SWNOVELS Chapter 216
Chapter 216 The air was thick with tension as everyones heart hung in suspense .
Freya , watching Odalys closely , instinctively reached out to hold her hand Trn fine .
Odalys gave a gentle shake of her hand to reassure her .
She knew Freya was worried , but after all these years , and having already died once in her past life , these things no longer held any power over her .
As they watched the familiar face on the screen , Knox had now transitioned into a middle -aged man .
The youthful innocence he once had had faded , replaced by a more composed demeanor .
His presence radiated authority he was no longer just a policeman , but a figure who commanded respect .
With a deep voice , Knox continued , I confirmed with the parents , and they denied having a child .
However , upon checking their household records , I found they indeed had a child .
This little girl was their daughter .
So , I classified the situation as abandonment .
They refused to acknowledge her .
I returned the child to their doorstep , but they still showed no intent to clain ber .
The master who found her at that time believed it was fate , so , under my supervision , he adopted her .
I even provided him with a certificate .
I never imagined that , years later, this case would resurface , or that the girl would grow up to face such suppression .
But I believe that life is fair .
Today , I stand here in this live stream to confirm what happened for Miss Stone His piercing eyes seemed to look right through the screen , as if he could see the person on the other end .
I admire Ms.
Stones integrity and clarity .
She lives in the present , without letting irrelevant people interfere with her life .
Since they abandoned her back then and refused to take responsibility, no matter what she achieves in the future , no one has the right to disturb her .
Also , Miss Stone , I want you to know that , over the years , there have been several anonymous complaints filed against your biological parents for abandoning you .
So , if they harass you , you can now charge them with abandonment .
Knoxs words struck a nerve , sparking outrage in many viewers .
The boldness of his statement left everyone in awe .
Even the police couldnt stand to watch anymore .
I spoke to the police department before going live , and after the stream ends , we will upload these videos to our official website .
We want to use this opportunity to remind everyone to cherish the children they bring into the world .
If you dont love them , please dont have them .
Protect every little life .
Thank you Knox concluded , before cutting off the live streamh .
The internet exploded .
Odalys ..
Selah was crying Watching the video of the young girl in freezing temperatures her coat ripped off , dressed only in a thin shirt , her body nearly frozen , and her skin bruised with signs of abuse was gut wrenching Dont cry .
Theres nothing to cry about .
Its all in the past .
Odalys said calmly , gently wiping Selahs tears .
Im not doing this for attention .
I just want to put the past behind me .
Odalys continued , her voice serene .
The past had no power over her anymor Its fine .
Well protect you from now on , Freya said , a reassuring smile on her face .
Stellan and Francis nodded in agreement .
Weve got you , too .
Same here , Francis added suddenly , making everyone laugh .
They hadnt expected him to drop that line , clearly a reference to an inside joke .
It seemed he had spent quite a bit of time on the internet .
Itin crying , Odalys is so pitiful .
] I thought it was just hype before , but now the police confirmed it .
I just saw the police upload the video , and some medical professionals are saying the little girl was definitely abused .
] [ Quick , are there any paparazzi ! This is your chance , find out who Odalys real parents are ! ] 1/2 6:24 PM Chapter 216 The live steam had ignited a massive response .
Many people , having witnessed the cruelty of child abandonment and trafficking in the video , were deeply moved Viewers who had previously been indifferent to Odalys were now showing their support .
Odalys Twitter , which had been created only a week ago , had skyrocketed from zero followers to seven million , and then surpassed 10 million after the live stream .
Her empty Totter feed , devoid of posts , was the only clue to her silence .
Tm sorry , I need to make a private call , Stellan whispered , his voice filled with urgency .
He exchanged places with Francis and dialed his parents , but his calls had gone unanswered until now .
Still no answer ? Selah asked , her concern palpable .
Everyone was still thinking about what Odalys had said earlier .
They had all been focused on Stellans situation , Just as she spoke , Stellans phone finally connected , and a hoarse voice answered .
It sounded like his father had just woken up , his voice low and KTORCY Dad , its me .
Stellan said urgently .
His father seemed taken aback , clearly not expecting his call .
Are you done with the show ? Are you coming home ? Im busy tonight , your mom and I are going out .
You can stay at Grandmas for a few days .
Dangelo replied , sounding unconcerned .
Stellans hand trembled as he gripped the phone .
Dad , listen to me .
Whatever you have planned tonight , cancel it immediately .
Dont go out today .
Ive already texted mom , you should check WhatsApp .
Ive explained everything there .
Please, I beg you , read it carefully Stellans voice was desperate .
He had sent both of his parents detailed messages , explaining everything Odalys had told him .
He feared his father wouldnt listen , so he was making sure to follow up with a call .
That stuff ? Youre young and superstitious now ? Relax , Im tough , nothings going to happen to me , Dangelo said with a chuckle .
Dad , please believe me just this once ! Stellans voice cracked with panic .
Dangelo waved it off , You need to believe in science , stop believing in all that nonsense .
Im fine , nothings going to happen to me .
Tve already made all my arrangements .
Im going to prove to you that nothing youre worried about will happen .
Dangelo continued as he seemed to be packing his things , walking downstairs .
Alright , Ill talk to you later .
Im running out of time .
He hung up before Stellan could protest , Everyone fell silent .
Stellan looked back at Odalys , his voice shaky , You were right , Odalys .
My dad doesnt believe me ? Call your mom next , Odalys said quietly .
Okay Stellans hands were shaking as he quickly dialed his mothers number .
