Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 43

A ray of sunshine looking like a stream of gold poured in through the window and sprinkled on the ground. Molly Xia just woke up and slowly, she opened her eyes. Her eyes looked glassy perhaps because she had been sick for a couple of days. She let out a small wheeze and then frowned firmly. When she gently winked her eyes, a familiar figure appeared in her eyes.

A man was sitting on the sofa, his eyes staring keenly at the laptop computer on his legs and his slender fingers making quick typing movements on the keyboard. Molly slightly turned around and looked at him with her bleary eyes. With furrowed eyebrows and sealed thin lips, his attractive face looked cold and serious.

Gazing at Brian quietly, Molly felt that her heartbeat suddenly raced up. His handsome face somehow became so attractive in her eyes all of a sudden.

Right at that moment, Brian stopped typing and suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Molly with his sharp eyes.

Rattled by Brian's unexpected piercing gaze, Molly got so frightened that she closed her eyes instantly and pretended that she was still asleep. After a while, Molly realized how silly she was and opened her eyes slowly. Brian had seen her staring at him just now, so he must have known that she had woken up already. She certainly must have looked very stupid. Reluctantly, she opened her eyes and was surprised to see that Brian was gazing at her with a cold smile.

"Morning…" said Molly Xia. Her voice had become hoarse because of the fever that it sounded so horrible. Even Molly herself was terrified when she heard her own voice, so she swallowed some slobber to moisten her dry throat.

"You have slept for two days… And it's not morning." Brian said teasingly. It seemed that his thin lips hadn't even moved, and those words just flowed out of his mouth.

Molly couldn't believe what Brian had said. She asked in her grainy voice," Two days?"

Brian didn't answer her and typed something on the keyboard before throwing his laptop on the sofa. Then, he walked to the bed and sat down next to Molly, who was sitting up on the bed supporting her feeble body with her hands. Brian reached out one of his hands, put it on Molly's forehead gently and said," Yes, two days. And the fever didn't kill you. You're still breathing."

Hearing what he had said, Molly glared at him and felt the urge to whisk off his hand from her forehead.

But, she did not dare to.

Although she was very weak right now, she was able to think clearly. She had to learn to control her anger. Otherwise, there would be serious consequences. She still remembered how Brian had warned her, and she should never forget that.

"Purr…"

A weird sound broke the fleeting silence between Molly and Brian. Her face flushed when she saw a mocking smile creeping on Brian's face. "Are you laughing at me? Didn't you know that it is normal for one's stomach to rumble when starving? I haven't eaten anything for two days!" Molly said angrily.

"Well, I know that!" Brian said while smiling. He withdrew his hand, but kept staring at Molly without moving.

"Purr…"

The sound came out of Molly's belly again that she got so embarrassed. She gently rubbed her belly while glowering at Brian. Without saying anything, she had been cursing him a hundred times in her mind, though.

Knock! knock! knock!

Somebody knocked on the door while Molly was wondering if she should remind Brian that she needed to have something to eat. After all, she was a patient who had just recovered.

Brian answered the door while his steadfast gaze never left Molly. The door opened and Lucy walked in with a bowl of porridge.

The sweet smell of the porridge filled the room, and Molly's eyes opened widely as soon as the smell reached her nose. She could feel her stomach growl louder as her hunger grew even more at the sight of the food. She had been starving for two days since she wasn't able to take in anything except for the nutrients from the IV drip.

While walking towards Molly, Lucy glimpsed at Brian inadvertently but with obvious fascination in her eyes. When she was about to hand the porridge to Molly, Brian's big hand suddenly reached out and took the bowl from her.

Lucy was astonished. She stood still and stared at Brian who had taken a spoonful of the porridge, blew on it, and fed it to Molly's mouth. With eyes wide open, Molly was just as astonished as Lucy at that moment!

"Aren't you hungry? Open your mouth," Brian said in a deep voice. His eyebrows frowned a little when he saw that Molly was still in a daze.

Absentmindedly, Molly opened her mouth and swallowed the spoon of porridge that Brian had been feeding her. A spoon after another, Molly was able to finish all the porridge in the bowl.

After that, Brian handed the empty bowl to Lucy who was still dumbfounded by what she had seen. She just stared at the two in a trance, and did not notice the bowl from Brian's hand. Brian waited for quite a while, then frowned, and turned around glaring at Lucy coldly.

Lucy got to her senses, took the bowl nervously, and immediately left the room. Before closing the door, she gave Molly a vicious glance.

As soon as Lucy closed the door behind her, Brian suddenly leaned closer to Molly and licked the corner of her mouth. Molly was shocked and her eyes popped while Brian on the other hand, seemed to enjoy the look on her face and smiled at her sweetly.She then realized that Brian had just licked off a grain of rice from her face. Her face flushed red, and her heart was beating fast like freight trains racing in her chest.
