As her concert date approached, she had to do something about the red mark and the swelling of her forehead.
As soon as she registered for the surgical department, Ruby called.
“Debbie, great news! Your latest concert is sold out. More than 20, 000 tickets in less than a second!” she said excitedly, as if seeing money flying into her pockets.
Debbie cto the surgeon’s office. There were a few people in front of her. She had to wait in a chair.
“I guess I have friends with deep pockets,” she said to Ruby. For example, every tDebbie held a concert, Ivan and Irene would buy a lot of tickets and then give them to their friends and ask them to go and support Debbie.

Debbie understood. She used to be Carlos’ wife, the apple of his eye.
Then they all thought she betrayed him. There would probably be plenty of malicious fans at her concert and she had to get ready for whatever the angry fans might do.
“Good. I emailed you the setlist. Please inform the sponsor and make sure the backing tracks and Light shows are ready. I’m not fussy about the clothes, so I’ll try them on then before the concert,” Debbie said.
Ruby nodded although Debbie couldn’t see it.
“How’s the new album coming along? Done yet? Maybe we could make a special pressing for the concert?” she asked.
“Not yet. I’ve been depressed for a bit. So no new songs yet.” Leaning back in the chair, Debbie closed her eyes wearily.
“What? Never mind. I’ll be in a Alorith tonight. Catch you later.”
“Okay, bye.”
Debbie hung up and opened her Weiboto check the comments. She wanted to know what her fans were saying. She had a Lot of followers on
Weibo. Most of them were stans of her music. But like any industry, she attracted a plethora of haters as well.
Sof the comments were vicious. And the commenters had been at it for quite a while, with threads literally thousands of comments long.

The concert was her big chance.
When the nurse called her number, Debbie quickly cto the exam room, where a friendly doctor greeted her with a smile. It was Niles. Small world.
“We meet again!” Niles observed. Even in the plain white uniform, he looked upbeat and attractive.
Debbie sighed inwardly.
“I was in a car accident and got into a headbutting contest with my steering wheel. So I’d like to find out if there’s anything to be worried about.”
The doctor nodded, agreeing to her request. After a few questions, he reassured her, “Nothing serious. I’ll prescribe sointment. When you get home, you can roll an egg on it, or an ice pack. It’ll help with the pain and swelling.”
“Got it. Thanks.” Debbie was about to leave the office and head straight to the cashier’s to pay the bill. She reached out her hand to pull out her patient’s card and the registration receipt, but Niles put his hand on the card and asked, “Does Carlos know?”
