The moment she realized what it was, Emma White’s face went deathly pale. Facing the camera, her face had already lost its previous elegance and beauty, becoming terrified and distorted.
Her sudden reaction also made the audience in the livestream feel a chill up their spines.
Here it was again,
here it was again.
Her expression now was exactly like Dashiell Xalvadora’s yesterday before the livestream screen disappeared, when he was strangled by five girls.
The program team, along with Josiah and Isolde Garrison, were obviously startled by this sudden change.
Especially Josiah, who had truly experienced the feeling of having that hand covering his mouth beforehand. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Almost instinctively, he thought of a solution.
"The Jade Token! Isolde, quickly give the Jade Pendant to Mom!"
Back in the room, wasn’t it the Jade Token on Timothy Garrison that scared the female ghost away?
Emma White heard "Jade Token," and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she looked anxiously and expectantly at Isolde, who wasn’t far away. Emma instinctively reached out to her daughter.
Unexpectedly, Isolde’s first reaction upon seeing her mother’s outstretched hand wasn’t to take out the Jade Token to save her, but to instinctively push her wheelchair back to dodge.
Emma was stunned, the suffocating feeling in her neck and the dull pain in her chest almost blending into one.
She looked at her cherished daughter in disbelief.
Isolde seemed to realize that her sudden reaction was overly cold, especially right in front of the camera.
She gritted her teeth as if finally reacting, and suddenly reached a hand towards the Jade Token on her neck.
However, before she could remove the Jade Token, Sebastian Carew had already thrown his Life-saving Bag at Emma.
He couldn’t see what was beside Emma, but since Evander Simpson mentioned yesterday that the Talisman in the Brocade Bag was a rare Spirit Talisman, he thought it might help the other party.
Even though this Mrs. Garrison seemed a bit sharp and harsh, his upbringing didn’t allow him to ignore someone being harmed right in front of him.
And just as the Brocade Bag landed on Emma, she, who was previously unable to breathe with her neck clenched, seemed to break free from the restraint. Her body immediately went limp, collapsing to the ground, gasping for air as if narrowly escaping death.
Realizing what had saved her, Emma hastily picked up the Brocade Bag from the ground, holding it to her chest with a look of alarm, glancing around with nervous unease.
"Mom!" Josiah was the first to run over and help her up, even though he was angry about her previous favoritism, she was still his own mother.
Isolde was a step slower but still approached anxiously and nervously in her wheelchair.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Her voice choked, tears welling up in her eyes as she held Emma’s hand.
Emma instinctively avoided her reaching hand.
Having narrowly escaped death, when she saw Isolde’s worried expression, she subconsciously remembered her daughter’s action of dodging backward.
Even though she kept telling herself that Isolde was just scared, she couldn’t help but feel a tiny thorn in her heart.
"I’m... I’m fine," Emma said hoarsely, but she didn’t say anything more.
In the past, she might have turned around and comforted Isolde, afraid that her situation had scared her daughter earlier.
But now, she really didn’t have the energy to comfort.
Isolde acutely noticed the subtle change in Emma’s attitude, her hand gripping the wheelchair handle tightened again, grinding her teeth with some regret.
The program group hadn’t expected that recording a supplemental help-seeking case would encounter the real deal. While they were scared, they were more concerned that the program would be banned again for promoting feudal superstition.
Fortunately, everything was normal in the livestream room, and there wasn’t any warning messages or alerts received.
