“Has anyone from the Celestial Sounds Symphony called?” Jayden, surprised, turned to Driscoll. “Just arriving
with the soup,” Driscoll responded earnestly. “There haven't been any calls from the Celestial Sounds Symphony
in the last few days. | even went there to explain your absence and tried to ask for a leave for you.”

handing her phone back to Jayden, Elyse hung her head and retreated to her room. Observing this, Driscoll asked
worriedly, “Did | do something wrong?” Jayden shook his head. “It’s not your fault. You didn’t know about her
situation in the orchestra.” “What about the soup?” Driscoll didn’t know what to do. “Give it to me.” Jayden took
the tray and went upstairs.
Inside her room, he heard her suppressed sobbing. He walked over and joked, “Why hold back your sadness?
Isn’t it better to just cry it out?” Elyse was a bit unwilling to let him in. “Get out,” she said. Jayden said, “I'm not
leaving. | need to know why my wife is crying.” Elyse said, sobbing, “I've been expelled. Darren said the
assistant director, Abram, did it on purpose. Obviously, he hatesand did not wantthere.”
