Brandon was holding a basket of fruits and a bouquet of flowers when he entered the ward. He was talking to Dr. Yuri who also came to check Bianca's condition.
Brandon and Yuri didn't expect that Bianca had so many visitors today. The four ladies were also surprised to see the newcomers, especially Brandon.
They were just talking about him and now he suddenly appeared together with Dr. Yuri. Brandon smiled at them awkwardly while waving his head.
"I think I came at the wrong time. You are having a girl's bonding here," Brandon said, greeting everyone.
Dr. Yuri also greeted the ladies. Her eyes stopped at Sophia. They exchanged smiles at each other before Yuri checked Bianca's condition.
'She's here. Is Matthew around as well?' Yuri pondered to herself.
Meanwhile, Alveena interrogated Brandon. They could see that Brandon was being so thoughtful by visiting Bianca and bringing some flowers.
"Brandon, how did you know that Bianca is here?" Alveena asked him.
Sophia and Zhen-Zhen also looked at Brandon, waiting for his response.
Brandon smiled at them sheepishly before putting the basket of fruits and the bouquet of flowers on the bedside table.
"Clifford told me this morning about what happened to Bianca so I decided to drop by and visit her to make sure that she's just fine."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrandon was quite surprised when Clifford informed him what happened to Bianca. He already asked Clifford about her condition over the phone.
The truth was he was forced by Clifford, commanding him to visit Bianca. He didn't know why Clifford was acting like that. He told Brandon to see Bianca but he sounded annoyed and irritated while he was talking on the phone.
Brandon just ended up following his order. But he was glad that he did since he was worried about Bianca as well, but not as worried as Clifford.
While they were talking, Sophia stood up and picked up the bouquet. She planned on transferring the flower to the flower base as she also tried to avoid Yuri.
Sophia still felt uncomfortable around Yuri since she's the reason why Matthew and she had the first argument last night. She also felt guilty for being jealous without valid reason.
Sophia's action of avoidance didn't escape Zhen-Zhen's observant eyes. She could tell that Sophia was bothered by Yuri's presence.
'Hmm, I think I should talk to her later,' Zhen-Zhen made a mental note as she watched Sophia moving across the room. She also stood up to help Sophia in what she was doing.
On the other hand, Alveena continued talking to Brandon and Dr. Yuri.
"Have you known each other? We saw you talking to each other when entering the room."
Brandon and Yuri exchanged glances with one another before nodding their heads in response to Alveena's query.
"Eh, is that true? How did you know each other?" Bianca also asked them with intrigue.
"We met abroad. I treated him before. He is my patient," Yuri was the one who answered Bianca.
"Eh, what happened to Brandon?" Alveena couldn't help but ask for more detail.
Brandon scratched his face, contemplating whether to tell the girls or not.
"I got injured during an accident in a race car event. I experienced severe chest pain because of the accident. I even broke some of my ribs."
Alveena and Bianca were taken aback when they heard that. They had never imagined that this 'happy-go-lucky' Brandon had already experienced a near life and death situation.
Yuri smiled as she recalled how stubborn Brandon was when she was treating him before. He didn't listen to her advice as his doctor.
"He's the most naughty patient I had, that's why I can still remember him. I had a hard time treating him since he refused to listen to me. I had to scold him many times. I even cried because of him." Yuri informed the ladies, complaining about Brandon's behavior.
Brandon felt embarrassed. He didn't expect that Yuri would complain to the ladies about his behavior.
"Hey, that was a long time ago. I already changed. Please erase those bad memories of me in your mind." Brandon tried to defend himself.
Bianca and Alveena giggled as they could imagine Yuri scolding Brandon.
"Dr. Yuri, what did he do to make you cry?" Alveena asked Yuri curiously.
Yuri was about to tell them when Brandon covered her mouth quickly, stopping her from speaking.
"Hey, please don't ask her. And don't tell them about it. I already regretted what I did!" Brandon said nervously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe didn't want Alveena and Bianca to hear what happened between Yuri and him. He would feel embarrassed.
Bianca: "..."
Alveena: "..."
They were shocked seeing how Brandon suddenly covered Dr. Yuri's mouth.
'Are they really close for him to do that to a doctor while in front of us?' Alveena was watching Brandon in disbelief. Even Bianca was speechless.
Because of his actions, Alveena and Bianca became more curious about them.
"Hey Brandon! I think you are going overboard here. How dare you cover Dr. Yuri's mouth in front of us. She is a skilled doctor here. Know your position," Alveena scolded him.
Brandon immediately released Yuri as he realized his mistake. He was not supposed to do that.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Yuri… I mean Dr. Yuri," Brandon immediately apologized to her while bowing his head.
'Damn! I look so dumb and stupid in front of them. Behave, Brandon! Get a hold of yourself. You didn't come here just to embarrass yourself," Brandon also scolded himself inwardly.
Yuri just laughed at him. She was also surprised by Brandon's action. She assumed that Brandon had a crush on either of the two women there, that's why he didn't want them to hear what he did to her before.
"It's alright, Mr. Cullens. I understand if you want to maintain your good image in front of these lovely ladies," Yuri spoke up meaningfully while giving a teasing look.
"Hey, Brandon, spill the beans! Tell us what happened?!" Alveena kept asking him. She wanted to satisfy her curiosity.
"Come on, tell us," Bianca also chimed in, supporting Alveena.
"It's nothing. I just bullied her," Brandon said before pulling Yuri away from them. "Dr. Yuri is still doing rounds with her other patients. Let's not keep her here."
Brandon was separating Yuri from the two ladies as they came out of the ward. Alveena and Bianca just watched them with amusement as they vanished from their sight.
