Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 219

"I'm sorry but that is how it is, we have been unable to find any useful leads or information." Bill answered positively. Then, he raised his head and looked at Edgar in shock," Mayor, is it possible that you may have made some mistake on that very day?"

Edgar rubbed his chin with one hand as he thought back reflectively. He dropped his head and tried to hide the sparkle in his eyes. "Well, that may be a possibility," he said in a hushed tone. Moments later, he had apparently realized something as he raised his head, and asked," What's going on with Steven?"

Bill shook his head, twitched his lips and answered," Well nothing good. There is no lead even there. He has no significant criminal records, keeping aside occasional stealing and gambling. But, I was told that he had been quite lucky recently, and had ended up earning quite a chuck of money owing to this new-found talent."

"Oh, is that so?" Edgar was surprised upon hearing the revelation. Steven was gambling his money away. Of course, Edgar knew that he was being tricked deliberately by someone who wanted to see him punished. However, if he was making money... Some funny thoughts flashed in his mind instantly. A smile appeared around the corners of his mouth as he reflected. Then, he changed the topic and said," Track the movements and activities of Mr. Brian Long. If he comes back, I should be the first to be informed."

"Yes. I'll notify the ground staff at the airport immediately." Bill raised his eyebrows. "Mayor, I'll leave you alone if you have no other orders and leads to discuss."

Edgar nodded indicating his consent. Soon after Bill left him alone in his chamber, he leaned against the chair and blankly stared into space. He recalled all what had happened recently. He knew something was terribly wrong, he had an intuition but he couldn't figure out what it was.

Things over the past few days were not as simple as they appeared to be. Nevertheless, why did he feel that way? He just could not put a finger on it.

What was the reason behind his uneasy sense of foreboding?

QY Island.

A female doctor, well in her 40s, was examining Molly's throat rather carefully. But Molly remained quiet and calm while Brian watched the doctor conducting the usual medical procedures, with his hands in his trouser pockets. He stood in the room's corner, and his impassive face showed no emotion at all. However, his brown gaze never moved away from Molly.
