Steve had clearly noticed it too. His face turned pale. His lips trembled. He wanted to say something, but the anger in his chest made the words stick in his throat.
Some viewers in the livestream knew a little about medicine. Frightened guesses began appearing in the comment feed.
[Wait, something’s wrong with his color!]
[Why do I feel like… the old man might already…]
[Holy crap! Don’t scare me like that!]
[Oh no! Does the kid not know yet?]
Noelle forced herself to stay calm. She lowered her voice. There was a heavy sadness in it. “Kid… your grandpa… he… might…”
Before she could finish, the little boy seemed to sense something was wrong. He burst into loud sobs. “Grandpa! Grandpa, wake up! Please wake up!” His voice broke as he cried. “Don’t leave me! Grandpa, please don’t leave me! Bad people already beat Mom and Dad to death. I only have you now!”
His desperate cries sent chills through everyone watching.
Mom and Dad were dead?
Killed by bad people?
The boy had only his grandfather left?
And his grandfather was gone too.
The livestream exploded with comments. Shock, anger, sadness, and disbelief flooded the screen.
[What?! His parents were killed?!]
[What kind of monsters did that?!]
[Where is the government? The old man is dying, and nobody helped?)
[How can life be this cruel?]
[Production team! Call the police now!
(Government no longer takes care of people now. Honestly, it’s obvious this boy’s whole family was ruined by some criminal g If anyone planned to step in, they would’ve done it long ago!)
Noelle’s expression turned ice cold. It was more than anger now. It was the kind of fury that chilled the all around her.
She suddenly turned and looked at Sebastian Her eyes were sharp and determined in a way he had never seen before
Before she even spoke, Sebastian had already taken out his phone.
He had heard the boy’s cries. He had seen the heartbreaking scene.

Without hesitation, he stood up and walked to a quiet corner. Then he dialed a number.
“It’s me.”
At the same time, far away in a small rural county.
nside the county mayor’s office.
The mayor was leaning back in his chair, sipping tea and reading the newspaper, one leg crossed over the other.
The phone rang. He picked it up lazily.
‘Hello-”

nstant.
Osmond Allen! What on earth are you doing?! This situation is about to blow up! Right now–this instant–get your ass to Greenridge! Immediately! Something bad has happened! If you don’t handle it properly, you can forget about keeping your job!”
The voice on the phone made Osmond freeze. Ross Holland, the city mayor?!
Ross was usually polite with him. But now his voice was filled with anger and panic, almost bursting through the phone.
Osmond’s hand trembled. His thermos slipped from his grip and slammed onto the desk. The water splashed all over his clothes.
He didn’t even notice. He jumped to his feet so fast his legs started shaking. His voice cracked as by spoke “M–Mayor! W–What did ou say? Greenridge? W–What happened there?”

He felt dizzy. “I’m giving you thirty minutes–no, twenty! Get to the scene immediately! Handle it properly and ¡ive the public an explanation!

Then the line went dead.
Osmond’s face turned as pale as paper. Sweat covered his body instantly. A nationwide livestream?
