points?”
He looked at her, but didn’t know how to answer. Even he himself was not sure how much he liked her.
“Valda Theller, I…”
Her finger pressed against his lips, stopping him from saying what he was about to say.

No matter how many points are still missing, I want to give it a try and see if we can fill it up. Brian Hart, would you like to join me in filling up these points? If…you are still willing, then let’s continue walking and see if you can fall in love with me in this lifetime! I want to know the result!
On his lips was the warmth of her fingertips. In this moment, the woman spoke to him with a resolute expression and said these words.
“I would love to!” He suddenly hugged her, burying his head in the crook of her neck, breathing in her scent. This time, the feeling of embracing her was so reassuring. “Valda, let’s move forward together. I will fall in love with you, I’m sure of it!”
She opened her arms and carefully hugged him back, making a soft “Mmm” sound from her mouth.
Brian, do you know how much I love you?
Do you know that standing in front of you today, I need to have a lot of confidence in the future?
Perhaps the future is full of obstacles, but she still wants to give it another try.
Because she also believed that he liked her so much…
She blushed for a moment and bit her lip slightly.
“Do you really want to see?” his voice echoed in the room.
“Well…I have seen it before,” she muttered.
“I’m afraid you won’t like it, after all, this isn’t something that looks good,” he said.
“I just want to see how it is now, can you show me?” she said.
So he finally took off his shirt completely, and suddenly, the wound on his waist and abdomen appeared before her eyes once again.
She has seen this wound many times, watching as the doctor carefully stitched it up and the nurse tended to it every day. Now, it doesn’t look as glaring as it did at first.
The color of the stitches on the wound seems to have darkened a bit, and it has already scabbed over.
“Do you really not need any medicine for this injury?” Valda leaned in close to his face and stared at his wound, asking.
“No need, actually the wound is already healing and all we have to do is wait for the scab to fall off. The stitches used to close the wound are also self-dissolving, so there’s no need to remove them.” He said.
She instinctively wanted to reach out her finger to touch his wound, but then she quickly withdrew her hand, apparently it but not daring to.
He saw her concern and immediately took her hand, placing it on his wound. “It has already scabbed over, so even if you touch it like this, it won’t hurt.”
On her fingertips, there was a thin scab. “Are you really not in pain anymore?”
“It doesn’t hurt,” he said.
“I don’t know if this scar will be very noticeable in the future,” she murmured. This scar on his body was like a beautiful piece of art with a crack in it.
And this crack, it was caused by her and no one else.
“If you think it looks ugly, then after a few days when it scabs over, I can go get a scar removal treatment,” Brian said. “But personally, I quite like it.”
“Do you like it?” She blinked her eyes in surprise.
“For men, getting injured is like a badge of honor,” he said, slowly lowering his head and gently resting his forehead against hers. “Fortunately, you didn’t get hurt that day.”
Fortunately, the knife landed on him instead. If it had landed on her, she would have been in a lot of pain.
Valda was stunned, her face filled with his breath, their foreheads touching and their noses almost touching each other.
So intimate!
This man took a knife for her, yet he still said “fortunately”.
How could she not love him, with him being like this!
She couldn’t help but raise her hand, wrap it around his neck, and kiss his lips.
His body trembled slightly, then he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back passionately.
I’m not sure how long they kissed, but when Valda wanted to pull away satisfied, he grabbed the back of her head. “Valda, not enough yet…”
As his voice trailed off, his lips once again landed on hers, as if wanting to savor every inch of sweetness and not willing to let go.
“Um…” Valda passively endured the kiss.
At this moment, his kiss was even more dominant and intense than before, making her almost unable to catch her breath.
She felt dizzy and when the kiss ended she was panting and her
“I really don’t want to let you go like this,” he murmured, his fingers lightly touching her lips, his phoenix eyes stained with some kind of desire.
Valda’s face turned even redder… “You, you still have an injury.
The doctor said you can’t do strenuous exercise,” she quickly said.
But as soon as the words were out, she wanted to bite her own tongue.
Oh my god, what did she just say? It sounded like she was implying that if he wasn’t injured, they could do “strenuous exercise”!
“Well, not now, we’ll have to wait until later,” he replied seriously.
Boom!
She felt like her face was about to boil over.
“I…I’m going back first. You, you rest well!” Her face turned red as she spoke, and she wanted to turn around to get her own bag.
But as she took only one step forward, his hand suddenly pulled her closer into his embrace. “Don’t go, stay with me tonight…please?”
“Oh? But you…”
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything. I just want you to stay with me, just to keep me company. I won’t do anything to you.” He leaned me again. I’m afraid it’s all just my imagination because everything happened so suddenly, it doesn’t feel real.”
Even though he’s holding her like this right now, and she’s gently snuggling in his arms, that unreal feeling still lingers.
Is it because he really wants to be with her? It seems like only when he’s with her, he can find redemption and truly relax.
She bit her lower lip slightly and after a while, she softly said
“okay”.
Although Valda didn’t bring any clean clothes, Brian has plenty here.
During the time she lived in this villa before, Brian had someone buy a lot of clothes in her size.
However, when she left, she only took her own clothes and left all the ones he bought here.
It fits perfectly now.
Due to his wound, Brian is unable to take a shower or bath for the time being and can only clean himself by wiping.
This task was originally meant to be done by a caregiver, but Brian looked at her with his beautiful eyes and said, “Do you really want another woman to help me bathe?”
Valda hesitated for a moment. She really didn’t want to do it herself. “But…you could also have a male servant help you with that,” she said. There were male servants in the villa as well.
“Are men safe?” he asked in response.
“…” She paused, well, she had to admit that his face was indeed attractive to both men and women.
“Do you really not want to help me?” Her phoenix-like eyes lifted slightly. When those originally indifferent and distant eyes revealed a look of longing, it seemed as if refusing was a heinous crime.
Valda was completely helpless and surrendered completely under his piercing gaze.
Blushing, she wrung out the towel and gently wiped him down.
Luckily, he was still wearing tight pants, which allowed her to wipe him without having to close her eyes.
What’s there to be embarrassed about? She said to herself in her mind. In the summer, she had seen men without shirts on before. In the past, during the summer nights, the uncles and older men in the neighborhood liked to walk around in their undershorts with no shirts on. She never blushed then!
Brian was quite cooperative, letting her do whatever she needed to do.
“Are you shy?” Brian’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Huh?” Her body suddenly stiffened. “Why do you ask?”
“Because from earlier until now, you haven’t been able to look at my face.” He said.
She pursed her lips. Okay, she really couldn’t look at his face, because if she did, it would only make her more confused and unable to concentrate.
“Yes…I’m shy.” She honestly admitted, speeding up her movements, just wanting to finish this job quickly.
“If I said that I’m also shy, would you feel more comfortable?” He said.
She was taken aback and suddenly lifted her head, looking at his face in surprise. “You…you’re also shy?” How could it be?
Someone like him, how could he be shy!
And at this moment, his expression is calm, his skin color is normal, and he doesn’t look even a little bit embarrassed, okay!
“Are you kidding me?” she said, feeling like she had been deceived by him.
“I’m not joking, I’m really shy,” he said seriously, then took her hand and placed it on his heart. “Can you feel it? It’s beating very here…”
She paused for a moment, and with the palm of her hand, she could feel the subtle undulations beneath the skin and bones.
This feeling can only be sensed when the heart is beating rapidly. It cannot be felt when the heart is calm.
So, what you’re saying is… he was telling the truth?!
Valda stared at the man in front of her, “You’re really… shy.”
