Chapter 465: The starlight ball
It was as if Allie Jean shrunk even more when Chi Lian tried to convince her to sing again.
"My body can never be healed, I have been to every doctor of good repute in almost every country in the world. There is no hope for me, I am too broken to sing again." Allie Jean said in a small voice. "I have the pictures of the people that died that night. I look at them almost everyday and I see their faces when I go to sleep at night. I feel so guilty for their deaths."
"Why, because it was your concert?" Chi Lian asked her.
"Yes." Allie Jean answered.
"I read online once that the fire was a started by cigarettes someone dropped in flammable alcohol close to the stage. It’s not your fault that a fan smoked at the concert and started a fire accidentally. It’s not your fault that people panicked and a stampede ensued which resulted in the death of those ten people. You have spent years feeling guilty and bound by things that were out of your control. It’s time you forgive yourself and find some joy, the best gift you can give those fans is to sing a song for them. Let the people know that you remember them and you grieve with them. I can heal you, I have people that can restore your body within one year but you need to sing again. Give your fans and yourself a reason to come back to life. The papers with the lyrics of the song are outside, pick one, learn the lyrics, you already know the melody. If you decide to fight for yourself then come and sing. I will leave out the clothes and mask for you to use."
Chi Lian had said all she could and also offered to help. But help could not be forcefully given, the receiver of help had to accept it. "You can see yourself out Miss Allie Jean, we do not have anything to discuss until you make your choice. Like I stated earlier, I have no intentions to sell the song.I can still offer you treatment for the burn marks and your arm even if you don’t sing but you will have to wait for a few months."
Allie Jean turned around to leave, since Chi Lian could not see her face she did not know if she was angered or aggrieved.
"I will be back to try again." she surprised Chi Lian by saying.
"I will be leaving tomorrow Miss Allie Jean, I will not be here when you return." Chi Lian replied.
