Chapter 1159

Zoey gasped and stumbled. Susan blinked and dropped to her knees. Emma looked around in disoriented confusion, the eerie calm draining from her eyes.

It was like waking from a trance.

"What… what just happened?" Zoey whispered.

Natalie clutched her arms, shivering. "I feel cold."

Scarlet fell to the ground, weeping quietly.

They were returning to themselves.

But Rose remained still.

She didn't fall. She didn't tremble. She just stood there, staring at the sealed ground where the entity had risen, rain pouring over her motionless body.

Sophie pulled Jude away. "We need to go. Before it starts again."

Rose whispered, "She's not finished."

And as the others stumbled through the rain, leaning on one another, confused and shaken, only Jude looked back.

Rose stood alone, eyes fixed on the sky, her lips barely moving.

She was still smiling.
