Brian furrowed his brow and glared at Jason. This was a matter from many years ago when he had been searching for the little girl who had saved him when he was a child. He had been relying on his memory to constantly search for a replacement.
He will engage with someone as long as they have some features that resemble the appearance of a little girl he remembers from his memory.
However, the more he engaged in such relationships, the more it intensified his emptiness. Until one day, he met Grace.
âIt seems so, youâve had quite a few ex-girlfriends,â Hadwin said, as if recalling the past. âBack then, I was the only one, but Lina was poisoned during childbirth. If you had that many, maybe you should start investigating and taking precautions now, so you donât end up being targeted again.â
Brianâs thin lips were tightly pursed. These ex-girlfriends were from so many years ago that he had almost forgotten what they looked like.
Now, with Jason bringing it up like this, his heart began to feel uneasy again.
In the evening, after everyone had left, Valda looked at Brianâs silent face and asked, âWhat did you guys talk about? You look so serious now.â
Brian looked at Valda and pursed his lips before speaking after a while. âThey asked me to pay attention to certain. things to prevent any accidents from happening in the future.â
âUnexpected?â Valda paused for a moment.
âIâm afraid you might encounter some danger when giving birth.â
Valda just realized that, come to think of it, it seems like Grace, Lina, and Kyla all had difficult childbirths.
âIâm fine,â Valda said. âThe doctor said my test results were all good, and the babyâs measurements are also good. Anyway, if the babyâs position is really bad or if itâs too big, we can always have a C-section.â
In her opinion, the risk of giving birth to this child was actually quite small. Furthermore, he had arranged for an experienced medical team, so even if there were some dangerous situations, she believed that those experienced medical professionals would be able to save her.
âItâs not just that,â said Brian.
Valda blinked her eyes, âSo what now?â
He hesitated, with a hint of struggle in his eyes.
âWhatâs wrong? If you have something to say, just say it. Is there anything we canât talk about between us?â Valda said.
Brian said, âSo⦠after you hear this, please donât get angry, okay? Youâre pregnant now, so even if you want to be angry or scold me, please wait until the child is born to do so, okay?â
As soon as he spoke, Valdaâs expression became serious and focused. Could it be that there was really something important going on?
âOkay,â she responded.
Brian took hold of Valdaâs hand and held it in his palm.
Valda looked at the other person with a slight surprise, and only then did she realize that he was holding her hand and that his hand was actually quite cold at the moment.
After thinking for a moment, Valda raised her other hand and reached back to grab Brianâs hand. âGo ahead and tell me, Iâm listening. No matter what it is, I wonât get angry.â
âI⦠when I was a child, I met Grace. Grace saved my life. As I grew up, I have been searching for Grace,â he said.
Valdaâs eyes flickered, she already knew all of this.
Does what heâs about to say next have to do with Grace?
