âI gotta go. Iâll bring Valda to see you next time,â Brian said as he got up.
âOkay,â said Grace.
Just as Brian was about to reach the ward door, Grace suddenly said, âBrian, when you came to the hospital yesterday, Valda⦠didnât misunderstand anything, did she?â
Brian chuckled. âShe knows I used to like you, but she also knows sheâs the one I like now!â
âThatâs good.â Grace was relieved. âValda is a good woman.â
âYeah, I know,â Brian said and walked out of the ward.
Grace looked at the ward door, which opened and closed again. She was somewhat entranced.
âWhatâs the matter?â Jasonâs voice rang as he handed another piece of apple to her lips.
âNothing. I just hope Brian can be happy,â murmured Grace.
âEverything will turn out as you wish. Believe me,â said Jason.
Grace chuckled and looked at her husband. âAre you sure?â
His deep peach blossom eyes were bright. âYes, Iâm sure.â
Even if it did not, he would try to make it turn out the way she wanted!
Brian walked out of the hospital, took out his phone, and called Valda Theller. âWhere are you?â
âIâm in my studio,â she said.
âAre you busy with work?â
âYeah.â
âWill I be disturbing you if I come over?â he asked, suddenly wanting to see her and hear her voice.
âJust come over. But Iâll be busy with my assistant and you might get a little bored,â she said.
âIt doesnât matter,â Brian replied and drove to Valda Thellerâs studio.
Valda Theller and her two assistants were in the studio.
The two assistants had seen Brian before. They were now looking Chapter 2749 curiously at him.
Valda Theller made Brian a cup of tea and said, âSit wherever you like. I still have something to work on.â
âOkay, go on,â said Brian.
Valda Theller returned to her work desk and continued drawing with her two assistants.
Brian sat on the couch and held the tea as his phoenix eyes looked at Valda Theller not far away.
She was as absorbed in her drawing as she had been when she was drawing him when he modeled for her.
Her two assistants glanced at him now and then, but she did not. Her attention was always on her drawing, and anyone could see how serious she was.
Brian smiled. Few people were as focused as Valda Theller.
She must be this focused because she loved her career.
âCan I fall in love with this woman?
âCan I fall in love again after loving Grace? Or⦠will I still not fall for her even if I donât hate her and even if I appreciate her sometimes?â
