Chapter 70 At The Crown Hotel

• The nexday…
• As the sun rose, casting a soft golden glow across the room, Alice stirred as her alarm clock blared its familiar tune at precisely 7 o'clock. Groggy-eyed and disoriented, she reached over to silence the alarming noise. However, as her senses gradually awakened, a gnawing feeling of concern began to bloom within her.
• The remnants of sleep quickly dissipated from Alice's mind as she recalled that her dearest friend, Emily, had not returned home the previous night. An unsettling realisation settled in her chest, causing her heartbeat to quicken. Questions surged through her thoughts like a relentless tide, as she pondered Emily's whereabouts and well-being.
