Query on landing the focus

Hello everyone, Greetings!

I have a web page with static text alone and only one heading (h1) at the
top. While reading the page using screen reader, an alert dialog pops up
shifting the focus there to confirm it. Once confirming it where I should
expect the focus?
If the focus resets to top of the page, that may annoy users as they must
navigate all the way again.
To set the focus back to same area it is not the interactive item instead
the dialog emerges while reading a paragraph. Is there any mechanism to set
the focus back to same line from where user stops reading?

Thanks for your insights in advance.

Thanks,
Venkatesh
