As the elevator doors slowly closed, John suddenly remembered that Lily was also particularly afraid of thunder.
Four years ago, my father’s illegitimate son had left her in the cemetery for a whole night, which had left her with a severe psychological scar.
Ever since that night, she had become especially afraid of the dark, confined spaces, and the sound of thunder and lightning.
Recalling the time he came home late and found her huddled in the corner of the dilapidated, 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 was brightly lit, like daylight, she probably wouldn’t be that scared.
But Elsa’s place had lost power, and given her severe illness, she was much more vulnerable than an average person. He decided to go to her.
The doctor had specifically emphasized that during the final stage of Elsa’s life, maintaining a good mood was crucial. Fear, anger, and sadness could exacerbate her condition and hasten her death.
Even though I no longer loved Elsa, I wished for her final days to be happier and for her to live a few more days…
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 a large 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 overcome her inner demons, sitting by the window, watching the flashes of lightning and listening to the 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.
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 to come over to sign the contract the day after tomorrow.”
Lily’s heart plummeted.
I was used to having my roles taken away by Elsa after initially landing good parts.
But because I truly loved Violet, who could sing Folk Opera, and wanted to do a great job with the voice acting and the Folk Opera segments, I was still somewhat upset about losing the role.
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, Dean comforted Lily with a few words before hastily ending the call.
Sure enough, it was Elsa again.
During the four years John and I had been through life and death together, I had done so much for him, often getting hurt and even nearly losing my life on several occasions.

After breaking up, I didn’t expect any reciprocation from him.
But he kept becoming a stumbling block in my life, and I still found it disgusting.
I’m also increasingly regretful about having once loved him so blindly and wholeheartedly.
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 never compare 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.
After all, the most disliked person of mine, Lily, wouldn’t be doing the voice–over for Violet either!
“Hmph, when it comes 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 life is still long. I will definitely meet better roles in the future. I won’t be so easily defeated by Elsa.
In two days, I’m getting married. I hope that after I get the marriage certificate with James, I will no longer be disturbed by John!
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.
