Chapter 437
Sarah was stunned. The last tshe had seen Tina, it was in her counseling office. After a simple therapy
session, her condition had seemed to improve. But now, just three days later, she had becnothing more
than a photograph in someone's arms.
She hadn't even finished the plans they had mapped out together. Something had gone terribly wrong.
A reporter held a microphone close to Sarah's face. "Miss Sanders, please read the contents of the suicide note."
Sarah glanced at the reporter before lowering her gaze to the letter.
"Life is so exhausting. If I had a choice, | wouldn't want to be alive. Miss Sanders, | followed your advice
yesterday and started choosing things to do, just like you suggested. But the more | did, the worse | felt. Every
t| completed something, the emotions only becstronger... | can't do this anymore.
Just like you said-once | finish everything, | can leave. But for someone like me, who never needed to do any of it
in the first place, none of it matters.
| want relief. | don't know if Schrédinger's cat is alive or dead, but the only thing | want is freedom from this.
Miss Sanders, thank you for your reminder, but | don't want to live anymore. Goodbye."
Sarah read every word aloud, her voice steady.
But as she went through the letter, she noticed something-the contradiction between the beginning and the end.
Something had changed.
What had happened between writing that list and making this irreversible decision?
Before she could process it further, Mrs. Mendes's voice trembled with rage.
"If it weren't for you telling my daughter to imagine three more days of life, would she ever have written this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtridiculous list?"
She yanked a folded piece of paper from her bag and held it up to the cameras. It was Tina's list.
"Look at this!" she cried out to the reporters. "This is what that woman made my poor daughter write. She told
her to list out everything she wanted to do in seventy-two hours! Isn't it obvious? She was guiding my daughter
to finish all her unfinished business so she could die in peace! And now-now my daughter is really dead!"
The camera flashes intensified, focusing on the list in Mrs. Mendes's shaking hands. Every single item written in
the grid was now exposed to the public.
Mrs. Mendes choked on her sobs, her voice thick with grief. "It's all because of her! If she hadn't made my
daughter fill out that damn list—"
Her body trembled as she pointed a shaking finger at Sarah. "She was only twenty years old! She was supposed
to be in the prof her life, but because of that woman, she climbed twenty stories to the rooftop, stood there
without hesitation, and jumped!"
Tears streamed down her face, her voice breaking. "I was right there, standing below. | heard a loud sound-and
then | saw my daughter fall."
Her entire body seemed to crumble as she sobbed uncontrollably. "There was so much blood... | screamed over
and over again... but she never answered. She was gone. And the woman responsible? She sat safely in her
office, waiting for her next victim. Where is the justice in that?!"
With a desperate cry, she dropped to her knees at the campus gates, wailing.
"Please... | beg you, all of you in the media, please help me!" she pleaded, looking up at the flashing cameras. "I
heard she's the eldest daughter of the Sanders family-I know | have no power to fight against her. | have nothing
left!"
She slammed her palms against the cold pavement. "I only want justice for my daughter!"
The crowd buzzed with murmurs, the weight of the accusation heavy in the air. Meanwhile, Sarah's gaze
remained fixed on Tina's suicide note.
There was something off about it.
One line stood out to her: "Mom, I'm sorry. | can't protect my little brother anymore..."
And then another:
"I know what I have to do. It wasn't my fault that | got sick. Miss Sanders said
there was still a chance for me... but

Sarah's expression darkened.
Tina never mentioned having a brother.
During their counseling session, she had never once brought up a sibling.
As Sarah processed the implications, Mrs. Mendes continued, her voice raw with
