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. âSouth, come here.â 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. âThat must be Brian.â 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.
Camilaâs voice trembled in shock. âBrian-" Silas abruptly rose to his full height and approached
them. âWhat happened?â Brian reassured her, âIt's nothing; don't worry. I only scratched my arm.â
Camila did not persist with the interrogation, but rather collaborated with Silas to help Brian into the
house and for him to have a seat. âI'll get the medical kit for you.â
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. âGo back to your room first if you are afraid.â South
snorted loudly. âWhat is so scary about this? I've seen injuries that are worse than yours.â Brian burst
out in laughter. âWell, that's great then.â Silas wore a dark expression and his tone sounded somber,
âWhat happened?â Brian didn't want to explain, so he mumbled vaguely, âIt's nothing; I scratched
my arm by accident.â Silas retorted, âYou can't even lie to my son with that excuse!â Brian inhaled
before explaining, âSomeone 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.â Silas was stumped for a moment. âDid you drive yourself here?â
Brian replied, âDo you want more people to know that I'm here?â Silas answered, âSo what if the
others know about this? What is there to hide?"
Brian glared. âYou might not be scared, but what about the mother and son?â
At the mention of Camila and South, Silas suddenly appeared vulnerable. âI will send
people to protect them as well.â Just as the two of them chatted, Camila took a medical kit out from
the room. âLet me have a look.â 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?â : Brian burst out in laughter, âThat's right!
Since I have a gash on that arm, I'll need one on this side too.â 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. âIn 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.â 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 sheâs not joking with me. Therefore, he answered obediently,
âDonât worry, this won't happen
again.â
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. âIt's done. Let's have dinner.â Brian
answered, âI already ate before coming over. You all should go ahead and eat without me.â
Camila stated, âJust eat less if you already had something to eat earlier. I'll perform acupuncture on
you after dinner. Are you feeling better?â Brian remarked, âI 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.â Camila nodded in agreement. âWell, 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.â
