There was a wet blanket over his body, and it looked like he was not injured.
Adina sighed in relief. She immediately dialed Duke‘s number, but
nobody picked it up after the phone rang for a while.
When she turned around, she saw Mrs. Winters walking over after sending off
the guests. “Mr. Brown came to take the children home earlier. Let‘s go home now.”
Adina held her phone and asked, “Mom, is Duke back yet?”
“He went to the police station to make a statement.” Mrs. Winters seemed
to avoid her gaze slightly. “It appears that someone set fire to the Winters Cemetery. Not only the ceme
tery was destroyed, but the entire row of nearby shops and houses was also burned down. It‘s
a big deal, so Duke has to help the police with the investigation.”

Once the wedding banquet ended, the hall became very quiet. The Winters family‘s mansion was desol
ate upon their return as well.
The courtyard was full of balloons and string lights, yet Adina felt lonely.
Had she suddenly become a resentful wife just because her husband did not toast with her at
the wedding?
Adina chuckled in resignation.
She went to the
children‘s room and took a look. Their faces were red from the red wine. She wondered how much wine
they had actually consumed.
Her children were born prematurely, so they were not the strongest. They should not indulge in such
a beverage.
However, her mother–in–law encouraged it. Adina could not say anything about it as a result.
She returned to her room and slowly removed her makeup. Then, she took a shower. It was already 9.0
0 pm by the time she was done.
Even so, she had yet to receive a reply from Duke after she sent him a text message.
Adina was truly exhausted today, and she had also drunk at least two glasses of
wine. She lay on the bed to wait for Duke to get back, but she ended up falling asleep.
She dreamed that she was in the middle of a white foggy valley, while the
white fog around her blocked her way. Her hands and feet were weak, and she
could not exert any strength at all.
She wanted to walk out of the fog, but when she stood up, she simply fell.
A fire suddenly illuminated the fog.
The fire dispersed it, and she could finally see what lay ahead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was a church at the edge of the cliff and a figure twisted in pain amidst the fire.
“Addy, help me! Help!”
She recognized the voice. It was Duke!
Adina could not be bothered with anything else. She scrambled up the side of the cliff on both feet
and worked her way up, but no matter how hard
she tried, she was always a few dozen meters from the cliff.
Crash!
The church abruptly collapsed, and the familiar figure disappeared in the fire.
“Duke!”
Adina screamed in shock and woke up from her nightmare.
Right then, she realized that she was sweating profusely and her back was soaking wet.
She breathed heavily before she checked the time with the light from her phone. It was already
3.00 am.
But Duke was still not back.
Her heart tightened, and a sense of infinite suffocation flooded over her.
Just as she was about to give Duke another call, she noticed that a man was standing on the balcony.
