Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 247 Anything for You (Part Two)

"Yes, I got the news just now. Miss Becky will be in A City in four days." The body guard he had hired for Becky answered.

Eric took a sip from his soda before asking,"How are her eyes?"

"The treatment didn't work." The voice from the phone sounded detached.

Eric was not surprised. When Eric spoke to Dr. Felix, he had already been told that Becky had very little chance to recover. Her case was rare, the doctor had said.

"Dr. Felix is still trying other methods but if Ms. Becky is returning to the city then..." The voice trailed off.

"Tell Dr. Felix to continue doing his research in Netherlands." Eric said calmly. His eyes were towards the sea.

He was thinking about how his brother would feel about Becky's condition - her beautiful eyes now sick, needing treatment.

Eric didn't know what to feel. He put his phone down as he walked towards the beach chair, placing cola can on the table. Not five seconds has passed when his phone started ringing again.

His phone's screen read: Brian. Eric let out a small laugh before answering the call,"I was just about to call you."

"Huh?"

"I'm almost done with all the work here in QY island. Aaron has stopped all criticism from coming in - the government's and the people's. Quite fast, actually. Plus Philip missing..." Eric added, rather stiffly. "... has made people a bit angry," he finished.

Eric knew Brian pretty well. He knew the lengths Brian would go to if someone didn't make him happy but he didn't know Brian was capable of so much worse simply for a woman. That was definitely something to think about.

"When will you come back to the city?" Brian changed the topic. He wasn't interested in anything if it wasn't business.

Eric shrugged his shoulders. He could tell something wasn't right - 'This couldn't just all be merely coincidence, ' Eric thought to himself. "What's the matter?" He asked instead.

"I need some files from the Dragon island database." Brian said blatantly.

"That's not allowed?" Eric frowned.

While everyone knew that Brian was from the Long family - practically royalty - he was still not entitled to any access to Dragon island database. After all, Richie - Brian's father, had split from the National Congress when he left the Island. The only way for Brian to win back his access was to join the congress as a member of the Long Family.

"That's why I'm asking you," Brian said, plainly,"You can get into the database. I can't. But you can." He said all of this as if it was no big deal.

"You're going to get me into trouble," Eric insisted. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"Well, you should know that if you don't do this for me... I'm just going to get the database hacked and say it was you," Brian's voice was smooth and clear as if he wasn't threatening a person, in this case, Eric.

Eric's face turned into a shadow - as if all the blood had been flushed out. "Don't do this, Brian" Eric said through gritted teeth.

"Well, you don't leave me a choice. You have until tomorrow morning. Either you show up or you don't," Brian said calmly.

"Brian..."

Brian had hung up the phone before Eric could finish what he was saying.

Eric looked at his phone in disbelief, sneer to himself, then cursed in a low voice before he ordered to Lenny who was enjoying this drama,"Get the plane ready. We are coming back to A City." Eric actually couldn't believe what happened.

"Yes, master." Lenny answered with a sexy smile. Then she called the airport to get ready.

It didn't take Eric a lot of time to return to A City. Richie had imposed strict regulations over the overall database of Dragon Island after it was hacked into by Frank. And since Frank went to power, the database was even more safely guarded to prevent what he had done from happening again.

If Brian hacked into the database and blamed Eric for it, well, Eric would be dead meat. While Eric wasn't exactly afraid of his father, Frank, it still said something that his father was practically the ruler of all of Dragon Island. He took this very seriously and applied no nepotism when it came to business and politics. As he was running for the position soon, he couldn't risk the political career it would bring if any scandal came into light.

Eric arrived at the city around midnight. He hadn't been here in a while and had forgotten how cold it could get here. He was shivering as he stepped out into the snow - this was definitely not sunny QY Island. He cursed Brian as his teeth chattered from the cold.

The snow made it a little difficult to drive - it took him about two hours to get to the villa. He felt bad for waking up John to open the door - he gave John a smile and John waved him off as if to say "No big

deal." Eric was tempted to jump into and occupy Brian's bed - it was white and big and cozy. The soft bed overshadowed his guilt for John.

Eric climbed the stairs leading to the second floor where Brian's bedroom was. He flicked the light switch on - no Brian, no beddings even.

"I had a feeling you would arrive around this hour and I knew that you would want to sleep on my bed so I asked Lisa to change the beddings. But, well, she only did half of the job,"

Brian's cold voice came from behind. Eric pursed his lips at the sound of his voice, he turned around to find a fully well-dressed Brian,"Wow, how considerate," he said sarcastically.

"Well, I am your brother, after all," Brian piped, proud of himself. "Wow, I'm surprised you still have so much energy. I thought you'd be dead tired. If that's the case then follow me. Let's go to the study room."
