Chapter 9
Once my mother’s post went live, many parents with similar experiences came forward to support her.
“My child was also sent to the countryside while we worked in the city to provide a better life. At first, she video–called us daily, but then she grew impatient and spoke to us less and less. This mother’s experience is just like mine!”
“Honestly, children who grow up away from their parents have little emotional connection to them. They become insecure, sensitive, and introverted, leading to trouble as they grow up.”
“Let’s not blame the mother. It’s not her fault. Her daughter concealed her illness. Given their financial situation, it’s unlikely they were trying to scam the hospital. They simply couldn’t accept the reality, and their emotions broke down.”
Initially, things should have calmed down, fading from the public eye over time.
However, Jennifer, seeing the shift in sentiment, hired a team of trolls to attack me online.
“I am Judith’s neighbor from the countryside. She was always disobedient, and her uncle and aunt were heartbroken. I heard that to avoid going to school, she once knelt down at her doorstep for the whole village to see!”
“I remember that Judith didn’t want to attend school. She started kindergarten at six, which was not in line with the standard enrollment norms. It was only due to a benevolent
individual that she was admitted despite the irregularities.”
To my surprise, Matt also registered an account to join the fray.
“I am Judith’s ex–boyfriend from before college. We broke up because I couldn’t stand Judith’s attitude toward her studies. She was highly unprofessional, breaking the rules by entering the lab without permission and damaging equipment, which left me with a huge debt. If her sister hadn’t stepped in to help, my future would have been ruined.
Looking at Matt and Jennifer’s spiteful faces, I was so angry that I trembled all over.
How could they slander me like this!
Yet, such blatant falsehoods convinced many online.
“My goodness, this needs to be investigated. How did she even get hired as a doctor!”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“Friends, here’s a shocking revelation. The benevolent person who got Judith into kindergarten is the very director of the hospital she works at!”
“This girl was a poor student sponsored by this dean. After graduation, she went straight to this hospital and got to the operating table shortly after that. Is this compliant?”
“It’s obvious there was some shady maneuvering. Is the director’s wife aware of this? You should check if her husband is being unfaithful to you.”
As I closed my eyes, I couldn’t help but scream in my heart.
“How could people be so gullible, believing in something that doesn’t even exist?”
“Don’t they realize how harmful this is!”
Yet the online users were deep in their misguided analysis, unable to extricate themselves.
An hour later, the hospital director used the official account to release my handwritten will.
To ensure the authenticity, the director even enlisted a handwriting expert to compare the will with my medical notes.
“Judith was an outstanding doctor at our hospital. Every year, our hospital runs a targeted poverty alleviation program. Besides Judith, there are three other medical staff members here who were once recipients of our aid.
“We hope that people will not blindly believe online rumors. The deceased is gone; let us grant them peace.”
