Wynter looked the woman in the eye. “I suggest you bring Hope to the bathroom first. Don’t let her shower. We can talk about the rest later.
The woman widened her eyes. Hugging her daughter, her hands were trembling. After a minute, she appeared in front of the camera again. Her eyes were red, but she didn’t cry. She was trying her best to control herself.
“Hope, can you go over there and play with the puzzles by yourself now? I want to talk about something with this lady.” The woman coaxed the young girl and tried to smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
Wynter then gave her some advice. “I think Hope should stay here. She’s more
sensitive than other children. You’ll have a lot of things to do after this. If you ask her to stay away, she might feel even more anxious.”
The woman lowered her gaze and looked at her daughter. The young girl wiped her mother’s cheeks. “Mom, I want to stay here.”
Hugging her tight, the woman was already crying. “It’s all my fault.” The young girl looked confused.
Wynter spoke up. “Madam, you probably know who that person is.”
There was nothing but resentment in the woman’s eyes. “I know. It’s him!” Nobody other than him had the chance to touch her daughter.
It was she who didn’t know better. She wanted to give Hope a complete home. That’s why she went out with the man. The woman clenched her fists tightly. “I definitely won’t let him off!”
The young girl shivered a little. “Mom?”
Wynter tried to stay calm. “Don’t be afraid, Hope. Your mom and I are about to fight a bad guy.”
The young girl’s eyes lit up. “I want to fight a bad guy too!”
Wynter smiled and said, “It’s already very brave of you to speak up about what
happened. Because of your courage, we know who the bad guy was. He wor the chance to hurt other children now.
The young girl finally smiled. “I did the right thing, right? Mom isn’t blaming me for
this!
With tears streaming down her face, the woman kissed her daughter. “Why would I blame you? I love you.”
Watching them from on the screen, Wynter remained calm. “Madam, please remember what I’m about to say to you, and don’t mess up the steps.”
The woman instantly sat up straight. “Please tell me.” At this moment, she felt nothing but gratitude and respect for Wynter.
Wynter spoke professionally. “You should first lodge a police report, then ask the police to bring you and Hope to the forensic department to collect evidence. All of
this has to be done within two hours.”
The woman nodded. Wynter glanced at the room in the background. “If you have the man’s clothes in your wardrobe, check if his hair is anywhere on them. Bring it along.
to be scanned for DNA.”
The woman answered with difficulty. “Sure.”
Wynter calmly continued, “Before the results are out, don’t do anything impulsive. After the results are out, proceed with the standard criminal case procedure. Remember, this is a criminal case and not a civil case.”
The woman hugged her daughter tightly. “I’ll do that.”
Wynter then softened her tone. “I’ll download a copy of my conversation with Hope just now for you. This is so that we won’t hurt Hope by asking her questions.
repeatedly.
“After obtaining the evidence, bring Hope to the hospital immediately. Apart from the physical injuries, she’ll need a therapist as well. I’m suspecting that it has happened
multiple times.”
“Multiple times?” The woman shook her head. She couldn’t accept what happened at.

But Wynter suddenly said, “It’s hard bringing up your child all by yourself, isn’t it?” Looking up, the woman stared at the young streamer on the screen.
Wynter smiled softly. “You have dark circles under your eyes. Hang in there. You have to protect Hope well from now on. And yourself too.”
All of a sudden, the woman didn’t feel anxious anymore. It was as if she was
energized. “I will.”
Wynter checked the time. “You should go now. You seem to be in Southdale too. If
you face any difficulties, you can look for me anytime. I’m at the Empathy Clinic in Waterview Alley.”
