Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 245

Before long, the doctor came before. Everyone knew Brian well. None of them could afford to offend him. The doctor checked Molly out and ordered his nurse to give Molly an IV drip. After going through a list of dos and don'ts, they hurried away out of the room. Brian was brooding, and they had no interest in being the targets of his ire.

Brian got even more depressed as he looked at Molly, lying in bed, suffering from a high fever. He had too much to do today, but when he saw how bad off she was, he decided to blow off work. Instead of heading to the office, he changed out ice packs and looked after Molly.

He was reluctant to do that, but didn't want to leave.

When Lisa came in with water, she saw Brian's awkward and melancholy look. She shook her head with a smile and said,"Mr. Brian Long, let me do it, please."

"No need," Brian refused in a low voice. He was unhappy now.

Lisa didn't say another word, but placed the water on a little table and left the room. The moment she closed the door, she thought of Brian, sitting beside the bed, who kept touching Molly's hot cheeks. 'No one in this world can force him to do something he doesn't want to. No matter he'd rather be somewhere else, he's worried about Miss Xia.'

Lisa closed the door gently and went back downstairs. As soon as she left the stairway, she saw her daughter Lucy standing there with a sketchpad in her hand. "Why are you still here?"

Lucy was fuming with anger. She stared at Molly's room upstairs, gritting her teeth. "She's just a common girl. Why is Mr. Brian Long so good to her?"

"Lucy!" Lisa looked mortified. "Watch your mouth! Is this what your father and I taught you? Act like a lady!"

Lucy responded with a sneer and said coldly,"That woman is Mr. Brian Long's plaything. After Miss Yan comes back, he'll throw her away. He always does. If I were her, I'd be happy with what I had and not hope for anything more."

"Even if, as you said, Miss Xia is up to something, how about you?" Lisa knew too well what her daughter thought. She had her own opinions and wasn't shy about sharing them. Lucy didn't listen to her although she had warned her repeatedly,"No matter who Mr. Brian Long likes, no matter whether Miss Xia is his plaything, it's none of our business. We work for him, and he gives you food and shelter and pays your tuition. Now shut up before you piss off Mr. Brian Long! I need this job, and so do you!"

Lucy felt put upon. She was far lovelier and more talented than Molly, but she couldn't date Brian because her parents worked in his villa. "Mom." Lucy turned to look at Lisa. "I'm your daughter. How can you say that to me?"

"You know why?" Lisa heaved a sigh. "Fine. I won't say anything more. But just use your head for once. You grew up here. You must know who Brian is. You're my only daughter. I don't want you to screw up your life."

After that, Lisa just got back to work and ignored Lucy for awhile.
