The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 6 Lily Left Him Breathless

Lily thought he’d seen her.

But a moment later, he gently tucked the blanket tighter around Elsa.

Clearly, he hadn't noticed her at all.

Lily’s lips curled in a cold, self-mocking smile.

Whether a man loves you or not... it’s always painfully obvious.

So obvious that Lily felt her wholehearted devotion had been the most ridiculous joke in the world.

She would never be that foolish again.

She didn’t look at John again-not at him gently letting go of Elsa, not at him walking across the street to line up

for cake. She turned away without hesitation and walked in the opposite direction.

Now that she'd left John, it was tto pursue her voice acting dream.

She had always loved the anNirvana-especially the character “Siren.”

That series had just announced an open casting for Siren’s voice actor. Lily had sent in a sample recording per

their requirements and had been invited to audition at the stuthe next day.

From now on, she only wanted to shine in the field she loved. Who cared about chasing after sman?

The next morning, Lily arrived early at the stufor her audition.

Siren was a massively popular character, and nearly fifty voice actors had cto audition.

They were drawing lots to determine the order, and Lily drew the very last slot. She waited for over three hours

before it was finally her turn.

She was incredibly nervous.

The director overseeing the auditions today was none other than Daniel Quinn, the lead director.

Daniel was notoriously picky and sharp-tongued. One of Lily’s favorite veteran voice actors had just run out of

the stuin tears.

If someone of that caliber didn’t make the cut, Lily’s chances were practically nonexistent.

But this was her dream. She couldn't afford to back down now..

As soon as she got Siren’s script, she sank into the scene. Her nerves vanished.

It was as if she really were Siren-the mermaid princess shackled at the bottom of the sea, refusing to bow

to her cruel fate, daring to challenge the heavens.

I'm not like you-cowering in the abyss, hiding like a turtle.”

Daniel had already listened to over forty voice actors that morning.

Many of them were top-tier talents with flawless voices and skill.

But something had always felt... off.

He was tired and numb. He felt like continuing the auditions would just leave him more disappointed.

He was about to end it early when Lily entered-and then he heard her voice.

At first, he was reclining in his chair, eyes closed in boredom.

But as soon as she spoke, his eyes snapped open.

And he recognized her.

She was John’s girlfriend.

He was stunned.

Everyone in their social circle said Lily was clingy and shallow, all looks and nothing else.

Who would've guessed she had this kind of talent?

Still reeling, he heard her say:

“Heaven's order? And what is that? Imprisoning the Merfolk in the abyss is justice? If justice is so cruel, I'll defy

it. I'll overturn the heavens. I'll rewrite the very laws of this world!”

Lily had the face of a sweet girl-gentle, quiet, like a moonlit flower. Every tDaniel had seen her at parties,

she'd been silent, well-behaved, sitting beside John like a soft little doll.

He never imagined that once immersed in voice acting, she could be so powerful.

Her voice carried Siren’s fierce pride as a mermaid princess, the stubborn elegance, and the enchanting grace

that only a woman could possess.

Daniel closed his eyes again, letting her voice wash over him.

It felt like Siren herself had risen from the sea, tail sweeping, chin lifted, walking right toward him.

She was the Siren he'd been searching for.

“Sir, I'm finished.”

Before the Ginger family bullied her into silence, Lily had been an astonishingly talented girl.

At fifteen, she'd earned first place in both academics and performance to get into the top broadcasting university

in Chrivaria.

During her college years, her talent and hard work had earned her countless awards and applause.

But after everything she’d gone through, and after being away from the industry for so long, she was no longer

confident.

Daniel hadn't spoken.

She gripped the script tighter in her hands, heart pounding as she waited.

“Lily.”

At last, Daniel spoke.

Her palms were already slick with nervous sweat.

“You did great. Cback after two o'clock to sign the contract. | look forward to working with you.”

Lily stared at him, stunned.

Then her eyes-those luminous, almond-shaped eyes-lit up like stars.

She beamed. “Thank you, Director Quinn. I'll cherish this opportunity and give it my best.”

“Good.”

His assistant looked just as shocked, eyes wide.

Daniel was infamous for being ruthless. No one expected him to actually compliment someone.

But this girl-her voice and expressiveness were clearly a gift from the heavens. He genuinely hoped she'd thrive

in the voice acting world.

She was floating on joy and pride-completely unaware that Elsa also had her eyes on the role of Siren.

Elsa had been one year ahead of Lily in school.

Before going abroad, she'd already made a nfor herself in the voice acting scene.

She believed in her talent-and she was John’s precious darling. To audition alongside a bunch of

newcomers felt beneath her.

Daniel was a mutual friend of hers and John’s. She knew how high his standards were, and she was certain none

of today’s candidates could impress him.

She had several friends working at the animation company.

Just as she was about to make that call, a message cin.

The voice actor for Siren had been chosen.

Lily.

The moment she saw it, Elsa nearly crushed her phone in rage.

Siren was a beloved character. Voicing her would guarantee tons of praise and fans.

And that wretched Lily got the part?

“John...”

Elsa was in her hospital room.

John was there with her.

As soon as he finished his call and walked over, she reddened her eyes and clung sweetly to his arm.
