“Daisy, your private videos were posted on a paid forum!” I was bedridden after giving birth, and that message from my best friend chilled me to the bone. I opened the link, and in the HD footage, strangers by the thousands were watching my private daily life: breastfeeding, changing clothes, everything. The comment section was packed with filthy words: “I love married women like this.” The camera had been installed by my husband, Nathan Reed, two weeks ago. His excuse at the time was, “This way I can check on the baby while I’m at work.” With trembling hands, I tracked his phone. His location was not at the research institute, but at Wisteria Apartments. Standing at the door, a seductive woman’s voice pierced my eardrums: “Professor Reed, if your wife finds out you come to see me every day, won’t she be furious?” Nathan Reed laughed. “I posted the camera footage to a forum, and if she finds out, I can still threaten her with it.” So my body was the offering he had made to the entire internet. In that case, he could not blame me for being ruthless.
Daisy Lee POV When my best friend Olivia Hart’s message popped up, I had just gotten the baby to sleep. “Daisy, your private videos were posted on a paid forum!” I had been resting at home ever since giving birth, so how could there possibly be any videos? The next second, Olivia sent me a link. After I opened it, I froze on the spot. In the HD footage, every moment of me breastfeeding my baby and changing clothes was clearly exposed to strangers. My limbs went cold, and my stomach churned. With shaking hands, I swiped to the comment section, and the words there made me sick. “Her body’s out of shape after giving birth, but that face is perfect.” “I love married women like this.” “I’d love to go all night with this beauty.” The comments were dense, filthy, and disgusting. I covered my mouth and dry-heaved as tears and bile rose together. But at the same time, I noticed one thing: all the footage came from the bedroom camera. That camera had been installed by my husband, Nathan Reed, two weeks ago. He had said, “Let’s install a camera so I can check on the baby while I’m at work.” But now, how had the footage from that camera ended up on a porn forum? I called Nathan four or five times, but he did not answer a single call. I hesitated for three seconds, then opened my laptop and tracked his phone. I had worked at a tech company before, so this was not hard for me. I did not expect Nathan’s location to be at Wisteria Apartments near the research institute instead of at the institute itself. I filed a report with the cybercrime tip center, unplugged the camera’s power cord, handed the baby to Nathan’s mother, Linda, and went out. When I reached the door of Wisteria Apartments, before I could knock, a seductive voice drifted out. “Professor Reed, if your wife finds out you come to see me every day, won’t she be furious?” Nathan laughed, his voice lazy. “She won’t find out. I installed a camera at home, so I know her every move. I even posted the camera footage to a forum, so every man has seen her body, and even if she finds out about us, I can still threaten her.” The woman giggled and clung to him, and the wet sounds of their deep kiss stabbed into my ears like needles. Between gasps, the woman spoke again. “No wonder you’re a big-shot professor. Tell me, compared to your wife, don’t I make you feel better?” “Don’t mention someone so depressing at a time like this.” Soon, her high-pitched moans spilled out. My whole body trembled, and my tears almost broke free. I had thought Nathan loved me, so even though my health was poor, I had still risked my life to give birth to his child. In the end, it had all been fake. I raised my hand to cover my mouth and forced myself to steady my breathing. But my gaze suddenly fell on the trash bag by the door. A supermarket receipt was stuck to the outside: cat food, fruit, rice, body wash, and all kinds of sauces. I froze. Nathan was not having a temporary affair; he had already started living with another woman outside our home. No wonder he came home less and less, always saying the research institute was busy. So he had a new home. The woman’s coquettish voice came from inside again. “When are you going to dump her and marry me? I want to have a baby for you too.” The room seemed to fall silent for a moment. Nathan said in a low voice, “What’s good about having a baby? Your stomach ends up covered in disgusting stretch marks. I couldn’t bear to let you suffer, so just stay beautiful.” My tears finally fell, and I raised my hand to cover my lower abdomen. For this child, I had endured every kind of suffering: stretch marks, tearing, incontinence… and what I had received in exchange for nearly dying was my husband calling it “disgusting.” Just then, my phone received an encrypted email. “Ms. Lee, I know you just gave birth and are still recovering, but only you are capable of leading Mr. Black’s new project. Are you really not considering returning to work?” HR had already sent this email several times. Before, I had naively thought Nathan needed me to manage the household, so I had rejected it again and again. Now? I wiped away my tears and typed quickly. “Okay, I’ll go to California next week to discuss it with you in person.” I could not tolerate a cheating man, and I definitely could not let a man like that be my child’s father. If I wanted to raise my child alone, I needed a job, because only then would I have the confidence to grind that bastard into the dirt. I took one last look at that door, then turned and left.
Daisy Lee POV When Nathan Reed came home, I was sitting on the couch with no expression on my face. “Honey, I’m home.” Nathan smiled gently, holding a delicate fruit platter in his hand. “The institute gave out employee perks today, a premium fruit platter, and I brought it back especially for you to try.” My gaze fell on the fruit platter. The cantaloupe pieces were cut in uneven sizes, and several strawberries were obviously soft and wilted. This was not a store-cut, sealed platter; it was leftovers pieced together. A sour ache surged into my nose, because he had not been like this before. When I was pregnant, my morning sickness was terrible, and Nathan ran across half the city at three in the morning to buy me fruit and vegetable juice. When my feet were so swollen I could not wear shoes, he crouched on the floor and massaged them for half an hour at a time. He never missed a single prenatal appointment, and once, when the doctor said the baby’s position was not quite right, his eyes turned red on the spot. Back then, I had believed I had married the right person. Even when stretch marks crawled across my belly, and even when I tore and hemorrhaged so badly during childbirth that I nearly did not make it off the operating table, I still thought I was happy. But now, as I looked at the face of the man beside me, he suddenly felt unbearably unfamiliar. My tone was extremely calm. “My videos were posted online.” Nathan’s face stiffened, but he quickly returned to normal. Fake anger rose on his face. “What videos? Who posted them?” “They were recorded by the bedroom camera, the one you installed two weeks ago.” Nathan raised his voice. “Are you saying the camera was hacked? Don’t be scared, I’ll make sure you get justice!” “I already called the police,” I said. Nathan opened his mouth, but he could not say a word. In the end, he only pulled me into his arms. “That’s good. Don’t be scared, your husband is here for everything.” I closed my eyes, and it felt like a dull knife was grinding against my heart. I knew I could not alert him now, because I had to collect evidence before I could sue for divorce. After calming down for a while, I got up and went to Linda’s room to get the baby. When I pushed open the door, the baby was lying in the crib, sleeping quietly. I walked over, but no matter what I did, I could not wake the baby. The baby’s little face was flushed an abnormal red, and her breathing was shallow and slow. My heart dropped. “What’s wrong with the baby? Why won’t she wake up?” Linda was watching TV and did not even lift her head. “She cried too hard this afternoon and gave me a headache, so I fed her a little alcohol, and now she’s sleeping just fine.” The string in my mind snapped. I practically roared, “You fed the baby alcohol?! She isn’t even a month old!” Linda waved dismissively. “Stop making such a fuss. We all raised kids like this back then. It helps them sleep better.” I could not listen anymore and scooped the baby up. “Nathan Reed! Your mother fed the baby alcohol! Drive us to the hospital right now!” Nathan’s face changed when he heard that, and he grabbed the car keys and rushed downstairs. The car started, and I held the baby while my whole body shook uncontrollably. The baby was still sleeping heavily, her little mouth faintly purple, and her breathing grew weaker and weaker. Nathan stepped on the gas and ran two red lights in a row. Just as the car picked up speed, his phone rang. The car’s Bluetooth connected automatically, and a woman’s sweet, crying voice filled the entire cabin. “Professor Reed, help me—I’m so scared!” The voice stopped abruptly, and the call disconnected. Nathan froze for a second, then instinctively jerked the steering wheel hard. The car instantly turned around. I was thrown against the car door and looked up in disbelief. “What are you doing? Why are you turning around?” “I have to go over there,” Nathan said tightly, flooring the gas pedal. “Nathan Reed! Do you know your daughter has alcohol poisoning? She needs emergency care!” “Something happened over there too!” Nathan roared. All the blood in my body turned cold. Holding back tears, I yanked open the car door, and Nathan slammed on the brakes. I ran out of the car with the baby in my arms. Nathan stuck his head out of the window as if he wanted to say something, but his phone rang again. He glanced at the caller ID, then sped away with one hard press of the gas. I stood there as raindrops smashed onto me and onto the baby’s burning little face. I looked down at the child in my arms, and her lips had already turned blue. I could only reach out to hail a cab, but it was rush hour, and the rain was pouring. One taxi after another sped past, and no one paid any attention to me. Helpless, I held the baby and ran forward, but my foot slipped, and I fell heavily to the ground. The fall made my vision go black, and rain mixed with tears until my face was soaked, but I still protected the baby tightly in my arms. Luckily, a kind person found me and took me to the nearest children’s hospital. The baby was sent to emergency care, and I stood frozen, staring hard at the doors of the resuscitation room. I did not know how long had passed before the doors opened. The doctor came out with a grave expression. “The child has acute liver failure and needs immediate surgery.” My legs went weak, and I collapsed straight to the floor.
Daisy Lee POV The red light above the operating room was on. I sat slumped in a chair, cold all over. Hurried footsteps came from the end of the hallway, and when I looked up, I saw Linda jogging over. “Daisy Lee! What did you do to my granddaughter?!” Linda rushed over, her finger almost jabbing the tip of my nose. “She’s so little, and you let doctors cut her open? Are you even human?” My voice was hoarse. “You fed her alcohol, and the baby’s liver failed…” “Bullshit. You think that tiny bit of alcohol I fed her could kill someone? You’re targeting me on purpose, making this a big deal so you can extort the Reed family!” My whole body trembled, and I wanted to stand, but I had no strength. I said weakly, “I’m not arguing with you. We’ll talk after the surgery.” “My perfectly fine granddaughter was sent to the operating table by you, and you still have the nerve to talk?” Linda’s voice grew louder and louder, drawing sideways glances from passing nurses. People began whispering, and the way they looked at me carried a hint of judgment. At that moment, Nathan Reed ran over from the other end of the hallway. I saw his eyes turn red instantly, but I clenched my teeth and did not let my tears fall. “How nice of you to show up. Wasn’t someone looking for you?” I said through gritted teeth. Nathan froze, and his expression turned a little unnatural. “My colleague had an emergency. A mouse got into her apartment and scared her badly…” I suddenly laughed. His daughter had alcohol poisoning and liver failure, yet he had turned around halfway to comfort his mistress because she was scared by a mouse. I took a deep breath and looked at Linda. “From now on, you are not allowed near my child again.” Linda froze for one second, then exploded. “You heartless thing! I worked so hard helping you take care of the baby, and this is how you repay me?” The more she spoke, the more worked up she became, until she sat directly on the floor, slapped her thighs, and began wailing. “Everyone, judge for yourselves! This woman abused my granddaughter, and now she won’t let me, her grandmother, see the child! She’s trying to steal the Reed family’s bloodline!” More and more people gathered in the hallway, and someone pulled out a phone to record. I looked at Linda throwing a tantrum on the floor and only felt my stomach churn. I took out my phone and pressed 911. A hand reached over and snatched my phone away. Nathan lowered his voice. “Are you insane? She’s my mother!” “She fed your daughter alcohol and nearly killed your daughter!” My voice was shaking. “She meant well and only wanted the baby to sleep more peacefully.” “And you? How much sincerity have you ever shown me and our child?” I stared hard at him. Nathan’s face changed sharply, and his lips moved, but no words came out. I said in a low voice, “Are you going to handle this or not? If you won’t, I’ll call the police.” Nathan was silent for a few seconds, then said, “I’ll take her home first. She’s old and can’t handle all this stress.” I closed my eyes, and my chest hurt as if it were being carved open alive. I did not know how long passed before the operating room finally opened. The doctor walked out and removed his mask. “I’m sorry. We did everything we could.” “The child’s alcohol poisoning was too severe, and she was brought in too late. Her liver function completely failed, and multiple organ failure occurred during surgery…” The doctor was still saying something, but I could no longer hear it. I saw a nurse push out a small cart covered with a white sheet. Under the white sheet was one tiny little rise. That was the child I had carried for ten months and nearly died giving birth to. I reached out to lift the white sheet, but my hand was shaking so badly that it took three tries. I lay over my child’s body, and my tears fell one by one. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Mommy didn’t protect you…” In the hallway, only my sobs remained, until my throat was dry and hoarse, and even my tears had run out. My phone rang at that moment. Olivia’s voice came from the other end, urgent and sharp. “Daisy, why are you being exposed online? Someone posted on a forum saying you abused your child and caused her death! Everyone in the comments is cursing you! They even posted your photo and home address!”
Daisy Lee POV Numbly, I opened the link Olivia had sent. The title of the post was written in bold red font: “Mother with Postpartum Depression Feeds Infant Alcohol While Drunk, Baby Girl Dies of Alcohol Poisoning!” The poster wrote that I had been a long-term alcoholic, had lost control emotionally after giving birth, and had deliberately forced alcohol into my child. Every single word was false, but my photo and phone number had been leaked. The comment section exploded. “How can someone like this be a mother? Go die.” “That poor child had the worst luck being born into that family.” “Someone should dox her and ruin her life.” My phone started ringing, one unfamiliar number after another. When I answered, the person on the other end immediately screamed, “Murderer, why don’t you go die?” After I hung up, it rang again, and after I hung up again, it rang again. Text messages also flooded in, each one more vicious than the last. “I hope you can never have another child in this life.” “Aren’t you afraid your child will come for your life at night?” “Go die go die go die.” All my strength drained away, and cold sweat soaked my back. People came and went around me, and someone recognized me, pointing at me and whispering. “That’s her, right? The one online who fed her baby alcohol…” “Oh my God, she looks so normal, so how could she do something like that?” “You really can’t know a person’s heart by looking at their face.” All the slander pressed down on me like a giant mountain, but I did not defend myself and only held the child who had already lost her warmth tighter. After an unknown amount of time, I handed my child’s body to the nurse and walked to the hospital rooftop alone. The wind on the rooftop was strong, and I stood at the edge and looked down. If I jumped, I would not have to face my daughter’s body. If I jumped, I would not have to hear those people’s insults. I took one step forward, but when the wind poured into my collar, I suddenly remembered my daughter’s face. Her tiny mouth had opened in a grin, showing pink gums, and her eyes had curved into little crescents. My body suddenly trembled, because if I jumped, who would avenge my daughter? The people who had killed my daughter would keep living, without paying any price at all. I crouched at the edge of the rooftop and cried without making a sound. After an unknown amount of time, I walked down from the rooftop and took a cab home. I had to take the camera away first and preserve some evidence. But when I reached the downstairs entrance, I saw Nathan Reed’s mistress standing there. Chloe Snow wore a white dress, her long hair falling over her shoulders, graceful and pretty. “Daisy, I heard about everything online. Don’t be too upset. People online just follow the crowd, and they’ll forget in a few days.” Chloe Snow smiled just right. I stopped walking. “What are you trying to say?” “Your current reputation is bad for Professor Reed. If you really love him, shouldn’t you consider leaving him?” Looking at that face pretending to be innocent, I suddenly wanted to laugh. “Chloe Snow, what identity are you using to say this to me? His girlfriend? Or his mistress?” Chloe’s smile froze for a moment, and then she simply stopped pretending. “When you were pregnant, you cried and got angry over everything, and living with you was so painful for him that he came to me. You pushed him away yourself.” “Did he tell you that his monthly salary is deposited into my account? That the house under his name is in my name? That he still hasn’t dared to bring up divorce with me? Do you know why?” Chloe’s lips trembled. “Because he can’t afford to divorce me. If he divorces me, he’ll leave with nothing, and when that happens, are you willing to support him?” I stared tightly at Chloe. Chloe’s eyes turned red, and the resentment in them could not be hidden at all. I continued, “Actually, you don’t love him. You love the title of ‘Professor Reed.’ If he were just an ordinary researcher, would you still sleep with him?” “Shut up!” Chloe’s voice turned shrill. “With a mouth that nasty, be careful your daughter doesn’t get punished and die without a whole body!” My hand clenched tight, and a burst of rage surged up instantly. Slap. Chloe’s head was knocked to the side. “If you dare say one more word about my daughter, I’ll kill you.” Chloe covered her face, and tears instantly poured out. At that moment, Nathan Reed happened to come home and ran over when he saw the scene. “Daisy, why did you hit someone?” He glanced at the red mark on Chloe’s face and looked quite displeased. “I know you’re hurting, but what good does making a scene like this do anyone? Can’t you calm down for my sake?” I sneered. “What the hell is she, coming in front of me to stir up trouble?” Nathan looked at Chloe, and Chloe’s eyes immediately reddened. “I was only worried about Professor Reed’s career. I didn’t mean anything else…” Nathan waved his hand. “Chloe is just my colleague, and she meant well. Hitting someone is wrong. Your emotions have been very unstable lately, so you should see a doctor.” I opened my mouth, only to find my throat felt blocked. “Enough. Let’s talk inside.” As Nathan spoke, he reached out to pull me, but I stepped back and avoided him. Nathan’s hand froze in midair, and his face finally darkened. He frowned. “How long are you going to keep making trouble?” I looked at him heavily, with far too many emotions in that one look. “Nathan Reed, I’m tired. Let’s get divorced.”
Daisy Lee POV After I said that, I went upstairs, and soon Nathan Reed abandoned Chloe Snow and followed me. The air in the living room was so still it felt like it would freeze. “What did you just say?” My voice was flat. “I’m tired. I don’t want to drag this out with you anymore.” Nathan stared at me and laughed as if he were listening to a child speak in anger. “You’re still recovering, and I don’t blame you for being emotionally unstable, but you can’t just say things like divorce.” I looked up at him. “Nathan Reed, I know you cheated.” Nathan’s smile immediately froze. Before he could speak, I continued, “I went to Wisteria Apartments, and I know exactly what you two were doing inside.” Nathan’s face shifted several times, then he suddenly became earnest. “Daisy, have you ever thought about your own problems? After you got pregnant, your moods changed constantly. I was exhausted from work every day, and when I came home, I still had to deal with your emotions, so I was under a lot of pressure too. Besides, from your pregnancy until now, it’s been almost a year, and I couldn’t even touch you. I’m a normal man, and I have needs too. It’s normal for me to find a woman outside to deal with it, but in the end, I’ll still return to the family.” “So your cheating is my fault?” I asked expressionlessly. “I’m not saying you’re at fault,” Nathan said, shaking his head, “but when there are problems in a marriage, both of us are responsible, and you can’t push all the blame onto me.” I closed my eyes. When I opened them again, they were full of determination. “Get divorced, and leave with nothing.” Nathan’s face changed completely. “Daisy Lee, don’t go too far.” I sneered. “Why didn’t you think you were going too far when you cheated? Why didn’t you think you were going too far when you posted my camera footage online?” Nathan’s pupils shrank sharply. I did not give him a chance to argue. “You installed the camera, and you uploaded the videos. Did you think no one could find anything after you deleted the records? Nathan Reed, just wait to go to prison.” Nathan’s face turned pale. Linda, who had been eavesdropping, rushed out and pointed at my nose while cursing me. “You still have the nerve to mention divorce? You married into the Reed family, ate our food, and lived in our house, and now you want a divorce? Fine, pay three hundred thousand dollars, not a penny less!” Looking at that twisted face, I suddenly felt disgusted. “Your son cheated, and you’re talking to me about money?” “So what if my son cheated? That just means you couldn’t keep your man. Who can you blame when you’re useless?” My whole body trembled, and I suddenly understood that I had never been treated as family. I was a breeding tool, a nanny, a thing that could be discarded at will. I took out my phone to call the police, but Nathan snatched it away with so much force that he broke my fingernail. The pain made my vision go black, and in the next second, Nathan shoved me into the bedroom. “Nathan Reed! This is unlawful confinement!” I shouted angrily. “I’m your husband, and I’m responsible for controlling you. You’re too emotional right now, and I can’t let you go out and do something stupid.” I pounded on the door several times, until my hands turned red, but no one answered. The sky outside the window grew dark. After an unknown amount of time, I smelled something strange, a thick smell of smoke. I shot to my feet. “Nathan Reed! There’s a fire!” I pounded on the door like crazy, shouting until my voice cracked, but no one answered. The smoke grew thicker and thicker, choking me until I coughed violently. Suddenly, the door opened. But the person standing at the door was not Nathan Reed, but Chloe Snow. Chloe stood in the thick smoke, holding a lighter in her hand, with a smile hanging at the corner of her mouth. “Daisy, do you like the gift I gave you?” My pupils shrank sharply. “Are you insane? This is an apartment building!” Chloe’s eyes were cold. “As long as you die, your place will be mine!” The flames blazed, and Chloe locked the door, turned, and ran. Nathan was nowhere to be found, and Linda was gone too. I curled up by the window and gulped in the last of the air. Just then, the door was kicked open from the outside. Olivia Hart rushed in, soaked from head to toe and wrapped in a wet blanket, then grabbed my hand. “Don’t waste time! Come with me!” We stumbled through the sea of fire. Downstairs, a black SUV was already waiting by the curb. Olivia shoved me into the back seat, jumped into the driver’s seat, and sped away with one hard press of the gas. “The plane tickets and documents you asked me to prepare are done. We’re leaving tonight!” I looked at the Reed home growing farther away, my eyes numb. Nathan Reed POV Not long after, I came home from the research institute and found that the house had been burned. The bedroom door was open, and no one was inside. Daisy Lee had run away. I stood in the mess, my face so dark it seemed to drip water. Daisy did not have her phone, so I could only call the hospital. “Hello, I’m a family member of the patient in Bed 15. I’d like to ask about my daughter’s condition, and also, if the child’s mother comes to the hospital, please notify me immediately…” The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds. “Sir, the child in Bed 15 passed away during surgery last night, and we already informed the child’s mother on site.” The hand I was using to hold the phone froze. “What did you say? Passed away?” The world suddenly went quiet. The sirens of the fire trucks and the neighbors’ shouting all disappeared. I could only hear my own heartbeat. One beat after another, heavy and dull, like a hammer striking my chest. “Click.”
Daisy Lee POV The plane landed at San Francisco International Airport. I had not closed my eyes the entire way, and my tears dried, then wet my face again, then dried again. Olivia gently put her arm around me. “Pull yourself together. Mr. Black has already arranged everything, and you can handle onboarding this afternoon.” I took a deep breath and decided to use work to temporarily fill the hole in my heart. But when we arrived at the company, the receptionist glanced at me, and her expression looked a little strange. “Ms. Lee, please wait.” Mr. Carter walked over from not far away with a serious expression and held his phone right in front of my face. On the screen, Nathan Reed was sitting on a couch, brows furrowed and eyes red, doing a livestream. “My wife’s postpartum depression is very severe. Her emotions have been unstable since she got pregnant, and I’ve been trying hard to take care of her and comfort her, but after our child’s accident, she completely broke down.” He lowered his head and pressed the corner of his eye with his thumb. “She set fire to our home and then disappeared. I don’t blame her. I know she’s in more pain than I am. I only want to say one thing to her: Daisy, come back. I’ll always wait for you, and no matter what happens, I won’t give up on you.” The comment section scrolled like crazy. “Professor Reed is seriously so devoted. Where do you even find a man like this?” “Daisy Lee is just a crazy woman! She killed her own child and burned down the house?” “I feel so bad for Professor Reed, getting stuck with a wife like that.” “Hurry up and call the police to find her and force her into treatment. Don’t let her hurt anyone else.” I clenched my fists, and my voice tightened. “Mr. Carter, what he’s saying is false.” Mr. Carter had no expression. “The company is preparing the PR campaign for a new project, and every move we make is being watched by the media. Forgive me for being direct, but your current public image is not very suitable for onboarding.” “He’s slandering me. I am mentally normal!” “Public opinion online doesn’t care whether it’s slander or not. We can talk about reinstatement after you’ve cleaned up your personal affairs—” “Gregory Carter.” A faint voice came over, making Mr. Carter freeze in place. I turned my head. Adrian Black was wearing a dark gray shirt, the cuffs rolled up to his forearms, and his gaze was sharp as a blade. Mr. Carter immediately became respectful. “I was only thinking of the company…” Adrian’s face was cold. “Ms. Lee is someone I personally recruited back. No one but her can lead the North American project. If you can do it, then you take over.” After hearing that, Mr. Carter could only retreat awkwardly to the side. I did not stand on ceremony with Adrian either and spoke directly. “I need a livestream room, right now.” Adrian did not ask a single extra word. “The east-side conference room on the nineteenth floor is empty. Anyone who dares go up and disturb you can come answer to me.” After he said that, Olivia pulled me toward the elevator. After I entered the conference room, I opened the computer, and my fingers flew across the keyboard. When I hacked into Nathan Reed’s livestream, he was still broadcasting. Nathan wiped his tears. “I know many people are cursing my wife, but please be merciful with your words. She is a victim too…” With a livid face, I hit Enter and forcibly connected to Nathan’s livestream. The livestream comments froze for one second, then exploded. “Holy shit??? Is that Daisy Lee???” “What the hell is going on???” Nathan’s face went deathly pale, and before he could speak, I had already opened my mouth. “Nathan Reed, weren’t you looking for me? I’m right here.” “Do you want to tell everyone what you did one more time?” Nathan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Daisy, don’t be impulsive…” I cut him off directly. “You installed a camera in the bedroom to film me breastfeeding and changing clothes, then posted those videos on a paid forum for every man to watch.” The comments went crazy again. “A camera? A paid forum?” “That account was called Married Woman Watcher. Even though you already deleted the post history, you took monthly revenue shares from that forum, so do you want me to show your bank statements?” I said. Nathan’s face lost every trace of color. He forced the corners of his mouth apart, trying to argue, but I spoke faster and faster. “And then there’s Wisteria Apartments, where you and your mistress lived together for nearly half a year. That day, our child had alcohol poisoning and liver failure, and I held her in the rain trying to stop cars on the road, but you went to see your mistress because a mouse got into her apartment.” The livestream completely collapsed. The comments changed from cursing me to flooding the screen with insults toward Nathan. “Nathan Reed, are you even fucking human?” “Your daughter was dying, and you went to see your side chick?” “Holy shit, camera footage? That’s already illegal, right?!” Nathan suddenly stood up. “Daisy Lee, stop talking nonsense!” I tilted my head, and a faint curve rose at the corner of my mouth.I turned on screen sharing, and the transfer records, location history, forum backend data, and camera footage were neatly lined up in front of everyone. Nathan froze on-screen, and the expression on his face changed from anger to fear. The livestream’s viewer count jumped from twenty thousand to one hundred thousand, then to five hundred thousand. Trending tags shot up the rankings almost at the same second. #NathanReedCheated# #NathanReedFilmedHisWifeInSecret# Nathan roared and yanked out the power cord, and the screen went black. I slowly released the mouse, only then realizing my hands were shaking badly. When tears slowly fell, I thought of my daughter in a daze. I wanted so badly to hold her one more time, but I still had things left to do. This was only the beginning.
