Crossroads

Chapter 234

“What happened?‘

This feeling was so strange. Stephanie felt as if she had left her body, like a weightless soul floating in the air, unable to touch the ground. Her thoughts swirled in a panicked vortes.

All she could see was an endless expanse of white, a blank canvas mirroring the emptiness in her mind.

Suddenly, a memory flashed through, causing a splitting headache

There were many chaotic and sharp sounds coming through the thunder of heavy rain, the noisy and panicked voices of the crowd, the sounds of police cars and ambulance…

“She has a rare blood type. The blood bank is running dry…

“Her heart rate’s plummeting… Almost flatlining. Get the defibrillator, now!”

She frowned thinking hard and feeling troubled.

The scene changed abruptly. A large funeral hall appeared, filled with people dressed in black. White wreaths lined the sides, creating a solemn and respectful atmosphere.

She heard the sound of someone crying and others sighing. The dames on the candles flickered ominously.
