Molly didn't expect him to suddenly act this way. Startled, she subconsciously took two steps back, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Well, it's fine. I hurt myself by accident."
"Really? Not hurt by anyone?"
Vaughn stared at her closely, his tone imperceptibly sinking.
Molly smiled. "Yeah. It's true. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shepard."
Vaughn studied her expression to confirm she was not lying and then nodded.
In a warm voice, he said, "Sorry for startling you just now. I was worried about seeing the bandage on your neck. I hope you dont mind."
"No, not at all."
Molly shook her head, secretly relieved inside.
Vaughn asked again, "Do you have time? I’d like to buy you a cup of coffee to return your favor of helping me pick out the book."
Molly hastily declined, "It's fine and just a favor, Mr. Shepard. N
Vaughn smiled. "You're Selon's friend, and you went with our family for the charity medical mission in Domster, which makes a friend of mine too, so please just call me Vaughn."
"Well..."
Molly hesitated, a little surprised.
This man didn't seem so cold and aloof as he looked.
His courteous attitude made it hard for her to refuse.
She thought for a moment and then agreed. "Alright then, Vaughn."
Vaughn's lips hooked up, satisfied. "Then do I have the honor to have a cup of coffee with you?"
Molly smiled. "Yesh, with pleasure."
Soon, they found a nearby cafe and sat down.
After ordering, Molly sized up Vaughn, her eyes unblinking.
Vaughn felt her gaze and couldn't help looking over. Raising his brows, he smiled. "Dr. May, why are you looking at me like that?"
Molly was a little embarrassed. She shook her head and said, "Well, I was just wondering if I'd seen you somewhere before."
Vaughn paused and laughed. "If I didn't know you were married, I might think you were hitting on me."
Molly was stunned, somewhat mortified. "No offense, but you really look familiar to me."
"Is that so?"
Vaughn remained composed. "Most likely in Domster. At the start of that free clinic, I delivered a lot of supplies and went along in person several times. Maybe we have met once at that time."
"Maybe."
Molly frowned, still feeling that wasn't the case.
But Vaughn's explanation seemed reasonable.
Except for that trip to Domster, there weren't many opportunities for her to meet with the Shepards. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Quickly discarding her doubts, she changed the subject to ask about the Shepard family.
"I didn't have a chance to ask Selon when I met him yesterday, so I'd like to take the chance to ask you. Did you get on the island because something happened to your family?"
Vaughn glanced lightly over at Rhett.
After yesterday's incident, Rhett stayed close to Molly today.
Obviously, he was being vigilant!
Molly noticed his look and glanced at Rhett too. Then she realized it was inconvenient for him to talk here.
She frowned in annoyance and apologized, "Sorry, I brought it up at the wrong time."
