Chapter 222:
In that moment, Janice seemed to channel deeper spirits, her melody a complex tapestry of joy, anger, and sadness—each emotion resonating so profoundly that it seemed to tug at the heartstrings of the audience.
“If she memorized this, it would be astonishing.”
“Such wild, entrancing music! I’ve never heard anything like it before. It must be an improvised piece.”
“The scariest part is how the music seems to echo her present feelings. It’s a genuine display of raw emotion through music. I can’t imagine any other possibility than that it was created spontaneously.”
Several musicians voiced their support first, relying on their expertise to vouch for the authenticity of Janice’s impromptu performance.
As Carman absorbed the complex melody and witnessed the scene, he felt a deep connection with Janice’s emotions, leaving him completely taken aback.
Memories flashed before his eyes, replaying like scenes from a film.
Was he really a failure?
“Carman, are you actually going to study music?” It was Laurie’s voice.

“Good boy. As long as you’re committed, you have my support.”
Fueled by passion, Carman immersed himself in music. Every day, he listened to countless songs to deepen his understanding.
He expanded his music library and even convinced his mother to get him a tutor for the basics and various instruments. Yet, his talent still didn’t quite shine. After a year, his progress was unremarkable.
During that year, he learned to play the piano, but his skills remained average. He studied composition, but his pieces were far from impressive. Despite this, he refused to give up and decided to make his first public debut as a musician.
His journey in music was a tough one, filled with setbacks and disappointments.
As a freelance online musician, no agency took interest. Though the Edwards family had the resources to boost his career, Carman wanted to succeed on his own terms, without relying on family connections.
He was determined to chase his dreams and match his idol, all through his own efforts.
Then one day, Janice returned, sparking new hope in his journey.
“Carman, you can play the piano? That’s incredible!” Janice exclaimed, her smile beaming. She then sat down at the piano and effortlessly played a few notes. “I’ve…”
