Chapter 686

“The medication I take affects my nervous system, making it difficult for me to perform at my best. To be honest, it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to play a piece that truly satisfies me.”

Hearing Kelly speak of her illness, the host’s eyes softened with sympathy and concern.

“May I… ask what kind of illness it is?”

Kelly smiled faintly. “I won’t say exactly. Everyone is here to enjoy the performance, and I don’t want to dampen anyone’s mood. But rest assured, my condition is currently under control. Participating in the competition won’t be a problem.”

The host instinctively glanced at her hands and suddenly noticed something alarming.

Kelly’s wrist bore clear signs of bandaging.

“Kelly… your hand… is it injured?!” the host exclaimed, his voice sharp with surprise.

The cameras immediately zoomed in on her wrist. Kelly’s long-sleeved shirt had hidden the injury from view, but at such close

range, the bandage was unmistakable. The lens magnified it further, making it painfully obvious.

Kelly instinctively tugged her sleeve down, but she didn’t adopt a pitiful pose as she sometimes might. Instead, she offered a

poised, graceful smile.

“It’s just a minor injury; it won’t have a major impact on my performance.”

“Not a major impact,” the host repeated, his expression filled with concern. “But that implies it still affects you, doesn’t it? How

did it happen?”

“I injured it accidentally. It’s nothing serious,” Kelly replied calmly.

The revelation sent the audience into an uproar.

“Good heavens! She’s this talented and she’s not even at her peak?”

“If she were at her absolute best, could she have matched Sharon?”

“Don’t forget, her hand is injured. If it weren’t, she might even have beaten Sharon.”

“If she could beat Sharon at full strength, Kelly would be terrifying!”

“Don’t you know? She’s Warner’s final student. If she weren’t strong, why would he choose her?”

“I heard Sharon tried to apprentice under Warner too, but he refused her.”

“Yes! Sharon even went to him three times, trying every possible way to meet him, hoping for a chance. And yet, Warner still

chose Kelly.”

“By that logic, Sharon kind of won unfairly, didn’t she?”

The audience buzzed with discussion, many feeling deep sympathy for Kelly.

Reina and the others were stunned by this revelation.

“So… Kelly is sick?” Reina asked.

“Teacher, what illness does she have? Is it serious?” Johnny chimed in.

Warner let out a quiet sigh. “Yes, it’s reportedly terminal. Quite severe. The reason I accepted her as my apprentice was because,

despite her illness, she could still demonstrate this level of skill. She truly has remarkable talent. Even with limited time, she has

never abandoned her love for music. I haven’t seen such genuine devotion in a long while.”

Niel’s expression softened, touched. “I had no idea… she never mentioned this.”

At that moment, David asked, “Master, given her condition, how do you think the judging panel will score her?”
