All Chapters of Livestream Wishmaker: The One Request Denied: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

That night, that woman posted a video. In the video, she sat on an old and worn-out couch. The paint was peeling from the wall behind her.The woman described how she had been searching for her child for the past two decades. She explained how and where she had lost him, what happened after she reported the incident to the police, where she had searched for him, how much money she had spent, and how much hardship she had endured.She also displayed countless train tickets, bus tickets, and accommodation receipts before the camera. They were piled up into thick stacks, but one could tell that there were at least thousands of them."I don't blame Connor," she said calmly at the end of the video. "Perhaps he has his reasons. Perhaps he thinks that my case is too difficult to solve. But I just want to let everyone know that I will continue searching for my son. I will find him even if I have to search for another 20 years."The woman lifted the yellowed photo and smiled at the camera b

The next morning, I was woken up by my ringing phone.It was Dad.He rarely called me of his own accord in his entire life. Every time I asked him a question, he would simply answer me with either "Yes", "Okay", or "Got it". He would never give me another answer if he could use his three standard responses.However, I could tell that something was off that day just based on his tone."Your mother has been hospitalized."I bolted up into a sitting position. "What happened?""When she went to the grocery store this morning, she got accosted by a group of hooligans in an alley."Although Dad answered my question calmly, I could tell that he was suppressing the tremble in his voice."They shoved their phones in her face and recorded her," he continued. "They asked if she was the mother of the livestreamer who refused to help a woman find her missing child."Your mother ignored them. But when she tried to circle them, one of them shoved her. She fell to the ground and fractured her

Felicity completely abandoned the fake persona she had crafted for herself in front of the camera. She no longer bothered to pretend to be a heartbroken mother who had lost her son. Instead, she wore a sharp, cold, and calculating expression."Do you think that you're some sort of hero of justice?" she asked with a scoff. "So what if I sold my son all those years ago? His father ran off, leaving me to raise the child by myself. I couldn't even feed myself. Both of us would have starved to death if I didn't sell him. I had no other choice."A flood of comments scrolled past at breakneck speed."You had no other choice? You could have sold your own body! Why did you sell your son instead?""He was only three years old. How could you do something so cruel?""So why did she ask for help in Connor's livestream? Did she really want to find her son? Or does she have an ulterior motive?"I stared at Felicity. My voice was completely calm when I said, "You said you had no other choice. Fi

My phone vibrated more than 100 times within ten minutes after I ended the livestream.Notifications from different platforms poured in, informing me that I had received private messages, comments, and reposts.However, things were different this time.I was no longer being criticized. Instead, everyone was apologizing to me."I'm sorry, Connor. I scolded you in the past because I didn't know the truth.""I'm the one who called you heartless. I want to slap myself for insulting you.""Is your mother okay, Connor? Is there anything that we can do?""I'm begging you. Please don't retire from livestreaming. We've learned our lesson."I didn't read any of the messages because my thoughts were occupied elsewhere. I was busy packing my suitcase and preparing to visit Mom in the hospital.My phone rang again. An unknown number flashed on the screen.I accepted the call."Hello. Are you Mr. Connor Mason? I'm with the criminal investigation team of Elion Police Department. The name's

Felicity was arrested in a rented apartment in a small town in Solis. Apparently, she had been packing her suitcase to take a bus to the border when she was apprehended.The news reported that she had been screaming that she was innocent when she was taken away. She claimed that she was forced to sell her children—that there was more to her story that the public didn't know about.However, neither the bank statements nor the financial ledger lied. The results of the DNA comparison reports of the three children wouldn't lie either.Andrew texted me after he saw the news."They caught her.""They did," I replied."I don't really feel anything. I thought I would be happy, sad, or something else, but I feel nothing. It almost feels as if I'm just watching the news about a stranger."I stared at Andrew's message for a long time before I replied, "That's good."Andrew didn't reply.…George, the man who criticized me in his video, uploaded a new video on the same day.The title of
