Chapter 5

Penulis: Little Green Shoes
The courtroom fell into a deathly silence.

Even the sound of breathing seemed to have vanished.

Everyone stared at the man in the wheelchair with wide eyes.

Chris wore a loose black shirt, but the two sleeves hung empty at his sides, swaying lightly as the wheelchair moved.

Moreover, when the wheelchair turned to face the gallery, a collective gasp echoed through the courtroom.

The right half of Chris' face was covered with dark red burn scars, twisted like gnarled roots.

The hideous scars

  • My Husband Has No Hands   Chapter 9

    "Too late."I kicked her hand away and patted my trouser leg in disgust."I already gave you a chance in court earlier. If you had spoken one truthful word or shown the slightest hint of remorse, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. Now you want to settle out of court? In your dreams."I turned to the lawyer who had been standing behind me. "Mr. Zayn, in addition to the charges of 'false accusation' and 'blackmail', I would like to add the charge of 'insulting the reputation of a hero'. Also..."I pointed to the cleaning lady, as well as several large marketing accounts with millions of followers that had taken the lead in retweeting Yvonne's video, "Those who provided false testimony and those who spread false rumors for money — spare none of them. I want them to know that there are consequences to their actions."Jenny’s eyes rolled back upon hearing the words "insulting the reputation of a hero" and she collapsed to the ground. She knew that once she was stained with t

    The third time...The image shook violently, and the building's steel structure began to collapse.While running out, in order to protect the last trapped little girl he was carrying, that man used his hands to block the falling burning beam.He held his arms up until the flames consumed them, turning them to charcoal, yet he still refused to let go.The video ended, and the image froze on that young but determined face stained with black ash.It was the face of Chris Gomez, now sitting in a wheelchair without both his arms and with half his face ruined.I stood beside Chris with teary eyes, my voice choked but firm."Five years ago, he used those hands to give that little girl hope."Five years later, the hands that had burned to ashes to save lives are now smeared by you as evidence of sexual assault against women!"Yvonne Shaw, touch the dirty collar marks on your neck and tell me, do you even deserve to mention the word 'hands'?!"Do you even deserve to be touched by him?

    It was a segment of chat history recovered from Yvonne's phone cloud, along with check-in records from a five-star hotel."The night before the incident, Miss Shaw spent the night in room 1208 of the Hylton Hotel with the 'top donor' from her livestream, Mr. Andrew Lee, who goes by the online name 'Lonely Snow.'"Several chat screenshots appeared on the large screen.[Top Donor: Babe, wanna try something exciting tonight? I bought a new collar.][Yvonne: You're so naughty! You choked me so hard last time, the marks still haven't faded yet~][Top Donor: Don't worry! I'll donate lots of money to you!][Yvonne: Thank you, sweetie! Remember to bring the one with spikes, I like that one!]The crowd gasped.Those who originally still had a shred of sympathy for Yvonne now felt disgusted, like they had swallowed a fly.I pointed at the chat history, each word hitting hard:"Medical examination showed that the marks on Yvonne Shaw's neck are caused by the compression of something cir

    "I have evidence! He must have hidden the prosthetics!"A small group of Yvonne's die-hard fans in the audience began to whisper among themselves, thinking the explanation sounded plausible.I looked at the group of stubborn people and smiled coldly."Mr. Benson, right? You're supposed to have a law degree, yet don't you even have the most basic medical knowledge?"I turned around, pulled out a thick stack of medical documents from my bag and slammed them on the table."This is the amputation surgery record and disability assessment report issued by the capital's Jeshui Hospital.""My husband had a bilateral shoulder disarticulation! Do you understand? His arms were completely removed at his shoulders. Even the stumps were not retained!"I walked over and, in front of everyone, gently rolled up Chris' empty sleeves.There, there were only terrifying, deep scars. There were no stumps that could be used as support."Without stumps, how could he move a robotic arm? How could he c

    The courtroom fell into a deathly silence.Even the sound of breathing seemed to have vanished.Everyone stared at the man in the wheelchair with wide eyes.Chris wore a loose black shirt, but the two sleeves hung empty at his sides, swaying lightly as the wheelchair moved.Moreover, when the wheelchair turned to face the gallery, a collective gasp echoed through the courtroom.The right half of Chris' face was covered with dark red burn scars, twisted like gnarled roots.The hideous scars extended deep into his collar, looking immensely tragic.This guy was a "hulking" and "incredibly strong" perverted sex fiend with "rough hands" according to Yvonne.I walked over to Chris and gently straightened his empty sleeves, then turned around, my eyes piercing into the ashen-faced Yvonne like daggers."Miss Shaw, you said earlier that he wore a ring on his left hand, which really hurt when he choked you."I approached the plaintiff's table step by step, my voice echoing in the silen

    Yvonne replied almost immediately: "Challenge accepted! See you in court! Don't come crying to me then!"On the day of the trial, the area outside the court was filled with reporters and fans who were holding up signs supporting Yvonne.Yvonne, wearing a plain white dress, walked into the courtroom supported by her lawyer and her mother.When she saw me sitting alone in the defendant's family seat, a flicker of smug mockery crossed her eyes.The trial began.Yvonne's lawyer was the first to strike, his words sharp:"Your Honor, the defendant Chris Gomez took advantage of the enclosed space in the elevator to forcibly commit sexual assault against my client. His actions were despicable, causing serious physical and mental harm to my client!"Then, Yvonne took the stand as a witness.She described, once again, in even greater detail than before, the non-existent crime."That day, I entered the elevator, and the defendant followed me in.
