Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The Mother Who was Cyberbullied

Although a bit confused, William Zeller still didn’t interrupt Amber Livingston’s hosting.

After all, she was a professional anchor, expertly controlling the broadcast for the entire hour.

Quickly, the raffle system drew the first audience member seeking help.

Amber Livingston immediately read out the name in the live stream,

"A user named [Hazelnut Shell]—can you connect now?"

As Amber spoke, the comments in the live chat surged again.

[Curious who this lucky person is?]

[So jealous that they get to connect face-to-face with my dear Jingjing!]

[Did you forget there are four others?]

[Hahaha.]

[Why does the name Hazelnut Shell sound familiar?]

[Agreed, I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere.]

[Oh my gosh!]

[Isn’t she the mother from the recent children’s medical incident?!]

While the audience was typing, the live stream of "Inspiration" successfully connected to the person seeking help. Although the person was wearing a mask, many viewers immediately recognized her.

[Why is she everywhere?]

[This mom is incredible.]

[Still has the mood to watch a live stream?]

Some viewers began to make sarcastic comments in the chat, and a few guests soon learned the person’s identity through the scattered comments.

Recently, a medical incident occurred at a children’s hospital in a certain city. It started when a grandmother took her sick child to the hospital. The responsible doctor, due to fatigue, accidentally administered double the original medication dosage, causing the child to have seizures and die.

The child’s family immediately caused an uproar, as the child wasn’t suffering from a terminal illness, so how did a hospital visit end in death?

Although the hospital quickly expressed apologies, it didn’t quell the family’s anger.

What would have been an ordinary medical accident went viral online because, during a reporter interview, the child’s mother arrived at the hospital, crying in front of the camera, and then sharply demanded accountability from the hospital.

This was a very normal situation.

Yet, for some reason, online users focused on the young and attractive mother. Despite her sorrowful demeanor on camera, her makeup was flawless, and her clothes were fashionable, wearing high heels—the epitome of a city woman.

The focus shifted, and users began questioning the mother.

[Her makeup is so perfect, like she deliberately did it before coming.]

[Honestly, this mom is quite pretty!]

[Is she trying to become an online influencer from her daughter’s death publicity? Disgusting!]

[The intention is too obvious!]

[The child is dead, and she’s calmly demanding compensation? Cold-hearted.]

[She’s just trying to get more money.]

[Becoming a doctor isn’t easy; should his future be ruined over one medical incident?]

Clearly a victim, yet because of online remarks, she was inexplicably given other names.

The heated debates brought this news even to the trending topics for a while, until the show’s trending replaced it, and most users stopped following.

Seeing her unexpectedly appear in the "Inspiration" live stream, those who speculated she wanted fame seemed to find evidence, immediately insulting her in the comments.

Scarlett Jennings frowned slightly at the online comments, and before anyone else spoke, she coldly said,

"Please, moderators, clear the comments."

She then looked at the camera, a sudden sharpness in her eyes, "If you’re not sure of the facts, don’t wantonly speculate about others. Online violence can be criminal."

The other guests, uncomfortable from the sarcastic comments they had just seen, responded less swiftly than Scarlett Jennings.

Hearing her, they immediately asked the live audience to avoid careless speculation and understand that online violence is not acceptable.

Most were just there for fun, and hearing the guests speak, they stopped discussing. However, some stubbornly insisted on their right to free speech.

[We’re stating facts. Why are you triggered?]

[Reasonable speculation isn’t allowed? Who watches a live stream right after their child dies?]

With some not settling down, more rational viewers started to voice their opinions,

[So she looked like that when rushed over after hearing the news, so? Does she need to go home and make herself look more worn-out to cry in front of cameras?]

[Be human! Do you really have to criticize a mom who just lost her child?]

Director Clark obviously hadn’t anticipated the first help-seeker would be the victim of the recent medical incident, and immediately instructed the moderators and control team to clear the negative comments.

With the broadcast too chaotic, the "mom" finally spoke.

"I turned off the comments. I can’t see them, so you don’t have to worry."

Her voice was hoarse but clear and articulate, proving she was well-educated and rational.

The reason she inferred what the viewers were saying was because she’d seen plenty of malicious speculation over these past days.

There was no light in her eyes; she sat quietly in front of the camera, appearing to ignore the external noise.

After a moment, her gaze landed on Scarlett Jennings on the other side of the camera, as if explaining,

"My daughter watched your show last time... You just said you have Harmony Eyes... Is it true?"

A quiet question full of hope.

This immediately touched some viewers, breaking through their defenses.

Even though she hadn’t said much, a mom who had just lost her child asking someone if they really had Harmony Eyes left no doubt as to why.

Scarlett Jennings looked at the woman on the other side of the camera and nodded, her voice firm, "Yes."

The mother’s previously dull eyes seemed to brighten slightly at Scarlett’s words, then choked out,

"Then can you... Can you see if my child is still here?... Is she still here?"

Her voice was filled with restrained suppression, her eyes immediately turning red as she looked pleadingly at Scarlett Jennings, like clinging to a last straw.

Scarlett Jennings quietly watched her, and after a moment, her voice was soft,

"She is."

She said, "Your child is standing beside you on your right, watching you."

The woman’s pupils shook intensely, and she turned her head sharply to the right, tears rolling down her cheeks, her lips trembling as she cried out,

"Little Shell... Is it really my Little Shell?...

Are you reluctant to leave mom? I knew you couldn’t bear to leave me... Bella... sob... sob...

Mom can’t bear to lose you either... Bella..."

Crying, the woman turned back to ask Scarlett Jennings in the camera, "Master, how is Bella? Did she say anything? Sob ... is she... blaming me for not being with her?"

Scarlett Jennings looked at her and simply said,

"She’s talking to you...

She says, ’Mom, don’t die.’"
