Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 230 The Mist (Part One)

All the defenses Brian had built up in his heart seemed to have vanished at that moment.

Molly blinked her eyes, slightly curled her lips, and immediately got out of bed to look for the medical kit in the cabinet. Due to frequent injuries which happened before, the medical kit was complete with supplies such as hemostatic.

As soon as she found it, Molly rushed to the bedside.

After clumsily cleaning up the blood stains on Brian's hand, Molly then applied the medicine to his wound and bound it up. While she was doing this, he just watched her silently and did not move an inch. Molly was extremely gentle, as if she was afraid of adding any pain to his wound. Every now and then, she would check his facial expression to see if he was in pain. Each time that she saw his face with no expression, she would continue what she was doing.

Brian slightly squinted his eagle eyes and stared at her with his deep and dark eyes. Just a while ago, she was hysterically shouting at him, but now, she was nursing his wound with "deep concern". 'Molly, is your mood changing too fast, or is it just my illusion?' Brian thought to himself. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

After a few minutes, Molly finished dressing Brian's wound. Curling her lips, she put aside the medicine kit and went to the bathroom to wash her hands and the traces of tears in her face. When she went back in, she showed Brian her mobile phone with a text message she already typed without saying a word.

"I'm not very good at dressing wounds. When the doctor arrives, you'd better ask him to bandage it again for you! "

After Brian read the message, his eyes fell on her face with slight indifference. Because of crying, her eyes were still a bit puff and red, while her white face was full of sadness. Seeing Molly that way, Brian's heart flipped abruptly. He wasn't able to help himself and said all of a sudden,"I am investigating

an event which might have something to do with Steven. It might disrupt my investigation if you show up at his place. I also need to leave no traces when I come back this time."

Molly frowned and looked at Brian with a confusing expression. What confused her was not what he just told her, but rather why he would even care to explain it to her just now?

As if reading the confusing expression in Molly's eyes, Brian suddenly had a long face and said to her coldly with some awkwardness,"If you dare mess with my investigation, I will make Daniel suffer!"

Hearing his threatening words, Molly did not feel afraid at all. Instead, she laughed. She knew that despite the words that come out of his mouth, Brian cared about her in his own unique way.

After seeing her laugh, Brian felt more awkward and showed a longer face.

Molly typed another text message in her mobile phone and showed it to him once again. When he read the text, he asked in his usual indifferent tone,"You think I am just kidding? Huh! Molly Xia, if you think it's a joke, how about you try and see what will happen?"

Molly frowned and looked at Brian without blinking with her ruddy eyes and tried to find some emotions from his face to verify if he was really being serious about it. However, she forgot that Brian had extremely deep and complicated thoughts, and if he had the intention to hide his emotions, it would be nearly impossible for her to find out.

Neither of them said a word any more and the air in the room became gradually heavier. But suddenly, there was a knock on the door

and Lisa's voice could be heard from outside. "Mr. Brian Long, the doctor is here!"

After hearing this, Brian took a quick glance at Molly before asking Lisa to send the doctor in. The door was then pushed open, and the doctor came in with heavy breaths.

"Mr. Brian Long!" The doctor saluted respectfully and then his eyes moved towards Brian's hand being wrapped with gauze with some blood stains on it. Though curious, the doctor knew that it was better not to ask any question.

Just then, Brian stood up and said indifferently,"Examine her voice."

As the doctor-in-charge of Pharyngology and Laryngology Department in the private hospital of the Dragon Empire Group, and although incomparable with the top doctors in the world, it was still a piece of cake for him to treat the common illnesses of the Long family. He opened his medicine kit, took out his instruments and began to examine Molly. At first, his facial expression was calm but then it changed gradually to being serious.

After the doctor was done examining her, Molly watched the doctor packed up his instruments. Blinking, she looked at the doctor doubtfully.

Instinctively, the doctor first looked at Brian whose one simple glance, had already given his warning. As one of the regular doctors for the senior leaders of Dragon Empire Group, the traveling islanders of Dragon Island and senior government officers, it was not difficult for him to discern Molly's condition. He then asked Molly,"Have you forced yourself to speak just recently?"

Molly instinctively nodded.

"You have inflamed your vocal cords which caused..."

The doctor explained the condition in a quite professsional way. Molly got totally lost with the following medical terms the doctor has said. All she was able to take in was his message in general, which was that although she could not speak and vibrate her vocal cords at the moment, she would get better after some days.

Molly looked at Brian, standing next to her with one of his hands in the pocket of his pants, as if she was checking the truth from him. However, his angular handsome face showed indifference and his dark eyes were too deep for her to see through. After hearing what the doctor had said, she didn't feel at ease at all. She couldn't just easily believe everything that she had heard.

Without further examination from the doctor, Molly, though in doubt, gently nodded to indicate that she had understood the doctor's words. Afterwards, the doctor gave her several pieces of advice, and then started to pack up his instruments and leave. But before the doctor could even take a step, Molly seemed to have remembered something and hurriedly tugged the doctor's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" asked the doctor doubtfully.

Molly pointed at Brian's wounded hand with her curled lips and indicated her message through her eyes. The doctor followed her direction and immediately understood what she meant and then said,"I'll patch up the bandages!"

"No!"

Brian defensively said in an indifferent voice just before the doctor could even make a move.

Molly frowned and was about to open her mouth to say something but just then, she saw that Brian suddenly furrowed his eyebrows tightly. She then realized that she was not allowed to speak so she typed some words in her mobile phone and showed it to Brian.

"Please allow the doctor to mend the bandage. Otherwise, it might get infected… "

Brian indifferently drew his attention back from the mobile phone and then said nonchalantly,"I know when I need one!"

Seeing how stubborn Brian was, Molly then quickly typed a word in her mobile phone. "No!"
