Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 55 Don't Push Me! (Part Three)

Edgar's heart bled to see her in pain. He glared at Brian and said, "Be careful, Mr. Long! She's hurt!"

His name seemed to shock everyone in the room. No one had expected the handsome young man to be the famous Brian Long of A City.

"Oh, really?" Brian asked as he held her tighter on purpose. She suddenly felt as if something was tangling on her back and she gasped harder.

"Brian Long, is this how you treat your woman?" Edgar angrily remarked.

Brian didn't answer. He simply lowered his head towards Molly and was enraged when all he saw was Edgar in her eyes. "Mol, am I good to you?" he asked in a cold voice, trying to conceal his anger.

In response, Molly flinched and looked into his dark eyes while biting her lips. How could he ask her something like that? All she felt near him was shame and fear, even more than what she had felt near Tyler. How could he be good to her? Without giving him an answer, Molly turned and stared at Edgar in distress, hoping that he wouldn't misunderstand their relationship. She wanted to explain everything but she couldn't.

Brian gave out a loud groan as he raised his head. "Mr. Mayor, why are you so concerned about my woman? What do you want from her?" he asked.

The cops were astonished to hear that, because they hadn't known Edgar's identity. The sheriff was especially taken aback as he had just ordered his being brought to the police station. For them, the entire situation was out of their hands. They didn't dare speak a word.

For Edgar, it wasn't surprising that Brian knew who he was. Clearly, he had done his research. Right now, seeing Molly suffer, he remarked, "Mr. Long, if you don't want your woman to die, I suggest you take her to the hospital first."

The sheriff seemed to come to himself, and after hearing what Edgar had said, tried to make up for what he had done, but Edgar waved it off.

Then Edgar ordered the cops with dignity, "Everyone here will be taken back to the precinct to record statements about the abduction."

While speaking, his eyes were specifically fixed on Brian, who was a few years younger than him but acted senior. "Including you... Mr. Long, you have to come with us too."

Brian sniggered, "Sorry, Mr. Mayor. I cannot comply with your wishes."

Then, Brian Long whispered in Molly's ear, "Mol, let's go home."

His warm breath blew into her ear, and she felt numb, as if she had just smoked Marijuana.

The cops stood still as if their feet were nailed to the ground and merely watched as Brian took Molly away.

After they had left the room, all Molly could recall was the worry on Edgar's face and the shock on those cops' when Brian dragged her out.

It was really like what he had told Molly, that he, Brian Long, was above the law!

She had thought it was just a figure of speech but he had disobeyed the mayor's orders in public and had taken her away in front of the police. And he had looked disdainfully at them all.

Also she remembered Tony walking into the room and saying that he was Brian's lawyer in his cool as usual voice.

He was actually a lawyer!

In the car filled with dreary air, Molly Leaned comfortably against the seatback, feeling sleepy, and her eyelids getting heavy. Watching the scenes flowing by outside the window, she thought of Edgar. She was still wearing his coat. Over a thousand times, she had fancied meeting him again, but never like this, in such an embarrassed and awful state.

Suddenly, something else seemed to come to her mind and, overcoming her pain, she turned slowly to Brian and said, "Brian... can I use your phone for a moment?"

He didn't reply. He didn't even look at her.

"My mother is in hospital. I'm worried about her!" Molly explained calmly. Her fear of Brian faded away, replaced by concern for her mother. "Please, put yourself in my shoes. I just want to know if she is okay, " Molly added.

After thinking for a while, he handed her his phone. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Molly took the phone, and dialled a number, staring outside the window blankly while waiting for her mother to answer. There was a dead silence in the car, and the only sound was Molly's breathing on the phone. . She was getting more and more anxious as she waited, clutching a cushion behind her tightly.

"Hello?" Finally, Daniel picked up the phone.

"Daniel, how's mom?" Molly asked in a faint voice.

"Molly? It is you? Where are you? Why haven't you come to see mom yet?" he asked cheerfully, surprised to hear from Molly. "Mom has been transferred to a private hospital, thanks to your friend! The doctor just came to check on her and she is asleep right now. Also dad is fine now. Your friend said

he would help track down whoever hit him. Molly, since when have you got such a friend?" added Daniel.

"Who? My friend?" Molly was confused. "Where is the hospital?"

"Yes, your friend!" Daniel continued, "Well…I'm not sure but we seem to be at an affiliated hospital of the Dragon Empire Group. I saw a logo in the hospital with two dragons, noses to tails on a shield and a capital Z in the middle. I remember seeing that on TV before!"

Daniel kept saying excitedly, not noticing the silence at the other end.

Molly gazed at Brian for quite a long while, and then answered, "I see. It's a relief to know that mom's alright. I'm in the middle of something. I will come and see you as soon as possible."

"It's okay. Your friend has told us about that. You can set your mind at rest, Molly. Don't worry about mom. She's fine, " Daniel replied.

"I see. I have to go now. Take good care of mom!" She hung up the phone and passed it to Brian. Looking at his gloomy face, she pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Thank you!"
