She had never seen Joan in that much pain. In the past, even if she had argued with Larry, they would at most give each other the cold shoulder. But right then, it was clear that Joan had disregarded her own life.
“Faye won't be able to rest in peace if she sees you like this,” Jessica said.
“Faye!”
Joan then began to cry again, her tears seemingly never-ending.
Looking at the state that she was in, Jessica and Nancy stopped trying to persuade her.
After a while, Jessica turned to Nancy and asked, “What now?”
“I have no idea.”
They both could tell that Joan had long fully regarded herself as Faye's murderer. Therefore, no matter what others said, it would be of no help.
“Why don't we use some extreme measures, then,” Nancy said with a serious face, turning around to look at Jessica.
She was stunned for a moment but eventually collected herself. Then, she looked expectantly at Nancy, waiting for her to explain her idea.
“Let's just kidnap her home!”
Is this... really okay? Jessica looked doubtfully at Joan, who was still kneeling on the ground. She was hesitant.
Why doesn't she listen to anyone at all! Jessica
sighed.
Eventually, after thinking for a long time, the two women finally reached a consensus. They then began to put their plan into action.
“What are you doing? Let me go! I won't leave! I want to keep Faye company here!” Joan yelled, struggling against their hold.
“Keep her company? She's not here anymore, okay!” replied Nancy, using all her strength to support Joan's thighs as they carried her out of the ward.
“Let me go! Don't make me hurt you!”
As Jessica and Nancy had already prepared themselves for whatever unexpected situation, naturally, they did not bother about her threats.
“Ah!” Nancy suddenly shouted with a look of
pain on her face.
