A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return Chapter 960 Stubborn Persistence

She was still anxious but had chosen to believe her brother without reservation.

Now, immersed in the night atmosphere, she seemed to have forgotten who she was. She sang the touching melody word by word, following her heart’s desire to “seek safety and wellness for Li Lei”. It was like the ups and downs of a wave, like the sweet sound of the sky.

She did not know how long she sang and did not even know what she was singing. The memories of her and Li Lei’s past floated up to her mind. The clear sunshine in the forest where they had met for the first time, his smile that was like a spring breeze blowing, his figure that had flown up the cliff in the middle of the thunderstorm to rescue her, the blood-stained amulet, the hand that had stretched out to her in the sea…

Li Lei.

He had done so much for her.

Now, it was time for her to save him.

She was stupid, and could not do anything right. The only thing she could do well was sing, so this was the only thing she could do to wake him up.

She sang till her voice was hoarse.

The whirling of the textured sycamore floor was like a flowing vortex under the effects of the light that resembled a blurry dream. It faintly echoed to the stars in the night sky. It was uncertain if it was but an illusion, but as more and more people were moved and the desire for blessing got bigger and bigger, the texture of the sycamore also seemed to be getting clearer and clearer, reflecting the starry sky.

She sang until her energy was exhausted, and fainted on the stage.

The concert did not end, and most of the audience did not leave. They were waiting for her to sing again. They had all been informed that this blessing concert would last for a long time. As long as Li Lei was still in a coma, this concert would not end. During this time, besides having the necessary physiological needs such as eating and sleeping every day, Xia Ling all but remained on stage and sang tirelessly about blessings.

They were all very worried about her body.

But they were also deeply moved by her love and volunteered to stay with her to the end.

As the concert progressed, the news gradually spread, and more fans came to the scene with great pains. Even many passers-by were so touched that they volunteered to join the team. The 10,000-person gymnasium was unable to hold them all, so the crowds gathered like tides outside the gymnasium. While holding onto their phones or small TV screens to watch the concert, they also raised signs that said “Early Recovery For Li Lei” and “Xiao Ling Hold On”.

Even the traffic was congested.

The Li family and Xia family had already communicated with the government to seal off the block to free up more venues for everyone to pray. Even Xia Moyan had come out to personally apologize to the public, saying that they had sealed off the block as a last resort and that all affected citizens would get compensation. In addition, he also asked everyone to pray for Li Lei.

More and more citizens were joining the blessing team.

On the way to and from work, during the lunch break in school, all kinds of equipment to listen to Xia Ling’s concert live broadcast could be seen. Many men, women, elderly and children were also reciting the words of blessings or praying silently with their heads lowered.

However, Li Lei still did not wake up.

He was lying quietly in the intensive care unit. The severe snake venom was making him struggle on the line of life and death. Sometimes he would have a relentless high fever, and sometimes he would be so cold it was like he had fallen into an ice cave. Every time the doctor went in to check, he would be shaking his head when he came out.

“Doctor, please be sure to save my grandson, at any cost!” Old Master Li stopped the attending doctor who had just left the ward and begged him. These days, he seemed to have gotten a lot older in just one night, and was just like a real old man, no longer full of spirits like in the past, but anxious and helpless.

The attending doctor looked at him sympathetically but had to say, “The situation of Mr. Li has not improved. We have tried all the methods possible. Whether he wakes will depend on God’s will.”

“Is there really no other way?” Old Master Li was desperate.

The attending doctor looked back at the ward that was separated by a whole glass observation wall. He could see a small speaker inside. The green light of the speaker was flashing, playing Xia Ling’s blessing concert. “The way? You can only pray that Miss Ling’s method would be useful.” The attending doctor said with a sigh, but he knew in his heart that unless a miracle appeared, Li Lei would definitely die this time. The snake poison was becoming more and more invasive, and his body organs were getting weaker and weaker. If this continued, Li Lei might not be able to keep his life, much less wake up!

He whispered, “Old master, don’t be too upset.”

After saying that he walked away.

Old Master Li suddenly leaned against the wall for support and slowly fell to the bench on the side of the corridor. With his grandson like this, how could he not be upset? “Xiao Lei…” He looked through the glass wall and stared at his grandson who was in the critically ill room. “How could you be so cruel, your old man has not died yet, but you want to leave me first? Xiao Lei, wake up soon, can you wake up soon? As long as you wake up, I will promise you anything!”

The turbid eyes of the old man held sorrow that could not be resolved.

On the stage, Xia Ling had no idea how many times she had fainted already. Every time she would only take a little rest before stepping onto the stage again. Madam Xia felt so sorry for her that she had to keep wiping her tears away. Xia Moyan was also very worried. Would his sister be able to hold on until the day Li Lei got better? The news from the hospital was not optimistic…

This was why he had told everyone that “there was no way to save Li Lei” in the first place.

The success rate of this method was only fifty-fifty, but the damage to Xia Ling was huge. Even her life could be threatened if they were just a little careless. She had just recovered from her serious illness, how could she withstand such a high-intensity concert? But he could not stop her, for she had already set her heart on saving him at all costs. The result could only be handed over to God. Xia Moyan could only pray in his heart and hope that God would be more open-minded and let go of this poor couple on account of the Xia family having accumulated enough fortune.

Xia Ling was exhausted again and was taken down from the stage to drink water.

Madam Xia distressingly fed the semi-liquid food with extremely rich nutrition into her mouth, saying, “Xiao Ling, it’s important to save Li Lei, but you must also pay more attention to your body. If you were to collapse, he would put all the blame on himself! Xiao Shaohui also needs his mother!”

Xia Ling was too weak to speak, and she only ate her meal silently.

She did not know how many days in a row she had sung for. Her throat had long turned bloody and hoarse. If not for the special drugs the professional doctors had prescribed for her, her throat would have spoilt already.

She refused to listen to anything Madam Xia said, and once she had finished her meal, she turned and walked unstably to the stage again.

Madam Xia looked at her thin back, and her tears flowed out all of a sudden.

Suddenly, someone called, “Xiao Ling.”

It was a low-temperature, mellow man’s voice.

Xia Ling did not hear it, and it continued to drift gently up the stage like that of a soul’s.

The man reached out to grab her shoulder, forcefully turning her over so that she was facing him. He looked at her fragile state, frowned and said, “You can’t go on like this anymore.”
