Yoyo looked at Becky, whose face was full of expectations, and she thought back to last night when Brian had taken Molly's hand and had left the hospital with her.
So she hesitated for a short moment, then said, "Mr. Brian Long is busy working right now. He was here the whole time last night."
Yoyo believed that lies which meant no harm might even be good for the patient's health. So when she saw Becky smile sweetly, she shook her head fondly at her behavior. Women in love were all the same.
"Miss Yan, let me check your temperature please," Yoyo said.
Becky was clearly in a good mood because of what Yoyo had said, so she just nodded her head with a smile and asked, "Did Brian tell you when he will come back?"
"Mr. Brian Long..." Yoyo mumbled, trying to find an excuse. And just at that moment, the door was pushed open and Brian calmly walked in with Wing trailing behind him.
"Mr. Brian Long. Miss Long." Yoyo politely greeted them. She glanced at Becky, then looked back at Brian, frowning silently. She was a little afraid that Brian might say something that would make Becky realize that she had lied to her.
"Brian?" The corners of Becky's lips lifted into a large smile. Then she tilted her head in confusion when she heard Yoyo greet another person. "Is that Wing?"
"Yeah, it's me." Wing stepped in and sat on the bed. She held Becky's hand, which was trying to reach out to her. She looked at Becky, worried. "How did you hurt yourself like this? You really need to be more careful."
"I can't see anymore, so..." Though Becky could not see Wing, she was still very excited to hear her voice. "Why are you in A City all of a sudden? Did you just arrive? Was it Brian who picked you up?"
"I arrived last night." Wing did not know what had actually happened to Becky, and Brian also didn't tell her why Becky and Molly were in the hospital at the same time. It was not until now that she saw the bruise on Becky's forehead.
The smile on Wing's face froze for a second, but she quickly disguised it. Becky held onto Wing's hand and excitedly chatted with her non-stop, even ignoring Brian.
Brian wasn't even surprised that Becky was ignoring his presence after seeing Wing. He told Yoyo to take good care of Becky and left the room. He went straight to Elias's office.
But unfortunately, Elias was not in his office. Brian asked the nurse, and she told him that Elias was in Molly's room at the moment.
Brian didn't think any further. He walked directly to Molly's room. It was only until his hand was on the doorknob of her room that he hesitated, as Wing's words came to his mind.
His hand tightened on the doorknob, then he slowly let go. Brian peeked through the window into the room. Inside the room, Elias was running some tests on Molly. He looked at Molly's peaceful face and wondered, 'Am I really in love with Molly?'
He looked at Molly with unsure eyes. His heart tightened when he saw Molly smile shyly at Elias.
"Brian," Eric greeted, pushing his wheelchair towards him. He glanced at the closed door and asked, "Why are you standing here?"
"I'm here for Elias."
"Huh," Eric smirked, then added, "I didn't ask you if you were here for Little Molly or Elias."
Brian's eyes darkened at Eric's arrogance. He opened the door and walked in without another word. Molly and Elias turned to look at the door and saw Brian and Eric walk in. Elias enthusiastically greeted them while Molly just calmly glanced at Brian, then turned her head towards Eric, who was behind Brian. She gently smiled at Eric.
