The Day He Matured

Hellen stayed at the villa for one night, then Brian took her to a luxury apartment located in the city center.

According to what I heard, her cosmetics company is also rushing to complete the construction stages.

Foreign businesses often come here to open factories because the cost of labor and raw materials here is quite cheap and the government always has a policy to support them.

Besides, the demand for beauty and beauty care of both women and men in the country is also increasing.

Hellen is a smart girl, of course, she realizes this, and she quickly seizes the opportunity.

Honestly, I really admire Hellen.

As for Brian, after the night he got mad at me, he turned into a completely different person. Wherever I was, he would quickly pass me by, not rushing to my side to tease me as usual.

It’s been more than a week and we only see each other when we’re at the same table for a meal or when I bring him a late-night snack. However, no one said a word to anyone.

Like now, I put a glass of milk and cake on the table and left, while he was focused on the computer screen, not looking up.

In short, if Brian continues to treat me coldly, that’s still fine. However, why do I feel so depressed and empty? Could it be that I like to be tortured by him, like to be teased by him to the point of vomiting blood? I don’t understand myself anymore. Maybe my brain has a problem.

“Ah… ah…”

The sudden pain caused my body to become cold. I clung to the wall with trembling hands.

This stomach is tormenting me again. I thought I would be fine if I took painkillers like usual, but it seems I am seriously ill this time. Maybe I should just go to the hospital. I really am a pest that destroys crops.

“What’s wrong with you?”

The sudden warm voice made me almost fall down the stairs. Why is Brian following me? Maybe he’s finished his work and is going to his room? Apparently, he was busy just now, typing continuously on the computer keyboard with both hands.

“Nothing, I…”

Before I could finish my words, my arm was grabbed by him and pulled back. Even though I wanted to act strong, the pain completely prevailed, I could feel the sweat on my forehead pouring out.

“You’re in so much pain that you sweat and you’re still stubborn. Do you have stomach pain?”

I didn’t answer, just nodded slightly. I don’t understand how he guessed that right.

Before I could pull my hand back, my whole body was lifted up by him like a prince usually holds a princess. I reflexively wrapped my arms around his neck to keep from falling.

At this moment, our eyes met. Why are Brian’s eyes so gentle and serious? A mix that made my heart race. His face became beautiful as light and shadow competed, like a precious painting.

Brian did not say anything more, remained silent, and slowly walked down the wooden steps.

I dared not look down and bury my face in his lap. The space is quiet on all sides, I can clearly hear the man’s footsteps slowly, carefully even though he walks very quietly.

Because the door of my room is not locked, so Brian only needed to lift his foot and touch it to open it.

He carried me to the bed and put me down. There was concern in his eyes.

“Do you have stomach pain medicine?” He looked at the bedside table and asked.

“Yes, in this…”

I raised my body and was about to stand up, but Brian quickly stopped me. He pulled out the desk drawer, took out a pack of pills, and then took the half bottle of filtered water and gave it to me.

“How long have you been sick?”

“It’s been two years. Sometimes I hurt. If I take the medicine, the pain will be gone.” I said as I brought the packet of pills to my mouth.

“Tomorrow, go to the hospital.”

After saying that, Brian turned his back and walked quickly towards the door. The strange warmth he just brought to me also followed him away.

I smiled faintly when I saw the door close. Perhaps my young master was thinking clearly. Perhaps he had completely set his mind on Hellen.

I heard Mrs. Alina say that these days, although Brian is busy with work at the bank, he still helps Hellen deal with paperwork and procedures that are still difficult in the process of setting up the Black Roses cosmetic company.

I had just pulled the blanket up to my neck when the message tone rang. I hurriedly reached for the phone.

The message was from Richard; he said he had just arrived at the airport and attached a photo of a gift he bought for me after a business trip.

Looking at sewing kits and fashion model books, the bridge of my nose suddenly stings. Before boarding the plane to Singapore, Richard encouraged me to try to follow my dream.

He said he would pay all the costs and carry out the procedures so that I could study fashion design and later combine with him to establish our own fashion brand and make money together.

At that time, I just replied that I needed time to think more. I didn’t expect him to be so determined.

If only he had appeared and asked me when I was in a difficult situation seven years ago, perhaps I would have become a fashion designer as I wanted. Unfortunately, there are people who come when the golden time has passed.

I’m not stupid enough to not realize why Richard treats me well. Maybe he likes me, temporarily or permanently, I don’t know, but I guess he’s more or less interested in me.

A busy and successful man has no time to care about the dreams of the girl he doesn’t like.

The night went by slowly, my sleep was also restless because of the chaos of my thoughts.

When the alarm clock rings, I quickly get up, do personal hygiene, wash clothes, sweep the yard, then go to the kitchen, and prepare breakfast as usual. Today, the menu is spaghetti with minced beef sauce.

Brian and his mother ate very quickly, then hurriedly left the house.

I also rushed to the market and then returned to prepare food and then surfed the internet to find the nearest hospital.

In the past few years, I have not been sick enough to have to go to the hospital, so I don’t know where to go.

I was choosing when a message from Brian was sent. He told me to take a taxi to FV Hospital for a checkup because there was a team of very experienced doctors there.

If I remember correctly, it seems that both his health insurance and his mother’s health insurance are registered at this hospital.

However, both he and his mother are very healthy and never go there. They only have a slight cold, a little headache, and aching back and shoulders when they handle too much work.

Before I could reply to the message, my phone rang. I hurriedly pressed the button to listen and put it to my ear.

“Have you received the message yet?”

“I saw the message. I was about to answer when you called.”

“Uh. Be there at nine o’clock.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

I looked up at the clock and I saw that it was five minutes past eight. The road from home to FV hospital also takes nearly an hour, no joke.

I don’t understand why Brian asked me to be there at nine o’clock, what’s the problem if I’m a little late? If I’m late, I wait until early afternoon, anyway; I don’t need to prepare lunch.

“President, it’s time for a meeting.” The voice of the man on the other end of the phone rang very softly.

“Remember to be on time.”

Before I could say anything, Brian hung up the phone after a very short but concise sentence.

Well, I also thanked him for noticing a stubborn maid, big-hearted and often shouting at the young master, so I also obediently arranged my work and prepared to go to FV hospital.

Ten minutes later, the taxi arrived in front of the house. I rushed out, locked the gate carefully, and got into the car.

Although I am an adult, when I go to the hospital alone, it still makes me feel so helpless and sad.

The last time I went to the hospital for a checkup was on a winter day four years ago. At that time, there was a nun with me, so I didn’t feel lonely as now.

FV Hospital is the first and largest intensive private general hospital in the country and one of the most modern hospitals in the country.

The service here is good and the fees are reasonable, so I wasn’t surprised when Brian told me to come there.

As soon as the taxi stopped, I quickly paid the driver and got out. Actually, my age and weight are not directly proportional to my intelligence. I bewilderedly looking around to find a place to buy medical examination books. Too many people also make my face pale.

“Bella, this side.”

Amidst the crowded line of people waiting to buy medical examination books, his voice spoke up, dispelling the anxiety and confusion in me.

Even in a dream, I didn’t expect that he would come here with me. In his hand was a medical examination book. He must have been queuing to buy it before I even set foot in the hospital gate.

Is he not angry with me anymore? I scolded him and left him with his bloody toe on the rooftop. After all, is his love for me real or just a joke?

If he keeps acting like this, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself.

He gave me a feeling of restlessness and lightheadedness when touching the ladder of love, and then he brought me down to the abyss of disappointment and sadness.

“Why are you here?” I asked softly as the distance between the two of us was shortened.

“Stand in front of the gate and look for ten minutes, go inside and look around for another ten minutes, then go find a place that sells medical examination books for fifteen minutes. If I don’t come, when will you finish the medical examination?”
