Delilah Woods didn’t die.

After Isolde Garrison abandoned her and hurriedly ran away, she was rescued in time.

Although she lost the baby, at least her life was spared.

It wasn’t until Delilah was sent to the hospital that her mother learned what her daughter had been enduring at school.

Delilah’s father had passed away early, and her mother single-handedly raised her. There was no way she could accept her daughter being bullied like this.

She angrily went to the school, seeking an explanation, but the school was evasive, even implying that Delilah had sullied the school’s reputation.

As a working-class person, Delilah’s school fees were barely covered by her father’s pension, with the hope she’d attend a good school, only to encounter such events.

The school wouldn’t take action, and she had no power or influence. Desperate, Delilah’s mother listened to the instigation of a social media influencer and posted the incident online, hoping to use the internet to seek justice for her daughter.

Little did they know, this action plunged her and her daughter into another abyss.

Delilah Woods, pregnant out of wedlock, secretly went to an abandoned school building, “intending to commit suicide.” Initially, this garnered sympathy from netizens, but soon the online comments took a different turn—

[Unmarried and pregnant, afraid of family finding out, ran to the school building to commit suicide. Students nowadays don’t study seriously, just learning to mess around.]

[Agreed with the above, young love is risky, creating life requires caution.]

[Who’s the guy? To end up causing a suicide attempt, he must have dumped her, right? Girls these days, making a big deal out of small matters.]

[Girls who don’t love themselves deserve to be abandoned.]

[A romantic fool deserves to pick wild herbs, serves her right for the miscarriage.]

[Heard some schoolgirls take “part-time jobs” outside, wonder if Delilah Woods is one of them too?]

[Lol, nailed it~]

[No way, that’s too disgusting.]

[Don’t know how parents teach their kids, looking to gain sympathy through views. The whole family is disgusting.]

It started with a few people guiding the narrative, but within hours, the comment section was flooded with talk about Delilah Woods getting pregnant through part-time work.

Later, when others saw the comments, they assumed it was the truth and started a new round of insults and offensive remarks.

The online comments spun out of control quickly.

Delilah’s mother tried to explain, but no one listened, not even coworkers and neighbors stopped pointing fingers.

Some even unearthed Delilah’s contact information, directly messaging to ask for prices.

Delilah, who had barely returned from Ghost Gate Pass, opened her eyes to a world full of overwhelming insults and humiliation.

At just seventeen, she couldn’t bear the relentless malice and finally, one night, went mad.

To say she went mad isn’t quite accurate.

She didn’t make any loud noises, and she couldn’t even speak.

Except for cooperating with basic sitting, lying down, and feeding, she no longer responded to anyone, quietly sitting there like a puppet.

Her mother believed she had ruined her daughter, so she directly applied for her withdrawal from school. In order to cure her daughter’s illness, she spent all the family’s savings, but it was always in vain.

Because of caring for her daughter, Delilah’s mother’s work also suffered, forcing her to resign.

Later, when Micah Quigley came knocking, she finally learned that he was the one responsible for her daughter’s condition, and even those comments were paid trolls by the Quigley Family to help Micah shift public opinion.

Knowing what his family did, Micah feigned innocence, showing up afterward to offer “compensation.”

Delilah’s mother hated Micah with a passion, wishing she could kill him on the spot.

But she couldn’t, because if she went to jail, no one would care for Delilah.

Call it weakness or incompetence, Delilah’s mother ultimately chose to move away, completely distancing herself from Micah and the Quigley Family.

Yet each time, the Quigley Family somehow found them. Every time Micah visited, they would threaten them.

Delilah’s mother had no choice but to move again with her daughter.

…

“For the sake of Delilah having some peace, I even publicly declared her dead.”

Delilah’s mother looked at Scarlett Jennings, her eyes devoid of any light,

“The internet has long forgotten about Delilah, and I hope no one knows she’s still alive to disturb her again….

I don’t know how you know Delilah is alive, but if your help involves the internet, I don’t need it, really…”

The hardships of life, the despair and confusion about the future, had drained her of any tears. But just hearing her voice, one could feel her inner pain and regret.

Scarlett Jennings rarely extended her hand, but she reached out and gently grasped Delilah’s mother’s hand.

“Rest assured, the help I mean is to restore her mind.”

Delilah’s mother shook her head, “It’s useless, so many hospitals said she couldn’t be cured, I’ve grown used to it.”

It’s as if her daughter developed Alzheimer’s ahead of time.

She would always be able to take care of her.

Seeing her disbelief, Scarlett Jennings said no more, casually tossing out a Yellow Talisman.

Delilah’s mother only saw the Yellow Talisman move without wind, floating right above her daughter’s head.

What surprised her more was that her daughter, who never reacted to the outside world, now seemed drawn in, slowly raising her head toward the Yellow Talisman.

Delilah’s mother’s pupils trembled, and she looked at Scarlett Jennings in disbelief.

Scarlett Jennings merely said,

“The reason she is senseless is that one of her souls has been trapped on the rooftop of that abandoned school building. I happened to discover that soul and followed the aura to find it here.”

With that, she took out a small paper lantern folded from a Yellow Talisman from her backpack. The lantern was hollow and empty, yet it faintly emitted a small glow.

She said,

“If you trust me, I’ll try to guide that soul back into her body.”

Delilah’s mother looked at the Yellow Talisman floating overhead and then at the paper lantern in Scarlett Jennings’ hand. She no longer had any doubts. Her eyes turned red, and she nodded hard,

“I trust you! I trust you, dear sage, please save Delilah, save my child.”

Having gained her trust, Scarlett Jennings nodded.

She took out a small Vermillion Pen from her backpack, approached the bedside, and quickly drew a Soul Summoning Talisman on Delilah Woods’s forehead with the Vermillion Pen.

The next second, Scarlett Jennings placed the small paper lantern in her hand, chanting,

“The Heavenly Dao is clear, the Earthly Dao is peaceful, the Human Dao is serene, Three Souls Gathering, I obey the Imperial Decree, the soul returns.”

As her last two words were spoken, the initial Yellow Talisman floating above quickly enveloped the paper lantern.

Simultaneously, it seemed that a red line from Delilah’s forehead connected to the lantern enveloped by the Yellow Talisman. Delilah’s mother saw a spot of light inside the lantern slowly moving along the red line toward Delilah’s forehead.

Realizing that this spot of light was her daughter’s lost soul, Delilah’s mother’s breath stilled, fearing that even her breath might scare away her daughter’s soul….

She watched as the light approached the center of the forehead. Just as it was about to merge,

Suddenly, she heard a sharp cry similar to that of an infant in her ear, causing her ear to ache.

The next second, she saw the light, which was almost merging with her daughter’s forehead, being violently pulled back into the paper lantern wrapped in yellow paper!
