How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 824

Wind whipped at Elodie's face, blurring the world around her.

Yet through the chaos, she saw a figure leap from the plane-a silhouette dressed

in jet black, so vivid it seared into her vision. That face had haunted her dreams

for days now. Even though she tried to dismiss what Watts had said, a part of her soul recoiled in fear, waking her over and over from nightmares where she watched him vanish before her eyes.

He could feel Elodie's heart pounding as if it might burst.

She clung to him desperately, holding him tight as if to make sure he was real.
