While Theodore was away, Adeline was panicking more and more. She was still in her workroom, pacing back and forth until her legs felt numb.
She was dying to know why her father had gone to Azriel's place. She felt as though her heart was beating in her mouth. She did not want her father to join hands with Azriel and do something to separate her from Theodore once again.
She did not have the energy left in her to go through the separation again. She thought that she would rather die and go to Hell to be with Theodore than to live and stay apart from him.
After about an hour, Adeline felt that neither her father nor Theodore were returning any time soon. So instead of pacing back and forth in her room, she thought of gathering some information related to Mihir and the vampires. She wanted to distract herself from the horrific thoughts that she was having.
