Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90 

Finally, Ash was about to reveal himself! The netizens had been looking forward for a long time. 

The live stream’s comments explode enthusiastically, filled with mentions of Ash’s name. 

It was crazy, like a top celebrity in the entertainment industry had arrived. 

Glancing at the script in hand, the host followed the planned schedule of the show. Ashley and Bryce were asked to head backstage, leaving Matthew and Jessica on stage. 

Bryce’s fans were displeased upon seeing this. 

[Hey! What are you guys doing? Why on earth is Bryce leaving the stage. when Ash is about to appear? Ridiculous!] 

[And why is Ashley leaving as well?] 

[Damn it, they’re not even giving them a chance to be seen!] 

On the other hand, Matthew’s supporters were mocking this turn of 

events. 

[Isn’t it obvious? Matthew is Ash’s student. Of course, they would keep Matthew on stage.] 

[Just save it, you guys. Ashley has nothing to do with Ash. What will she do if they keep her on stage?] 

[Oh my, I can’t stop laughing! Well done to the show’s team for getting rid of the irrelevant early. Can’t wait for Matthew and Ash to recognize each other!] 

Although Ash had previously written songs for Bryce and not for Matthew, Matthew’s fans firmly believed it was just a coincidence. 

They were convinced that once Matthew and Ash recognized each other, Ash would take care of Matthew as he always did, treating him as his closest student. 

Matthew became extremely nervous on stage when he heard that Ash was about to appear.

In fact, he had searched for Ash backstage before the show started but couldn’t find him. Matthew still wondered what Ash looked like… 

Seeing Ashley being escorted off the stage, Jessica couldn’t hide her smug satisfaction. 

Matthew was about to meet Ash, and Jessica would also be honored as Matthew’s sister. Perhaps she would become famous after this show. 

As for Ashley, she could go wherever she wanted. Jessica didn’t bother 

anymore. 

At this moment, only Matthew and Jessica remained on the stage as 

guests. 

Addressing the camera, the host made a few jokes. “Asking Ashley and Bryce to leave the stage was the director’s decision, not mine. I’m just following the show’s script, so if you’re going to blame someone, blame. the director, not me!” 

After lightening the mood, the host turned to Matthew and asked, “Matthew, we all know you are Ash’s only student, and you’re about to meet Ash in person. What are you feeling right now?” 

Matthew’s fingers tightened slightly around the mic. “To be honest, I’m both nervous and excited.” 

“Can you share with us why Ash chose to be your teacher?” The host asked: 

Upon hearing this, Matthew’s expression turned wistful for a moment, ast if he were going back to those hopeless days. 

Jessica reached out silently to hold Matthew’s wrist, offering him support. 

Surrounded by so many cameras, she naturally wanted to play the role of a supportive and dutiful sister. 

Matthew slowly emerged from those dark memories, facing his past with. a smile. 

“I became famous at a young age. The first song I wrote when I debuted 

was a hit and earned me countless fans. After that, I went on to write several popular songs and won several awards.” 

“But I don’t know when it started, and I hit a block. I couldn’t find inspiration, nor could I write good songs. The new songs I released were

either criticized or ridiculed. 

“Many fans still had high hopes, expecting me to write great songs again, but the more they expected, the greater the pressure I felt. 

“The more arrogant a person is, the harder it is to accept their own 

failure,” Matthew said with a wry smile, “I was like that in the past, unable to accept my failures. 

“During that time, I fell into deep self-doubt. I struggled to write, never satisfied with my work, growing more and more disgusted with myself. From a rising star to a mired mess, I locked myself away, too scared to face the world, even battling depression and thoughts of ending it all…” 

His fans were already in tears at this, sobbing uncontrollably. 

They were all too familiar with those hopeless days, waking up every day worrying they might hear news of Matthew leaving the industry. 

Little did they know, their idol had been struggling so deeply with mental issues that he had once contemplated suicide. 

Matthew glanced at Jessica beside him, smiling with relief, “Back then, Jessica also supported me. Although she doesn’t compose music, she wrote lyrics for me. Jessica, do you remember?” 

Jessica nodded gently. “Of course, I remember. I was worried about your condition, so I wrote The Brightest Flower’ for you.” 

Matthew frowned immediately. “Jessica, the lyric you wrote for me was “The Brightest Star.” 

The name signified that he was still the brightest star in the sky, even in the darkest moment before dawn. 

Corrected by Matthew, Jessica was startled and quickly covered her mouth, apologizing with a smile, “Sorry, Matthew, I got nervous and remembered it wrong.” 

Matthew didn’t dwell on this incident and turned back to the camera. “The person I’m most grateful for is still my teacher, Ash. 

“In my darkest and most desolate moments, when I thought of ending my life, it was Ash who found me online and offered to take me as his student. 

“At first, I couldn’t believe it, thinking it might be a scam. Only later did I

realize that Ash truly wanted to take me as a student and teach me composition. 

“Ash never criticized me, and he was never harsh on me. Nor did he burden me with high expectations that might have stressed me out. Ash was like a long-time friend, using methods that suited me best to help met find inspiration and create new songs. 

“Everyone knows what happened next. The album Ash helped me 

compose won the Most Popular Male Singer Award for me and became the best-selling album of that year.” 

Upon hearing this, the host couldn’t help but express admiration. “I had. no idea Ash had this side to him.” 

Matthew smiled, his eyes brimming with admiration and gratitude. 

“You could say that Ash helped me out of the darkness and rest confidence. Without Ash, I might still be stuck in the mire or pe have succumbed to the pressure…” 

Matthew paused, his eyes glistening with tears, and declared emphatically, “It was Ash who gave me a second chance at glory and 

The weight of these words moved everyone in the livestream, bringing tears to their eyes. 

[Oh my goodness, please let Ash come to the stage quickly! Let Matthew meet his teacher!] 

[By the way, is Bryce and Ashley just stay in backstage?] 

Matthew’s fans were buzzing with anger upon seeing the latest comment. 

[Matthew is finally meeting with his mentor Ash! Let’s not let Ashley spoil the mood, okay?]
