Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 133

The moment the title appeared, the entire family, including Mara, was captivated by the television screen.

"The name Mira is probably familiar to everyone. She's our powerhouse singer, and her songs are household names. But she has another identity…"

The show's host spoke eloquently, and not another sound could be heard in the Mercer family's living room.

Next, the screen began to play today's interview.

Mira was already famous, and as soon as the program aired, its ratings skyrocketed. Across Melvion City, thousands upon thousands of viewers were gathered in front of their televisions.

At first, they were curious. But when the host announced that Mira's score on the monthly exam was 725, with perfect scores in math and sciences, everyone was stunned.

When it came time for her to share her study tips, parents immediately called their children over.

"Come quickly! Look at how Mira does it."

Mira's daily schedule, in particular, caused a massive stir throughout Melvion City.

Parents and children, young and old, were all amazed by her discipline with time, never wasting a single minute.

"So that's why she's successful. It makes sense."

"It's true, no one can achieve success casually."

"Look at how she uses her time. We've all been wasting our lives."

…

But when Mira mentioned the perfect combination of physical labor, mental work, and music, explaining that it left her feeling energized rather than tired, it served as a wake-up call for parents who only focused on studying and students who did nothing but bury their heads in books.

It turned out that combining physical and mental work wasn't detrimental; they could actually enhance each other.

Right, right, they had almost forgotten. To study well, you first need a healthy body, and the brain needs rest too.

Simply sitting and studying endlessly was counterproductive.

At first, they had assumed Mira must be exhausted every day.

Since that wasn't the case, everyone felt they could try to emulate her.

Even if they couldn't copy everything, doing something was better than nothing. After all, who doesn't want to succeed?

Unfortunately, the family doctor was busy today and had gone home. It would take some time for him to get there.

Mara breathed a sigh of relief. She was only faking it, after all.

Worried about delaying treatment, Ethan called a well-known nearby clinic, and an old doctor arrived quickly.

Mara appeared calm and weak on the surface but was growing nervous inside. It would be bad if he discovered she wasn't sick.

She glanced over as the doctor began to take her pulse, with Adrian, Ethan, and Lacey all watching him intently.

How could she get through this?

The old doctor took her pulse once, then took it again. Lacey was nearly frantic with worry.

"Is something wrong?"

The doctor’s face lit up with a professional smile. ‘Congratulations!"

The Mercers, including Mara, were completely baffled. What could possibly be wonderful about a sick visit?
