As soon as she said so, it was as if lightning had struck the Sanders, leaving the air heavy with tension.

All eyes turned to Esmee, and my mother's voice trembled as she asked, "What did you say? Who's dead?"

Esmee was unnaturally focused as she walked straight to the family photo, pointed at my face, and declared. "She's dead! There's blood everywhere in the heavy snow!"

Grabbing Esmee by the collar of her down jacket, my mother demanded, "Where did you see this? How did she die?"

The roughness of her approach must have triggered memories of Esmee's torment on the ship and at the Scam Center. She cringed, clutching her head and crying out in panic, "Don't hit me! I'm sorry! I won't run away again!" Her parents rushed to her side, pulling her into their arms.

"Mrs. Sander, I'm so sorry. My daughter is just rambling nonsense, Esmee's mother apologized, clearly distressed.

But my mother was relentless, shaking Esmee and shouting, "Explain it! What happened to her? Tell me!"

Esmee only became more frightened, shrinking away with tears streaming down her face. "I won't run away again, I swear!"

I couldn't hide my anxiety. Esmee had said the key phrase-heavy snow, She must have witnessed something that night!

But her fragile mental state, combined with my mother's aggression, left her too distraught to continue. She just cowered, crying uncontrollably.

"Mom, calm down, Anna interjected, pulling her away. The girl's been traumatized. She's in shock from what happened at Chedor

Esmee's mother looked pale and flustered. What had started as a visit to express gratitude to the Sanders had turned into chaos.

She tried to smooth things over, saying, "I'm so sorry. My daughter has been unwell. She didn't mean to curse Ms. Sander. Please don't take her words seriously

She quickly ushered Esmee outside, but as they walked into the snow, Esmee kept muttering, "Blood much blood... she's dead!"

Arnold shut the door behind them, trying to block out the unsettling scene.

My mother grabbed my father's sleeve and whispered. Could it be that Chloe...
