Love Began with the First Meeting

Brusquely, Brian asked, "How irritating is the medicine?" He would have to get used to Brian's deep and low voice that added charm to his strongly defined features. The man, Elias thought, was both attractive and dangerous.

The question, asked so abruptly, caught Elias unaware and the doctor had to compose himself before replying. "The degree of irritation has been lowered to only 10 percent."

When it came to his work and knowledge, Elias became arrogant and confident. Fortunately, Brian respected the change in the doctor's attitude believing that only incapable men would remain humble and modest.

"I hate people who brag," Brian said, looking Elias in the eye. The doctor's demeanor softened a little.

"I am not bragging, but I have faith in my work. The test results back up what I said," he explained eagerly.

"All right," Brian acknowledged. Satisfied with Elias' answer, Brian's eagle eyes somehow softened and put on his usual aloof expression. There was a hint of a smile as he anticipated hearing Molly's voice.

But Elias couldn't shake off his fear of Brian. He knew his life would be dreadful if he ever lied to his boss. Composing himself, Elias now wondered about the patient. After all, Emperor made it a point to pick the doctor up in person, which only proved how important the mystery patient was to him.

Little Molly kept saying this after she met Shirley.

It made his heart ache to witness Molly's never-give-up attitude. Eric had an entirely different motive when he first decided to establish a relationship with Molly. But now realizing her struggles, his heart went out to the woman. Eric made a silent vow to treat her

'No! I won't!
