Emma walked on, feeling as though she were in a dream. What had just happened with Ricard still felt unbelievable. She had never expected everything to go so smoothly. From accidentally meeting Ricard in the hospital courtyard to his invitation for her to teach him the harp, everything had unfolded so naturally that it was hard to believe. It was as if fate had arranged this opportunity for her, an opportunity she had not even dared dream of before.
This time, Emma had truly encountered misfortune, but as people often said, "within misfortune lies blessing," and this blessing was not simply luck. It was many strokes of luck combined. She had not only escaped the dangers of the fire, but had also gained Ricard's concern and gratitude, a man whose attention she had once thought would be difficult to obtain. The chance to become Ricard's harp teacher came to Emma like a gift from heaven, opening a new door for her, a new path she had never imagined.
