Chapter 418

“Indeed, it has nothing to do with you, and it’s certainly none of your business!” Mia retorted before

making her way toward the academic building.

As Maya caught on, she watched Mia’s departing figure with frustration. “Mia, you’d better hold on and

explain yourself!”

Mia glanced back. “Edwin’s grandfather lived a long life because he minded his own business! Whether

I

learn plano or not is none of your concern!”

With those words, Mia continued on her way, a faint smirk playing on her lips as she dismissed Maya’s

earlier derogatory remarks.

Playing the piano was merely a hobby for Mia.

She had no intentions of competing or joining the music team for the upcoming show. Her goal was

simply to fulfill the unmet desires from her early years.

Despite her fading memories of childhood, playing the piano faintly revived fragments of her past.novelbin

Mia went directly to an empty classroom on the fourth floor to practice. With a deep breath, she began

playing the piano piece from memory.

Playing this nursery rhyme always brought her a sense of tranquility.

The room was soon filled with the sound of the piano, its melodies intertwining with the harmonies of

other instruments echoing throughout the building.

Maya’s demeanor swiftly changed upon recognizing the familiar melody of a piano nearby.

Her expression turned uneasy. “Did you hear that?”

Charlotte looked puzzled. “Ms. Lane, what exactly are you referring to? I do detect different musical

sounds, but considering classes are still in session…

“No, I mean the piano piece. Did you hear that melody that sounds like a nursery rhyme? Do you know.

who usually plays it?”

Maya had previously tasked Blake with investigating all the people she added on WhatsApp.

However, none of them matched the identity she was seeking, and they all claimed to be unaware of

the nursery rhyme’s existence.

Nonetheless, Maya unmistakably recognized the familiar piano melody.

Despite her frequent visits to this place lately, she hadn’t encountered the specific tune again.

Doubt began to creep into Maya’s mind, questioning if she had misheard or perhaps even experienced

a

hallucination.

But now, Maya couldn’t believe she was hearing the familiar piano tune once again.

Maya was certain it wasn’t an illusion this time. She retrieved her phone and recorded the sound of the

music at that moment.

Although the piano melody was somewhat obscured amidst the sounds of other instruments, Maya

could still distinguish it.

Indeed, that piece of music was something she would never forget in her lifetime.

Charlotte cautiously said to Maya, “I heard you’re looking for the person who played this piece. Maybe

you could tell me more about this piano piece?

“I’ve been around this university forever, so perhaps I’ll stumble upon your mystery person someday.”

Maya smiled. “Yes, I’m searching for a childhood friend. We were incredibly close, but circumstances.

forced us apart.

“I’ve been on a quest to find her. This piano composition is something we used to play together as

children, something known only to the two of us.”

“What’s your friend’s name. Ms. Lane?”

“She’s a friend I met at the orphanage. Please don’t get the wrong idea; it was during the time I used to

volunteer there.”

Maya swiftly hid her background; she wasn’t about to disclose to anyone that she, too, had grown up in

an orphanage.

As Maya gazed at the building before her, a flicker of darkness flashed in her eyes.

Now, she was almost certain that the true heiress of the Lane family was inside that building!
