The music flowed from Carissa's fingertips like water, and in an instant, the entire hall fell silent. People who were chatting unconsciously lowered their voices, and those who were eating couldn't help but sway along with Carissa's music.With just a few simple strings, Carissa seemed to take everyone to an ancient and peaceful forest, running with the elves and the deer in the woods."It's really beautiful," Kathy sighed after listening for a while. Carissa's skill was quite impressive, and the melody was flawless, but it lacked emotion.This piece, "Forest," was actually about a tragedy, but under Carissa's performance, everyone seemed to enter a joyful fairy tale world where anything was possible."What a shame," Dominic didn't understand music, but he listened to Kathy's words and couldn't find any flaws in her logic. It seemed that Kathy really had a deep understanding of music."I don't know much about Carissa's music, but I do know that Estela said something right before," Do
"Where did I disrespect you?" Kathy stood up in fear, leaving her seat and turning her chair towards Carissa, bowing and gesturing for her to sit down.This put Carissa in a difficult position. Earlier, when the younger generation was talking, no one had heard what was said clearly, and Kathy's expression was normal. Furthermore, Kathy's companions, Dominic, Estela, and Maricela, did not make any special welcoming gestures upon Carissa's arrival, so Kathy could not be accused of being impolite to her.Carissa was angry, but only because Kathy had ignored her invitation. This woman did not seem to value her at all! She was being so dismissive of her! This was unforgivable!Carissa wanted to embarrass Kathy in front of everyone, but her unexpected gesture had caught her off guard. Kathy's posture, though bowed, made her seem like a hostess inviting a guest to sit down, rather than someone in a weak position."Miss Kathy is too kind. I don't believe that Miss Kathy cannot play an instru
Dominic looked at Kathy with undisguised admiration in his eyes, anticipating the performance his girl was about to bring him. He could tell that there was a different sparkle in her eyes as she turned around.Maricela looked puzzled, wondering why Estela and Carissa had looked at each other strangely earlier, almost as if they were united against something. "You're close with Carissa?" Maricela asked Estela casually, glancing at Kathy's back.Estela nodded. "We're acquaintances from the Christensen family."Maricela didn't ask any further. She didn't know when these two had hooked up, but she felt isolated.Wherever Kathy went, people automatically made way for her, and the white jade floor seemed to enhance the film festival-like atmosphere and beauty that surrounded her.Wilson chuckled in a corner where no one paid attention to him, sipping champagne and half-closing his eyes as he watched Carissa and Estela, exuding a dangerous aura."Kathy's family background is average, but b
And yet, this afternoon, Wilson was clearly with me and Dominic...Well, he must have found a substitute. It's confirmed.Suppressing her excitement, Kathy felt that letting Wilson perform might be a good way to put this matter behind them like turning a page."Okay."After bowing to the audience, Kathy stepped down from the stage and, as she descended the last step in her high heels, she saw a beautiful, fair, and slender hand."Dominic, let's go back and listen to Wilson's concert."Looking at Kathy like this, Dominic felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.Her eyes were filled with sadness, and he knew nothing about it.For the first time, Dominic felt that he was not being a good enough boyfriend.If he had to wait for her to tell him everything, he couldn't imagine how much more pain Kathy would have to endure.Thinking about how today's events could have been avoided, Dominic's mind was in chaos."What are you thinking about?" Kathy could sense that something was wrong with the
"Okay, how do you want to perform?"Carissa and Maricela were both a little surprised. They agreed just like that?Dominic still had a worried look in his eyes. A motor neuron disorder wasn't something that could be easily recovered from.Now he finally understood why Kathy took so long to cook every time. Controlling the direction and strength of her knife must also be a very difficult thing!"Don't worry," Kathy leaned against Dominic's chest and said softly to him.Carissa's eyes seemed to be able to shoot fire, staring tightly at Kathy."Kathy! You're so kind! How about I dance and you accompany me! Any instrument and music is fine, I don't mind!"When the people around heard this, they realized that this little daughter of the Westford family was really not simple! Improvised dancing with any instrument and music. This was simply picking at random from the vast library of Chinese and Western music! How amazing must her dancing skills be!"Estela, why haven't I heard that you can
"Doctor!" Dominic carried Kathy and followed the signs to the emergency room.Helpless, Dominic sat in the corridor, watching the doctor push Kathy into the operating room. He looked dejected.Wilson sat far away from Dominic, also staring at the transparent glass door that symbolizes danger. His heart was filled with indescribable emotions."Do you like Kathy?" The empty corridor echoed Dominic's words.Wilson's heart tightened. He looked up and stared into Dominic's eyes. Scenes of the girl's smiles and frowns, as well as the moments they had met, flashed through his mind."I do," he said. Wilson was never good at lying, so he chose to be honest."I won't take Kathy away from you," Dominic said with concern, praying that Kathy would be safe."I understand. I don't intend to fight for her. I know that Kathy likes you," Wilson said.Dominic was surprised. "You two know each other?""We don't. It's just my one-sided love. You don't have to worry. She doesn't know that I am someone el
"Of course, it sounds good...""Miss Kathy, you had this disease before?" The doctor asked in surprise."Yes, three years ago I had a car accident and my motor nerves were damaged. For a long time, I couldn't live a normal life. Later, I tried to recover at home little by little until yesterday when I found out that I had already recovered a long time ago."The doctor looked pleased and congratulated Kathy and Dominic."Miss Kathy is really lucky to have survived such a great ordeal. I believe that within half a month, she will recover to normal.”"What?!"After seeing the doctor's confident expression, Kathy and Dominic looked at each other with excitement."That's right! Miss Kathy's previous self-healing was due to a mutation in her immune system, which produced an acetylcholinesterase antagonist. This disease is not difficult to treat, but the difficulty lies in what kind of antagonist we use for treatment.""A slight mistake could immediately result in fatal poisoning. Since Miss
"No need, the air conditioning in the room is too strong. I was feeling hot just now," said Kathy, shrugging her shoulders. She couldn't see what was happening in front of her, so she didn't understand why Dominic suddenly blushed and acted like a little girl."So, do you have anything to say?" Dominic asked calmly, holding Kathy."What do you mean?" Kathy was surprised. She hadn't expected this."About Wilson liking you.""Did he tell you that himself?""Yes, he was very worried when you collapsed."Dominic felt uncomfortable. His own younger brother and he liked the same girl."Do I need to do anything? Should I give him a 'good person card' and tell him that liking me is hopeless and that his true love is in the distant future?"Kathy's series of questions left Dominic speechless."Don't worry, I'm not interested in your brother. Besides, how can you be sure that he's telling the truth?"Looking at Kathy's honest eyes, Dominic felt that his behavior was despicable. He wanted to tes
