Chapter 949:
Seated beside the piano, Nora's hands danced across the keys, leaving them stained with bright red blood.
Her fingertips bore many wounds, each press leaving a new red mark.

Amidst the white keys, sharp silver blades were clearly visible, bloodstained and scattered.
When the final note faded, Nora slumped over the keys, feeling a surge of pain through her palms.

Amy had been waiting impatiently backstage for Nora to finish her performance. As soon as Nora stepped down

Before Amy could finish her sentence, she noticed Nora’s unusually pale face and trembling arms.
“Oh my gosh, your hands...”
She grabbed Nora’s wrists, gasping in shock. “How could this happen?”
The fingertips of both hands were slashed, swounds so deep that blood and raw flesh were exposed.
