Chapter 106
It seemed like that was the only occurrence in common when Rainee had a reaction.
“T
The doctor noted down what the caretaker said in Rainee’s medical record before he said, Perhaps we can continue to stimulate her sense by doing this. However, don’t play it for too long. Observe her when you do that next time and notify us right away if there’s a reaction.”
“Sure, thanks.”
Stella looked at the cassette after the doctors left.
The cassette was very old, and most of the words on it were scrapped off. Stella could only see the word “Opera Master” on it.
“Miss, do you remember which cassette was playing when my mom had a reaction last time?”
“I can’t really recall, but I can remember a small part of it. I can hum it to you.”
Stella waited eagerly.
The caretaker immediately asked after she hummed it, “How was it? Can you recognize which one it was? This is the part I remember the most!”
Stella kept quiet.
The caretaker really did just hum a small part of it without a single word and it was not even on beat.
Stella had been listening to the cassettes growing up. Even though she did not listen to all of them, so she could only remember at least eighty percent of them. However, she just could not recognize which one the caretaker was referring to.
Stella said while trying not to crush the caretaker’s confidence, “I don’t think I’ve heard this.‘
The caretaker was very enthusiastic. “Was it not clear enough? I’ll hum again!”
“It’s fine.” Stella put the cassette on the table. Then, she turned around and said to her, “Miss, would you just play these cassettes in order from now on, and see which ones can make my mom have a reaction? Then, only play those on repeat.”
“Okay.”
Stella tried to sleep on the extra bed for the night. The rollaway bed was so hard that she felt sore all over her body.
The next morning, she woke up before daylight.
Keegan looked at her clothes and said in a deep voice, “Where were you last night?”
Stella replied in a perfunctory manner, “A friend’s house.”
“Which friend?” Clearly, Keegan did not believe her. “What friends do you have in Rivera other than Felicity?”
‘Why the hell is he questioning me like this?‘
Stella was mad. ‘How could he have the audacity to ask me this when he left with another woman last night?‘
Then, she casually said, “I have plenty of other friends. But, Felicity is the only one you know.”
Keegan spoke after pausing for a moment. “Why didn’t you tell me that you weren’t coming back to sleep?”
“My phone broke.”
That was the most righteous and perfect reason ever.
