Chapter 7 Mr John, You’ll Regret Losing Lily
“Don’t cry, Elsa.”
Elsa tilted her chin in her usual prideful way, but her tears welled at the corners of her eyes, like cracks forming in delicate crystal. It made her look fragile–something that stirred a man’s instinct to protect.
Seeing her like that made John feel deeply unsettled. He couldn’t bear to let her down.
He gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and softly coaxed her. “I’ll call Daniel right now.”
Daniel picked up almost immediately.
He assumed John was calling about Lily getting cast as Siren–probably to remind him to take care of her. Before John could speak, Daniel chuckled.
“John, you’ve been hiding a treasure. Why didn’t you ever say anything?”
“You don’t need to worry–your-”
Your Lily is so talented, I’ll absolutely take good care of her.
But before he could finish, John interrupted him flatly.
“Elsa wants to voice Siren.”
“…What?”
Daniel was caught completely off guard.
Once he gathered his wits, he said quickly, “The role has already been cast. Lily’s our Siren.”
“Her tone, her delivery–she fits the character perfectly. There’s no way I can replace her.”
Lily…
Hearing her name, John couldn’t help but picture her crumpled on the private room floor the night before, blood trickling down her temple.
He didn’t know if her wound still hurt.
And the look in her eyes–that deep, unspoken disappointment and heartbreak–twisted something in his chest.
But then he thought about how he had the rest of his life to spend with Lily… and how Elsa might not have much time left.
So his voice stayed cold.
“Give the role to Elsa.”
