Chapter 353 Don''t Bury Your Head In The Sand (Part One)


    Brian held Molly''s hand as they walked out of the ward.


    He was gripping so hard on her wrist that it hurt Molly a bit.


    She tried to wriggle her hand free but to no effect.


    Molly was angry at Brian and was staring him down for just dragging her like that and refusing to let go.


    But after a while, she felt sad and resigned towards Brian. She stopped trying to wriggle her hand free


    and just let Brian lead her to the elevator.


    Molly lowered her head looking at Brian''s hand gripping so tightly on hers. She med herself that she


    liked how Brian''s hand held hers.

    Meanwhile, Brian was clueless as to how Molly was feeling. He pushed the elevator button and a


    momentter, the elevator rang open. He led Molly inside and pushed the button that led to the ground


    floor. The elevator door mmed shut with a loud bang.


    Yoyo stood still at the doorway of Becky''s ward as she watched Brian and Molly leave. As soon as their


    backs were out of sight, she turned to look at Becky who was lying on her bed. She sighed thinking to


    herself, ''Mr. Brian is ying with these two women and no doubt did Brian have feelings for both Molly


    and Becky. Soon, he will have to choose one. One of them will get hurt.''


    Brian didn''t speak while they were in the elevator. He merely stared at the elevator screen, watching


    the numbers change as they go down each floor. After a while, the elevator nged open. Brian led


    Molly out mindlessly going all way outside.


    The night was chilly and it sent a shiver down Molly''s spine as soon as they stepped out.


    Molly bit her lip, feeling the chill on her body, and the temperature going down. Brian dragged her out of


    the hospital without so much as a coat or a scarf. Molly was out here in the numbing cold in just a thin


    and skimpy hospital gown.


    Brian was so ignorant that he had no idea that Molly was almost freezing to death in this cold. He was


    just gripping her by the arm as they made their way to the parking lot. They were silent the whole time.


    When they got to the car, Brian turned around to put Molly in the car. Only then did he see how cold


    Molly really was. Brian was so concerned, he said, "Why didn''t you put on moreyers?" What Brian


    didn''t realize was that he was in such a hurry when he went to Molly''s room that she didn''t get a


    chance to put on more clothes. Molly stared at him furiously. When Brian saw Molly''s face, he realized


    that it was his fault because he made her hurry and he didn''t even ask her if she was ready to leave.


    Brian''s face turned red at this thought. He released Molly''s wrist and took off his jacket to put on her.


    "Hop in," he gestured to Molly.


    Molly kept her eyes on the jacket that Brian had just put on her, feeling safe in it especially that it still


    smelled of him. She felt the warmth as if it was actually him holding her close.


    Molly was in quite a daze before she snapped out of it. She didn''t realize that she hadn''t even been


    able to say no to Brian''s jacket - not that he would listen. She didn''t want to provoke Brian anymore so


    she stepped in the car at hismand.


    Once Molly was in, Brian headed to the other side of the car and jumped in the driver''s seat. Just as


    they were about to leave the hospital, Edgar''s car shot past Brian''s.


    Edgar''s car screeched to a halt. As soon as the engine stopped, Edgar jumped out and went straight to


    the information desk. "May I know if there''s a Molly checked in here?" Edward asked the nurse on the


    desk.


    "Sorry, sir," the nurse answered nicely, "we don''t provide information on our patients as that''s how we


    protect their privacy."


    Edgar frowned, pausing for a while before saying, "But, I''m Edgar."


    But the nurse didn''t budge. "I''m sorry, sir. We don''t have exceptions for this," she responded politely.


    Edgar glowered at the nurse. Although he knew how the Dragon Empire Group Private Hospital valued


    privacy, he kind of hoped that they would make an exception for him. But obviously, the nurses were


    taught that privacy was of utmost importance here. And no one was above this.


    Edgar was so worried about Molly - he nced at the nurse onest time to see if she would change


    her mind but she was back working. He hadn''t talked to Molly for a while and she hadn''t been


    answering his calls for about two days now. He hadn''t been able to sit still when he heard about the


    casino incident. He just wanted to know if Molly was okay but at this point, he couldn''t do anything. And


    the fact that he couldn''t do anything drove him crazy.


    He looked around the lobby hoping that Molly would walk by or something but he saw someone else.


    Standing not too far was Jennifer and he walked towards her, "What are you doing here?"


    "I came to see a doctor," Jennifer responded, "and you?"


    "I''m visiting a friend." Edgar said. He wasn''t lying. There was no reason for him to lie but not for one


    second would he believe Jennifer that she was just here to see a doctor. She must have followed him.


    While he was on his way here, he felt that he was being followed but he chose to ignore it because he


    needed to get to the hospital right away.


    "I wonder, what kind of friend would you, our Mayor Edgar visit at the middle of the night?" Her voice


    scornful and her pretty face full of contempt.


    Edgar ignored her cynicism and remainedposed, "There''s no need for you to be concerned."


    As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he shot a look of warning to Jennifer, his eyes almost like


    daggers. Not wanting to continue the conversation anymore, he walked away leaving her before she


    could say anything else. Since he had no luck with the hospital, he had to try something else because


    he wouldn''t be able to sleep until he knew that Molly was okay.


    When Edgar was outside the hospital, Jennifer was apparently trailing him behind angrily. "Edgar!" she


    called out.


    Edgar scowled at the sound of her voice. Even though he was sick of having to deal with her, he would


    have to stretch his patience a little more because he still had business with her grandfather and he


    couldn''t let things go sour there. So he stopped his steps.


    When Jennifer saw Edgar stop in his tracks, she quickened her pace to catch up with him. She stood in


    front him, trying and failing to catch his eyes as he was looking somewhere else. This angered Jennifer,


    grinding her teeth out of wrath, "Edgar, if you really want Molly to be okay, I suggest you leave her


    alone."


    Edgar fixated his eyes on her nkly, "If you even try to hurt her, then consider my deal with Major


    General Zeng done."
