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 Gianna 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, Gianna’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

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 Gianna and South,
Silas suddenly appeared vulnerable. “I will send people to protect them as well.” Just as the two of
them chatted, Gianna 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.” Gianna 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 joking with me. Therefore,

That was surprisingly easy! He always says that and I’ve heard it so many times that I cant 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.” Gianna 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.” Gianna nodded in agreement “Well, that’s
because you have a prolonged course of illness, so recovery will take a longer time too.! 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.”
