Chapter 864

At that moment, the fog in Cresthaven was growing thicker, shrouding the town in a heavy, gray gloom.

Marguerite's heart was pounding with urgency-she couldn't wait another second to find Frederick and finally reveal the truth.

But it was rush hour, and visibility on the road was nearly zero thanks to the dense mist.

She didn't dare speed up. After everything she'd been through, she valued her life far more than any fleeting moment of impatience.

After all, only the living have hope for the future-she couldn't let anything happen to her now.

She had to stand before Frederick, safe and whole, look him in the eye, and tell him, *I am your wife.*

She needed to know what really happened that night, six months ago.

The more she thought about it, the more desperate she became.

As soon as the light turned green, she started the car again.
