| always thought that Carter was the one person in the world who would never makecry. He lovedso

much, and he would never even letfeel the slightest bit of injustice. How could he possibly makecry? But

as soon as | thought about all that he had silently given up for me, | couldn't stop the tears from falling.

In fear that he might notice, | closed my eyes and let the water from my bath slide down my cheeks, pretending

as if | hadn't been crying at all.

Carter, what have | done to deserve someone like you, someone who would give up everything, even his life, for

me?

Sitting on the floor, | hugged my knees tightly. It wasn't us who deserved to suffer-it was those devils. Why did

Carter and | have to pay such a heavy price?

It becclear that Amber was no ordinary person. She had recognized the origin of that stone with just one

glance.

When she said those words, did she already guess my true identity?

How could a stranger possibly think of something as absurd as reincarnation?

Unless ...

She was involved too.

Peter, Amber... Could they be the missing Boltons' twins?

But Peter didn't resemble Adam, nor did he look anything like Luke.

Had their faces been altered?

If they were twins, it didn't add up. After all, wasn't it them who caused the car accident that harmed my Esther

and Carter?

If they had ill intentions toward Carter, they had countless chances over the years to harm him. Yet today, they

seemed very kind to him.

The truth was right in front of me, but it felt as if a fog covered everything, blockingfrom seeing the full

picture.

Where had | gone wrong?

7357. UT.

Regardless of who they were, their apparent goodwill toward Carter didn't mean they would have the same

attitude toward me. Especially if Amber had figured out my identity-then would be the one in the greatest

danger.

They had already tried to killonce, and they would certainly try again.

Once | managed to distract myself, my emotions finally calmed down. | cleaned myself up, making sure my eyes

weren't red, and then walked out like nothing had happened. Carter had already changed into his pajamas and

gently placed the Soulstone around my neck.

The cold stone pressed against my chest, sending a shiver through me.

Quickly, he rubbed it with his hands to warm it up before settling it back down.

Such a gentleman-why did he have to loveso much?

| didn't deserve it and couldn't bear to look into his kind eyes.

"Carter, I'm going to check on Zoey."

"Okay."

| had once thought of the stone as my life-saving talisman, but now all | felt was unease. It had becmore of

a death omen.

As | turned the corner of the stairs, | saw feathers drifting through the air like a snowstorm.

Zoey and Harlan had somehow managed to get the down feathers out of the pillow.

Among the feathers, | saw Zoey sitting on Harlan's waist, playfully smacking him with the pillow.

Their carefree atmosphere lifted my own gloomy mood.

Harlan must have been too lenient with Zoey. How else could she have captured him like this? Leaning against

the stairs, | watched them with a wry smile. "Quite the playful scene." Zoey quickly put the pillow down, looking

at the chaos around her.

"Hmm, | didn't mean for it to happen. It's all Harlan's fault for tempting me," she said.

Harlan pouted, "All | did was kiss you once. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?" "How dare you bring

that up? You rogue!"

As | watched them tease each other, a heaviness settled back into my heart.

| wanted to be carefree too, to be able to cuddle up in Carter's arms without a care in the world.

The truth was a heavy burden, and | couldn't help but wonder how much pain Carter must have been hiding all

this time, holding onto the truth by himself.

"Mr. Pearson, Zoey and | need to have a private chat. Could you please let her go?" | spoke up.

Zoey slipped off Harlan's lap and, pullingalong, ledinto the bedroom.

She said frantically, "Chloe, | swear it wasn't on purpose! He just suddenly leaned in and puckered his

"What is it?" she asked.

"I need you to cwithto the town again, but this time, we can't let Carter know."

"Why? Aren't you two close?"

"It's a long story, but it's really important to me. Not just for Carter, but Harlan can't know either. Just tell him

that you miss your mom, and I'll go with you." Seeing my serious expression, Zoey also grew serious. "Okay, |

understand."

"Zoey, I'm not joking. If this information gets out, one of us-Carter or I-might end up dead."

Zoey was startled. "Don't scare me. | swear, | won't tell anyone. I'll listen to you."

"| think someone may already be watching me. We need to have my dad cpick us up. It will be safer that

way."

"Okay, I'll get Dad to arrange a private plane. Don't worry, Chloe."

Zoey knew | wasn't playing around. She held my hand tightly. "This time, with me, Carter, and my parents, we'll

protect you. No one will hurt you again."

Her solemn expression moved me, and | pulled her into a hug. "Thank you, Zoey."

"No, thank you, Chloe. You're the savior of our family. This time, odd will definitely be on your side!"
