Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 71 The Gamble (Part One)

"My email?" Becky asked with a frown, her dim eyes narrowed in confusion.

"Yes," Cindy replied shortly. Cindy then took her laptop from the desk at the side. After she turned it on, she quickly typed on the keyboard and entered the email address and password as Becky had told her.

There was a new email from an anonymous address in the inbox. Cindy clicked on it and checked its content curiously. While looking at it, Cindy's face looked puzzled at first and then gradually, her expression froze after she saw clearly what was on the screen. She quickly skimmed through the whole email with astonishment written all over her face. Then, she scrolled back up and read it all over again to double check, as if she was afraid that she had misunderstood what she had just read.

Becky felt that the atmosphere in the room suddenly got tense despite the silence. So, she turned her eyes to look at the screen, only to see blurred lines of texts and the dim outlines of some pictures. "Cindy, what's it about? Who sent it to me?" Becky asked doubtfully. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Cindy, still overwhelmed by the content of the email, furrowed her eyebrows, and the disdain in her eyes gradually spread all over her face. She couldn't help but shout,"How dare he do such a thing!"

"What happened?" Becky asked worriedly.

Cindy snapped the laptop shut. With a furious flame burning in her eyes, she ground her teeth and said angrily,"Becky, we have to go back to A City right now!"

Becky frowned and glanced at the laptop curiously, then asked,"What on earth happened, Cindy?"

Cindy nearly hit the ceiling, yet she kept silent and didn't utter a word. She couldn't figure out how to tell Becky that Brian had brought a woman to his villa and had been living with her ever since!

Becky waited for Cindy's answer for a while. Then she pressed her lips and said,"Cindy, I don't want to go back!"

"Why? Don't you want to have your eyes treated?" Cindy shouted furiously and then added,"Even though you don't care about your eyes, don't you care about Brian? Don't you care that he doesn't love you anymore and has another woman?"

"Of course, I do!"

Becky replied immediately to Cindy's chain of questions, denying strongly that she didn't care about Brian at all. Based on it, she had guessed out the truth why Cindy was furious all of a sudden. She bit her lip and asked,"What did you find out from the email? Who sent it? Did Brian... Did he... he..."

Becky stammered and failed to finish her words. Her blurred eyes were wide open and closely staring at Cindy.

"Brian has kept another woman with him!" Cindy said angrily. "You've just been gone for half a month, and he has found another woman so quickly! Didn't you say that he hadn't brought any other woman into his house except you? Yet that woman has lived there not just for one or two days, but for more than a week already!"

Becky listened to Cindy's words and her mouth slightly opened in shock, her dim eyes darkening further. She froze for a while before she shook her head heavily and said,"No, it's impossible!"

Brian was a man of prominent status and exquisite background. Becky knew he had a kingdom of lust of his own since he was young, and that he never lacked women. However, those women were merely his playthings, he had always treated them nothing special and disposed them right away.

Becky was the only woman different for him, and she had been special to him since the day they first met. He had always made his love known to her since they were young. She remembered that one summer afternoon, Brian had brought her to the Central Square of the Dragon Island and had declared to her firmly,"Becky, this is where Richie and Shirley got married. And, this is where we'll also get married, one day!"

As the old memory flashed through her mind, tears welled down on her cheeks, and she felt a certain pain in her heart. With her poor eyesight getting even worse because of the tears, she shouted out while crying,"No, Brian won't love somebody else! HE WON'T!"

She almost roared out the last two words; and after that, she immediately headed out towards the door regardless of her blurry vision. "Watch out!" Cindy shouted at her alarmingly but it was too late for Becky had already knocked into a glass vase beside the door. It was followed by the sounds of glass breaking into pieces and Becky falling down onto the floor.

"Ouch!"

Becky felt a sharp pain coming from her hand, and her blurry vision was suddenly stained with the red color.

"Becky!" Cindy screamed in a terrified voice and immediately rushed towards Becky. She quickly held Becky up and helped her sit on the bed, and then she pressed the call-for-assistance button beside it. A mix of anger and distress was written all over her face as she stared at Becky. She then took her bleeding hand which was cut by the glass, before asking with watery eyes,"What the hell were you doing? Don't you care a bit about yourself?"

Becky bit her lips tightly, and her whole face twisted in agony. With teary eyes and tightened lips, she asked in a low voice,"Cindy, did he... Did he give up on me?"

"No. He has always loved you, and he had never treated any woman the way he treated you. You know, he never cared when Eric contended other things with him, but he had never made a deal at the mention of you! He had always fought for you even with Eric." Cindy hastily consoled her, but she quickly stepped aside when she saw the doctor and the nurses coming into the room to attend to Becky.

Becky stayed still and waited quietly until the doctor bandaged her wound. When she saw the blurred color on her hand change from red to white, she pressed her lips more tightly together.

The doctor didn't know why this beautiful lady from East Asia had cried so hard and looked so devastated that she seemed to have injured herself. Becky looked really pitiful in her condition, but the doctor made no mention of it. After wrapping up her wound, he routinely explained the matters that she needed to avoid, and then left the room.

Becky didn't even utter a word during the whole process. She just dropped her gaze on her hand covered with white bandages.

Cindy sat beside her and stared at her with distressed eyes, and then she hugged her tightly and sniffled, saying,"Becky, I won't force you to go back. I know you're feeling terrible."
