Chapter 778
The noise around her made her feel dizzy and confused. A red, bloody mist surrounded her as she watched in
terror while someone walked toward her carrying a bowl.
"Drink this."
Sarah stood frozen. Why was she having these hallucinations?
"I won't drink it!"
But the man kept pushing the bowl toward her face, trying to force it down her throat.
Sarah knocked the bowl out of his hands. Bright red liquid splashed everywhere, filling her world with crimson.
The bowl had been full of blood-dark, fresh blood. She squeezed her eyes shut in horror.
"Sasa! Sarah, what's wrong?" Zachary gripped her shoulders and shook her gently.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Zachary's worried face.
The red mist, the man, the bowl of blood-it was all gone.
What had just happened? Was it a hallucination?
She rubbed her eyes and saw someone dressed as Edward Scissorhands walk by, carrying fake bloody props. Her
face went pale-that's where the smell had been coming from.

Zachary followed her gaze to the props and moved to block her view.
"Don't look."
Sarah's face was still pale. Just seeing those red props made her feel strange.
Just then, a scream cfrom the ice cream shop behind them.
They both spun around and looked at each other. "That's Mia!"
Sarah and Zachary rushed over to find Mia standing at the ice cream shop entrance, staring at the crowd in
terror while people gathered around her, pointing and whispering.
Sarah quickly went over and took Mia's hand. "Mia, what happened?"
Seeing Sarah seemed to calm Mia down. The ice cream in her hand had melted and was dripping everywhere.
Zachary took the ruined ice cream and threw it in the trash-it was beyond saving. He pulled out a handkerchief
to wipe her hands and led Mia away from the crowd. "Mia, what happened?"
Mia was shaking all over. She pointed with a trembling finger. "Over there... there are bad people."
Following her direction, Sarah saw several figures in black clothes standing around a corner with a woman tied
up between them.
With just one look, Sarah and Zachary could tell they weren't
people they were mannequins et

But fragile Mia couldn't tell the difference between real people and fake ones. She cowered behind Sarah in
terror.
"Mia, those are all fake. Don't look-let's go home." She took Mia's hand and led
her out of Westfield Mall toward the parking garage.
Zachary had already brought the car around, and all three got back in.
Once they were away from the mall, Mia finally calmed down.
As she gradually cback to herself, she looked at Zachary driving and Sarah's worried face, then said guiltily

"Don't talk nonsense, Mia. This isn't your fault," Sarah said, gently stroking her hair for comfort.
Mia leaned against Sarah and asked a question that had been bothering her for a
while. "Sarah, can my condition really be cured?"
It was something she'd been
thinking about for ages. After so many treatments she still kepto having episodes. Even she was losing hope. s
Sarah looked at her seriously. "Mia, do you trust me?"
"Of course! | trust you completely, Sister Sarah."
