Chapter 23

However, Alison kept her eyes shut tight, She seemed caught in a nightmare’s grip, murmuring unintelligibly.

Jason gently clasped Alison’s hand, comforting her softly, “It’s okay, Grandma. I’m right here. You don’t need to be afraid.”

Alison seemed to sense something. She suddenly grabbed Jason’s wrist and raised her voice, crying, “Sophia… Don’t… Me… Die… Words popped out from her mouth, and the sentence seemed to be “Sophia, Don’t. Me. Die.”
