Fanny was also awakened early by a nightmare.

She found herself drenched in sweat upon waking.

The first thing she did was check the time. Then, she hesitated whether to call Christopher first or find Jonathan to confirm their return to Riverdon.

After all, today marked the deadline Christopher had given her.

However, the day had just begun, and Joseph had returned the previous night. They were waiting only for Jonathan’s return to discuss their plans to return to Riverdon.

Thinking of Kaydron’s confident assurances last night, she hesitated for a moment but still answered the call.
