Love Began with the First Meeting

Still Unable to Speak?

Tony drove the car back to the villa at breakneck speed. Brian pushed open the door and stepped out of the car before it had stopped completely. He dashed towards the villa as fast as he could. He saw Lisa rush downstairs to open the door.

Brian headed upstairs without stopping to greet her back. "How is Becky now?" he asked in a hasty voice, worried about the answer.

"The doctor is checking her right now. She is..." replied Lisa with a gloomy look, "basically fine. She just hit her forehead on the handrail and has a slight concussion. The doctor said it would be better for her to have a full check up at the hospital."

Brian had reached upstairs as Lisa finished speaking. He pushed open the door without knocking. The doctor was gathering up his medical instruments, having completed his short medical examination. He politely nodded to greet Brian when he saw him come in.
