Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 41

"Edgar... I want water..."

Molly uttered and managed to open her eyes a little bit. Through the narrow gaps between her eyelids, she indistinctly saw a hand with long and slim fingers holding a glass of water. Molly's eyes glimmered with thirst as she stared at the glass. But weakness had overpowered her due to sickness and body pains, so she wasn't able to make any movement, but just faintly looked at the glass. Hazily, she noticed that the hand which seemed to hold the glass grasped it so tightly that the bones of its knuckles had become clearly visible.

Brian calmly looked at the woman in his arms, devoid of any emotions on his face. However, deep inside his eyes, fury was beginning to grow.

"Water..." Molly gathered up all of her strength to raise her voice. She was very thirsty and uncomfortable and at the same time, she felt like her body was burning.

But Brian didn't budge, he stayed still. After a while, a cold grin slowly formed on his lips while his face retained that poker expression. Molly feebly raised her hand, which was injected with the intravenous drip, to grab the glass of water herself. But Brian quickly passed the glass to his other hand which was holding Molly's shoulder, and then took hold of her hand.

"Water...give...me..." Molly moaned in anger. Her voice cracked. Feeling extremely dizzy in her weakened state, she wasn't afraid or scared of anything. All she could think about was the water to quench her thirst so she seemingly acted childish like a girl.

Frustrated, Molly's face got bright red because of anger, just like a kid who was deprived of a candy. Her childish look did not escape Brian's deep eyes. His eyes sparkled with a hint of delight as he thought that her look was kind of cute.

Brian couldn't help but smile, yet he still didn't give Molly the glass of water. With all her energy exhausted, Molly fell sound asleep again...

Brian placed Molly carefully back on the bed, took a cotton bud and dipped it in the glass of water. Then, he rubbed the cotton bud on her pale lips to moisten them. Molly instinctively stuck out her tongue and greedily licked the water drops on her lips. Brian looked at her lips with great fascination as his eyes began to burn with lust.

Suddenly, his phone rang and broke the silence of the room. However, Brian paid no attention to the call and just kept on dipping the cotton bud in water and dabbing it on Molly's lips. He couldn't keep his eyes away from her lips as he looked at them hungrily. Brian smiled playfully when he recalled the memory when Becky had a fever once... He did the same thing: he also moisturized her lips with a cotton bud. And Becky also licked out her tongue to sip the water on her lips.

With Becky's memory on his mind, Brian suddenly paused for a moment. The tender smile on his face instantly faded away. He stared at Molly with anger in his eyes and then furiously dropped the glass on the table and threw away the cotton bud. Unwilling to stay there for another second, Brian turned around and left the room, leaving Molly lying on the bed uncomfortably.

As soon as Brian opened the door, he saw Tony standing outside the room. Tony was about to knock on the door but it opened all of a sudden followed by Brian coming out of the room. He then instantly moved aside and gave way to Brian.
