Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 161: While Allison was driving, her phone buzzed with a call from Garry.

Ms.

Clarke, I just wanted to reach out and thank you.

Its because of you that my comic is finally reaching so many readers.

Editors from publishing houses are already showing interest.

Knowing she had fulfilled her promise, Garry called to personally express his gratitude.

All I did was give you the push you needed, Allison replied.

Youre incredibly talented, Garry.

The truth is, the comics flooding the market today just dont suit your unique style, so its understandable that youve had fewer opportunities.

Her words were like a steady hand on his shoulder, grounding him.

But Im certain youll carve out your own place in the industry.

The comic world hasnt seen the best of you yet.

For a moment, there was silence on the line.

When Garry spoke again, his voice wavered with raw emotion.

Ms.

Clarke, I really cant thank you enough.

It means the world to me that you believe in me.

I wont let you down Ill work harder than ever.

For someone who had long struggled with self-doubt, having someone believe in him felt like a lifeline.

Garry clutched the drawing she had once given him, hesitating before speaking again.
