Chapter 1515: Chapter 1515: Whimper Whimper Whimper
Cherry stared at the painting silently for a while and said, “If there’s really sothing wrong with this painting, it wouldn’t be possible for the couple who often interact with it to be unhard.”
“Hmm.” Gavin Graves nodded slightly, “I plan to visit her ho after we get back and see if I can find any clues…”
Cherry imdiately said, “I want to go too!”
Gavin Graves smiled, ruffling her hair, “Okay, we’ll go together.”
Cherry rehung the oil painting on the wall, then sat down next to Gavin Graves, admiring from a distance, “Not considering the curse, the painting is quite beautiful.”
“Naturally.” Gavin Graves said blandly, “Moissanite is a well-known dostic artist, skilled in historical, religious culture and other thes. His works are popular both at ho and abroad.”
Cherry, unacquainted, looked up and asked him, “Who?”
Gavin Graves lowered his head, lightly pecked her lips, “Moissanite, my friend’s husband, both are painters.”
“Why would he paint such a painting? It’s so strange.” Cherry leaned against Gavin Graves’s chest, her gaze fixed on the painting.
Gavin Graves said, “The na of his painting is Kalinga. Kalinga was an ancient country from the third century BC, later destroyed by Ashoka of the Maurya Dynasty. Look at those elephants, they are Kalinga’s war elephants.”
As he spoke, he paused, furrowing his brow, “However… the battle of Kalinga is only sporadically recorded on Ashoka’s stone inscriptions, and apart from that, there’s almost no related historical material. The painting’s characters’ clothing and architectural details are so vivid, I wonder where he found the information.”
Cherry quietly leaned in his arms for a while, then suddenly said, “Gavin Graves, I want to see your right hand.”
At her words, Gavin Graves took off his glove, revealing the Octopus. They were currently full and content, andering on the skin surface, relatively peaceful.
Cherry confird this is the state of the evil creature fully matured, just like those on the elephants in the painting.
If they hadn’t grown and matured, even if Gavin Graves saw this painting again, he likely wouldn’t associate it with himself. After all, no one would deliberately rember an accidental participation in an art exhibition, much less think that just a touch would lead to a curse parasitizing him.
Cherry held Gavin Graves’s ink-dyed right hand in silence for a mont and said to him, “Actually, I have an idea… but I’m not sure if it can succeed, why not give it a try now?”
Gavin Graves didn’t understand, “What?”
“Do you know about pulling turnips?” Cherry’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him, “Before the turnips grow properly, what you pull are just leaves. You pull one and grow another; you pull one and grow another, never finishing. But once the turnips are grown, you can pull them out together with the leaves.”
She lowered her gaze onto Gavin Graves’s hand, “I want to try… to see if this ti we can pull them all out in one breath!”
Gavin Graves listened, stunned for a mont.
He was an ordinary person, transford into a living creature devourer by this thing. Being able to remove it would undoubtedly be wonderful, but now, suddenly getting rid of them… inevitably felt sowhat unreal.
He thought about it and asked Cherry, “Could it be dangerous?”
“I’m very capable!” Cherry said, “The little ghosts I’ve eaten, each is bigger than it!”
After saying that, she seed to think of sothing, her expression beca hesitant as she looked at him sheepishly, “But… if I fail, will you drive away?”
Her cautious deanor reflected in Gavin Graves’s eyes, making his heart swell with a bittersweet ache…
Gavin Graves gently stroked her face, silent for a mont, then got up and walked aside, took sothing from his coat pocket, and returned to the bed.
He took Cherry’s hand and slipped a ring onto her ring finger.
Cherry’s eyes widened in disbelief, “You redeed it?”
It was her wedding ring!
“Hmm.” Gavin Graves said with a faint smile, “I won’t buy you a new ring anymore, if you dare to pawn it again, I won’t want you.”
Cherry sniffled, hugging Gavin Graves tightly, “Wuwuwu… I won’t pawn it, I’ll wear it a lifeti.”
