Chapter 438
Every second was gold to Mia now.
She went on to practice her piece, wishing to make up for her past regret. The song reminded her of the
orphanage.
Snippets of memories from the place only came to her when she played piano,
Aside from forgetting about the orphanage, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten someone,
someone important to her.
The practice session continued for a while as she walked down memory lane at the same time.
Right then, a woman with short hair showed up, scanning the area with eyes of scrutiny.

“I’m heading home for lunch. Let’s meet up next time.”
“Sure. Text me when you’re coming for practice again.”
Mia nodded and they went separate ways. Mia went home by cab.
