Chapter 874:

Joanna obeyed, lifting her gaze to see a small, indistinct figure across the bridge. It was too blurry to make out,

but she was sure the cries were coming from it. Anxiously, she looked around. Where had Alice and the others

gone? Why was she left alone?

“Alice! Alice!” Joanna's voice broke through the silence, her fear sharpening her cries.

From the corner of her eye, Joanna noticed the figure drawing nearer. Terror gripped her, and she bolted. “Please,

don’t cany closer! | didn’t mean to do it! | didn’t push Madeline! | didn’t even see how she fell!” she pleaded

silently, her heart pounding as she ran.

Despite her efforts, the figure relentlessly closed in. With a sense of impending doom, she shut her eyes tightly,

convinced it had cfor vengeance—perhaps even her life.

Then, the crying ceased. Hesitantly, Joanna opened her eyes and saw an adorable infant sitting beside her, its

large black eyes gleaming as it offered her a silent smile. The fear melted away instantly. Tentatively, she

reached out to touch the child, but in a flash, it was gone.

Joanna's eyes snapped open to the reality of her surroundings, with familiar faces all around.

Alice rested a comforting hand on her head. “Joanna, don’t be afraid. The baby doesn’t blyou. This was its

destiny, and it’s not your fault.”

“Was it you?” Joanna asked, still trying to make sense of everything.

“Yes,” Alice revealed. “I've mastered hypnosis. It started right after you exited the car. Joanna, death isn’t truly

terrible. | understand your guilt about the baby, but you need to realize that it's not your fault. You have to stop

blaming yourself.”

When Joanna heard Alice's tender voice, she threw herself into her arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

“Alice, thank you so much.”

The comfort she felt was more powerful than mere words. For a moment, Joanna wondered if it was all just an

illusion.

Everyone had faith in her. She felt she needed to be confident in herself and stop blaming herself for things she

hadn't done.

“I'm glad that you could think it through, Joanna.” Alice patted her back gently.

Fortunately, Alice had ctoday and discovered the depth of Joanna's condition. If she had continued on this

path, her body would have collapsed sooner or later.

“You have family and friends who care for you. You should talk to them. Don’t isolate yourself. Try to step outside

that door.”

Joanna's guilt seemed to trap her, preventing her from living her life.
