Golden light slowly spread across the sky, chasing away the darkness.
The image created a powerful contrast.
It felt as if the girl was leaving the shadows behind… and slowly walking toward the light.
Adeline felt her chest tighten slightly.
'This… feels like me.'
It perfectly reflected the stage of life she was currently in.
She liked it so much that she unconsciously stepped closer, her fingers gently brushing against the edge of the frame before she quickly pulled her hand back.
'I shouldn't touch it.'
Before leaving, she glanced at the small name plate below the painting. "Olivia."
Adeline quietly repeated the name in her mind. 'I'll remember it.'
She smiled faintly.
'One day… when I have enough money… I'll come back and buy a painting from here.'
With that silent promise, she left the gallery.
Meanwhile, in another room hidden behind the studio walls, Olivia watched everything through the surveillance cameras.
