Love Began with the First Meeting

Elias looked at Eric's face before glancing at Brian's direction, his expression full of excitement.

With arms crossed and a slight cough to earn their respective attention, he told to them with a tone void of emotion.

"I changed her medications with an improved brand which will help Miss Xia to talk with ease once she wakes."

"Are you certain?" Eric said, eagerness clear in his tone. Having Molly awake and her voice restored would be wonderful, and he wished to make sure it will be possible.

Nodding his head, Elias supplemented his answer confidently, "I am positive. Don't you trust in my skills? Besides, this is a recent incident. Treating her illness at this stage is much better." "But..." Elias paused, and his mind processed a series of thoughts at once. His expression became grave.

Elias hesitated to say more in front of them.

With brows knitted, Brian noted his change of expression as well as the unwelcome 'but' and pause at the end. It brought apprehension to his well-being, which something he despised.

"What is it?" he asked. Eric noticed the change and his expression became stern.

The two men's expression became palpable to Elias vision, but he shrugged it off, sighing as he spoke to them, "Miss Xia had been forcing herself to speak these past few days which might result to damage of her vocal cords although unlikely. If she continues to do this, she will face consequences."

Thinking about those spoken words had Eric in deep concentration. He turned to Brian and saw his similar unchanged indifference on his face. Only if his eyes could mask his emotions well. There was a trace of regret deep within his dark orbs.
