Chapter 42 There's News About Mrs Bolton

The next morning, after the rain had cleared, Luke received a phone call and rushed out in a hurry.

According to legend, Undine had no soul. The only way she could obtain one was through marriage to a human. However, if her husband were unfaithful, she would kill him.

This statue depicted the goddess in her white gown, emerging from the water, hands raised as if to claim. her husband's life.

In that moment, she was both the epitome of beauty and of vengeful wrath,

Unlike other sculptures, the skin exposed in this piece had a faint, lifelike flesh tone, making it all the more

"Mr. Bolton, do you approve of the work?" the artist asked.

Lake gazed at the face of the goddess, murmuring, "Her face....
