“Ahhh!”

Eliana was so scared that she screamed.

But her scream also frightened the crying woman.

“Ahhh! Ghost!”

Two screams echoed in the corner.

Eliana patted her chest and stared at the young woman in front of her in shock.

The young woman was wearing a white sleeveless dress, making her look pure and delicate. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her face flushed.

Eliana only breathed a sigh of relief when she finally saw the young woman’s shadow in the dim light.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to scare you.”

The young woman kept apologizing, which made Eliana very embarrassed.

“I’m fine, miss. You don’t need to apologize.”

The young woman finally calmed down. She lowered her head and sobbed softly.

When Eliana saw the young woman’s pitiful appearance, she suddenly felt a little sympathetic.

“Miss, don’t cry. Why are you here? Why is your hand full of blood? My surname is Pierce. If you don’t mind, can you tell me what happened?” Eliana comforted the young woman in a gentle voice.

The young woman mumbled, “My name is… Jennifer Lawson. I’m the harpist for tonight’s symphony. I bumped into a lady at the banquet hall just now, and the wine glass fell to the floor and shattered. My

hand got injured, so I came out to find the first-aid kit. I have to stop the bleeding before my performance.”

Eliana looked at Jennifer’s bloody right hand and said, “Miss Lawson, I think it’s best not to go on stage since your hand is badly hurt.”

However, Jennifer suddenly became anxious. “I can do it. I must go on stage tonight. Otherwise, I will lose a lot of money.”

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and her tears fell again.

Eliana was taken aback. She wondered why Jennifer cried so easily.

Eliana couldn’t bear to see Jennifer cry so sadly, and she wanted to help her.

“Let me help you bandage your wound.”

She walked over and took Jennifer’s arm. She only glanced at it casually just now. But now that she carefully examined it, she found that Jennifer’s injury was more serious than she thought.

Shards of glass pierced deeply into Jennifer’s arm. Although she had clipped the broken glass out, one of the wounds was deep and long. And it was bleeding terribly.

Eliana couldn’t help gasping.

Just looking at Jennifer’s wound made her feel like her right arm was aching too. She couldn’t imagine how hard it would be for Jennifer to treat the wound by herself and continue to perform on stage.

“No, you can’t perform later. Your injury is too serious. You need to go to the hospital for immediate treatment.”

Eliana really wanted to take Jennifer to the hospital.

“No. If I don’t perform today, I will not only lose a lot of money, but I will also be banned from the industry. So I must do it.”

Jennifer shook her head frantically. She picked up her musical score and was about to leave.

The blood on her hand stained the pure white sheet of paper.

“Wait!” Eliana ran over and stopped Jennifer. “Miss Lawson, why are you so stubborn? It’s not good for you to play on stage in your current condition. Once your wound gets worse, your future career will be completely ruined.”

“But… I really have no choice.”

Jennifer covered her face and cried bitterly.

Eliana couldn’t bear to see it.

“Well… Let me help you.”

Jennifer suddenly raised her head and looked at Eliana in disbelief.

“Miss Pierce, can you play the harp?”

Harps were not as popular as pianos, so it was almost impossible to find another person to replace Jennifer in a short time. This was one of the reasons why she must perform.

Eliana took a quick glance at the musical score in Jennifer’s hand, said the title of the song, and crooned.

If Maurice was there, he could tell that the tune she hummed was the background music of the music box he had redeemed before.

“Miss Pierce, you really know how to play the harp!” Jennifer exclaimed in surprise.

Eliana smiled. “Now you believe that I can replace you, right?”

Jennifer looked at Eliana’s determined eyes with hesitation.

Was Eliana really good enough on the harp to replace her on stage?
