Chapter 74

Eliza woke up from the nightmare, her cold sweat soaking the pillow. She looked up and saw that it was already the next morning. The sun outside the window was very bright. She wiped her sweat, let out a sigh of relief, and lay back on the bed. She didn’t know why she had such a dream. It was clear that something similar had never happened to her before. Everything in her dream was real, as if she had really experienced it. Moreover, the fire was so big. If it was real, she must have been burned to death.

Taking a deep breath, she told herself that yesterday’s movie must have made her brain chaotic, so she had such an inexplicable dream. Eliza closed her eyes. Before she became sober, her phone rang.

I don’t dislike you.” “Don’t… don’t go.” “If you are short of money, I can give it to you.” “Don’t go…”

She had also returned to the alley where she had been attacked and inquired about the police who had investigated the case that day but still could not find it. “I’m sorry, dad.” Eliza did not say anything about her being attacked. “I was careless.” Luca on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time. “Perhaps

The reward post she posted earlier for finding the jade pendant had received replies from several people, and even private detectives left their contact information to ask her to find them.
