Chapter 23
“The threshold to become a parent in this world is too low. It's too difficult for the
children if people choose to give birth but don't raise the child.”
The audience sympathized with the “honest and simple” Yeomans family,
expressing their anger.
lan turned to Adam. He asked, “Your mother left when you were only five years
old. Don't you resent
her?”
“I don’t hate my mother because...” Adam choked up, “My grandma and dad told
me that my mom didn’t marry my dad willingly. My dad borrowed 30 thousand
dollars to “acquire* my mom as his wife.
“Even though grandma and dad were kind to her, my mom had no feelings for my
dad and didn’t want to stay in that place. I understand her, but it's been hard
growing up without a mom. I really miss her. I want to meet her and ask why she
didn’t want me.”
As expected, a murmur rose from the audience as Adam spoke.
“What? They acquired her to be his a wife?”
“Is this about human trafficking or a marriage arranged by her paternal family?”
“Could it be an arranged marriage?”
“Even it was arranged, the child is innocent.”
Waiting to appear on the other side of the stage, Anne heard the audience's
discussion. She was so infuriated that her eyes reddened.
She couldn't help but burst out, “Why don't you tell everyone that Wanda was
trafficked and sold to your family!”
Staff members quickly escorted Anne away.
The revelation stirred the audience.
“What? This young man’s mother was trafficked?”
“Oh dear. Women who are trafficked often meet tragic fates!”
“It's no wonder she ran away! My goodness! Who wouldn't run in that situation?”
A child born to a trafficked woman seeking his mother was the explosive highlight
and topic lan wanted for the episode.
Reading the audience's reaction, Adam quickly added, “My dad was imprisoned
because of this. He's realized his mistake over the years in jail. He's here today
to see my mom and apologize to her for his ignorance of the law back then. He's
deeply remorseful.”
Wayne spoke timidly, “It was my mistake, I admit. I've served time in prison as
atonement. But the child is innocent!

In the studio, the recorded phone conversation with Dr. Harrison began.
Dr. Harrison recalled the trafficked woman vividly, “The injuries on her body, both
new and old, were heart-wrenching. Her leg was broken, and her mental state
was very poor.
“She eventually died on the operating table due to excessive bleeding. Her
mother begged me on her knees to save her daughter, offering any amount of
