Chapter 8

In the back of a Mercedes G-Wagon, Gideon held me tightly, my body covered in blood. His voice was laced with panic. "Drive faster! Get the entire medical team on standby for surgery!"

I struggled to open my eyes and saw his tense, handsome face. Before I could speak, I blacked out.

When I next woke, the sterile scent of a hospital filled my lungs. Several doctors stood by my bed.

I quietly cooperated with their examination until a sharp pain shot through my fingers.

The lead healer reassured me, "Your other injuries are healing well, but your fingers will require a longer recovery."

My voice trembled. "Are you saying... my fingers can still recover?"

The healer smiled kindly. "Of course. It will just take time and patience."

Tears instantly welled in my eyes.

I had thought I would never play the violin again. I never imagined I'd get a second chance.

From that day on, I was a new person, dedicating myself completely to my treatment.
