When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356 Striking Resemblance
At first glance, Cecilia noticed that the woman in the video resembled a young Paula.

When she was little, she admired Paula immensely. She would often sneak peeks at videos of a youthful Paula dancing on stage repeatedly.

When Paula was younger, she began her career as a ballet dancer.

“Boss, are you done? What do you think?”

When Cecilia regained her senses, she thought it was probably just a coincidental resemblance. “It's quite good. However, I'd like to wait and see.”

“All right, I'll keep their contact information for now.”

“All right.” Cecilia then ended the call.

She dared not watch the video again because as soon as she played it, the scene that immediately dominated her mind was from her childhood. It was the moment when she had told Paula that she wanted to learn how to dance and was subsequently mocked by her.

“You're deaf! You can't dance when you can't even hear the beat clearly. Do you think you can keep up with the rhythm? Don't embarrass me,” said Paula.

Later on, Cecilia still stood on a stage.

Back then, she received countless awards, but Paula had never once praised her for it.

“What's the point of working so hard? Some things can't be achieved just by effort, you know.” Paula looked at Cecilia with contempt. “People like you, who're born with a disability, should stick to doing what disabled people can do. Don't even dream about achieving great success overnight. You're simply not cut out for dancing.”

Despite Paula's constant discouragement, Cecilia never gave up on dancing.

One day, when she was at a dance competition, someone took away her hearing aid while she was resting.

As such, when she returned to the stage, all she could hear was the cacophony, unable to discern the melody. Her performance at the national competition was riddled with errors, leading to her elimination.

After she returned home, Paula cut up her dance costume right in front of her, tossing her dance shoes into the trash bin. “Don't you dare dance in the future anymore. If I ever see you dancing again, I'll break your legs.”

Reflecting on everything that had transpired in the past, Cecilia curled up, hugging herself tightly as a slight tremble ran through her body.

The pain from her childhood was something she feared she might never fully recover from in her lifetime.
