Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 32 Mind Reading



Aware of Brian's reaction when it came to Becky, Wing changed the topic and chatted on with Brian for a few more minutes
before hanging up.
As the call ended, Brian put the phone back in his pocket and turned slightly towards Molly. She was staring blankly at him, with
furrowed brows, and lips moving slightly. She seemed to have been immersed in her own thoughts.
Somehow, her expressions made Brian displeased and his eyes became deeper and sharper.
The tension in the air filled the entire car, and Molly suddenly came back to her senses as the atmosphere became heavier still.
Right about that time, she met Brian's deep eyes, and her heart trembled in fear. This was so awkward!
"What...what's up?" she enquired cautiously. In her mind, she had witnessed something unreal. That a man with an aura as cold
as Brian could possibly treat someone gently? Was it real?
However, he ignored Molly's question and moved his eyes back on the stock market indices with his eyes devoid of any emotion.
Hearing no response from the man sitting beside her, Molly sat upright again, but sneakily scanned and observed him from time
to time. It was often said that women were highly volatile. But right now, Molly felt this man was changing his face even faster
than a regular woman.
She was sure that Brian either had schizophrenia or a split personality!
The thought seemed to amuse her and she couldn't help but grin.
However, her heart froze the next second when she received a sharp stare from Brian.
She clenched her teeth discreetly in fear. Brian's eyes seemed to be like X-rays. They could see right through her. It even
seemed like he could read her mind somehow!
"Mr. Long. We are here!" Tony's peaceful voice resounded in the car, breaking the awkward silence and tension. Looking in the
rearview mirror, he looked at the two people in the backseat and let out a sigh.
"I might have schizophrenic illness... and a split personality too!" Brian spoke calmly as he looked towards Molly. Then switching
his laptop off, he got out of the car.
Molly's mouth was left hanging open in shock! She kept sitting in the car while Brian got out and blinked her eyes. A terrible
feeling was setting in her heart as she realized that Brian could read her mind; thoroughly and clearly!

Tony opened the back door and a gust of cold wind blew in. Then she heard his peaceful voice again," Miss Xia, please come
out of the car now."
It was unclear whether she was shivering from lack of warmth in the wind, or the coldness in Brian's words. Biting her lower lip,
she got out of the car. A strong smell of disinfectant as she followed Brian finally told her she was in a hospital. She was
confused.
"Are you sick?" Molly picked up her pace and caught up with Brian to ask.
Squinting at her, Brian coldly replied," No!"
"Well..." The contempt in his words stopped her from asking any more questions. Then she remembered that he had told her he
would take her to see someone. Maybe this was it.
They all went into the elevator but did not say a word. The only sound in the elevator was the breathing of three different people,
which made Molly feel highly oppressed.
The elevator finally rang as they reached the ninth floor. Before exiting, Molly had a chance to see the signs which read Intensive
Care Unit.
As they walked in the corridor, their heavy footsteps echoed around them. Molly's heart was beating more and more rapidly with
each step she took. Maybe this was because they were in the ICU, or because the silent, tense atmosphere all around made her
feel the air was thinner and harder to breathe.
Brian stopped outside one of the several ICU wards. Instinctively, Molly looked inside through the glass window. Inside, a man
lay on the bed, with bandages all over his body. His eyes and lips had bloodstains all over and he seemed to have been terribly
wounded.
"Who is he?" Molly was confused.
"David Zhao!" Came the cold reply.
"David Zhao?" Molly's eyes widened the moment she heard the name. The memories from the night before came back to her
and her eyes began to fill with terror.

"Do you know what the most painful thing in the world is?" Brian was coldly perusing the man on the bed as he asked Molly, in a
voice so indifferent it felt as if he was talking about a puppet rather than a human being.
Molly kept her eyes on the man inside the ward, without uttering a word. After a while, she turned towards Brian, compressing
her lips tightly.Right now, she was afraid of even an answer from him.
He grinned slightly and shifted his gaze towards her. Then he replied," The most painful thing in the world is... when you want to
die and end it all, you just can't do it!"
Her legs felt like jelly and she stepped backwards until she hit the wall to support herself.
Trying to control the rising fear in her heart, Molly started gasping for air. She was staring at Brian's handsome but satanic face.
"So... Why did you bring me here? Why did you want me to see him? What did you mean by that?
