Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 344

Brusquely, Brian asked, "How irritating is the medicine?" He would have to get used to Brian's deep and low voice that added charm to his strongly defined features. The man, Elias thought, was both attractive and dangerous.

The question, asked so abruptly, caught Elias unaware and the doctor had to compose himself before replying. "The degree of irritation has been lowered to only 10 percent."

When it came to his work and knowledge, Elias became arrogant and confident. Fortunately, Brian respected the change in the doctor's attitude believing that only incapable men would remain humble and modest.

"I hate people who brag," Brian said, looking Elias in the eye. The doctor's demeanor softened a little.

"I am not bragging, but I have faith in my work. The test results back up what I said," he explained eagerly.

"All right," Brian acknowledged. Satisfied with Elias' answer, Brian's eagle eyes somehow softened and put on his usual aloof expression. There was a hint of a smile as he anticipated hearing Molly's voice.

But Elias couldn't shake off his fear of Brian. He knew his life would be dreadful if he ever lied to his boss. Composing himself, Elias now wondered about the patient. After all, Emperor made it a point to pick the doctor up in person, which only proved how important the mystery patient was to him.

Meanwhile, at the restaurant of the Dragon Empire Group's private hospital…

The medical facility in A City was unique, unlike the one in T City, which was not open to outsiders.

Not only was it accessible to people from Dragon Island and employees of the Dragon Empire Group, but was also patronized by known politicians and wealthy businessmen. It was lunchtime, so the restaurant was naturally crowded.

Unlike most cafeterias in public hospitals, the restaurant in A City was classic and fancy, with Michelin-star chefs. The food and ambiance often made patients forget they were in a hospital.

Ordinarily, Eric wouldn't be eating lunch there, but he reserved a table by the window for his lunch date with Molly now.

The woman's eyes roamed curiously around the place, which she thought was too fancy to be in a hospital.

"It was Shirley's idea," Eric said while studying the menu as he sensed Molly's curiosity. "She said it was horrible enough to be sick and it would make the situation worse if the food served was bad. So, my father renovated the restaurants of private hospitals under the Dragon Empire Group," he explained as Molly listened with interest.

Her eyes brightened at the mention of Shirley. An image of the woman who went to the concert of Molly's idol with her, and courageously fought off men who attacked them came to mind. It had been two weeks since she last saw Shirley although it felt like a year for Molly.

She became lost in thought and didn't notice when Eric's eyes darkened and his tone became sarcastic. He suddenly felt bitter, and it was not clear if this was because of Frank's devotion to Shirley, or if he was only feeling sympathetic toward Smart.
