#Chapter 238 A midnight stroll

Doris woke in the middle of the night to find William sound asleep beside her. It was a nice and safe sight, she hated waking up to find him already gone or awake. He was always such an early riser.

Sweat drenched her skin, her dreams rattled her wide awake to the point that she could barely catch her breath. It all happened in quick flashes that she could barely grasp onto.

There was… fire. A lot of fire and fighting but none of it was clear to Doris. What was on fire? Was she trapped in it—or did she start it? It didn’t make sense to her, she wanted to dissect everything about it but it was already fading fast from her mind.

All she knew was that it would be hard to fall back asleep with the whisper of death on her skin.

The clocks told her that it wasn’t far past midnight. She slowly got out of bed and put on a silk robe to cool her skin.
