Chapter 16 Meredith felt as if she had arrived in a different world.

She thought that she was in heaven. But no matter how hard she tried to find a ray of light, only darkness surrounded her. And within the darkness, she tried to search for her child.

It was as if her child had disappeared into thin air. Her child was nowhere to be found no matter how hard she searched.

Just when she was about to give up hope, Meredith heard a weak voice calling out to her.

“Mommy, save me...“, Meredith rushed towards where the voice came from and reached out her hands to grab her child‘s hand. But she was one step too late. Meredith watched her child get swallowed into the darkness while she did nothing.
