Chapter 68 

It was already eight in the evening when she arrived in Horington. Margaret had a good sleep at the hotel, and it was three in the morning when she woke up. She took out a magazine about the art exhibition and made a basic itinerary. The art exhibition would also be exhibiting works by her favorite painter. She had made the decision to resign on impulse, as she wanted to start doing things that she was interested in. Life was too short for one to ponder on the same thing for too long. Hence, she thought she should be living as she wished before it was too late. 

The next morning, Margaret went to the art exhibition directly and stayed there for the whole day. She could feel her passion for drawing burning like wildfire again. 

Horington was different from Dellmoor. Horington did not snow and the temperature there was slightly higher. Moreover, the streets were often bustling with people at night. It was almost eleven o‘clock when she finally returned to the hotel after strolling around. 

Back in the hotel room, she instantly felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue. 

Despite that, she still dragged her exhausted body to take a bath out of habit. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door shortly after she lay down. It sounded more like someone bumping instead of knocking on the door. 

Margaret was startled. Still, she gathered herself and tiptoed to the door. She then asked softly, “Who is it?” 

There was no response from the other side of the door. Then, she took out her phone and turned it on, preparing to call the police at any time. However, countless missed calls from Christopher appeared on the screen as soon as the phone was switched on.
