Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 182

Christopher wasn’t aware I had made my way back as he was in a deep slumber when I reached the ward. The doctor told me he would be sleeping for quite some time since he had just taken pills that would induce sleep.

I arranged the things I brought along with me and took a seat next to him. Although he had a disheveled appearance after spending a few days in the ward, the fact remained he was a handsome man.

After all, he was seriously injured because of me and his comrades. He had sacrificed himself for a great cause, including keeping me safe.

I couldn’t suppress the urge to turn the memorable moments into a keepsake of mine. Thus, I made up my mind to turn it into something tangible—a painting.

Someday in the future, I could show those around me the man I was proud of with my chest held high. I could share his tales with our descendants, including the great qualities he had as a righteous man.

As soon as I had the easel ready, I unpacked the brushes and paints Christopher bought me. Staring at him in the eyes, I felt inspired to finish the painting because of the idea that came flooding out.

Oil painting would take a long time to complete. As it had been a long time since I last painted anything, I thought those skills were no longer accessible. However, I was wrong—I hesitated no more and started painting once I retrieved the brush.

Soon, I had the outlines of Christopher’s face drafted. Immersed in finishing the painting, I wasn’t even aware he had been roused from his sleep, staring at me in the eyes.

Once I had his jawline outlined, I caught him tilting his head. Thus, I instructed, “Stop moving around and close your eyes!”

Seconds after I returned to my senses, I put my brushes aside and shot daggers at Christopher. “Hey! Are you trying to mess with me again?”

He chuckled and reached over, grasping my hand to bring me closer to him. Placing my hand on his cheek, he said, “I just don’t want to interrupt you when you’re in the middle of something. Speaking of which, it’s going to cost a fortune to hire me. Are you ready to compensate me in return for my service?”
