It wasn't until then that Melody learned Lily, the skilled embroidery master, was actually the mother of Edward's close friend, Zac.

Lily had grown so fond of Melody that she had even considered setting her up with Zac for a blind date.

However, after some misunderstanding, she gave up the idea and no longer tried to pair them up.

Although Lily distanced herself from the two troublesome men, her affection for Melody remained strong.

She arranged a meeting with Melody at a garden teahouse, where they discussed the launch of a new brand, LilyRises.

The name was inspired by both Lily's name and a verse from a famous poem of a long-gone

era.

The poem, much like the art of embroidery, carried a sense of nostalgia, which perfectly aligned with Lily's passion for keeping the traditions of her homeland alive.

As the two sipped tea together, the barren scenery of the pond, filled with dried-up flowers, reflected the bleak reality-much like the current state of their culture. Cleussau's rich heritage was being overshadowed by foreign influences, and young people were paying less attention to the cultural gems.

"Melody, I officially invite you to join LilyRises, Lily began. "You'll lend your talent. In return, I'll offer you 30% of the shares.

"It's not a lot. In today's world, finding someone with your embroidery skills, especially with knowledge of various techniques, is incredibly rare. "You also understand what appeals to the younger generation, and being young yourself gives you an advantage.

"Most of us embroiderers are aging, and we lack the vision that this brand needs.

Melody had once dreamed of promoting the nation's embroidery culture in her past life, studying different regional techniques to master her craft. But limitations had held her back, and she hadnt achieved that goal before her passing.

Now, with a second chance, she figured it was worth trying again.

As they were about to leave, they bumped into Derrick, a renowned figure in the legal world. often referred to as the 'Legal Titan

He stood in the corridor, rubbing his temples with a frown, clearly suffering from another headache.

His assistant held a file nearby.

From a glance, Melody could tell what was happening, but it was none of her concern.

As she and Lily made their way out, Derrick's instinct seemed to kick in. He opened his his cold gaze finding Melody.

In a daze, he murmured, "Mel, I've got a headache. Come and massage it for me."

eyes,

His voice, though still cold, softened as he spoke. Melody paused for a moment, memories flooding back.

Back then, she was worried about Derrick's frequent headaches.

When she was learning portable electrotherapy devices from her grandfather, she had taken time to study ways to relieve headaches through gentle massage. She'd even learned how to soothe the mind using fragrant aromas.

There was a period when she thought her hands might never recover, all because she practiced tirelessly to be soft enough to ease Derrick's pain.

Yet none of that mattered compared to Suzanna's heartache.

Derrick had always pushed Melody aside to take Suzanna to the hospital, ignoring how he had once shoved Melody into an icy pool in the middle of winter. "Melody, I know you can swim," he had said casually back then. "Swim up by yourself."

And then he left, saying only, "Suzie's health is the priority."

Melody's heart had frozen that day. Her sickness and fever had meant nothing to him, simply because Suzanna's needs came first.

She was also his sister.

Why should she always have to sacrifice?

To her, their encounter was no more significant than passing a stranger.

After leaving, Lily asked curiously, "Mel, was that man your brother?"

Melody smiled faintly. "Not anymore."

The real loss, she thought, wasn't being separated by distance but becoming strangers everything they'd been through. ers after

Derrick, rubbing his temples once more, felt his headache intensify as he watched Melody walk away, ignoring him.
