Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Risking my life

Chapter-88

AMALTHEA'S POV

"Miss, I won't be going forward from here," The cab driver suddenly spoke, and I opened my eyes before lifting my hat.

"What's the matter? I paid you the fare to this particular destination according to the fuel charges, didn't I? How can you bail at the last moment? Where would I even hail a cab in this region? As far as I know, it's still around 25 kilometers to the destination," I said, and the cab driver shook his head.

"Madam, it’s not about that. I am ready to return your money, but I won't go further. I just found out that the highway road to reach this Palace is under some repair, and we will have to take this forest route. When I had agreed to drive you there, I didn’t know about that. I have heard plenty of news about this forest and how humans disappear from these forests. Please spare me. I have a family with a two-year-old daughter. I can't risk my life like that," He said, and I looked at him helplessly.
