Chapter 388 Just a Scratch
It’s the same with my little brat—they are all protecting me in their own ways. In fact, that includes my pride and my vanity. She reached out to North, who was hesitating whether to return to his room or not. “North, come here.”
North seemed embarrassed. Why would I head there? Does she want me to be the third wheel? I’m not going over!
It so happened that the doorbell rang at that moment. Olivia and Eugene exchanged glances with each other. “That must be Brian.” With that, she stood up while glancing at the surveillance footage to confirm that it was Brian before opening the door.
Nevertheless, she was taken aback by surprise when she opened the door because Brian was holding onto his wrist when he stood at the entrance—blood was oozing profusely down his arm. Olivia’s voice trembled in shock. “Brian—”
Eugene abruptly rose to his full height and approached them. “What happened?”
Brian reassured her, “It’s nothing; don’t worry. I only scratched my arm.”
Olivia did not persist with the interrogation, but rather collaborated with Eugene to help Brian into the house and for him to have a seat. “I’ll get the medical kit for you.”
North stared at Brian fixedly, but he didn’t seem afraid. On the contrary, he looked rather worried, so Brian commented while smiling at him. “Go back to your room first if you are afraid.”
North snorted loudly. “What is so scary about this? I’ve seen injuries that are worse than yours.”
Brian burst out in laughter. “Well, that’s great then.”
Eugene wore a dark expression and his tone sounded somber, “What happened?”
Brian didn’t want to explain, so he mumbled vaguely, “It’s nothing; I scratched my arm by accident.”
Eugene retorted, “You can’t even lie to my son with that excuse!”
Brian inhaled before explaining, “Someone was following me on my way here, so I led them to the outskirts before ramming into their vehicle. I completely destroyed their car and planned on asking them who sent them to follow me. However, I didn’t expect that there would be four people in the car, so I was injured after being distracted.”
