My Mistress Became My Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 152

After the fire at Calvador Sanatorium, Samantha hadn’t slept properly and spent the entire night wide awake, leaving deep shadows beneath her eyes. Blood had dried under her fingernails, chewed raw each time anxiety gripped her.

“Why, why won’t he come back?”

Could it be that he’d been caught for setting the fire? No—was Frederick even the one who did it? If he’d only wanted Grace Benjamin dead, there’d have been no need to start a fire…
