Old Lady Wilson waved her hands frantically and eximed, “I can’t… souna… how could Mom steal your belongings? Besides, that bird’s nest is incredibly pricey, and as a poor old woman, I don’t deserve it…”


    Ignoring her, souna turned to Christopher and stated, “I need to share something important. I analyzed the detailed statistics from our live broadcast room. Our average number of viewers and the peak online count, along with our transactions and their value, have started to show a downward trendpared to yesterday. While the decline is minor—only two or three percentage points—it’s still a serious concern. Once it begins to decrease, reversing it will be quite challenging!”


    Harold quickly interjected, “Mom, isn’t a fluctuation of two or three percentage points normal?”


    souna replied, “It’s crucial for our data to be on a steady upward trajectory. A decline, even minor, is a dangerous signal. If we continue to drop by two or three percentage points daily, it won’t be long before we’re back to square one. We need to find a way to boost our numbers and keep them rising.”


    Christopher asked, “Honey, do you have any ideas?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    souna responded coolly, “I’ve been pondering this for thest couple of days. Just seeing you two lying in bed might be wearing out our viewers. I n to tweak the script starting tomorrow.”


    Christopher quickly inquired, “What changes do you want to make?”<fna345> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find{n}ovel</fna345>


    souna replied casually, “I did some research online, and pancreatic cancer currently has the highest mortality rate. I found that the early symptoms include weight loss and jaundice. You should focus on your diet and aim to lose about ten to twenty pounds in a short time. Then, I’ll find some makeup to give you a pale and gaunt appearance. You just need to act increasingly weak in front of the camera, and those viewers will definitely notice something’s off. After I ask you to check it out, I’ll pause the broadcast for a day or two and create a fake medical record diagnosing you with pancreatic cancer. It’ll be quite the dramatic twist.”


    Christopher was horrified and trembled, eximing, “My wife… are you really asking me to pretend to have pancreatic cancer? Isn’t that a bit too ominous?”


    He added, “Wife, look… I’m not superstitious, but the key here is to maintain a diet for weight loss. I’m still recovering, and if you restrict my food intake, when will I ever regain my strength?”


    souna wrinkled her nose in disgust and retorted, “Do you think it’s your ce to voice your opinion on this? I’m simply informing you!”


    With that, she turned to Mrs. Wilson and instructed coldly, “Starting tomorrow, halve his meals!”


    “Okay, okay… Don’t worry, souna, I will definitely do it!” Mrs. Wilson agreed, nodding her head in submission.


    Christopher’splexion drained of color. He knew he was still in recovery and couldn’t eat independently. He relied on his elderly mother to feed him spoonful by spoonful. If she restricted his food intake, he would have no way to satisfy his appetite.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
