Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 222

Reaching out his hand, Brian held the back of her nape, pulled her closer and kissed gently on her forehead. He then said in a deep and charming voice,"Listen. I won't sit and watch helplessly while you lose your ability to talk. I'll stop at nothing to ensure you're recovery to perfect health!"

As she felt his warm breath, and the firm assuring words, Molly was touched at heart. In an instant, the hesitation in her clear eyes gave way to a glow, so full of surprise, joy, and hopeful expectation. Obviously her heart was deeply moved.

'No! No! Molly, calm down. They're all fake impressions!' her inner voice cautioned.

For the moment, Molly was short of breath. She tightly clenched her fist, trying to calm herself down. He had only shown a little bit of affection, yet she could not refrain his attraction. He had just said some overbearing words, and she was moved, even though she knew that he had done it only for his ego.

Gently, he rubbed Molly's hair and cooed,"Go to bed now. I still have something to deal with."

Molly still gazed at Brian blankly. It seemed as if she hadn't heard his words at all.

Seeing her behaving like that, Brian wore a strange smile on his lips and asked slowly,"What's the matter? You don't want to sleep alone? Do you want me to accompany..."

Before Brian could finish his words, Molly suddenly came back to earth. She quickly said good night and was about to go back to her bedroom, but a harsh sharp pain came from her throat right after she finished the two words. When she turned around, her face twitched out of pain.

Bang! The door was closed in a hurry. Brian smiled softly seeing the door slam in front of him. A pleasant happiness slowly spread over his heart.

After taking another glance at the door, he turned and went to his study. As soon as he entered into the study, he opened the video device and connected Vincent directly.

"How are you doing, Mr. Brian Long?" Vincent's icy cold expression had never changed.

"Have you found it?" When Brian asked this question, a nervous look flashed across his eyes which was not easy to tell.

Flatly, Vincent replied,"Not yet. The poison that was used on Molly is the signature of certain gangs, and rarely do their victims ever regain use of their vocal chords."

Twitching his eyebrows, Brian said,"I'm more interested in finding a doctor who can help her regain her speech. That's the news I'd appreciate most from you!"

With a nod Vincent replied. From the beginning to the end of their conversation, he wore his trademark poker face; you'd think he was suffering from facial nerve paralysis.

"By the way, what about the other issue I asked you to investigate?"

"There are high-level officials of State Parliament that got involved in Steven's case. I'm afraid that it's not that easy to deal with!" Sounding rather calm, Vincent continued,"The most important thing is that XK Intelligence Agency seldom gets involved in matters that involve the State Parliaments!"

Surprised, Brian raised his eyebrows with grave concern. "Do you mean that there's no need for me to do further investigation on it?" he asked tersely.
