Chapter 176Chapter 176
The person on the other end of the call was startled. “Oh, you’re looking to promote yourself, yeah? But
it’s just a small business and we don’t have a lot of customers. I’m afraid that you’d be just wasting your
time.”
“Oh no, it’s not to promote me. I just want to let my child have some experience.” “How old is your
child?” “Three…I mean, four years old. She plays really well even at her age. Her piano skills are
almost in the seventh and eighth grade.” “A four-year-old child has skills in seventh and eighth grade?
Who do you think you’re fooling?” The person then went on, “Alright now, I still have work to do. Please
look somewhere else instead.”
“My daughter is really talented…” Before Meredith could even finish her sentence, the person had
ended the call.
Looking at Nia who was sleeping soundly in the room, Meredith could only sigh helplessly. It looked like
she would have to hire an audience.
Just when Meredith was racking her brain, she received a call from Zya.
On the other end of the call was Zya who sounded excited, “Merelyn, I bit the bullet and went to beg
Miss Josie earlier, she said that one of her friends who is working at a parent and child shop is having
an event and they are looking for performances that are put together by the parent and the child.”
“Really? Where is the place? And what performance do they need?” Meredith asked excitedly yet at
the same time she sounded apologetic, “You know how Nia’s body condition is. She wouldn’t be able to
sing or dance. Plus she wishes to play the piano.”
“I know and I’ve told Miss Josie about it too,” Zya added, “oh before I forget, let me send you the
owner’s number. It’d be better for you to contact her.”“Okay, thank you so much, Zya,” Meredith added, “and help me give my thanks to Miss Josie too.”
“I will be sure to pass your thanks to her. But as for me, what’s with the thanks, we’re best friends,
aren’t we?”
After ending the call with Zya, Meredith made a call to the owner of the parent and child shop. The
owner was a nice lady. After hearing Meredith’s explanation , she agreed to have Nia perform on stage
right away, and her only request was for Meredith and Nia to be wearing their outfits when they perform
on stage.
It was good news to Meredith. After all, she was worried that Nia would not be able to pull through the
entire event as she was weak. But if she was allowed to be on stage with Nia, she might even be able
to help Nia achieve her dream too. Meredith visited the owner that very same day. For the sake of
leaving a good impression , Meredith changed into her usual performing outfit, a white dress, and made
sure to put on a face mask.
The owner was utterly pleased with Meredith after watching Meredith’s performance.’ In disbelief, the
owner asked, “You really don’t need the performance fees?”
Meredith shook her head. “I am already thankful enough that you are giving this opportunity to my
daughter.” The owner noticed the sole of her shoes that had worn out, as well as the bag that was
washed out, she said, “But you look like you could really use the money.” Meredith choked up but she
shook her head again. “It’s fine now. I am not in need of money anymore.” Back then, she needed
money for Nia’s surgery fees but now that her mother was dead, Nia would not be able to receive any
surgery.
So why would she need money? All she wanted to do right now was to stay by Nia’s side for the
remaining time that she had left and help her achieve the things that she wanted to do. Seeing how
Meredith’s eyes had turned red, the owner thought that Meredith was hiding something. “Don’t worry,I’m also paying other performing guests from the performing arts organization. I don’t want to take
advantage of you and your daughter. So fret not, I’ll pay you accordingly.” “Thank you so much.”
Meredith was touched.
Meredith brought the piece of good news to Nia as soon as she returned to the hospital.
