Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 585

It seemed like the concert would eventually meet its demise! It was just a matter of severity!

As Alicia turned around, she watched as the two figures slipped away to the corner. She resisted her curiosity and continued dancing.

Soon, an assistant hurried over to Alicia's side, "Miss Swift, Mr. Forbes is waiting for you!"

"Oh, what's the matter? I'm still rehearsing at the moment..."

As soon as she heard that, Alicia's heart skipped a beat. She wasn't sure but it was probably unlikely they would suspect her. Since it had come to this point, she wasn't afraid even if the doctor told him the truth!

The female assistant looked around, then whispered in Alicia's ear, "Something happened. I think they're looking for you to discuss some countermeasures!"

"Okay, let's go then! Let me grab my coat."

Shortly, they reached a small private room on the other side. It was a financial custody office, but at that moment, it became the place where Sebastian, the doctor, and his assistant gathered.

Right as Alicia walked in, the doctor had packed his medical instruments and said,

"Bacterial infection, tonsillitis, swelling, and vocal cord damage. I'll prescribe some antiinflammatory drugs for you first. But if it persists, you'll have to visit the hospital for a detailed examination."

"Doctor, are there any remedies for it?! How could this happen? I still have a concert, coughs..."

"Please Doctor Henwick, isn't there anything you can do about it? How could this happen? Was someone plotting against Sebastian? Otherwise, how could he lose his voice out of nowhere? Please give him immediate medication for it!"

Both Sebastian and his manager plead anxiously. The doctor waved his hand and roared,

"Have you never had a cold before? Everyone knows that tonsillitis isn't a big problem! No need to be so paranoid! I know you're anxious, but you can't just simply take a remedy because you're desperate! Stress and irregular rest can lead to inflammation. This is all normal! Drugs only function as an assistant to a speedy recovery. Even so, it will need time to take full effect. Besides, I've already given you the best antiinflammatory injection. Even if the inflammation is cured right now, you'll still need to rest to recover!

As the saying goes, illness comes like a tidal wave but leaves like molasses in January. You still need to face reality and believe in science! All I can do is do my best. I can't make any promises!"

"If you insist on pushing your voice further, then I can't guarantee the consequences! I'm a doctor, not a God, okay?"

"I've done my best. If you don't believe me, feel free to find another doctor!"

After prescribing medication, the doctor threw it over impatiently and said, "You can find these from any drug store!"

Shortly, he gathered his belongings and waved his hand before he strode off...

"What on earth should we do?"

"The concert's about to start! We can't possibly call it off now! Moreover, we've sold out two floors and even the VIP sections! We're talking about more than 8,000 tickets here! We can't cancel it now either!"

"With Sebastian's current condition, he's clearly unable to sing for the entire concert. If we call it off now, we'll probably suffer major losses for it. Moreover, it's surprising that we can sell out the concert this time! We have no choice but to take the risk, someone has to lip- sync or replace Sebastian to sing on stage!"

At this moment, Sebastian's manager scratched his hair in obvious annoyance.

"Lip- syncing and singing live are very much different. If we were to find a replacement, where would we possibly find someone that sounds exactly like Sebastian? More importantly, there are a few new songs too!"

While the others were helplessly arguing with one another, Alicia suddenly said, "I have an idea that might work!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on Alicia.

Alicia had to make sure the concert could carry on as scheduled. So, she slowly explained after thinking for a while.

"We can do both! I'm certain that Sebastian can afford to sing at least one song! The opening act is the most important, so after that, Sebastian can lip-sync to the pre-recorded tracks! This ensures that the crowd will not be disappointed in the concert. For the rest of the show, we can enhance the stage effects. After two songs, Sebastian will still have to personally sing one song. It doesn't matter if it sounds good or bad. If he stops for a moment or two to interact with the crowd, everyone will believe that he's using his actual voice. Later on, we can continue to play the prerecorded tracks in addition to the guest appearances. It'll also be wise to find some replacement singers for Sebastian. Let the replacement stay close to Sebastian, that way, when Sebastian stops singing, they can stop as well and we won't get caught. In between, Sebastian can interact with the crowd a few more times. As long as they cooperate well when Sebastian opens his mouth and glances at the replacement, and as long as the lights and camera avoid the replacement, no one will ever suspect a single thing. Even if the audience thinks that it sounds like pre-recorded tracks, doing so will dispel their doubts. After repeating this process two or three times, Sebastian will have to personally sing the closing song and it wouldn't be a big deal whether his voice sounds good or bad. The concert doesn't need to be perfect, as long as the flaws aren't too significant, isn't it? Besides, the more flaws we show to them, the more genuine we'll seem. The audience wouldn’t be too demanding and we have no other choice.."

Would this be any different from fraud? Alicia had to ensure that Sebastian was heading toward a path of no return!

Everyone thought Alicia's plan was workable and it lowered everybody's difficulty. In that instance, Sebastian immediately agreed to the plan.

"Good idea! Wasn't there a person who could imitate my voice fairly similarly? We should get him to help. It shouldn't be a problem if we pay him a good price! That person is just a small fry. If anything, I'll take care of him when I'm famous in the future. I'm certain that he'll appreciate this opportunity!"
