Chapter 377: Moved to Tears
Hayleyโs POV
Cheers and applause surged through the venue like an unstoppable tide, wave after wave. The atmosphere was electrifying. As I scanned the crowd, my heart swelled with emotion. I took a deep breath and said, โIโm sorry for keeping you all waiting.โ
โWelcome back!โ the audience chanted in perfect harmony, repeating the phrase three times. Their enthusiasm was contagious, leaving me so moved that I struggled to regain my composure, with tears threatening to spill.
The host smiled and said, โItโs clear Harmony can feel how much everyone here cares. As a longtime fan myself, itโs a thrill to see you back on stage.โ
โHarmony, is there anything youโd like to share with your fans right now?โ
I took the microphone, my gaze sweeping across the thousands of fans before me. Smiling warmly, I began, โFirst, thank you all for being here. Honestly, this moment touches me deeply. Being loved by so many people is an incredible blessing.
โIโm so grateful for all the joy and support youโve given me. Thank you for standing by me all this time! I truly hope that one day, I can return to the music industry and give back to you all with new songs. Thank you!โ
The audience erupted into applause once more, filling the air with energy and appreciation.
โWeโre all hoping youโll make a comeback someday. There are thousands of fans still waiting eagerly for your next songs,โ the host said with a warm smile.
โHonestly, in the past two or three years since Harmony stepped away, Iโve still been listening to those same familiar tracks on repeat. Would it be possible to hear one performed live today?โ
The hostโs hopeful expression was mirrored by the crowd, whose excitement filled the air.
I smiled and nodded. โOf course!โ
The cheers grew louder, and even the host looked thrilled.
โWell then, letโs not waste any more time. Guys, letโs enjoy the performance together!โ With the hostโs words, the venue gradually fell silent.
โUp next, Harmony will perform a medley of three songs. Letโs give her the stage,โ the host announced before stepping aside.
Alone on the wide stage, I stood with my wolf, Hera, who encouraged me. I scanned the crowd, searching for Christine among the sea of faces. It took a moment, but then I spotted her. Relief and joy warmed me as I smiled in her direction, just as the music started, and my voice flowed through the microphone, reaching every corner of the venue. The fans joined in softly, their voices blending with mine in perfect harmony.
I performed three of my most popular songs back-to-back before stopping. When the last song ended, I paused, looking out at the audience. โSinging alone up here has been wonderful, but I feel like something is missing. How about we bring one lucky fan up here to sing with me?โ
The crowd erupted into chaos, their excitement palpable.
โPick me!โ โHarmony, over here!โ โChoose me!โ
The fans nearest to the stage cheered enthusiastically in my direction.
With a smile, I said, โAlright, Iโll choose at random. How about the sixth person in the third row?โ
Christine instinctively clutched her ticket when she heard the number, her excitement unmistakable.
โItโs me! She chose me!โ she exclaimed.
Beside her, Christopher urged her on, saying, โGo ahead! This is your chance to meet your idol.โ
โLetโs welcome our lucky fan to the stage,โ I announced, and the spotlight immediately illuminated Christine. She squinted and raised a hand to block the lightโs glare. Though slightly uneasy, her excitement was evident as she rose to her feet. Amid the envious stares of the audience, she made her way to join me on stage.
