---- Chapter 5 A Change of Mood Three days later, my mom and I went ona trip. First, we went to Estania and visited the pyramids and the Sphinx. Then, we headed to Murrock to see the city of Casabulaca. In winter, we even watched auroras in Nornia. Under the vast sky full of stars with blue and pink lights swirling around, I felt a surge of inspiration. However, I no longer dared to create any more music. Noticing my mood was foul, my mom patted my shoulder and said, "Life isn't just about that one thing in front of you. Sometimes, you need to look back and see what's behind you. Just remember that your dad and I are always here to support you." After four months of traveling, I had adjusted my mindset and committed to working at my dad's company. The overwhelming workload left me barely any time to catch my breath, but my dad seemed to be in high spirits every day.

Her hypocritical words only made me more certain that she and Lucas were two peas in a pod. Ina fit of anger, I blocked her. ---- After I left the complicated life in the entertainment industry, my life returned to simplicity. Just when I thought things would continue like this, Anthony suddenly showed up on my doorstep. "Life's treating you well, huh? You're now a big boss! If [had known you were rich, I wouldn't have helped you deal with all those company disputes and let you save so much on those penalties! No matter what, you have to treat me to a meal today!" agreed to his request right away. Anthony sat in my seat and lit a cigarette. "Lucas has been acting strange lately. He has stopped all his activities." "Why?" "The same old reason. He couldn't handle his packed schedule because of his health." Hearing Anthony's words, I doubted that was the truth.
