Chapter 579

　　Third person's POV 　　Bright red blood splashed before Tabitha's eyes, like a red rose in full bloom. 　　The scene instantly brought back memories of the day Joanna passed away. The parallels were chilling, and for a moment, she felt as if she were reliving that horrific day. 　　She stood there, dazed, her eyes widened. 　　Just this morning, Tucker had been nestled in her arms. But now, he lay lifelessly at her feet, dark blood flowing from his mouth and nose. 　　Tabitha, in a daze, squatted down as if on autopilot. 'This had to be a dream, it had to be.' 　　"Tucker, wake up. You're freaking me out," her voice trembled, pitch altering. She reached out to pick up Tucker, but Derek pulled her into his arms. 　　"Tabitha, don't touch him! Tucker has been poisoned." The blood was not the bright red of a healthy animal but a dark, tar-like black that spoke of a sinister toxin. 　　Tabitha had lost her composure. She lunged toward Tucker, yelling, "Tucker, wake up, open your eyes and look at me!"
