Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 462

Felicia failed to fall asleep even after tossing and turning in bed for half an hour. She finally got up, put on her clothes, and went to the rooftop terrace to enjoy the night breeze.

During the designing phase of this villa, the rooftop terrace was the feature she loved the most. She had invested a lot of effort into its layout and decoration. After moving in, it indeed became her favorite spot.

Summer was approaching. The temperature was just right, and the evening breeze was gentle.

Felicia lounged comfortably on a recliner, gazing at the crescent moon hanging like a silver hook in the night sky. Her heart was calm, yet she was strangely aware of an unprecedented sense of loneliness.

When the feeling first surfaced, it was merely a faint emptiness in her heart. But as time went on, it grew increasingly vivid, spreading throughout her body.

She wondered if it was because there was no one to enjoy the moonlight with her.

If only Carmen, her only friend, were still around.

Felicia sighed softly and slowly closed her eyes. The night was silent, with all sounds fading into stillness.

She lay there for a long time until her drowsiness gradually washed over her. Curling up on the recliner, she decided to spend the night there.

But as she drifted on the cusp of sleep, a faint, distant sound of a bell reached her ears.

The sound was ancient and mysterious, like a chant from a distant land. It sounded layered, sometimes near, sometimes distant.

Felicia felt as though her consciousness had lifted from her. All she could hear was the haunting chime of a bell, captivating her very soul.

Something was wrong! Where was the sound coming from?

Felicia tried to open her eyes, but she had no control over her body!

She bit down hard on the tip of her tongue. The metallic taste of blood filled her mouth, and her body suddenly felt lighter. She snapped her eyes open, only to find herself standing in the middle of the road!
