Chapter 235: A Lovely Voice
At Elysium Biotech Institute
Clifford had planned to fly back to the capital today, but an unexpected situation demanded his attention, extending his stay on Palan Island. As CEO, he was deeply committed to overseeing the operations, especially with the research facility gaining worldwide recognition. Ensuring that every detail was meticulously managed was a responsibility he took seriously.
He usually started his mornings early, taking his coffee on the balcony and watching the sun rise over the hilltop. The headquarters’ location was a prime vantage point with an incredible view of the island, offering a rare moment of tranquillity.
This morning, however, Clifford’s attention shifted when he noticed Kelly step out onto the balcony below his, holding a water bottle and a book. He was about to greet her but paused when he saw her clasp her hands and close her eyes in silent prayer.
Respecting her privacy, he watched as she opened her book and began reading, as she’d done each morning since yesterday. Her quiet focus intrigued him, but soon her calm reading turned into singing, a gentle, heartfelt melody that filled the space.
Her voice was clear and filled with conviction, singing:
"You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep, my faith will stand..."
As she sang, tears welled up in her eyes, not from sadness, it seemed, but from a profound sense of praise. Clifford found himself listening intently, even closing his eyes, absorbed by her voice.
