John rushed right away to rescue Brian and Molly as soon as he received Brian's call. He was horrified at Brian's injury. Never had he seen Brian get hurt. Not once. Brian wasn't one to be defeated and he certainly wasn't one to be hurt by anyone.
John scowled at Molly because he deemed it to be her fault. He drove them both back to the villa and asked Brian,"Should I call a doctor for you, Mr. Brian?"
Molly nodded vigorously before Brian could respond. She looked at Brian as if to ask if it was too late for medical care for Brian's injury.
To her surprise, Brian snickered at her reaction. She looked at him with questioning eyes. Why would he be laughing now?
Was he making fun of her? The upset Molly. She glared at him and turned to John and pointed at Brian's wound.
John turned to Brian for confirmation. After he saw Brian nod, he left to call for a doctor.
For Brian, it was just a minor wound which he could have dealt with himself. If he had wished, he could have asked John to send him to the hospital on their way back home, instead of coming straight to the villa... Brian could have treated himself - it wasn't a serious injury. He didn't want to go to the hospital, he just wanted to stay at the villa.
Brian was relaxed at the sofa. He didn't even dress his wound. His face was so calm you wouldn't have expected to see a wound on him. He watched as Molly ran back and forth around the house searching for the first aid kit. He kept staring at her until she finally headed towards him with the kit in hand.
"You know how to treat a gun wound?"
