The Day He Matured

Richard did not call me even once since he left my house. It seemed that he didn’t say anything to Caily.

If she knew that I was injured like this, she would have run to my side.

It’s okay, I don’t want to bother her either.

I’ve only been at home for two days and I’m sad. But because my fingers still hurt, I can’t hold scissors or sewing needles, I can only take paper and draw some new dress designs.

In the afternoon, I had just finished cooking a pot of sour soup with snakehead fish when the doorbell rang.

When I was in the house, I heard Richard calling me, but when I ran out, I saw the person standing outside was Brian.

Actually, I didn’t intend to open the gate for him to enter, but when I saw the wound on his mouth and the bruise on his cheek, I worried.

I guess this guy tripped or got into a fight with someone. He’s old but still likes to fight?

“Why did you come here?” I opened the gate and asked.

What’s up? Why is he looking at me with reproachful eyes?

Before I could continue to speak, Brian rushed into the gate, went straight to the main door, then took off his shoes, took off his socks, and entered the house.

A series of such actions caused me to rub my eyes constantly because I thought I was paranoid.

I quickly closed the gate and ran in.

Brian was sprawled out on the sofa and looked at me with wide eyes. This is the aftermath of the accident, right? He’ll be like this from time to time, right? Not normal, do crazy things.

“Director… director? You… what’s wrong with you?” I leaned forward and asked softly, but did not dare to approach him.

“Why did you lie to me?”

He suddenly sat up, causing me to panic, and quickly backed away.

This guy asked without beginning or end, how do I know what issue he is referring to?

I lied a lot; I was scolded by Richard yesterday morning.

“Richard said that because you saved me from that car, you broke seven fingers. Is it right? Why do you say you had an accident at work? What are you trying to hide, Bella?”

With each question, Brian approached me step by step. His eyes seemed to want to see through my heart.

I didn’t have the courage to continue looking him straight in the eyes, so I backed away and looked away.

I did not expect Richard to go to see Brian. After all, what did he say? Perhaps the wounds on this handsome face were also caused by Richard.

The man who was always gentle suddenly hit people just because of me? I’m a sinner, always making good people turn bad.

“I don’t want to repeat the past. Nothing worth mentioning.” I tried to keep my composure to respond to the person who was cornering me.

“Nothing worth mentioning, huh?” His voice was low, a little shaky.

“Right.” I looked up, facing the deep eyes that had engulfed me in the sea of sadness.

“Bella. You saved me and then abandoned me while I was facing death. If you want to leave me, you better just let me follow my mother.”

I felt like my heart was cut by a sharp knife, so painful that my whole body was numb.

Perhaps Brian was more hurt than I thought. That’s why he said these heartbreaking words.

At this moment, I really want to hug him and tell him that I love him so much and no matter how disabled he is, I still want to be by his side, taking care of him.

I really wanted to tell him that I gave up on him because I thought about his future. However, a last bit of reason stopped me.

I thought to myself. Even with the light office work, I still have difficulties because of the sequelae of the old wounds, let alone Brian was more seriously injured than me. If he lost everything because of me, he would be miserable.

“Please go home. It’s already happened, even if you blame me, it’s already happened.”

“We can start over, I’m recovered and I can take care of you, I…”

“No. I don’t want to. Our love is long over.” I shook my head, interrupting his words.

I didn’t expect Brian to make this suggestion to me. I thought he would hate me and resent me for decades to come.

Or is he trying to trap me? Is he trying to put me in a cage and throw me in the river? The kind of revenge on the traitor, like in the movies.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

He’ll make me fall for his sweet love trap and then let me taste betrayal.

“I remember that I still haven’t agreed to break up with you. Dear Bella, I came back here to continue the unfinished love story with you.” Brian leaned close to my ear and blew softly.

My whole body trembled. Brian is terrorizing me, isn’t he? Is he threatening me? There’s nothing left to join or glue. Everything has been broken.

“Go… get out of my house right now.” My hands trembled as I pointed towards the door.

“Okay, but I’ll be back, baby.”

Brian stepped back, gradually stretching the distance between the two of us. The smile on his lips looked so perverted, so were his eyes. Maybe he’s gone insane.

Where’s Hellen? Why didn’t she keep him? Why did she let him run around like this? I should have asked for Hellen’s phone number so I could call her in an emergency.

My eyes were still wide, trying to observe the expression on that handsome face. I saw his smile fade, his brow furrowed, and as soon as he turned his back, his whole body wobbled, having to lean on the back of the sofa.

Because I was so panicked, I forgot my fear and rushed over to catch him.

“Brian, what’s wrong with you? Do you have a headache?”

“Medicines… do you have pain relievers?” He frowned, holding his head with his right hand, and whispered.

“Yes, yes, please sit down here.”

I hurriedly helped Brian sit down and ran into the room, rummaging around. Fortunately, I always have pain relievers in the house because my fingers and legs are also constantly aching.

Looks like he’s in a lot of pain, so I’ll give him two pain relievers.

“Brian, take some medicine.”

I handed him medicine and a glass of water and waited. My heart was pounding, my limbs were still shaking, and my body was covered in cold sweat.

“Please don’t go home, lie down for a while to absorb the medicine.”

“Didn’t you just chase me away?”

“Stop questioning me. Lie down and rest for a while.”

He smiled tiredly, obediently took off his vest, threw it aside, and lay down, closing his eyes.

I feel like I don’t understand him at all. I don’t know if what he said was sincere or a lie.

Imagine if Brian angered his grandfather, and no longer had a place in the Hana corporation. He will be miserable.

Take a look at his current form. If there were no gold coins inlaid around him, no girl would dare approach him.
