The long speech stunned Hwei Ru. The woman has a good point, they can't argue about the woman's sanity because that is the reason the director behaved badly. Wang Xiu was vulnerable that night, not only was the woman drunk, she hit her head.
'Did I involuntarily participate in Wang Xiu's assault?' Hwei Ru asks herself.
"Counselor???"
"Counselor???"
"Ms. Bao???"
"Yes???" Hwei Ru startles as her mind flies back to her present.
"Are you alright, Ms. Bao???" The arbiter yells, he hits his gavel on the board to make the whispers in the room stop, "Counselor, approach the bench, please."
The counselor steps towards the wooden podium where the judge sits. She scans the room and watches the people in the courtroom murmurs about her sudden mindlessness.
"Do you want to rest???" The judge asks with his worried face, leaning his face closer to the young lawyer.
