Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1377

Edgar was anxious at first but quickly recovered his composure. "Don't say that. It's no use." He paused for a moment and then asked, "What are his intentions? There's nothing I can do about it from here."

Tompson rolled his eyes. It was annoying for him to deal with Edgar. He had thought that he would use Maggie as a way to persuade Edgar, but Edgar didn't take the bait. Wearily, Tompson nodded and said, "Uncle William had no other choice. The seniors would have been willing to release you, but if Cain did something, it would have been hard to prove then." It was almost impossible for Edgar to escape at that time, no matter how smart he was. If Edgar died, what else would matter?

Edgar had suddenly become so calm that it was impossible to guess what he was thinking, which made Tompson even more anxious. Looking at Edgar's still face was like staring into a deep well, frozen over in winter. However, Edgar had to be careful in his considerations. If he escaped from here now, Tompson would be implicated, as well as Maggie's father. He wouldn't do something right now, but he had to think it over and come up with a detailed plan.

The atmosphere here was oppressive, while the Eagle was filled with gloom. On the surface, everyone participated fully in the training, but they were all worried about Edgar. They didn't believe that he would have killed Henry because of corruption. It just wasn't in Captain Edgar's character!

"Daniel," Cathy said. "Why not ask Brian for help?"

Daniel had thought of it previously, but they didn't know the full situation. News was scarce and he had received no information. He was not sure whether Brian would do him a favor, so he said, "Let's wait another couple of days."

Hearing his words, Cathy was so angry that she stamped her foot. "You have spent a long time with the Captain Edgar, and now you are exactly like him. You don't want to call your brother-in-law. Fine, I'll call him! Uh!" As she spoke, she glared at Daniel and then turned to leave in a huff.

"Alas!" Daniel reached out to take Cathy's hand in his, but he failed and she walked away. "Cathy..."

Cathy ignored Daniel's plea. She returned to the dormitory and called Brian. When the call went through, her eyes became misty and she started to cry out of anxiety or even fear. Edgar was like her family, and she was desperately worried for him.

Brian stopped what he was doing, frowned and asked in a light voice, "What's up? What's wrong with you?"

People could be strong and determined in the face of difficulties, but they could not stand any more when the person they loved cared about themselves. Tears were gushing out of Cathy's reddened eyes. She couldn't stop wailing.

Brian was patient and just listened to Cathy crying. Then he leaned back in his chair and pinched the skin between his eyes to relax himself.

Cathy cried for two or three minutes, then sniffed and managed to calm down slightly before she said with hesitation, "Brother."

There was a faint smile at the corners of Brian's mouth. Cathy had always called him Brian since she had gotten married to Daniel. She wouldn't call him "Brother" unless she wanted to ask him for help.

"What's the matter? Just spit it out," Brian asked as he opened his eyes, which were filled with love. He was eternally grateful to Cathy. If she hadn't helped, Molly's eyes wouldn't have been cured.

Cathy sniffed once again and told him what had happened to Edgar. Then she said angrily, "Even if Captain Edgar wants to kill someone, he won't use his own gun. Then he might as well announce to the whole world that he's the killer, and he's not that stupid!"

Brian frowned slightly and responded, "But, it's none of your business."

Cathy stood in front of the window, looking out at Daniel, who was dressed in the training gear, and she muttered, "But, I can't do nothing! I can't just watch this get worse. Daniel said that someone had set the trap for Captain Edgar. If so, it won't be ended simply."

His gaze sharpened, but Brian kept a calm expression. "I'll go see what I can find out. You and Daniel shouldn't do anything else. It's not good for Edgar if more people get involved." This was one reason. The other one was his identity. As a member of the Long Family from the Dragon Island, it would become even more complicated if he got involved. There was an issue of sovereignty.

Cathy wasn't the type of person who liked to make a mountain out of a molehill. She was just so angry now. Hearing Brian's words, she sighed and answered, "Okay, I understand. I'm just anxious."

"Hum, I'll go sniff out the truth. Don't worry. And don't let Mol find out about it now."

"Thanks, I know. Goodbye," Cathy said still feeling despondent.

She hung up the phone and saw that Daniel was still there. Cathy pursed her lips and went toward him. She bit her lip and said, "I was too anxious just now. Please, don't be angry."

Daniel smiled and said, "I'm not angry. Did Brian persuade you?"

Cathy nodded, "I know you're afraid that it will place Brian in a dilemma." She blinked. "I'm sorry."
