She blinked. “Do I need to apply ointment for this?”
He said, “Do you have any ointment for blood stasis and pain
relief?”
“I do, but you don’t need medicine for such injuries-
He interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. “Where is
it?” he asked, staring at her.
Valda Theller could only take out the ointment obediently. Brian
opened the ointment cap and applied it for her.
As he smeared the ointment on the red marks on her wrist with
his fingertips, Valda Theller felt a strange sensation spreading
through her body. Her heartbeat quickened.
‘What’s wrong with me? All he’s doing is applying ointment for me. Why did my heartbeat quicken?
‘I mustn’t and can’t fall for this man! There’s no way it’s gonna
work out between us. He loves another woman.’
Valda Theller tried hard to warn herself not to care about Brian.
When he finally finished applying the ointment, she quickly
withdrew her hand. “Have a seat while I prepare dinner.”

She could not wait to leave, but Brian stopped her. “You can’t
make dinner when you’ve just applied ointment on your hand. Let
me do it.”
Valda Theller widened her eyes in surprise. ‘I didn’t hear it wrong,
did I? He wants to… make dinner?’
Then, Valda Theller saw Brian take off his jacket, roll up his shirt
sleeves, and walk into the kitchen.
His long fingers opened the plastic bag containing vegetables she had bought from the supermarket. He took the vegetables out one
by one.
He washed the vegetables, cut them, then cooked them… Valda
Theller found that Brian was indeed cooking.
Once the food was ready, Valda Theller spoke with slight embarrassment, “I’m sorry for troubling you today.”
“I don’t think it’s too much trouble,” he said.
She lowered her head and began digging in. For some reason, she
felt awkward facing him.
Maybe what had happened in the hospital today made her understand her position more clearly.
Brian’s eyes glimmered as he watched Valda Theller’s face almost

glued to the bowl. He could feel her estrangement from him.
He caused all this.

Jason said everyone could tell that he did not love her. Jason and
Kyla could tell that. Was he going to let Grace realize that too?
Brian felt a sudden pain in his heart as he recalled Grace’s pale
and weak appearance in the hospital bed.
He did not want Grace to have any mood swings again. He could
not let Grace learn he had no feelings for Valda Theller.
“Can you be a real couple with me?” His hoarse voice suddenly
rang out.
Valda Theller suddenly stopped eating and looked up blankly at
the person in front of her. “What… do you mean?”
Brian murmured, “Ad I said, let’s become a real couple. We’ll stop
acting and date seriously.”
She blinked. “Why are you… suddenly saying that?” She could not understand why he would suddenly want to turn a fake relationship into a real one. “You don’t love me, right?”
He said he wanted them to be a real couple, but there was no affection in his eyes.
“I don’t want Grace to know we’re fake. She can’t afford to have any mood swings right now,” he said.
It suddenly dawned on her. Her eyelashes quivered slightly as she looked down slowly. It turned out that he made such a sudden decision because of Grace.
