While singing, she was truly beautiful.
At the end of the song, the audience underneath the stage couldn't come back to their senses for a long while. It was only after a few seconds that thunderous applause erupted.
James Carter, leaning on his cane, walked slowly to Jane's side and reached out his hand to her. Their palms touched, and then they bowed in thanks.
Jane felt a sigh of relief in her heart.
She slowly straightened her back, her gaze instinctively sweeping towards the table where Old Master Black and Harper Black sat.
That glance brought a momentary look of surprise to Jane's eyes, followed by a faint smile slowly appearing at the corner of her mouth.
It was so light, yet it could no longer be hidden.
The person who initially said he might not be free to pick her up was now sitting rigidly beside Old Master Black.
Jane thought that he must have seen her looking at him.
Upon returning backstage, Jane felt so happy she didn't even feel the cold.
