Toby’s face darkened when he heard this and he walked up to Sonia, ready to watch the broadcast from over her shoulder.

She turned her head slightly to glance at him. As she was unaffected by the close proximity between them, she did not try to make him leave. Then, she clicked into the link which had been shared through Tina’s social media platform before being instantly redirected to Tina’s livestream.

At that moment, Sonia was shocked to see that over ten million people were watching the livestream as well and their messages were piling onto the bullet screen. The real-time comments popped up one after another in such rapid succession that the words began to blur before her eyes. I bet there are popular livestreamers who could only dream of such social media coverage.

In the livestream, Tina was sitting upright on the hospital bed, looking pale and weak in her patient’s scrubs as she cast her bloodshot eyes at the camera. As she addressed her audience, she spoke feebly, “Thank you, everyone, for watching my live stream today. I’m sure all of you are aware of what has happened to me. As a woman, to have something as tragic as this happen is a devastating and traumatizing experience. I know I ought to be recuperating now instead of publicly speaking out and making a fool out of myself, but…”

 

She broke off and tipped her head back; she sniffed as she suppressed her tears like she was putting on a tough act. Then, she continued, “But I don’t think I can take it anymore. I’m in shreds as I lie here on the hospital bed while the person who has done this to me is still living freely out there! So, after spending a lot of time thinking about this, I believe that I should speak out and ensure the person who has hurt me will pay the price!”

The viewers flooded the bullet screen instantly, voicing out their unconditional support and sympathy for Tina.

‘That’s right! Why should the victim suffer like this while the person who did this to her walks free?’

‘Good for you, Miss Gray. You’re doing the right thing by exposing the person’s wicked crimes. That person deserves retribution!’

As the livestream went on, Sonia’s hands that were on the armrest clenched into fists. Rage thrummed in her veins while she stared at the screen incredulously.
