Chapter 864:
Norah's current task was to await updates. At the stime, the program she had developed continued to
operate regularly, attempting to locate Justin and his family within Silverdale.
In Glophia, Joanna tossed and turned throughout the night, unable to find peaceful sleep. Every tshe shut
her eyes, haunting images flooded her mind: Madeline lying in a pool of blood with an infant nearby, also stained
in blood.
The terrifying images left Joanna sweating profusely, deeply unsettled. The dark circles under her eyes the next

Darwin and Raina listened intently as Bryson recounted the events of the previous night. Over breakfast the next
morning, they offered their support to Joanna, assuring her that the incident was not her fault and urging her not
to worry. Despite their reassurances, Joanna felt a coldness spread through her body, her mind racing with the
thought that Madeline's fall might somehow be connected to her actions.
Uncertain and anxious, Joanna spent the entire day in her room, waiting for any updates about Madeline's
condition.
“Miss Andrews, there's an update,” a maid announced, rushing into the room.
“Go ahead,” Joanna replied, her voice betraying her nerves.
Although she had received reassurance from the doctor the day before regarding Madeline's well-being, Joanna
remained uneasy, her heart heavy with fear. She braced herself for the worst, dreading what news might come
next.
“The hospital has reported that Madeline's baby didn’t survive.”

Joanna's tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed as the words hit her, her eyes vacant as she whispered, “This can’t
be real. It can’t be.”
“It’s true. Madeline went back into surgery this morning, and they couldn't save the baby.”

Joanna struggled to hold back the panic rising within her, trying to maintain her composure. “Didn’t the doctor
assure us yesterday that she was stable?”
“Yes, but for sreason, she lost the baby this morning. | heard she was devastated, crying bitterly when she
woke up in the hospital.”
“Okay, | understand. You may go now.”
Once the maid left, Joanna collapsed onto the carpet, her tears flowing uncontrollably. “It was me. | must have
inadvertently pushed Madeline. | didn’t mean to. | really didn’t.”
That morning, Bryson retrieved the corridor’s surveillance footage from Spencer. The view was obstructed by a
crowd, making it difficult to see clearly, but it was evident that Joanna and Nancy were directly behind Madeline,
almost right beside her. It seemed that Joanna’s hand had accidentally touched Madeline's back.
