From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Watching Rebecca furrow her brow, Daniel felt a pang of concern in his chest. "Rebecca, is something troubling you?" he asked gently.

"No, Daniel, what trouble could I possibly have?" Rebecca replied, putting on a brave face.

The more Rebecca denied it, the more Daniel was convinced that something was weighing on her mind. "Rebecca, we're best friends. You can tell me anything. If there's something I can do to help, you know I will," he assured her earnestly.

Rebecca swiftly changed the subject, "Daniel, do you know what my biggest wish is?"

In this world, driven by self-interest, how many people could still possess such kindness and purity as Rebecca?
