The Count of Monte Cristo - Chapter 19 – The Third Attack

In this chapter of The Count of Monte Cristo, Edmond Dantès faces his darkest moment yet. The treasure of Monte Cristo becomes more than legend as Abbé Faria shares his final teachings and entrusts Edmond with the secret. But when the abbé suffers his third and fatal attack, Edmond is left alone in the prison, mourning the loss of his only friend and mentor. The bond of knowledge, loyalty, and hope is broken—and Edmond must now carry both the burden of vengeance and the promise of treasure into an uncertain future.
