Leah furrowed her brows tightly, carefully holding back her emotions. “I’ve disappointed you, Mom; it’s my fault.”

“What does this have to do with you? It’s clearly-”

She abruptly cut herself off, likely recalling Emyr’s ruthless mockery just moments ago. Her face turned even uglier.

Leah gently embraced Olympia’s trembling body, tears streaming down her face. “It’s because I’m not good enough. I couldn’t bring honor to our family. If only I were your daughter, I could stand taller, face Chara without fear, and be more outstanding. Then maybe I’d win everyone’s admiration.”

She bit her lip, suppressing her grievances. When Olympia looked at her in shock, she quickly turned her head away to wipe her tears as if she didn’t want her mother to see her sadness–so sensible, so considerate.

Seeing her like this–one hand wrapped in gauze, the other still seeping blood from earlier–Olympia’s guilt deepened, swallowing her whole!

“My precious girl, it’s me who has failed you!”

Olympia clung to Leah, sobbing uncontrollably. “I was too impulsive! I was so fixated on fighting with Charmaine that I completely ignored your feelings. You were the one who suffered the most–injured because of her, unable to perform on stage. You should feel the most wronged, yet you’re here comforting me. I was so foolish. I have such a wonderful daughter–why should I care about that wretched girl?!”

Leah leaned against her mother, her face showing no trace of sorrow. “Mom, don’t say that. The opportunity to perform wasn’t mine to begin with. I only thought that if I could stand on stage and bring glory to our family, it would at least repay you and Dad for all your years of effort in raising me. I just… I just didn’t
