As the elevator doors slowly closed, John suddenly remembered that Lily was also particrly afraid of thunder.

Four years ago, imy /iifather’s /iillegitimate ison /ihad left iher /iiin /iithe /iicemetery /iifor /iia /iiwhole /iinight/i, iwhich /iihad /iileft /iiher /iiwith /iia /isevere psychological scar.

Ever since that night, she had be iespecially /iiafraid /iiof /iithe /iidark/ii, /iiconfined /ispaces, iand /iithe /iisound /iiof /iithunder /iiand /ilightning.

Recalling the time he came homete and found her huddled in the corner of the dpidated, power- outage apartment, trembling and in tears, his heart ached as if being cut by a knife.

He couldn’t help but want to hold her tightly, kiss her deeply, and reassure her that she had nothing to fear as long as he was there.

However, the hotel hadn’t experienced a power outage.

If the guest room iwas /iibrightly /iilit/ii, /iilike /iidaylight/ii, /iishe /iiprobably /iiwouldn’t /iibe /iithat /iiscared/i.

But Elsa’s ice /iihad lost /iipower/ii, /iiand /iigiven /iiher /iisevere /iiillness/ii, /iishe /iiwas /iimuch /iimore /iivulnerable /iithan /iian /iiaverage /iiperson/i. He decided to go to her.

Today, with too much dubbing work, Lily hadn’t had time for dinner, and her stomach was growling with hunger.

She ordered some takeout and felt revitalized after eating arge portion of chicken.

In the past, Lily had never properly appreciated the night rain due to her fear of thunder in the dead of night.

Now that she had ovee her inner demons, sitting by the window, watching the shes of lightning and listening ito /ithe thunder while sipping hot milk tea, had its own unique charm.

Afraid of gaining weight from eating too much before bed, Lily walked around the room for several rounds before heading to the bathroom to take a shower. fnbc7b Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n FindN()vel/fnbc7b

After washing away the fatigue of the day, sleepiness began to creep in.

Lily yawned and was about to snuggle into the soft, fluffy bed for a good night’s sleep when her phone

rang.

Seeing that the call was from the director of “The Diva’s Bloom,” she quickly answered.

“Hello, Mr. Dean…”

“Lily, I’m really sorry, but we’ve found a more suitable voice actor. You don’t need toe over to sign the contract the day after tomorrow.”

Lily’s heart plummeted.

I was used to having my roles taken away iby /iiElsa /iiafter /iiinitially /iinding /iigood /iiparts/i.

But because I truly loved Violet, who could ising /iiFolk /iiOpera/ii, /iiand /iiwanted /iito /iido /iia /iigreat /iijob /iiwith /iithe /iivoice /iiacting /iiand /iithe /iFolk Opera segments, iI /iwas still somewhat iupset /iiabout losing /iithe /iirole/i.

After a while, she couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Dean, could you tell me who the final voice actor is?”

“It’s Elsa, Ms. Elsa.”

Dean actually preferred Lily, but the biggest investor behind the show was Jones Corp, and John had specifically requested that Elsa do the voice acting for Violet. He had no choice.

“Ms. Elsa can sing Folk Opera, and her voice is a better match for Violet. Lily, you are also an excellent voice actor, and I believe you will find even better roles in the future.”

Feeling guilty and in the wrong, Deanforted Lily with a few words before hastily ending the call.

As she was lost in self–mockery, her phone rang again.

Thinking it was Dean calling again, she didn’t even check the caller ID and answered.

To her surprise, it was Yvonne on the line.

Yvonne’s voice was filled with obvious provocation and triumph. “Lily, you should know by now, right?”

“John personally told Dean to let Elsa do the voice–over for Violet. Anything Elsa wants, John will put right in front of her. You, a person like you, don’t deserve to do the voice–over for Violet. You can neverpare to Elsa. You’re not even worthy of carrying Elsa’s shoes!”

Yvonne had been furious and disappointed that she didn’t get to do the voice–over for Violet.

But when she found out that Elsa got the chance, she was overjoyed.

“Hmph, when ites to shamelessness, I can never match you and Elsa!”

After saying this, Lily let Yvonne yell on the other end of the phone and then hung up.

Lily had already blocked Yvonne’s number before. This time, Yvonne had called from a friend’s phone, so Lily blocked that number as well.

Lily was indeed upset that she didn’t get to do the voice–over for Violet.

But my ilife /iiis /istill long. iI /iwill definitely imeet /iibetter /iiroles /iiin /iithe /iifuture/ii. /iiI /iiwon’t /iibe /iiso /iieasily /iidefeated /iiby /iiElsa/i.

Lily went to the recording studio early in the morning to do the voice–over.

After finishing the voice–over work early in the afternoon, she drove straight to the Westhill Cemetery to sweep the graves for her mom and dad.

She told her parents that she was getting married tomorrow.

The Luke family was really nice, and James was very handsome.

She would live a very good life from now on, and she hoped her parents could rest easy.
