Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 359

During the ten-minute halftime interval, Lindsey seized the chance to pull Selah aside.

Concern etched across her face as she observed Selah’s injuries.

“Selah, are you absolutely sure you’re alright? How serious was the car accident? Did you sustain any other injuries?”

Selah shook her head, her voice tinged with a hint of disbelief.

“Honestly, the accident was so abrupt.

I’m still in a daze, but I’ll manage.

This audition holds significance not just for my personal pride but also for your future, Lindsey.

You’ve supported and shielded me all this while.

Now, it’s my turn to repay you.

Trust me.

I will triumph.

”

Lindsey enveloped Selah in a comforting embrace.

“I trust you, Selah.

Always have, always will.

”

With the second act of the audition commencing after ten minutes, Selah, having familiarized herself with the script, took the lead and stepped onto the stage.

Lindsey’s phone buzzed with a message from Nancy detailing the morning’s events at the Bay Bridge.

“This morning, a sedan collided with a commercial vehicle on the Bay Bridge, nearly causing the latter to plummet off.

Fortunately, a sports car intervened just in time.

Eyewitnesses report the sedan was driving smoothly until it suddenly swerved and struck the commercial vehicle.

The sedan driver has fled the scene.

”

A photo of the accident scene accompanied the message.

Lindsey’s eyes widened in shock.

The commercial vehicle in the photo was the one she had arranged to pick up Selah today.

The severity of the situation caught her off guard—

Selah narrowly escaped death.

With trembling fingers, Lindsey responded to Nancy, “The timing of the car accident, right before the audition, seems too coincidental.

It doesn’t appear accidental at all.

Someone might have used foul play to prevent Selah from attending the audition.

”

Nancy quickly replied, “How can I help?”

Forcing a smile, Lindsey typed, “I might need to use your identity as Mercer’s most influential fan.

”

As the second act concluded, Selah’s performance shone brightly, while Kristy’s remained more conventional.

Online voting surged, and at that moment, Mercer’s most influential fan made a post.

“I’ve learned that Selah was late today due to a major car accident on her way to the theatre.

Despite injuries and a narrow escape from death, she exhibited unparalleled sincerity and determination.

As much as I adore Mercer, I’ll be supporting Selah for now.

”

This post was way more believable than any random account’s remark, especially since it was from the most influential fan of Mercer.

A video surfaced online, showing a woman emerging from a wrecked car, disheveled and hiding her face, yet her outfit was unmistakably the same as Selah’s during her audition.

The internet erupted into chaos.

“That was indeed Selah, emerging from a horrific crash.

Without a word of complaint or a plea for pity, she stepped right onto the stage and performed!”

“Anyone else could have made the most of the accident for a drop of sympathy.

”

“It’s true that the strong would not dwell on their woes!”

“I feel so bad for Selah!”
