Chapter 3083: Chapter 3084

“I… just have a limp in my leg, I can still walk on my own. I…

can walk by myself!” she said, not wanting to become more dependent on others.

She now needs to be more independent and strong than before.

“I know you can walk, I just want to make it easier for you,” Brian explained.

“But this kind of ease can’t last forever. No one can carry another person forever, so people must learn to be independent, especially… someone like me,” Valda said.

“Why not?” he argued. “I can carry you forever, Valda. If you don’t want to be independent, it’s okay to never be independent. I can be your support.” He said urgently.

He felt like there was a gap between them that kept growing.

And her voice echoed in his ears – “But Brian, I want to be independent. I don’t want to rely on you anymore!”

In an instant, he felt like an insurmountable chasm had opened up between them!

Brian stood at the bathroom door, feeling complicated. The sound of running water came from inside, Valda was taking a shower.

Before today, he thought that when she reappeared in front of him. one day, he would be extremely happy and they would be happy together.

But he didn’t expect it to be like this.

He loved her, but she didn’t believe it!

He thought the biggest obstacle between them was his inability to fall in love with her, but now he knows that the biggest obstacle is her lack of belief.

When Valda hobbled out of the bathroom with her crutches, Brian approached her and said, “I’ll have the bathroom renovated to make it more convenient for you.”

“No need, I… don’t plan on staying here for long,” Valda said. “I still want to go back to my own apartment.”

Brian frowned, “Don’t you want to live with me?”

Valda pursed her lips, “I still want to go back to my own apartment. That way, I’ll feel more comfortable.”

“Are you uncomfortable with me?” Brian asked.

She lowered her head gently and whispered softly, “We’ve been apart for a year, longer than we were together. I think I’ll be more comfortable alone.”

His thin lips almost straightened into a line. At this moment, every word she said was like a sharp sword, cutting into his heart and causing him pain. “Then who will take care of you?” he asked.

“I don’t need anyone to take care of me. I can take care of myself. I… I’m just lame, not incapable of taking care of myself!” A hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.

“I didn’t mean it that way, I’m just worried that it might be inconvenient for you to live alone,” he explained.

“Don’t worry, I’ve done it before… I came to Emerald City by hitchhiking alone and stayed in a hotel for several days, and everything was fine,” said Valda.

Brian suddenly froze, his dark eyes fixed on Valda. “You’ve been staying alone in the hotel for several days?”

Valda suddenly realized that she had let slip, and immediately bit her lip with her teeth, a look of confusion flashing across her face.
