To clam down her nerves, Molly closed her eyes and swallowed hard. When she opened her eyes again and looked around, she was mortified to meet Brian's eyes. A scream of terror instinctively escaped her.
"Are you so scared of me?" Brian asked casually, obvious anger showing in his words.
The pain in her back and strange feeling in the head brought her back to the present.
The cut in her back began to scab, but yesterday, the fall might have opened it up again...
While she thought of this, it suddenly dawned on her that she had rolled down the stairs last night.
"Is it you who brought me to hospital yesterday?" The Dragon Empire Group logo on the wall brought her to terms with where she was.
"Who else would you expect?" Brian asked sullenly.
"Thank you, " softly, she replied.
Even though Brian was the source of all her pain, she was grateful he had brought her here last night.
The grateful attitude lit up Brian's eyes, for a moment. It was his mistake that she had fallen, and he had thought she'd be livid.
There came a knock on the door. The doctor and nurse came in, followed by Tony, holding something in his hand.
After routine examination, the doctor roughly reported the situation to Brian. Luckily, there's nothing serious except that the hit on the head was strong enough to cause a slight concussion. The scab on her back was torn again, and was likely to leave a scar, but there was no need to worry. If she thought the scar was too ugly, she could choose to do a reconstructive surgery... And there were also other measures which could be taken.
Molly wasn't in the mood to think about that. Also, it might not be an issue, because the scar was on her back and it really wouldn't matter.
Brian nodded to the doctor coldly and then the doctor excused himself politely and left the ward together with the nurse.
Moving closer, Tony took out what he had in hand. He said calmly, "Last night, accomplices of the notorious Bikers in A city lost money in the dark night racing. So they just ganged up in frustration and started robbing people."
For a moment, Tony paused and fixed his eyes on Molly. "Well, Eric has taken the money back. But the cellphone was not stolen by those people. Sometime later in the night, Park Shin Chun went to the South Street Alley to have?midnight?snack?and his fans were eccentric. So the whole situation went out of control. It must have been then that Molly's phone was stolen."
Molly was in an advanced but not big ward, so even though she didn't look at Brian and Tony, she still could hear Tony clearly. What was more, Tony's voice was very loud.
Perhaps, because she had seen the aftermath of David, Molly was used to Brian's cruelty and ruthlessness when he was handling things. As such, she didn't care how he would react to what Tony was reporting.
