Inside the bungalow, the pungent smell of medicine and decay filled the air. Judith took out a handkerchief, immediately covering her nose and mouth. She rounded a doorway and saw a person lying facedown on the bed, screaming hoarsely.
"Help... help me!"
Hearing someone enter, her shouts stopped. She struggled to lift her head and look over. When she saw Judith, she immediately reached out to her.
"Save me, Mom, save me!"
Judith, however, took a step back in horror.
The person before her could no longer be called human.
Sunny Reed was still in her hospital gown, though it was now covered in filth and blood. Her hair was a tangled mess, and one of her eyes was a mangled, bloody ruin, with tears of blood constantly streaming down. She was nothing but skin and bones, a ghastly creature that was neither human nor ghost.
Daniel Hayes said, "She tried to poison Chloe and Walker, so I used the same poison on her. I didn’t think it would only destroy one of her eyes. Tsk. Looks like the dosage still isn’t right."
"Mom, please save me. I’m in so much pain. Mom, I’m begging you, please save me! I don’t want to stay here anymore. I’ll go abroad. I’ll leave this place and never come back. Please, I’m begging you, just let me go..."
Sunny’s voice was raspy as she pleaded incessantly. Her legs were useless now, too. Walker had said he wanted her to experience the same pain as Noah.
Now that Noah could no longer stand, she, his mother, naturally didn’t need to stand either.
Judith’s initial horror quickly subsided. She looked at Sunny and suddenly thought, ’This torture is nowhere near enough!’
"Tell me, why did you poison Noah?" Judith asked coldly.
Sunny kept shaking her head. "I didn’t! I didn’t poison Noah! Noah is my son, how could I possibly poison him? Someone is trying to frame me."
