Chapter 110

Suzanne felt the pressure of the moment. Wendy strolled by Nathan and shot him a reassuring glance.
Taking Suzanne by the hand, Wendy said, “Come on, Suzanne, play a birthday song for her.”
“I can’t, Wendy,” Suzanne replied in a hushed tone.
Wendy whispered, “Don’t worry. The piano has the song recorded. Just play it, and I’ll manage the rest.
You got this. Don’t let Lindsey think you can’t do it.”
Suzanne got pulled toward the piano. She cast a helpless look back. at Nathan, who sat on the couch
and observed quietly. He had faith in Wendy.
In her three years of amnesia, Suzanne sat at the piano for the first time and found that the keys felt
strangely familiar.
Wendy slyly triggered the birthday song on the piano and Suzanne, “Relax, there won’t be any sound
even if you play The music will play automatically.”

Sensing Wendy’s trickery, Layla rose from her seat and exo
Hold on.”
All attention shifted to Layla as she approached Suzanne.
Layla pulled out a thick music book from the piano rack and instructed, “Choose any piece you want
from here, but not the
birthday song.”
Having spoken, Layla casually turned off the recording function.
Wendy’s irritation surfaced, and her expression darkened. “Layla, don’t
take it too far. What did Suzanne do to upset you and make you mistreat her like this?”
Layla arrogantly snorted. “Wendy, when did you see me mistreating her? I just told her to pick a piece-
any Grade 1 piano piece, even ‘ Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ would be fine.”
“You’re intentionally doing this.”
“Believe whatever you want.”
As the two continued to argue, Suzanne was already flipping through
the music sheets. She studied the musical notes on the sheet. Surprisingly, she understood them all
and recognized exactly which keys to press.
After turning to the final piece in the book, she positioned her hands on the piano keys. Though her
mind felt empty, her fingers seemed to remember the moves all on their own.
The air was filled with a mesmerizing melody. Wendy and Layla, caught in the middle of their argument,
fell silent in awe.
A hush fell over the entire living room, and every gaze shifted toward Suzanne in disbelief. The
enchanting piano melody surrounded them reaching deep into their souls and capturing their hearts.
Suzanne’s slender fingers danced gracefully on the piano. They gradually quickened in tempo with
fervor and intensity. Her demeanor remained composed and elegant.
Shocked, Layla hurried over to examine the sheet music Suzanne was playing. To her surprise, it was
the globally recognized most difficult piano piece.
Even Layla’s mother, a skilled musician, might not necessarily play it well. Yet, Suzanne effortlessly
performed it with ease and grace.
Elyse’s face went super pale. It felt like a big embarrassment just for
her. She lowered her head and puffed her cheeks while listening to the piano piece.
The difference in how well Suzanne played this piece compared to the Grade 5 one earlier was like
night and day.
As the music faded away, the room erupted in applause. Suzanne couldn’t help but clench her fists.
She was still trembling while staring at the piano in amazement.
The muscle memory had taken over, and she couldn’t quite believe it herself. It was tough for her to
grasp just how many years of practice it would take to master such a challenging piece.
When Suzanne turned around, she was surprised to see Gary and Florence beaming with radiant
smiles.
Their excitement was palpable, and their hands looked like they might be a bit sore from the continuous
applause that just wouldn’t quit.
Yet, what held the most significance for Suzanne was Nathan’s reaction. His expression was serious,
and he looked at her with profound and unreadable eyes.
Nathan’s admiration mirrored the excitement radiating from Gary an Florence.
Wendy walked up to Suzanne with her jaw hanging open in
amazement. “Wow, Suzanne! You’ve been keeping your talents under wraps. That piece you just
played is known as the hardest one globally.
“Why were you hiding your skills? I was worried for nothing. You’re amazing!”
Lindsey looked extremely unhappy. She didn’t know how-to ease the awkwardness and sarcastically
remarked, “It’s nothing special.”
