Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 67 Professional Ethics (Part One)

Brian heavily kissed Molly in front of Eric. His eyes were berserk with fury but he didn't know why he was so angry. Was it due to his own impulsive action, or the slap on her face? Or was it because she had said "It hurts, Brian!" even in a coma?

hurts!" in front of him, his own heart seemed to ache with her pains.

He had got used to injuries and death in his unusual life, and he had gone through hell during his special training in XK Intelligence Agency. In his eyes, nothing was more common than the feeling of pain. However, at that moment when he heard Molly murmuring "It When Eric saw Brian's sudden act, he immediately stood up from his seat and stared at him with his mouth slightly open, and with eyes filled with astonishment! He couldn't understand why Brian did what he just did.

No one in the Long Family was more cruel or arrogant than Brian was. He was aloof, powerful, cruel, and extremely ruthless, even more than Richie was. As far as Eric knew, he only cared for three women in his life: Shirley, Wing, and Becky. However, it seemed that he was being tender to Molly.

Eric pondered with half-closed eyes, and a sly smile appeared on his face. He secretly sneered at Brian, but there were complex feelings flowing in his eyes.

He thought, 'Brian, it seems that Little Molly is also in your heart now.

You said that this was just a game in order to irritate Becky?

Hey, I bet even you don't know what's going on with you, do you?'

Eric glanced at Molly and could hear her groan. He wondered whether was due to her wounds, or because of breathlessness as a result of Brian's kiss. Eventually, Brian left Molly. Her pale lips had become unhealthily red because of his forceful kiss.

"Hmmm..." Still faint, Molly gave a short moan, and then fell into a silent sleep.

Brian still focused his gaze on her, a faint look of pity flashing in his eyes. He softly tucked her slightly wet hair behind her ears, and then muttered in a low voice, "What a worrisome thing you are!"

After he finished his words, a furious flame suddenly burnt in his eyes. His past life had made him aloof and arrogant. He couldn't let his woman be hurt over and over again!

No, he wouldn't forgive anyone who dared to do so! Even though Molly was only a temporary partner, he still wouldn't let that happen!

When Eric felt the sudden fury radiating from his brother, a chill came over his head. He slightly frowned his eyebrows, and said, "Brian, don't you think you care too much about her?"

Hearing the question, Brian's face remained calm, but his eyes narrowed a bit as he kept staring at Molly's pale face. Then, without turning towards Eric, he asked plainly,"Really?"

There was a faint smile in his voice, yet anyone who heard it would feel chilled. At that moment, Eric suddenly understood that Brian indeed cared about only three women in this world. As for his anger about Molly's affairs, it was the fury of a person whose playthings had been touched. Yes, Molly was just one of his "things"!

Eric smiled again, slyly. He looked at Tony who had just come into the room at that very moment, and, with a glance at Molly, left the room.

He walked along the corridor, and told himself, 'Whether Brian cares about Molly or not, it's undoubtedly an interesting game for me!'

His smile widened at that thought. He stepped towards the elevator with his hands in his pockets, and his eyes filled with mystery and cruelty.

After he got in his car, Lenny raised her eyebrows at him, and asked in a lazy tone, "Did you come across Brian inside?"

Eric stared at her reflection in the rearview mirror and sneered in response. Then he said coldly, "Lenny, it's none of your business!"

Lenny showed no fear. She merely smiled and turned back to face the young man in the backseat. He had the same sunny face as his father, yet his eyes were always cold and indifferent. She said, "I am helping you for your own good!" Eric slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

Lenny stared at him deeply, and continued slowly, "Brian's behavior is quite strange these days. Even though he is doing it in order to irritate Becky, I think he has gone too far!"

Eric just sneered at her in response. He asked her to start driving, and then turned his gaze out of the window. While Lenny was turning the car around, he raised his gaze and looked up at the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital.

He thought, 'If Brian is really getting interested in Little Molly, then his love for Becky is nothing more than a joke!'

He looked at his hands, and his eyebrows frowned when he saw the dark red stains of dried blood on them. He then realized that he had forgotten to wash his hands earlier.

He stared at the bloodstains, and Molly's blank, dull, despairing face flashed through his mind, followed by her slim body curling up in his arms and nestling against his chest like a little kitten.

Eric gradually fell into a trance, and his thoughts stopped at Molly's pale face and her unconscious dependence on him.

When Lenny glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Eric dropping his gaze onto something, she curiously tilted her head and took a quick glance. She was totally taken aback by what she saw and wondered, 'Eric is a total cleanliness freak. Why the hell didn't he wash off the bloodstains from his hands?' *

Molly did not regain consciousness until the next morning. Waking up, she frowned, wondering where she was, and tried to get up. But the wound in her back sent a sharp pain so she closed her eyes again. She mockingly asked herself, 'It seems that I usually lose consciousness these days, but what time should it be now?'

After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and gazed towards the side.

Brian was sitting on a chair with his elbow leaning on the arm of the chair and his face in his hand. His eyes were closed and his breathing was regular. He seemed to be asleep!00000
