to upset her so she used a gentle voice. She didn't know why but for some reason, she felt a connection with Cathy as if she had known her forever and that she was a close friend whom she could trust.

"That's good! I'm so happy for you," Cathy said, sighing in relief. And then she smiled again and said, "Molly, I need to go now. I have a check up too. It was nice meeting you, I hope to see you soon and I hope you have a great day," she held out her hand and said goodbye.
