The appeal trial was packed.
Reporters, with official approval, live-
streamed, trending instantly.
Comments, within minutes, reached over a
hundred million, all supporting Lily,
demanding justice.
The internet was waiting for my conviction.
The plaintiff’s lawyer showed the evidence;
the audience was furious, online outrage even
greater.
At the defendant’s table, under everyone’s ire,
I understood David’s “kindness.
“”
He wanted me to face another trial, ensuring
my downfall.
As the courtroom was about to erupt, David
stood, claiming to have proof of my
innocence.
I froze. My family and Lily froze.

The plaintiff’s lawyer, confident, smirked.
“What evidence?”
David first had a video played.
The angle suggested it was from a security
camera in the living room.
Lily was affectionately holding my hand, the
other hand halfway in her pocket.
Suddenly, she stumbled, hitting her head on
the corner.
Clearly, she slammed a small red package
onto her forehead, causing a bloody gash!
After the video, the courtroom erupted. Lily stood, shouting it was fabricated. Mark cursed, “David, how could you do this
to my sister?”
David ignored them, calmly saying, “Your
Honor, this video isn’t fabricated. I obtained it
legally; its authenticity is verifiable.”
“Someone deleted the footage, but they
didn’t realize the security company kept
backups.”
Lily froze; the jeers turned to stunned silence.
I looked at David, conflicted.
He was helping me?
Had I misjudged him?
David played a second video.
Lily was in the kitchen, adding an unknown
white powder to a drink.
It was the pink cartoon cup she’d given me. My jaw trembled. After drinking, my stomach
churned; I ran to the bathroom, vomiting
violently.
Emerging, everyone stared at me with
disgust.
Lily wiped her face, saying it was okay, not to
scold me, it was an accident…
