The Child Remains

Here's a rephrased version of the section:

As the year 1973 unfolded, Faith found herself confined to a hospital bed within the Mercy Home for Unwed Mothers. Despite the confines, her body betrayed her and went into labor. Rose Leeds, a midwife with a heavy heart, took matters into her own hands. With Talbot, Rose's brother, by her side, she whisked away the newborn child, leaving Faith none the wiser about its fate. But Fate had other plans; as Faith drifted in and out of consciousness, she caught the faint cries of her child, a sound that would haunt her for eternity. Her pleas to Rose fell on deaf ears, and in a cruel twist, Rose injected Faith with a deadly dose of poison. With her final breath, Faith cursed Rose, her anger and pain seeping into the very walls of the institution.

Fast-forward to 2015 - Friday - as Musician Liam Darrow (actor name) brings his expectant wife Rae Delatour, a crime reporter still grappling with the demons of PTSD, to the former maternity home turned Mersey Inn for a birthday celebration. Monica Leeds, Rose's daughter and the inn's proprietor, warmly welcomes the couple, who are the only guests in this once-private sanctuary. As Rae's visions of Faith begin to manifest, she senses an unseen presence lurking within the walls, which Liam attributes to her troubled past.

Rae takes a solitary stroll through nature, but her tranquility is shattered by Talbot's warning to steer clear of a barbed wire area. It's there that she encounters Faith's ghostly apparition, a harbinger of things to come. Back at the inn, Liam sets up his recording equipment in a room where he detects whispers of a child's voice on an antique device known as a ghost box. Monica reveals this tool is said to facilitate communication with the other side. As Liam recognizes his own connection to the inn, Monica shares a torn page from the guest ledger, exposing his previous visit with mistress Amy. Monica agrees to keep this secret from Rae.

As the evening unfolds, Rae confides in Liam and Monica about her unsettling encounter with Faith. Monica paints a vivid picture of the inn's past as a private sanctuary for unwed mothers, where anonymity was key and only photographs of the children remain. When the couple retires to their room, they find an old journal with blank pages left on their doorstep, a mysterious gift that echoes Rae's growing unease. As night falls, Rae's PTSD-induced nightmares become increasingly intertwined with Faith's tragic fate and the ominous bloody door.

Saturday dawns, and Rae shares her concerns about her connection to the house with Liam. He remains skeptical, unaware of the dark secrets lurking beneath the inn's surface.

As Talbot's shovel pierces the earth, he unearths a child's coffin, its presence a grim reminder of the secrets buried beneath the inn's rustic facade. Monica's instructions for reburial only prompt a sense of unease from Talbot, who senses that this small grave will not be the last to yield its dark secrets.

Meanwhile, Rae and Liam venture into town, seeking answers in the dusty recesses of the local library. Amidst the musty pages of an old book, Rae uncovers a newspaper article that exposes a sinister history of abuse and child murders at the now-defunct maternity home. The librarian's evasive responses only fuel her determination to uncover the truth.

Liam, however, is more concerned with his own creative endeavors, as he stumbles upon a haunting piano melody seemingly recorded by an unseen force using the inn's music equipment. When Monica inquires about the mysterious tune, Liam claims it as his own artistic expression.

As Rae delves deeper into the inn's troubled past, she enlists Liam's help, but her partner is more focused on toning down her journalistic instincts. Unbeknownst to him, Rae has already begun to unravel the mysteries of Mersey, scouring the internet for clues and piecing together the dark events that transpired within these walls.

The librarian's phone call sets Monica on a path of discovery, as she begins to dig into Rae's troubled past, her struggles with PTSD. The inn's patriarchess is not alone in her curiosity, however, as Liam starts experiencing strange occurrences – a marionette perched at his keyboard, ghostly whispers echoing through the halls, and cryptic messages scrawled in blood on mirrors.

As Rae's visions intensify, she becomes increasingly convinced that uncovering the truth behind the maternity home's atrocities is crucial. Her persistence only earns her a stern warning from Talbot, who reminds her of the dangers lurking beneath the inn's surface. Monica, meanwhile, is left to ponder the true nature of their troubled relationship and Liam's creative blockages, as he becomes increasingly unhinged, driven by an unseen force.

In the midst of this chaos, Rae discovers that the seemingly blank journal was, in fact, written in lemon juice, its words hidden until the light of a candle revealed the truth. The writings of Faith (Rachel Elizabeth Morgan) expose the horrors perpetrated by Rose Leeds – the ruthless slaughter of minority babies and the countless atrocities committed within these walls.

As Liam's creative fervor reaches a fever pitch, he explodes with accusations regarding their troubled relationship and his own professional failures. Though he later regains some composure, Rae remains resolute, insisting that they must uncover the truth before departing the inn.

As the sun casts its lazy rays on the sleepy town, Rae sets out alone to confront the dark underbelly of the inn's troubled past. A solitary figure, she seeks out the enigmatic Police Sergeant Grist, whose off-the-record whispers hint at a long-forgotten tragedy - the brutal murder of an innocent baby against a door, though the authorities were never able to uncover any tangible evidence. The weight of this somber history settles upon Rae like a shroud as she implores Grist to reopen the case, but he remains resolute, requiring a living witness to stir the cold, uncaring heart of justice.

Undeterred, Rae seeks out Talbot, whose secrets have been festering for far too long. The old man's eyes betray his guilt as he confesses to being Rose's brother, and that he played a complicit role in her nefarious schemes - sometimes resorting to burying children alive beneath the earth. As Rae listens with growing horror, Talbot reveals that he recognized her from the birthmarks on her wrist, claiming that she is, in fact, Faith's long-lost child, whom he unearthed from the dirt and rechristened Rae after her mother's true name. He warns her that the house has a morbid power to draw people back into its clutches, and that the journal left in her room was a deliberate attempt to guide her toward the truth.

As Rae departs Talbot's presence, Monica strikes with calculated precision, plunging a knife deep into his unsuspecting form. Dressed in the guise of Rose, she exacts a terrible vengeance upon the old man who had kept her dark secrets for so long. Meanwhile, Rae rushes back to the inn, desperate to unravel the tangled threads of her own identity by consulting her adoptive mother Eleanor.

Eleanor's words are like a cold breeze on a winter's night - they cut to the quick and leave Rae reeling. She learns that she was adopted before the advent of the internet, leaving her with more questions than answers. The signal to her laptop flickers and dies, plunging her into a darkness from which there is no easy escape.

As the day wears on, Monica's malevolent machinations come to fruition. She continues to poison Liam with tea during their breakfast together, before switching to wine as he becomes increasingly entranced. Seizing the moment, she spins a macabre tale of Rose Leeds' illicit tryst with a mysterious visitor who vanished into thin air, leaving behind a boy named Simon Joseph - an abomination born of inhuman features and demonic bloodline. The mother's ultimate solution was to bash the infant against a door, eradicating the perceived evil from this earth.

In the dimly lit basement of the house, Rae stumbles upon a gruesome tableau of crude medical equipment, its purpose all too clear. A dark-skinned demon child emerges from the shadows, chasing her into a room where she discovers an unsettling array of baby skeletons and jars containing blood that seems to pulse with a malevolent life.

Monica's true face is finally revealed as Rae confronts her. The older woman confesses that she is, in fact, Rose, but that her thirst for eternal youth has driven her to inject the blood of newborns to sustain her own unnatural existence. Her eyes gleam with an unholy light as she reveals that she is running out of this precious elixir and needs Rae's unborn child to satiate her dark desires.

As Liam's grip on reality falters, he succumbs to his darker impulses and uses chloroform to subdue Rae, his helpless captive. When he finally breaks through his haze of madness, he demands to know what fate has in store for her. Rose, ever the manipulative force behind Liam's actions, merely taunts him with cruel words, revealing that she had always intended to use their child as a pawn in her twisted game. With a callous indifference, she injects Rae with a potent serum, rendering her unconscious.

As Rae stirs from her drug-induced haze, she finds herself face-to-face with the dying form of Talbot, his life slipping away as he begs her to flee into the surrounding woods. But Rose is hot on her heels, tracking Rae to the desolate graveyard where their twisted tale began. Meanwhile, Liam awakens to a newfound sense of clarity, only to have his moment of redemption cruelly snuffed out by the calculating hand of Rose, who strikes him down with ruthless precision.

As Talbot lies dying, he manages to convey one final message to Rae: escape into the woods and leave her torment behind. But Rose is relentless, pursuing Rae with a malevolent determination that refuses to be deterred. It is only when Talbot intervenes, striking Rose senseless with a shovel, that Rae is finally free to flee.

In the aftermath of the chaos, Sgt. Grist arrives at the inn where Rae has taken refuge, bearing news that her child will recover and she herself will soon be airlifted to the city for further treatment. But as Rae basks in the warmth of her newfound freedom, a sense of unease settles over her, like a creeping shadow that refuses to be vanquished.

It is then that memories of the demonic infant begin to resurface, like a dark tide rising from the depths. With growing trepidation, Rae pulls back the covers to reveal a coffin at her feet, its lid slowly creaking open as if beckoning her closer. And then, in a horror beyond her wildest imagination, the demon baby emerges from the box, its malevolent presence casting a dark and foreboding shadow over all that remains of Rae's shattered world.
