Chapter 569

Abby stared at her in surprise. "I thought you didn't know anything about music. How do you even recognize 'Moonlight'?"

Joshua replied, "When I came in just now, I heard Miss Fletcher playing it on the piano. It sounded beautiful, and I was curious what it would feel like to hear that piece on this violin."

The Nocturne Stella was a legendary instrument-rare and precious.

Everyone who heard about the Nocturne Stella wanted to experience what made it so unique.

Even back when Candida first found out about it, she'd made the same request. No one found it strange-who wouldn't want to hear such a famous violin?

"Moonlight" was their chosen opening piece for the upcoming concert.

It wasn't an easy piece, but Stella was the composer herself. After years of relentless practice, it came as easily to her as breathing.

Stella didn't hesitate. "Alright."

She picked up the Nocturne Stella and was just about to play when her phone suddenly rang.

Her brow furrowed slightly.

It was Haynes.

After a beat, Stella answered the call.

"Is something wrong?"

Haynes's voice was low and steady. "Do you have a moment? Could you come by the hospital?"

A suspicion flickered through Stella's mind. "Is this about the kidnapping? Do you need to question me?"
