Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 396

*

At the restaurant.

Brian didn't ask Molly what she wanted to eat. He randomly ordered some light dishes on the menu. When the food was served, Molly frowned and her mouth twitched.

Looking at the expression on her face, a small smile appeared on Brian's thin lips, "Wing said that you had hardly eaten anything while I was unconscious."

Molly pursed her lips. Brian got injured because he was trying to protect her, and had sunk into a short coma. She was too worried about him to eat.

Leaning forward, Brian looked at Molly's thin and pale face. It killed him to see that she was thin and gaunt. But he still acted aloof, "Well, it's no wonder you fainted in my arms."

Molly's face turned red. She stared at Brian, wide-eyed, then she looked around and saw that no one had noticed them. Then she whispered to him, "You are so cheeky!"

"Yes, I am," Brian replied. He didn't mind her cursing him. He put a bowl of millet congee in front of her and said to her bossily, "Eat this."

Molly was angry and embarrassed. 'What a volatile man!' Molly said to herself.

"You have known that I am an erratic man since the day we met ." Brian raised his eyebrows and looked at Molly with his dark eyes.

Molly was so startled by his words that she almost dropped her spoon. She looked at him in confusion. It was like Brian had read her mind.

Picking up his glass of water, Brian said, "Mol, I always know what's going on in that head of yours. Don't forget about your promise. If you dare leave me, I'll break your legs and make you stay."

Brian looked dead serious.

Clenching the spoon in her hand, Molly stayed silent. She lowered her head and started eating slowly.

But Brian only said that because he knew that they loved each other. And they'd be together forever, just like Shirley and Richie. The thought made him happy.

"After you finish eating, I'll take you to the Empire Hospital to check your eyes," Brian said.

Molly didn't give much thought to what he said. She just ate quietly. Her eyes did feel uncomfortable and strained. She wondered if it was because of the flash grenades. Suddenly, Molly looked up at Brian in a state of shock. She asked, "Daniel?"

"We got him out that night," Brian replied coldly.

"Really?" Molly asked, excited and relieved. Brian just nodded. There was a luminous glow in Molly's eyes when she heard that Daniel was safe. She choked up, "Thank you for what you did, Bri."

"No problem," Brian replied coldly again. He felt uncomfortable about her gratitude and the look on his face remained cold, "After they check your eyes, I'll take you to see him."

Molly nodded hurriedly, afraid that Brian might change his mind soon. She lowered her head to eat the food as quickly as she could. When she finished, she stood up and said, "I'm full."

After taking a look at the leftover food on the table, Brian stood up and took Molly's hand. They walked out of the restaurant and headed to see the ophthalmologist.

Inside the elevator, they both stayed silent. The atmosphere was a little awkward. Molly pursed her lips and tried to slide her fingers away from his grasp. But, Brian held her hand more tightly. Molly frowned and stared at him, "You just woke up from your coma yesterday. Your injury..."
