Chapter: 198
Sarah gently planted a kiss on Alina’s forehead, her voice a gentle whisper as she spoke. “Please tell me, I really need to know.”
As Alina realized Sarah’s joy, she continued to sing with even more confidence, her voice shining like a precious diamond.
The intricate melody, once difficult for even Sarah to perform, was effortlessly hummed by Alina with perfect pitch and intonation.
It was clear that the young girl possessed a natural talent for music, a gift not bestowed upon everyone.
Some people were born with the gift of a beautiful voice, and Alina was certainly one of them.
Pleasantly surprised, Sarah could only hold Alina close and marvel at her talent.
Just as she was basking in the glory of Alina’s singing, a knock on the door interrupted the moment. Molly entered the room,
drawn in by the enchanting sound.
Molly sat quietly on the bed, her eyes soft as she gazed at Sarah. “Do you remember asking me why I brought Alina to
Ivebridge?” she asked, her voice full of emotion. “Well, this is the reason.”
Sarah’s confusion was palpable as she looked at her mother, searching for answers. “What do you mean?”
Molly let out a heavy sigh, tears glistening in her eyes. “It’s not me who wanted to come; it’s Alina.”
Sarah was stunned, not understanding what her mother was saying.
“Whenever we watched your performance on the show, Alina would pay attention to every part of it,” Molly said softly. “She
would hum your songs for hours after hearing them just once. She loves music, and she loves your singing more than anything.”
Sarah was struck dumb, tears streaming down her face as the reality of her mother’s words hit her. Alina’s love for her music
was a source of encouragement for her, and Sarah felt overwhelmed by the love and support she received from the young girl.
“I know you’re exhausted after all that you’ve been through, and as a mother, I feel so sorry for you. But no matter what, I will
always stand by you and support your decisions.” With tears in her eyes, Molly took Sarah’s hand and spoke from the heart.
“Please, don’t give up on your dreams so easily. Remember, you’re never alone. Alina is here with you and she loves you so
deeply.”
“Mommy, I love you!”
Alina’s words were like a ray of sunshine, filling Sarah’s heart with warmth and love.
Sarah stared in amazement, her voice trembling as she asked, “Mom, what did Alina just say?”
Molly’s face lit up with joy as she hugged Alina tight. “Say it again, Alina. Do you love Mommy?” @
Alina shyly looked down at the bunny button on her pajamas, her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes.”
Molly looked over at Sarah, her eyes filled with pride. “You see, Alina loves you so much. That’s why we came to Ivebridge, to
show our support and cheer you on in the final.”
Tears streamed down Sarah’s face as she was overwhelmed by the love and support of her mother and adopted daughter. @
