Sharon Lindt couldn't believe what she heard.

At that moment, her mind was buzzing so much she couldn't think straight.

How could the person she spoke to on the phone earlier be dead?

Perhaps it was because of her call?

Apart from shock and sadness, Sharon also felt guilty.

She now regretted telling Jeremy Quest about what happened.

If she hadn't told him, would he have been alive?

What would she tell Xyla Quest when she woke up?

Jeremy had died because of her.

Sharon hated herself, and that thought prompted her to slap herself twice forcefully.

Why did she have to call him?

Earlier, her only thought was that Jeremy deserved to know what happened to his grandchildren.

Besides, he would've found out anyway when he came to visit them.

Now that Sharon thought about it, perhaps she had acted too rashly.

Would he have been fine if she had kept it a secret from him?

What should she do? What could she do?

Suddenly, Sharon felt lost and panicked.

Her grandchildren had been kidnapped during their weakest state.

Her daughter-in-law was heartbroken and still suffering from her post-delivery surgical wound.

On top of that, Sharon indirectly caused Xyla's father to die after breaking the news to him.
