Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 273

Ashley carefully examined the damaged painting and then looked up.

Henry anxiously asked, "How is it? Can it still be salvaged?"

Paul, Charlie, and the other restorers in the room all looked at Ashley with nervous anticipation.

They prayed silently, 'She can do it!'

If it couldn't be restored even with Rita, Caleb's granddaughter's help, this painting would be ruined!

It would be a huge loss for the world of artifacts.

Ashley looked at the damaged Auburn Symphony. It was a painting that Caleb had loved during his lifetime, and it was also going to be showcased at the state banquet next week.

Both personally and professionally, it held great significance.

Ashley looked up at Henry and said, "The restoration process will be a bit tricky and time-consuming."

Upon hearing this, a look of unrestrained delight appeared on Henry's dignified face. "So you can restore this painting, right?"

Ashley nodded slightly.

Paul, relieved to receive Ashley's confirmation, finally relaxed his tense posture. "The damage to this painting is severe, so it will definitely take time. We are already grateful that you are willing to help restore it!"

The other restorers were overjoyed. "Ms. Ramos, it's no problem if it takes time. We'll wait here patiently, and we can also learn from your techniques!"

"Yes, Ms. Ramos, if you need any assistance, just let us know!"

"That's right, we are ready to help anytime!"

Ashley smiled, "Alright, I understand."

Charlie looked at Ashley, lost in thought. He heard that she was willing to restore the painting and felt like crying.

But he never arrogantly thought that Ashley did for him.

Because Ashley didn't even spare him a glance, maybe in Ashley's eyes, he was nothing more than a stranger.

As an art restorer, he couldn't bear to see the artwork being destroyed under his care. It was the most painful torment to endure.

Now that Ashley could save this painting from imminent destruction, he was filled with excitement.

'Ashley...' Charlie silently repeated her name in his heart, savoring each syllable.

He had never truly paid attention to Ashley before, but at this moment, his gaze uncontrollably followed her every move.

The art restorers in the room, including Henry and Paul, were all eagerly anticipating how Ashley would restore the painting.

Cara, on the other hand, stood alone in the corner, ignored by everyone.

Charlie and Cara had just uncovered the backing paper of the painting. Ashley picked up the tweezers and continued to peel off the second layer of paper.

The onlookers held their breath, not making a sound.

Those who understood art restoration knew that removing the second layer of paper was much more difficult than removing the backing paper. One wrong move could easily damage the painting!

To their surprise, Ashley's technique was extremely skillful. From start to finish, there was not a single mistake. She delicately peeled off the paper, showcasing her expertise.

The staff members admired her and whispered in awe.

"If only we had asked Ashley to repair this painting from the beginning and not let Charlie and Cara touch it. It wouldn't have been so badly damaged."

"Yeah, if we had asked Ms. Ramos to restore it from the start, maybe it would have already been fixed."

"It's too late to say anything now. Fortunately, Ashley knows how to repair it!"
