Chapter 245 An Involuntary Change (Part Three)

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 a

"Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"

When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.

Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...

ined his composure. "Well, should I let people know the video conference is delayed?"

Brian looked back at Molly on the bed in the room, turned his gaze and said,"The meeting is postponed until further notice. Just do as I ask."

"OK." Harrow shrugged his shoulders, wondering what happened in the villa. He had never seen Brian like this before, but it must be serious if he was skipping work.

Brian hung up and walked back into the room. Molly was shifting positions. Seeing this, he strode forward to stop her. He was afraid that the needle would pop out, and that wouldn't be good. She needed it.

He held her down, and she struggled a bit. But eventually she quieted down. Seeing that she stopped moving, Brian released his grip and placed the bag of ice back on her forehead. It had fallen when she moved.

Just then, Brian's phone rang again. He stared at the caller's name and pressed the answer key.

"Mr. Brian Long, we've gotten a report that 10 men from the special forces are now active in the city. We don't know why quite yet, but we think it's likely their mission is to take you out," Vincent said coldly on the other end.
