Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 349

Still Unable to Speak?

Tony drove the car back to the villa at breakneck speed. Brian pushed open the door and stepped out of the car before it had stopped completely. He dashed towards the villa as fast as he could. He saw Lisa rush downstairs to open the door.

"Mr. Brian Long," Lisa addressed him and ran towards him to greet him.

Brian headed upstairs without stopping to greet her back. "How is Becky now?" he asked in a hasty voice, worried about the answer.

"The doctor is checking her right now. She is..." replied Lisa with a gloomy look, "basically fine. She just hit her forehead on the handrail and has a slight concussion. The doctor said it would be better for her to have a full check up at the hospital."

Brian had reached upstairs as Lisa finished speaking. He pushed open the door without knocking. The doctor was gathering up his medical instruments, having completed his short medical examination. He politely nodded to greet Brian when he saw him come in.

Instead of responding to the doctor's greeting, Brian strode to the bed in a hurry. He noticed the huge bruise above the corner of Becky's left eye. She was still lying unconscious, but her brows were knotted in pain. It must have been a terrible accident.

Yoyo stood silently by the bedside; she had sensed Brian's fury. She swallowed her fear to calm herself down as much as her nerve would allow, not even daring to breathe too loudly, just in case it would attract Brian's attention to her.

Brian reached out and covered Becky's hand with his. He held it gently and ran his slender fingers over the bandage on her hand. She was perfectly fine when he had left just a couple of days ago, but now...She was covered in bruises. 'What happened here?' Brian wondered.

"Is she okay?" Brian asked in a low voice, but he kept his eyes on Becky.

The doctor approached Brian. He maintained a professional, calm demeanor and said, "Miss Yan has suffered from some physical injuries and a mild cerebral concussion. It is my suggestion that you take her to the hospital for a thorough examination, Mr. Long."

"Yes, I will," said Brian in a soft voice. He asked the doctor to go ahead with the arrangements needed for the medical check up and ordered Yoyo to get Becky changed. Then he gently carried Becky in his arms and took her downstairs.

Tony had been waiting in the hall downstairs. Brian said nothing as he silently carried Becky towards the entrance of the villa. Tony followed him outside without any questions. He opened the car door for Brian and helped him place Becky on the seat. Then he slipped into the driver's seat and drove towards the hospital.

Tony accelerated to the maximum, overtaking any vehicle in front of him. He cast a quick look at the rear-view mirror and he could clearly see Brian's worried face. He held Becky tightly in his arms. Tony could not help but let out a sigh in secret.

Yesterday, it was Molly who was in Brian's arms, but today it was Becky. And both of them had been injured in some kind of accident. Molly was beaten up and Becky had tripped, injuring herself badly.
