Chapter 38 Woodrow said nothing , simply listening quietly . " Later , my mother fell gravely ill . We sought out every renowned doctor , but still couldn't save her . " Kaneeta's voice was already choked with emotion . " As she was dying , she held my hand and told me that she didn't care how much I achieved , she only hoped I would never give up dancing . " くく Kaneeta's eyes were red . " I promised my mother , I promised her that no matter what , I would never give up dancing . But now … I can't dance anymore . If my mother knew , she'd be so disappointed , wouldn't she ? " Woodrow looked at Kaneeta , pained by her memories , his Adam's apple bobbing as he finally broke the silence . A He slowly reached out , gently and with restraint , covering her trembling hand with his . " Don't say that," his voice was low and gentle , as if it carried the power to soothe pain . " Your mother wouldn't be disappointed . She wanted you not to give up dancing because she hoped you would pursue the dreams you love . What's happened now isn't your fault . " Chapter 38 Kaneeta looked at him with red , tearful eyes . Woodrow leaned in slightly , meeting her gaze earnestly . " You and your mother must have been very close . It's just that you're trapped in pain right now , so some things are hard to see clearly !" Yes , such a gentle mother , a mother who loved her so much … Kaneeta felt a little relief in her heart , but her eyes grew even redder , and tears fell in large drops . She missed her mother so much . " Besides , medicine is advancing . Your leg might recover in the future ." Woodrow pulled out two tissues . He wanted to wipe her tears for her , but as he raised his hand a little , his gaze darkened and he placed the tissues in her hand instead . Kaneeta wiped her tears and smiled . " Thank you , Mr. Hartwell . After talking to you , I feel much better . " As for what Woodrow said at the end , she just took it as him trying to comfort her and didn't take it to heart . It wasn't that she hadn't tried , but every doctor who had examined her leg said she would never be able to dance again . Chapter 38 Woodrow said nothing , naturally taking the used tissues from her hand and tossing them into the trash . Kaneeta's brow twitched . This act couldn't really be called intimate , but she felt a faint , strange sensation in her heart . She tried hard to brush away that odd feeling . The setting sun cast a golden glow over the hospital room, warm and gentle . For a moment , neither of them knew what to say . Until Kaneeta's phone rang . It was an unfamiliar number . Not knowing if it was something work - related , Kaneeta answered the call . She hadn't expected that as soon as the call connected , Nyasia's aggressive voice would come through . " Kaneeta , what do you mean by this ? Mom and I came to see you out of kindness , and you had someone stop us at the door . Are you deliberately making things difficult for us ? " Chapter 38 Kaneeta said nothing , simply hung up , blocked the number , and did it all in one go . Saying even one more word to Nyasia was a waste of time . Woodrow , seeing her reaction , could guess who had called . Besides , Nyasia's voice was so shrill that he had vaguely heard some of it . " Get some rest , " Woodrow stood up . " I'll be going now ." " Take care , Mr. Hartwell ." Kaneeta wanted to get up to see him off , but Woodrow insisted it wasn't necessary . After he left , Kaneeta turned and looked at the bouquet of lilies he had just brought . They were beautiful .
