Chapter 177

In the studio, the audience and guests were still reeling from the emotional story of a mother’s sorrow, so much so that they hadn’t even had the chance to wonder whether the spirit of her child was still lingering.

The abrupt ending of Winnie’s sentence left everyone frozen in place.

Even the woman on camera was taken aback, her tears momentarily suspending their flow. Candace had a sinking feeling she understood, but couldn’t bring herself to believe it. She tilted her head and asked Mervin in a hushed tone, “What did Winnie mean by that?”

Mervin, too, was slow on the uptake, his expression growing grim as he murmured, “I think she’s implying the caller wants to kill herself.”

This mother was planning to take her own life.

The viewers began to leave their comments.

“No way, it can’t be what I think it is, right?”

“Please no, miss, you’re still so young!”

“If it were me, I probably couldn’t bear it either…”

“I’m so done with people online who speculate wildly without knowing the truth. They did it to Winnie, and now they’re doing it to this mom!”

“When will society be kinder to women?”

“The show’s producers need to call the cops, now!”

“Please don’t lose hope, those heartless people online will get their comeuppance!”

“Oh no, I’m tearing up, her daughter is right there, watching her!”

“I need to apologize to her; I also commented online about how nice her makeup looked, even though I had no ill intent, I was just being honest…”

“Mom! Please don’t die!”

“Mom! Please don’t die!”

Please don’t die!”
