Chapter 2 I Was Wrong

• I was deep in thought when the sudden appearance of my daughter from behind gave me quite a start.
• “Mom, can I head to dance practice a bit later today? I'd like to go out and have some fun for a while.”
• She gently held my hand, acting all sweet and affectionate. The malice she had toward me earlier was nowhere to be seen.
• I forced a thin smile and nodded at her. The moment she saw my agreement, she dashed off in joy.
• Undoubtedly, she was off to meet her good-for-nothing boyfriend again.
• Two years ago, I was a brilliant dancer in the spotlight, serving as the principal dancer of the Bearscaster Dance Troupe.
• My performances were always sold out, and I was celebrated by the dance industry as the leading dancer who seamlessly blended art with innovation.
• However, during one of my daughter's dance competitions, an unexpected explosion occurred at the venue. In my efforts to protect her, I lost my hearing.
• From then on, my dancing career came to an end.
• How could a dancer, devoid of hearing, move to the rhythm of the music?
• There was no doubt I was in a pitiful state. So, I shifted all my focus onto my daughter.
• I wished for her to follow in my footsteps and become a top dancer.
• My daughter had been learning dance under my guidance since she was little, and she had won numerous awards.
• I had always thought that my daughter enjoyed dancing, but she was just too playful and unwilling to put in the effort.
• I believed that under my guidance, she could become an exceptional dancer.
• But I was wrong.
• How could one possibly achieve success without a burning passion?
