âReally need to thank Lisa who saved you,â Grace exclaimed, âIf you tell me her address, Jason and I can go meet her and express our gratitude.â
âNo need, after I settle down here, I plan to bring Lisa over to live with me. I have already accepted her as my godmother,â said Valda.
âThatâs great, then I can finally meet your lifesaver,â said Grace.
Brian was listening quietly on the side, but he was unusually silent.
After chatting for a while, Grace didnât want to leave yet, but Jason said, âYouâve been talking for a long time, and Valda is tired. Since Valda has already returned, thereâs always tomorrow.â
Grace said, âYes, thereâs still plenty of time ahead. Valda, you rest well. Iâll come see you another day.â
âOkay,â Valda responded.
After leaving Valdaâs apartment, Grace turned to Jason and said, âJason, donât you think thereâs something strange going on between Valda and Brian?â
âWhat do you mean by âstrangeâ?â asked Jason.
âItâs likeâ¦thereâs something between them, like a barrier,â Grace described, feeling that this wasnât quite the reunion she had imagined for Valda and Brian.
âYeah, it does seem like thereâs a layer in between,â said Jason.
âItâs probably because Valda has a lame leg.â
Grace fell silent, suddenly understanding Valdaâs state of mind. After all⦠she had once felt the same way.
âBrian wonât care if Valda has a limp,â said Grace.
If it were someone else, she might not dare to make such a guarantee, but with Brianâs words⦠If you had seen how crazy Brian was because of Valda, then you would understand that this man, as long as Valda is still alive, no matter what Valda becomes, he will want her.
âYes, you know it, I know it, but⦠does Valda know? And even if she does, will she still stand by Brianâs side?â said Jason.
âWhat does that mean?â Grace asked in response.
âBrian is not an ordinary person after all. The Hart familyâs business is mostly in the entertainment industry, so his every move will be noticed by the media. In other words, his life is mostly under the spotlight. If Valda wants to accompany Brian, she is.
destined to stand under the spotlight with him.â
Jason didnât say anything else, but Grace had already realized.
Now that Valda has a limp and needs to stand under the spotlight with Brian, it takes extraordinary courage. Will Valda be able to withstand all the rumors and gossip that may arise?
âJason, I want to help Valda!â Grace said firmly, determined to prevent Valda from being hurt again, no matter what.
âI understand, but some tasks can be helped with, while others.
cannot,â said Jason. âAs for the future, it ultimately depends on Valdaâs own willingness.â
â
However, one thing is certain in the future, the Reed family will always stand behind Valda.
After seeing off Jason and Grace, Valda closed the door and felt a pair of arms wrap around her from behind. Instantly, she was enveloped in a broad embrace.
That is⦠Brian!
