I felt a strange tingling feeling in my scalp. How could such a coincidence be possible?"Hi, Ronald Baker. I’m Candice Leigh, the head surgeon of the hospital."Time was of the essence. I rolled down my window and suppressed my anger before speaking. I did not beat around the bush, "Your son, Robin Baker, is in the ICU right now, and I need to operate on him. If you won’t let me pass, he’s going to die."Ronald paused for a moment before laughing. "What mental hospital did you come from?"He suddenly reached into my car and seized me by the collar of my shirt. "I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll let you off easy, but if you ever put such a curse on my son again, I’ll make sure you get what you deserve."I was gasping for breath and struggling to break away from him. Only then did I realize he was in the middle of a video call with a woman.Then, he sneered and turned to the woman on the phone with a smarmy smile. "Did you see that, sweetie? That’s how you strongarm someone."He

Everyone in the livestream cheered, but nobody sent any gifts. I heaved a sigh of relief knowing that nobody was willing to be the first to step up despite the commotion.Ironically, it was their posturing that saved me.As it turned out, I celebrated too soon.A sinister look appeared in Ronald’s eyes. He proceeded to reach for his other phone, where he sent a gift to himself!"Wow! Thank you very much for the $10! I’ll put on a good show for you all to see!"With that, he warmed up his wrist before slapping me hard across the face. My cheeks immediately turned red and swollen. It hurt so much that I gasped from the pain.The viewers began to react."Attaboy! You did not hold back at all!""Oh my god! Are you going to get in trouble for this?""What are you taking pity on her for? Let’s see if you’ll still feel this way when she scams you!"After the first demonstration, more viewers began to send gifts out of curiosity.One, two, three…It did not take long before gifts c

His phone dropped to the ground. He turned to me with his eyes wide.It was his wife calling. He had to ask her to repeat herself to make sure he had not misheard, but was still in disbelief by the end of it.Then, he received another call, this time from his son's teacher.“Mr. Roland, I just went to look for Robin at P.E. class. He’s not there! Did he skip class? We take these matters very seriously. We’ll have to trouble you to come to the school!”Ronald cried out in fear and tossed the phone away. He was in full-blown panic and mumbling incoherently.When he finally came to his senses and understood what had happened, he came running to me right away. He grabbed my arm and tried to take me into his car while begging me to save his son.I shoved him away from me. “It's too late now. Where was all this effort just now?”Then, he turned to Officer Bernard. “Officer, please! You have to talk some sense into her for me! You're a police officer, you have to help the people!”I w

I scoffed condescendingly. What kind of idiot would try to extort money in front of the police?Officer Bernard's expression became glacial. He pointed at his body camera, "I have the whole thing on record. We’ll get to the bottom of it once we get back to the station."It was only then that Ronald found out that he was being recorded the entire time. He immediately stopped himself from blurting out all the ridiculous tales he was about to tell."Also, there's one more thing I need to ask you about. You seemed to have taken matters into your own hands and attacked the doctor. Do you have an explanation for that?"Ronald was so horrified that even his voice became shaky. "Me, attack her? That's a lie! It was self-defense. She attacked me first! I had no choice but to retaliate and protect myself!"Here we go. He was already making up stories to prove his innocence."Is that so? Why don't we look at the evidence and see whose story holds up?"Since we were the only witnesses on th
