At first, the men tried to subdue the woman as well.[]
But when they saw the crowd gathering behind her, they fled in pante[]
The stranger draped a coat over my shoulders and carefully helped me to a hotel.]
After I’d showered, she revealed why she’d approached me.[]
She was a journalist, like the others, who knew there was a big story behind my situation. She wanted to hear my side of things.
But she assured me I didn’t have to answer if I didn’t want to
“Why did you save me from those men?” I asked.]
“Weren’t you afraid I might actually be the horrible person they think I am?“]
Her face remained neutral, though I could see her hesitation before she finally spoke. “Whatever you did, even if you broke the law, there’s a legal system to handle that
What those men were trying to do was wrong. You don’t deserve that kind of violence, no matter what.“[]
“Your ex husband Jake has already signed divorce papers, and your parents have gone back to their normal lives.“[]
“Yet you’re still suffering from whatever happened. That tells me this can’t be entirely your fault.”[]
She took my hands in hers. “So can you tell me what’s holding you back? What’s so terrible that you can’t move past it?“] My nose tingled as tears streamed down my face.[]
I remained silent for a long time, thinking, before finally giving a bitter laugh. “Alright, I’ll tell you.“[]
It took every ounce of courage I had to reveal the truth to this woman.[]
She sat frozen in shock.]
I smiled sadly, waiting for her to condemn me like everyone else had.]

Instead, she suddenly pulled me into a tight embrace.
Tears streaming down her face, she said fiercely. “Olivia, you were never the one who deserved to dier“]
“Trust me. Just be brave a little more, a little longer. I promise I’ll help you get justice.“[]
My heart felt like it might explode []
Justice? I wasn’t the one who deserved to die?]]
After a long hesitation, I looked into her determined eyes and nodded.[]
A week later, the internet exploded again over what had happened at the hospital.]
The female journalist, Rachel, published our interview online, exposing my family’s persecution and my innocence.[]
Rachel dida 1 mince words “They formed a pregnant woman to abort, then arranged for men to assault her. This isn’t something humans do to each otherr Surprisingly, few people took Kachel’s side
The male reporter who had seen the test results came forward]
He publicly announced the shocking truth about what was in that report and why it had terrified everyone!]
After learning this “truth,” internet users flooded comment sections with hatred toward me
Holy shit, this woman is disgusting. Her parents are merciful for letting her live.”
How dare she complain online? Just the already!“[]
Chapter 6
“Rachel must be just as trashy for defending her. Someone should investigate how Rachel got her position.“[]
Rachel seemed to ignore all the vitriol, continuing to search for evidence to prove my innocence.[]
To prove that I was the real victim in all of this.]
But… before Rachel could find the evidence, my parents tracked me down.[]
