Chapter 388 Just a Scratch
It’s the same with my little brat-they are all protecting me in their own ways. In fact, that includes my pride and my vanity. She reached out to South, who was hesitating
whether to return to his room or not. “South, come here.” South seemed embarrassed. Why would I head there? Does she want me to be the third wheel? I’m not going over!
It so happened that the doorbell rang at that moment Camila and Silas exchanged glances with each other. “That must be Brian.” With that, she stood up while glancing at the
surveillance footage to confirm that it was Brian before opening the door.
Nevertheless, she was taken aback by surprise when she opened the door because Brian was holding onto his wrist when he stood at the entrance-blood was oozing profusely
down his arm. Camila’s voice trembled in shock. “Brian-” Silas abruptly rose to his full height and approached them. “What happened?” Brian reassured her, “It’s nothing;
don’t worry. I only scratched my arm.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCamila did not persist with the interrogation, but rather collaborated with Silas to help Brian into the house and for him to have a seat. “I’ll get the medical kit for you.”
South stared at Brian fixedly, but he didn’t seem afraid. On the contrary, he looked rather worried, so Brian commented while smiling at him. “Go back to your room first if
you are afraid.” South snorted loudly. “What is so scary about this? I’ve seen injuries that are worse than yours.” Brian burst out in laughter. “Well, that’s great then.” Silas
wore a dark expression and his tone sounded somber, “What happened?” Brian didn’t want to explain, so he mumbled vaguely, “It’s nothing; I scratched my arm by accident.”
Silas retorted, “You can’t even lie to my son with that excuse!” Brian inhaled before explaining, “Someone was following me on my way here, so I led them to the outskirts
before ramming into their vehicle. I completely destroyed their car and planned on asking them who sent them to follow me. However, I didn’t expect that there would be four
people in the car, so I was injured after being distracted.” Silas was stumped for a moment. “Did you drive yourself here?” Brian replied, “Do you want more people to know
that I’m here?” Silas answered, “So what if the others know about this? What is there to hide?”
Brian glared. “You might not be scared, but what about the mother and son?”
At the mention of Camila and South, Silas suddenly appeared vulnerable. “I will send
people to protect them as well.” Just as the two of them chatted, Camila took a medical kit out from the room. “Let me have a look.” With that, she took out a pair of scissors
to cut his sleeve away, exposing a long and garish scratch. She seemed frustrated when she was bandaging his wound. “Are you trying to achieve some sort of sympathy

here?” : Brian burst out in laughter, “That’s right! Since I have a gash on that arm, I’ll need one on this side too.” Upon seeing how gleeful he was, she was so angry that she
was at a loss for words. After that, she adopted the tone that she used to reprimand Landon as a warning. “In that case, you should have allowed me to complete my
treatment for you before obtaining a matching wound! There’s barely any space for me to stitch you up.” Camila could have sounded like she was joking, but Brian knew that
she was exasperated. She might be worried about me to a certain extent, because she is treating me like her family. Judging by her tense appearance, I know that she’s not

again.”
Silas’s eyebrow shot up in surprise. That was surprisingly easy! He always says that and I’ve heard it so many times that I can’t take him seriously now. Has he ever acted
obediently?
Finally, after she bandaged Brian’s arm, she broke the silence. “It’s done. Let’s have dinner.” Brian answered, “I already ate before coming over. You all should go ahead and
eat without me.”
Camila stated, “Just eat less if you already had something to eat earlier. I’ll perform acupuncture on you after dinner. Are you feeling better?” Brian remarked, “I think it’s
working. I didn’t sleep the whole night last night, but I didn’t have a headache. However, I developed a slight headache upon waking up after a nap during daytime.” Camila
nodded in agreement. “Well, that’s because you have a prolonged course of illness, so recovery will take a longer time too. I will continue to treat you with acupuncture for the
next three days. If you feel significantly better, I’ll prescribe some medicinal decoction for you. The simultaneous treatment would definitely help to boost your recovery.”
