Shane raised his head from the computer, revealing his dashing face.
He didn’t look at her phone. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and remarked, “I know. She is extremely talented in design. A trivial competition like this isn’t much of a challenge for her.”
“You really are confident in her abilities,” Shane commented with an awkward smile.
Shane returned his attention to his computer. “I’m not the only one. Her talent is good enough to inspire confidence from everyone.”
“Is that so?” Jacqueline’s gaze darkened and didn’t say another word.
After a while, when she saw that Natalie’s design was almost finished and all that was left was to color it, she took a screenshot while Shane wasn’t looking. After that, she flipped aside her blanket.
“Shane,” Jacqueline blushed as she called out to Shane shyly.
Shane looked at her. “What is it?”
“I want to go to the bathroom.” Jacqueline slid her phone back into her hospital gown.
Shane saw her action but didn’t think too much of it. After putting his laptop aside, he helped her out of bed and into the bathroom. “Will you be fine by yourself? If not, I’ll get the nurse to help you.”
“It’s alright.” Jacqueline waved with a gentle smile. “Although I’m still weak, I can manage this.”
Just as she spoke, she closed the bathroom door.
After a few minutes, she came out and Shane helped her back to her bed.
The moment she settled down, she retrieved her phone from her pocket and continued watching the live stream.
Back at the competition venue, Natalie was coloring her design.
As if her hands were dancing across the paper, she managed to do so at lightning speed.
The more progress she made, the wider her smile became.
When Jasmine saw how confident Natalie looked, she was overwhelmed by pressure and broke out in cold sweat.
