"My brother did ask me. At the time, I thought that family was being outrageous. If that boy took money to support them, he’d be letting his adoptive parents down. I..."

The girl suddenly froze. She now realized the person she had been talking about was her own brother.

If this person was her brother, she was willing to give the money!

She would give any amount, just hoping her brother could be a little happier and that his biological family would genuinely love him, not just treat him like a tool to make money.

"You never considered that this person could be your brother, so you spoke with righteous indignation. You felt that the boy shouldn’t use his adoptive parents’ resources to support his birth parents, not even to help out a little."

"I didn’t know it was my brother! If it were him, I’d be willing!" the girl blurted out.

[Just sayin’, isn’t that a double standard?]

[This is a classic case of ’easier said than done.’ Now that it’s happening to her, she just accepts it like it’s totally normal? Wasn’t she just calling people who do that morons?]

[I thought she was just some sweet, naive girl, but it looks like she’s just another two-faced hypocrite~]

"I... I..." The girl grew anxious and felt wronged as she read the live comments, and tears streamed down her face.

[No way, no way. Is she really crying because she feels like we’re bullying her?]

[I can’t stand people like this. They mess up, and the moment someone calls them out, they start crying. Talk about playing the victim. Are we obligated to comfort you?]

[Selfish, self-centered... all she probably thinks about is her own future. You keep saying you love someone and would even give your life for them, but what have you actually done for them? Are empty words all your sincerity amounts to?]

"I’m sorry! I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have judged others so casually. This has taught me that you have no right to speak without knowing the facts. I now know that what you see isn’t always the truth!"

"Doctor Wen, thank you. I think I know what to do now. And thank you, everyone, for yelling some sense into me!"

"I won’t try to end my life anymore! I’ll take responsibility for my own choices! You’re all right. I shouldn’t just live in my own little world, only seeing my own pain."

As she spoke, the girl bowed to the screen. For the first time, a smile touched her face—a smile of resolve.

Whatever lay ahead, she was determined to face it bravely.

"Fellow Patient, you still have one ’after-sales’ opportunity today, you know."

The girl didn’t know what Wen Ying meant, but she smiled and logged off the stream.

Wen Ying looked at the usernames of the few who had been particularly rowdy. "I know there are actually cyber police watching my stream, so I don’t mind submitting the information of these... friends... to the officers for a look."

Wen Ying listed off a dozen or so names. Ten of them were alt accounts belonging to "Knocked-Out Tooth," and another she classified as a "fence-sitter."

"’Knocked-Out Tooth,’ I hope you have a very pleasant weekend~"

[Knocked-Out Tooth? Isn’t that the guy Doctor Wen muted? Did he come back on a different account?]

[I have a wild theory! Don’t tell me all these accounts belong to that ’Knocked-Out Tooth’ guy? I checked the logs. All these accounts have been making personal attacks and slinging insults, trying to trash the stream and Doctor Wen’s reputation. This is obviously a planned attack!]

[The last one Doctor Wen called a fence-sitter, so the first ten must be him, right? Damn! He gets one account muted and comes back with ten more? What did Doctor Wen do, dig up your ancestors’ graves?] 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"’Fellow Patient,’ don’t say such things. Digging up ancestral graves is bad luck, you should never do that. I’m a law-abiding citizen myself, you know."

[She’s still joking around. Guess that means she’s already reported it to the cyber police?]

[TSK TSK TSK, you think I’m afraid of you? You’re just a small-time streamer. You really think you’re so powerful and connected? Getting addicted to this act, are you? If you’ve got the guts, then have someone come and arrest me!]
