In the end, Grace took a step forward and hugged Valda tightly. âValda, youâre finally back! Iâm so happy youâre back!â
As her words trailed off, sobs followed, and Grace couldnât help but cry as she held onto Valda.
Valda slowly raised her hand and hugged Grace back, saying âYes, Iâm back, Grace. Donât cry. Iâm here now, arenât I?â
But these words from her mouth made Grace cry even more sadly.
Because she clearly wasnât okay, she was hurt so badly!
âIâm sorry, Iâm sorryâ¦â Graceâs tears fell even harder as she kept apologizing, âValda, Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry for causing you so much pain, Iâm sorryâ¦â
âYou didnât do anything wrong to me,â Valda comforted. âGrace, we were both victims. If anyone should be sorry, itâs Whitney and Phoebe. But they have already faced legal consequences.â
Perhaps itâs because of Valdaâs kindness that Brian fell in love with her. Grace thought to herself that Valdaâs kindness is rare, and it may not immediately attract others, but it slowly seeps. into oneâs heart through daily interactions, and then becomes indispensable.
The closer you get, the more attracted you become.
âBy the way, how is Jasmine doing?â Valda changed the subject.
âSheâs doing well, Iâll bring her to see you next time,â Grace said, releasing her arms from around Valda.
Valda raised her hand and wiped away the tears from Graceâs face, âItâs okay, Grace. You really donât have to feel like you owe me anything.â As she said this, her gaze also turned towards Jason and Brian standing beside her, âNone of you owe me anything, really, I donât want everyone to always feel like they owe me something.â
âAnyway, the fact is that you saved Jasmine. So, the Reed family owes you a favor. If you need any help from us in the future, just ask,â said Jason seriously.
Valda looked at Jason, hesitated for a while, and then smiled and said, âOkay, thank you.â
âI should be the one saying thank you,â said Jason.
âValda, can you tell me what happened to you this past year? What happened to you and why couldnât we find you? How did you come back?â Grace had many questions she wanted to ask.
Valda didnât hide anything and told them everything that happened in the past year. Of course, she heard about what happened during her coma from Lisa, and the two months after she regained consciousness were the days she truly experienced with consciousness.
Although she was trying to downplay everything as much as possible, Grace still felt extremely uncomfortable listening to it all.
