Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 237 I Will Consider It

On the large screen behind, the art displayed was indeed the one drawn by Eileen. It was astonishing at first glance, not only because of its color but also because of its craftsmanship. Without at least three to four decades of experience, it would be impossible for anyone to achieve that level of skill.

Eileen adjusted her breathing. The gazes of the two people sitting in the central seats below the stage were hard for her to ignore. That was her first time seeing Nancy. There was at certain similar and harmonious aura between her and Jasper. They were a perfect match.

After all she had been through, Eileen was no longer flustered. Upon seeing Jasper, she was even more composed than she had imagined.

Casting a casual glance, she took off her black hat. “Sorry, I got caught in traffic and am a bit late.”

The moment everyone laid eyes on Eileen, most of them expressed ‘astonishment.’

From the start, her young age was astonishing, yet her painting skills were on par with those of an art academy graduate. It was important to understand that every year, millions aspired to enter art academies, but only a few hundred were accepted. Interestingly, the judges who made the selection at that time were professors from the art academy.

At that moment, it was her appearance that took one’s breath away. She was dressed simply, but her face was unforgettable.

The magazine that was initially sold like hotcakes only showed a vague side profile of Eileen. In person, she was more beautiful than her cover photo.

A man in his late sixties or early seventies stood below the stage, his hair snowy Blake. He lowered his head to put on his glasses and picked up the microphone. “Before presenting you with the award, may I take the liberty to ask where the inspiration for this painting came

from?”

The host handed the microphone to Eileen. As she prepared to speak for the first time, she seemed somewhat nervous, unsure of how to begin.

As everyone fell silent, waiting for her to speak, Eileen’s heart seemed to calm down as well. “Actually… When I was painting this piece, I was just giving it a try because that… was the darkest and lowest point in my life. I missed a very important competition, which almost knocked me down. I even considered dropping out of school… just taking things as they come. Moreover, the theme of the competition was hope. At that time, I couldn’t see a glimmer of hope at all. However, a friend once told me… Even if one lives in darkness, one should not fear the sunlight. If they are willing, that beam of light can become their salvation. Hold on to the light, and miracles of hope can happen. The more impossible it
