That's right. When I overheard Chase talking to my dream self, I realized that locking Annabelle Linton in the basement was meant to be an indirect way of protecting her.
We arrived in the basement.
Vivian Yates was saying something—words to the effect that her child had been innocent, and that her conscience wouldn't be able to bear it if they let Annabelle Linton out. She said that now that her child was gone, she didn't want to live anymore, and if he blamed her, he could just kill her too.
My face suddenly turned pale at the sight of the basement.
Because I'd once had a dream that, in this very place, I had thrown Annabelle Linton against a wall because of Vivian Yates, and she'd died from the impact.
She had been carrying our child...
I rushed forward to intervene, but no one could hear my voice.
My dream self shoved Annabelle Linton into a corner, cursing her for being so vicious, for killing Vivian Yates's child and still refusing to leave Vivian in peace.
